What's the best way to get rid of zits/pimples/blackheads and prevent them?

Answer 1

apply lemon juice and honey

Answer 2

try bi'ore skin "bandaids"...they rid the skin of blackheads...really well,,,you can also use the store's versions... they work the same!

also, I have used either alcohol and water on a tissue or cotton..and I just swab it...you can do this continously, like in different parts of the day..to make sure that you keep getting the oils off of your skin(the bad ones),and to make sure that the skin is really clear..and it is removing the dirt from starting to hide on your skin...or just like two to three times a day!
You can also use whatever clarifyer that you happen to like...Seabreeze is a good one..they have one for sensitve skins...and there are many others out there!
But, what you should know..is don't pinch them..otherwise you get scars...(that is what many people don't think about..and don't know how dangerous is actually is to do this!)
We all have a triangle shaped zone on our face...and basically we are NOT supposed to be messing with that!
You can have brain problems,and eye problems..and other severities...if you are not being cautious!
I learned about this a long time back....I am not kidding..so take this seriously....also ask a doctor if you think that I am joking.


Just be really careful,,,,swabbing is gentle enough!
Also, you can wash your face..with soaps..etc...check out dermatoligist sites on -line as well!

Answer 3

I use Proactive and the Proactive Refining Mask. The mask is so good because if you start seeing a pimple you can dab some of the mask on it, let it dry, got to sleep, the next morning wash the mask off and the pimple won't be huge or sometimes won't even be there anymore!!! The downside of going to sleep with it on is that it has a bleach like substance and stains and discolors my pillows sometimes and my towels when I dry my face.

If Proactive is not in your price range go shopping around for these 3 things: 1) Cleanser/Scrub/Wash 2)Toner/Astrigent
3) Moisterizer. Those three things are what are basically included in the Proactive set. If you need help go to this link: http://cleanandclear.com/findRoutine.do;jsessionid=OFbVx3INodU2IUgkjZjEMODatU4

Hope this helps and good luck!!! ;~)

Answer 4

First, you have to determine why you are breaking out. For me, it's stress & cycle related.

Don't overwash your face. This will strip away the natural oils that are supposed to be there. Pimples will show up on really dry skin just as fast as oily skin. Find what works for you. Many OTC acne products contain benz.perox....this can severely dry out skin, and make problems worse! There needs to be a balance.
Try washing with a gentle non-soap cleanser in the AM, then again in the PM. Blotting papers during the day help with oil, if that's a problem.

Drink plenty of water!!! This will help your body cleanse itself from the inside.

Keep hands away from face.

Wipe your phones, etc...with a lysol or other wipe, to get bacteria off.

My breakouts had been pretty bad, until I tried Arbonne's Clear Advantage: https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/northcoast.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument&shoppingcart=1

I'm sensitive to a lot of stuff in the "drugstore" cleansers & such, and this cleanser & cream was AMAZING!!!! My skin cleared up in about 2 weeks!

Answer 5

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots
