Q: acne remedy. ?
What is an acne remedy that has worked wonders for you?

A: zapzyt. it’s an ointment that comes in a 1 oz. tube, and you can usually find it at wal-mart for 4 or 5 dollars. it’s an overnight wonder!

Q: What is the best natural acne remedy that you have tried?
Currently I have acne all over my face, and I am sick of it. Once school gets out in May, I think I’m going to get on Acutane, but until then, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a natural acne remedy that would work for my situation. Thanks.

A: I used Ivory soap (99% pure) and warm water, washed my face gently with my hands, not a cloth. Then I splashed my face with warm water five times, then cooler water 3 times then cold water twice. I patted my face, not rubbed dry.

Then, I would apply Noxema face cream only to my blemishes. Just a dot on each and let it disappear, don’t rub. My face cleared up in about 30 days with this, and I only had an occasional blemish throughout high school after that because I continued this regime twice daily. First thing in the morning, and last thing at night.

Q: Acne Remedy?
Does anyone know a nice home remedy that works very very quickly within days preferably + I’d hate to have to go to the store.

A: take only the white of an egg and juice a lemon into a bowl and put it in the mixer until it is white and fluffy. put in on your face and neck and let it sit for 15 minutes or until it completely dries. wash it off with warm water. pimples and pores will look reder than usual but after an hour or so your face wont be red AT ALL (thanks to the egg white) and your pimple will be gone the next day (lemon juice). i swear by this mask. i use it 4 times a week and my skin has never looked better!
good luck

Q: Hello, I am developing worst kind of acne breakouts, is there any natural over the counter acne remedy?
I am developing worst kind of acne breakouts, is there any natural over the counter acne remedy that is safe and effective even for having sensitive skin.

A: most acne medication that are available in the market are either ineffective or they have some sort of side effect. The thing that worked for me was Acne getaway 101E. it has a strong smell but it is effective, plus it leaves the skin healthy unlike most acne medication which dry out the skin.

Q: Where can I find these things for an acne remedy?
I need to know where to find the following things for an acne remedy:
-Witch hazel
-Salicylic Acid
-Benzoyl Peroxide (maybe in gel form)

Thanks!

A: Just about any drugstore, grocery store, or mass merchandise store (like Target).

You won’t be able to buy the pure components, but Benzoyl Peroxide is what’s used in most topical acne spot treatments and if they don’t use BP, they likely use Salicylic acid instead.

Q: What is the best acne remedy?
I have tried alot of acne remedies but get no relief. I think I may be irritated by Benzoyl Perozide. Any ideas for good products…

A: Yes! soocerme is absolutely correct!

Apply a thin layer of Milk of Magnesia with a cotton ball 3 to 4 times a week, let it dry and then remove with a warm cloth before applying your normal cosmetics in the morning. It also reduces redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Works Great!

Also, Apply a dab of good ole Listerine Mouthwash to the area of ’small pimples’ at night and usually by morning the spot is clear. It doesn’t irritate the surrounding skin either. : D

The herbal extracts and alcohol in Listerine that are supposed to “kill germs by millions on contact” are useful in helping your blemishes heal.

Hope I helped you.

Q: What is a good simple home remedy for acne?
I been using clearasil ultra for my acne but it’s a little to harsh for my skin and hasn’t been working that well. I’ve been using it for about 2 months and the acne goes away but leaves horrale red dots and by time they go away new acne comes. Does anyone know a simple home remedy to make that will help my acne, and maybe even help my dry skin? Also if you know any good products for acne that works well let me know. Thanks.

A: Hi,

Skin experts and practitioners recommend several natural acne treatments:

http://www.acnepilot.com/acne-medications/home-and-over-the-counter-acne-medications.php

1. Avoid touching your face. Stop putting your hands by your face! I am often guilty of this resting my hand on the side of my head while reading. Also rubbing or bracing your chin is another common problem when thinking. Avoid rubbing, touching, or itching your skin with your hands. Your hands contain a lot of bacteria that can cause acne flare-ups. It is probably one of the most difficult things to avoid since much of the hand to face contact throughout the day we are unconscious of. Make it a habit to avoid hand contact and be conscious of it during the day to avoid bacteria.

2. Wash your face twice a day (thrice at most) with gentle and unperfumed cleanser. Avoid using soaps as they contain harsh chemicals and ingredients that can damage your skin.

3. Avoid the temptation to pick, prick and squeeze your acne. This will send the infection deeper into the skin and can cause severe scarring.
For mild to moderate acne, you can use over- the- counter topical ointments, solutions, lotions or gels that contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or azelaic acid as an alternative to benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is best at killing P. acnes and may reduce oil production. Resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur help break down blackheads and whiteheads. Salicylic acid also helps cut down the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the oil glands.

4. Tea tree oil is a natural antibiotic and antibacterial agent and has a drying effect on the skin. It keeps the P. Acnes bacteria at bay along with decreasing facial oiliness, which makes this oil a worthwhile investment.

5. Topical antibiotic solutions and lotions can also be applied.

6. Sulfur helps to heal existing blemishes by unblocking pores.

7. Alpha or Beta Hydroxy Acids (AHA or BHA) works by keeping the skin exfoliated. Glycolic acid, the most well-known of the bunch is a useful adjuvant therapy for mild acne. Mandelic acid, a lesser known one, but one that combines the keratolytic properties of glycolic acid with natural antibacterial properties that help reduce the presence of P. acnes, may be considered a more effective alpha hydroxy acid in treating acne lesions. It is also much less irritating than glycolic acid, a factor that may be very important to those with sensitive skin who are unable to use other agents such as Retin-A, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, or salicylic acid. It is effective in treating mild cases of acne on its own, and can be used successfully with other therapies on moderate acne.

