Acne Remedies?
May anyone consider giving me some acne remedies?
(Home rememdies, Homeopathy, Cleasners, ETC.)
My dad is suppose to go out for me and get me whatever I want because I am passing a school class (With an A finally!), and I’m suppose to tell him by tomorrow. So any ideas?
P.S.: I don’t want an answer like “Visit a dermatologist…” because, as I know, since I am under the age of 18 and it’ll be pointless because of the fact that it’s my hormones. BUT it doesn’t mean that acne isn’t ruining my self esteem so please give me answers that’ll actually help me?! =(

This is what I suggest:
Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good consistancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. These two things are very inexpensive and it’s very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.
Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. But this is not recommended to everyone because it can make it worse.
Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you’re prone to pimples. Don’t use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don’t scrub too hard when you wash your face, because it can irritate your skin.
Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one or two tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don’t pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars. Zinc can be found in many types of fishes.
If you have sensitive skin, don’t use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands are full of bacteria and oils. Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they’re are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.
An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water. Aloe vera helps acne scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.
Try these home remedies for acne:
Wash the face twice daily with a tea of calendula officinalis
· Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water. Repeat for two weeks,
· Use aloe vera juice on the pimples morning and night for as long as necessary (perhaps five months or longer).
· Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.
· Rub garlic on and around pimples.
· Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of pimples.

well first of tooth paste irritates it and i tried proactive for a year and nothing
so i developed this
1.wet your face with warm water
2.wash you face genitally with clinque face soap
3.pat dry (rubbing ruins your skin)
4.crave face cream (or any cream)
5.acne cream of you choice ( i prefer cleasal ultra)
6.if that drys your face out then use another layer of face cream
7.do this when you wake and when you are about to go to bed
8.also if your acne is red cause you scratched or poped it put on neosporene before you go to bed
9.put you hair in a pony tail and push all the hair that will go in your face when you sleep back the one of those sport hair band things that go around you head
10.change your pillow every so often
11.wash hair ever other day so is not greasy and gets in your face so it gives you more acne
12.and never wipe your sweat from your face with you hand EVER
dont ever not do this for a day or you will get more
it works for me
in about 1 week or less it should start to go away
proactive. i use it and after years of bumps and low self esteem, have GORGEOUS SKIN! try it!
