Treat Acne
What is the most effective way to treat acne?
I’ve been suffering from acne for years now and no matter what I try, it’s not going away. I know it has to do with hormones and growth, since I am a teenager, but it is really getting annoying. I’m so sick of having such a problem. I’ve tried Proactive, various natural remedies, and other over the counter products, but none have worked. I have oily skin and I’m thinking about using an acne peel as my last resort. I don’t want to become dependent on such medicines, however. Any suggestions?
I <3 Neutrogena and I use Clean & Clear cleansing pads (from the Avon magazine).
First, start using the Neutrogena advanced solution set which you can find in any supermarket. Get the Neutrogena foundation or concealer for acne.
Not only does it cover the blemishes smoothly, it gets rid of them!!!!! YAY!!! At least it worked for me.
If you decide to use to use the Neutrogena, carry a makeup bag with it in it.
Or if you are into home remedies (the get-rid-of-quick kind of stuff) here's what I can tell you:
Trying to clear them up in one day is hard and can leave your skin inflamed for a while...
HOWEVER, there are a few remedies that I have experimented with. My friends and family were happy to share some with me.
1. Apply lemons or tomatoes to your face, cut them into fours, and rub along face. Go to sleep and the next day- your pimples should be visibly smaller.
2. A mask of grated apple mixed with a little honey is an excellent remedy for pimples. Most facial masks can be applied to the skin for 15-20 minutes then washed off with warm water, followed by a cold rinse.
3. Another overnight home remedy for zapping a zit is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. You may need to test this on a short-term basis to make sure it doesn't irritate your pimple. Calamine lotion will have the same drying effect. (THIS ONE WORKED FOR ME, MY FRIEND GIT A RED RASH HOWEVER).
4. Grind some nutmeg with milk and apply on affected area. Pimples disappear like magic without leaving a mark.
5. Make a paste of roasted & powdered pomgranate skin with fresh lime juice and apply over PIMPLES.
6. Rubbing alcohol
7. Mix corn flour with egg white and apply on your face. Let is dry completely for 1/2 hour. Dip your hands in warm water and massage your face and wash off. This when repeated regularly gives you a smooth skin.
8. Honey
9. Dilute some lemon juice with water and dab on pimples to kill germs, cool inflammation and improve blood circulation. Lemon is also good for removing scars. That means any pimples you popped in angst that left a scar will go away over time. Lemon contains acid so it's like having an acid peel thing going, but not. Your skin will be so clear you can set that makeup aside for special occasions.
MOST OF THESE THINGS ARE EASY TO FIND- I didn't include things that are hard to find. I hope on of these works for you.
Though if you are willing to wait, Neutrogena advanced solution has done wonders for me.
Sorry for the length, GOOD LUCK! iHate pimples
By the way, if you are looking to cure acne for the long-term, you need to put in the effort. Eat plenty of vitamins- little greasy foods. Don't touch your face often. Try not to get too stressed, exercise often. You know the wrap!