Q: Does anyone have a home remedy for acne?
If anyone out there has a home remedy for acne- please fil me in! I have tried white toothpaste (it works to a degree) and everything else OTC, but if someone has a old home remedy, let me know! I don’t mean severe acne, I mean ones that pop up from time to time. I wash my face with a mild soap twice a day with lukewarm water and follow up with a cold rinse to close pores. Help anyone?

A: You can check out in the source.

Q: What home remedy for acne does really work well?
well,I have acne…it doesnt sound like pimple…like rashes all over the face..I went to doctor,and gone through various acne treatments but of no use….I need to know whether any home remedy that really work well for my kind of acne…I have oily skin too..I have to try out in routine..I’m badly hurted by this…so,pls help me!!!!

A: • Gently rubbing a fresh clove of garlic directly to pimples will contribute to a permanent cure for acne. This has worked as a success for many acne sufferers. Garlic helps to reduce the symptoms of acne such as spots, inflammation and relieve swelling very quickly. Frequent usage of garlic will result to a glowing skin.

• During chronic conditions of acne make a mixture with these delicious ingredients: cucumber juice, 1 tablespoon of yogurt, tomato juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, few drops of mint juice and coriander juice. Apply it over your acne areas and leave it for 10 minutes then wash off.

• Your body needs plenty of vitamin C to b able to fight against acne. Drinking fresh orange juice regularly will progressively fade away acne scars. Vitamin C contributes in the restoration of damaged skin. To be frank, I personally do not like orange but I consume it to keep my skin healthy! Anyways, you may drink any fresh fruit’s juice rich in vitamin C.

Q: Which is a powerful acne remedy Lemon Juice or Lime Juice?
I want to stop my face from blowing up with acne and blemishes.. Everytime i go out with my family or with my ex, i felt embarrassed having acne and blemishes. So i’m deciding to put an end to this with lemon juice or lime juice. I have use clearasil and Proactive both of them works but its delaying on removing dead skin cells and i want a fast remedy ASAP…

DEALING WITH ACNE SCARRING
DEALING WITH STRETCH MARKS

…THE INFO’S BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE. I’M 36 NOW SO I’VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THOUGH MUCH OF THIS ANSWER MAY BE IRRELEVANT, I HOPE THERE’LL BE SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP YOU!

GOOD LUCK!!!

RECOMMENDED SKIN CARE…I use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. I’ve tried various ‘oil free’/’salicylic acid’ moisturisers but the best I’ve found is the clean and clear on…I found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.

EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!…The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn’t make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.

HORMONAL SPOTS…Any female with spots I’d recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it’s hormonal that can sort everything out within weeks…though it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.

FACIAL ACNE: AVOID…Don’t use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil…just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs I’ve tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.

I’ve also had problems with those ‘facial wipes’ made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because they’re too drying and when the top layer’s too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!

Some say chocolate doesn’t affect it…it does for me and I don’t know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.

HAIR PRODUCTS…Be careful what products you use in your hair if it’s long – certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.

INGROWING HAIRS…For men or women…if you have oily skin, these are more likely. For men…use a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that don’t have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too – so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.

For women…waxing seems to cause the main problem – we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creams…to avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves – that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.

NUTRITION…I recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex – those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.

OLD WIVES TALE??…It’s an ‘old wives tale’ type remedy – but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too…kinda like honey and lemon X

HYDRATION….Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!

DEALING WITH SCARRING…there’s an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called ‘re-finish’ by L’oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture – smoothes it back out. It comes with it’s own moisturiser which I don’t use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.

If you get your skin relatively under control, try using ‘21 days Fade Cream’ (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. It’s a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!

Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefit’s Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain – this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesn’t smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesn’t aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.

Q: Anyone know a remedy for acne that is natural?
Acne on the face, shoulders and back…almost cyst like. Does anyone have or has used a natural remedy to help reduce the acne and the scaring?

A: Firstly my answer is a long term plan and not short term, it’s impossible to get rid of scars or spot on your back even with medication in few weeks and months as well because scars take 27days to heal and show new skin

1. Stop picking at any pimples you get and avoid sun as much as possible..
2. Do not use deodorant soap or washes to wash your face.
3. Mostly use only cool or cold water to wash your face.
4. Wash your face only 2 or at the most 3 times in a day.
5. Rest of the day if you require just splash some cool or cold water and pat dry or air dry your face.
6. Keep hair off your face.
7. Do not sleep on your face.
8. Avoid scrubbing the face.
9. Drink 15-20 glasses of water in a day.
10. To speed healing of acne and improve your facial complexion start eating more vegetables and fruits.
11. Avoid artificial sugar.
12. Avoid refined flour.
13. Almost give up beef and pork and alcohol.
14. Eat chicken and fish in moderation only and eggs as well.
15. Last but not the least sleep well at night.

Doctors say diet cannot cause acne but it’s actually the diet that causes all problems.
I am not asking you to give up things you like forever but until you see good improvement and when you eat something just eat in moderation and never eat too much of a particular type of food.

Medication will give you a relief but as soon as you stop it they will be back with vengeance, for severe acne you may want to goto doctor, however observing good diet can show you tremendous improvement in 5 – 6 months.
Remember medication has it’s own side effects like hairfall, acidity, sleepy state of mind.

Remember if you have severe acne do visit a doctor however you can atleast see how much difference a complete change in diet makes, usually 5-6months after you switch to healthier diet.

All the best
