Do not use makeup, or things that would clog your pores.
No not touch your face, hands are oily, and when your hands are dirty, its much worse.

Hey, Sarah Here,
Rip them off with tweezers
It works trust me:)
drinking lots of water helps…laying off sodas.
drink a lot of orange juice or anything orange (just not candy! haha) oranges are stuffed with vitamin c and your acne will clear up in like a week! trust me, every day for a week i ate 2 clementines and my face was spotless
Dont eat fast food, or any other foods that are fried. also i have found that keeping your havds from touching your face helps keep the bacteria from migrating to other pores and infecting them.
You’ll find this video very helpful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtl-1Kn8Gps
It’s a YouTube video by a “beauty guru” (someone who makes videos on makeup, hair, fashion etc). I know that sounds really girly but this particular video is aimed at both guys and girls and she gives you LOTS of ways to rid yourself of acne! (Lots of natural ways too)
STOP using drugstore acne creams, gels, washes, exfoliators etc… Those only irritate and dry your skin actually making it worse. I use to have some acne problems a couple years ago and I used Clearisil, Neutrogena, and a whole lot of other products that supposedly fight acne including Proactive. Now I rarely have a pimple and my face is really clear. I sotpped using all that stuff and just washed my face daily with a mild soap and only used baby lotion on my face. The problem was the “acne fighting creams” irritating my face. Olay facial lotions are good also and don’t put body lotion on your face b/c it will most likely clog your pores.
Well, I don’t know anything that will help the body fight them. But if you cut a potato and rub it all over your face, that will help by cleaning your face. You’re going to see blackheads and dirt on the potato, but that’s normal. Keep cutting the potato and rubbing it on your face, until the potato is clean.
Do’s and Dont’s
Do drink a lot of water. It keeps your face hydrated and it also helps you lose weight at the same time
Don’t eat a lot of peanuts. The oil in it is bad for your skin.
Don’t have hair on your face. The oil in the hair will go to your skin and that’s bad.
Don’t touch your face so much. Or actually, don’t touch your face at all.
When you wear makeup, try to get waterbased makeup. Some makeups have ingredients in them that cause acne to come.
Don’t squeeze a pimple. That’ll just irritate your skin and leave a skin mark on your face, which is really hard to get rid of.
Chocolate isn’t bad for your face. It was proven to not be bad for you. (well it will make you fatter)
The only way you’ll get acne from chocolate is if it has peanuts or if you rub it on your face.:)
There’s this cleanser call Proactive. It really does work. And try a scrub. I use St. Ives scrub. But only put it on 3 times a week.
Eating water fruits (watermelon, melon, pineapple, mango, kiwi, papaya, plum, etc.) is really good for you skin too.
Eating a lot green vegetables is also a proven fact to help your skin.
Well, that’s about it.
Glad I could help.
Don’t wear makeup.
Wash your face when you wake up and before you go to bed.
If you have a pimple, put toothpaste on it. (it’ll dry it out)
Drink a lot of water. (Max . eight glasses of water a day. )
Keep your hands off your face!
Work out. Sweat somehow helps get ride of acne and makes you look great
Also Stress causes acne, so if theres any stress in your life, deal with it, to make your self more relax
Hope this helps
Acne occurs because dead skin cells and dirt clog your pores. Use a natural face scrub to remove dead skin cells and dirt. Also there is a natural mask that helps a lot with acne. Use a teaspoon of yeast, half a teaspoon of milk and two drops of lemon. You can make more if it’s not enough but the ingredients have to be proportional. As said, eating healthy can help a lot. Where i live, in the pharmacies there are over the counter pills that have yeast in them to help clear acne, too. I find yeast to work very well though.
Invest in a good moisturizer and use it morning and night on a clean face. A lot of the times when people suffer from acne, it’s because their skin is dehydrated. When our skin becomes dehydrated our body tries to moisturize itself with our natural oils (sebum). Sebum is what clogs our pores and creates blemishes. By properly moisturizing on a regular basis, our bodies will no longer pump out that excess sebum, and your skin stays clear and healthy.
Use Hydrogen Peroxide. As a toner. Seriously. It works. I’m going crazy without it. And I use anti bacterial soaps for a cleanser.
not natural but there’s this bar from neutrogena
not sure what its called but it has a gold color and it worked really well for me
gently rub it on the areas where acne is present and rinse, it takes away all the oils on your skin.
You are right to look for ways to help your body tackle the condition. Most treatments, including all the commercially produced ones, just treat the symptoms and don’t get to the underlying causes. i once heard it explained in a metaphor – If you live near a pond of stagnant water and suffer from the mosquitoes you could treat the problem with insecticides and kill the mosquitoes. but if you leave the stagnant pond the mosquitoes will soon come back. Same with acne if you just treat the symptoms they may go for a while, but they will soon be back.
Spots are caused by blocked pores, over production of sebum (natural oils that your body produces to keep your skin supple) and bacteria.
The sebum production is usually triggered by hormonal imbalance, caused by life stage changes, diet and stress.
Drink lots of water. Avoid processed foods – they are stuffed with sugars, fats and additives that can really unbalance your body. Excess sugar causes your body to produce insulin to regulate the sugar, it also stimulates production of testosterone (in men and women). Both these chemicals encourage the body to produce more sebum. The problem with the modern diet is that we continually get rushes of sugar and then crave more. this make the levels swing up and down rapidly.
The next thing to do is to eat fresh fruit and veg to increase the levels of vitamins, particularly vitamin C. Vitamin C is great for sweeping up toxins and flushing them out of your body.
Lastly try to keep to a good cleansing routine. There are plenty of natural ways to cleanse your skin, draw out toxins and dirt and kill bacteria. Honey and lemon work really well. The lemon is acidic so it kills bacteria and helps clear excess grease from your skin. The honey promotes healing and reduces redness, its best to get some natural honey as the commercial blends usually come from bees fed on sugar water and don’t have such good properties.
I’ve put some recipes for natural cleansers and face packs on my website. there is also lots more advice about natural treatment for acne.
Good luck I hope you find a way to treat your acne that is right for you.
