Answers:
Since at least part of acne is an infection of the plugged skin ducts this remedy works both sides of the equation. Take a cotton swab and dab at your pimples with hydrogen peroxide. That will help disinfect. Then, to lessen the flow of oil that plugs the ducts, drink a little vinegar. That way, you reduce the acne at the source and the pimples start to go away.Health Question & Answer

It would be the best solution to use natural ways by applying natural home remedies for your problems here. Why dont you try apply honey as a masker, rub it on your face at least 3x a week, and leave it minimum 30 minutes, then wash your face with warm water and then cold water. This is a good natural way for prevention & natural cure. It works best for me, especially because I'm living in the most polluted metropolitan city & I always look for a natural remedies. I have tried medication but don't work good on me, and besides that, they are more expensive & have bad side effects.

Other way is, rub pimple or acne candidate with garlic slice several times. It is claimed that they will not grow or bigger.

Please bear in mind, before you carry out these simple steps, make sure you have already cleaned your hands and the particular skin, including the garlic you will use as remedies.

Don't forget also, your daily intake play significant to your overall health, including your skin & face. Increase your intake regularly with more fruits & vegetables, make it varied every day. Plus, drink water averagely 8 glass/day for better digestion. Avoid junk food, dried foods, preservatives, MSG, unhealthy snacks, etc. It's the best to have your vegetables by steam/stew or boil instead of fry them in oil.Health Question & Answer

Acne is a bacteria that needs to be killed. Witch Hazel is also works great.. it is a little smelly, but you can use a cotton ball or wash cloth.

You should get a good multivitamin(highly suggest) with vitamin a,c,e,d and zinc.. this should help tons! Eating carrots also helps.. there is beta-carotene (Vitamin A) in them which helps prevent acne and repair the skin. Take zinc, zinc is a antibacterial agent.

Try these home remedies and natural treatment to get rid of your acne:

Health Question & Answer

When I was a teen, my gramma gave me 'an old fashioned facial.' Get a headband and pull your hair from your face and tuck it under the band so no hair interferes. Wet a rag with hot water squeeze excess water from the rag. Lay the rag over you face and let it soak on you skin for 15-20 seconds. (This process open up your pores).

Get a bar of non-cosmegetic (does not clog pores) soap. Lather up a clean wash cloth (do not use a wash cloth that you have already used). You want more soap and lather than water. Gently scrub your entire face until it is covered. Let the soap dry on your face for 30 seconds to 1 minutes. RInse thoroughly and carefully (don't get soap in your eyes).
Lay a cold rag on your face then you finish to close your pores. (You don't want your enlarged pores to stay open, the cold cloth closes them back up.

Repeat 2- times per day (once when you get up and once before you go to bed). I don't know if this is recommended by cosmotologists, but it cured me. But I did not suffer from sever acne. (maybe b-cuz of this.?.?).



If that does't work, I've heard rave reviews of Pro-active.
