I dont know if I would do this, but my mom said when she was younger she had acne real bad and her mom mixed a tsp of yeast in a glass of warm water and had her drink it.  She said she broke out really bad and then all of the acne went completely away and never came back.

Hey there. I had acne horribly as a teen. Let me tell you. ^^ Now first you msut understand that acne starts as an internal problem - the pimples are just a symptom of a greater problem. You need to eat healthily - don't eat too few calories or nutrients or too many as both have hazardous effects on the skin thus resulting in inflamed unhappy skin.\n\nNow my suggestion is to eat foods rich in antioxidants which are naturally good for you and your skin. Green tea, white tea, and water are excellent choices along with raw fruits and vegetables. Next you should be taking a vitamin supplement. There's this formula at Walgreens called "Nature's Cure" for men and women - it has these pills which are homeopathic herbal supplements (aka vitamin tablets.) The box is about 10$ or less and it comes with a cream. I'd chunck the cream.\n\nSeriosuly, all those topical acne products do nothing for the skin other than dry it out and aggrevate it. Serisouly. A good skin regimen is a cleanser specific to your skin type, a toner and a moisturizer. Use in that order at a maximum of twice a day. Now my suggestions on products would be the Almay line as it's color coded by skin type and is a full system. Although it can be a tad over priced for drugstore brand stuff.\n\nAlso use a gentle chemical peel once a week ( a scrub is too rough for acne prone skin and can cause other problems and make acne worse) such as Olay Thermal Scrub which isn't a scrub at all. Heh. \n\nIt has a mild amount of glycolic acid (this stuff will lightly slough off dead skin - dead skin is major cause of acne as the oils produced by the skin mix with the dead skin creating this bacteria infested almost "cheese" known as sebum or smegma in the pore) so look for stuff with glycolic acid to help your skin renew it's self.\n\nIf you have body acne then might I suggest the same regimen but a little tougher products? Also make sure your towels are always clean when you bathe or shower and that your clothes including your bra are always fresh and clean each time you wear them. Also wash your bedding every two days and alternate between headphones or use earbuds. One more suggestion is to either chunk foundation entirely or use just a loose powder with a large fluffy brush. You should soak your makeup tools in an alchohol and water solution once a week to kill bacteria. \n\nThe things that I have listed are the most common reasons for acne to occur and I hope that you'll take these steps towards healthier skin and I promise if you follow what I've outlined here you're problem will be solved. =d

Acne is normally caused by the hormonal changes in your body. Washing is one of the ways to Lower the amount of pimples you get, but not the only way. The oil glands in your hair and skin produce a specific type of oil lubricant, Sebum, but as a teen’s body matures hormones cause these glands to go into overdrive and produce more than necessary. Your pores become clogged and a bacteria gets trapped inside, that bacteria cause’s acne.\n\nNow washing your face two or three times a day can help prevent the buildup of oils, but make sure you DO NOT SCRUB HARD. Washing your face as gently as you can helps, Scrubbing with pressure actually worsens it by irritating your skin and pores! \n\nIf you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." This means it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne. And when you are washing your face, be sure you take the time to remove all of your makeup so it doesn't clog your pores. If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face, as they can also clog pores. If you have long hair that touches your face, be sure to wash it frequently enough to keep oil away.\n\nThere are many over-the-counter lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide available to help prevent acne and clear it up at the same time. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly - don't use more than you're supposed to at one time, as your skin may get too dried out and feel and look worse.\n\nSometimes even though they wash properly and try lotions and oil-free makeup, people get acne anyway - and this is totally normal. In fact, some girls who normally have a handle on their acne may find that it comes out a few days before they get their period. This is called premenstrual acne, and about seven out of 10 women get it from changes in hormones in the body.\n\nIf you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it. This might be hard to do - it can be pretty tempting to try to get rid of a pimple. But when you play around with pimples, you can cause even more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Plus, the oil from your hands can't help! More importantly, though, picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars on your face.\n\nAcne is passed on from your parents ask them about their Acne. What helped them may work for you; there is no one single cure for Acne.\n\nFission\n\nNOTE: Some people believe that foods and stress cause breakouts. These are Myths, they are not true.\n\nAcne isn't caused by eating greasy foods like french fries or pizza, chomping on chocolate, or drinking sodas. Stress doesn't usually cause acne either (although it can make existing acne worse because stress increases sebum production).\nThere are also myths about what helps make acne better. Acne isn't really helped by the sun. Although a tan can temporarily make acne look less severe, it won't help it go away permanently - and some people find that the oils their skin produces after being in the sun make their pimples worse.

Acne may be due to an improper mineral balance in your gut. If your gut is telling you to try Zinc, why not listen to it? Taking 50 mg's of Zinc each as a supplement could help with your acne. You might take a copper and calcium supplement as well. Avoid all dairy and wheat products. Avoid shampoo with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water. Change your table salt to sea salt. Stick with it and expect wonderful results.

ways to get rid of pimples\n1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.\n\n2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.\n\n3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.\n\n4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.\n\n5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.\n\n6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.\n\n7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. \n\n8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.\n\n9. Use water-based make-up.\n\n10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.\n\n11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.\n\n12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.\n\n13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.\n\n14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne.

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

I would suggest a multi-vitamin that has been designed specifically for men.  But make sure that the multi-vitamin has a high concentration of Omega 3 as an ingredient.  Or alternatively, take a fish oil capsule in addition to your multi-vitamin.  Fish oil and in particularly omega 3 rich fish oil have a proven track record in promoting health in the brain, nervous system and more importantly in your case the skin.  I used to have a bad acne problem when I was young and I can tell you, I tried everything.  But this was the only thing that really worked.  I also suggest the try adding deep sea fish as a regular staple in your diet also.  Good luck.\n\nPete (yaxman)

Acne is connected w/ food that we eat... Fatty foods is "NO" to avoid having acne. Lot of fluid intake is also a must to do. Wash fash w/ mild facial soap or any facial solution. Avoid too much make-up and make sure that you don't sleep w/o washing it off. \n\npopping acne is also not a good idea to do... you will only damage your skin more by doing so... Eat more fruits and more VIT E supplements daily. Sleep early at least 8 hrs/day.\n\navoid smoking and alcohol...

Some solutions that may help cure acne are already in your home.\n\n1. If a pimple appears, don't break it immediately.\n2. Before you go to bed, wash your face (liquid cleansers work the best and do not overdry your face).\n3. Pat dry.\n4. If you have any type of mint toothpaste, dab a little on your pimple.\n5. Cover the spot with a small band-aid.\n6. By morning, the swelling should go down and the redness should be almost gone.\n7. For extreme breakouts, there are many over the counter face cleansers. \n\n* All acne medications cause your skin to break out more than when you started because the cleansers are cleaning out your pores and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface which in turn causes a massive break out. Give it about two weeks and you will notice a big difference in your skin.\n* Avoid eating lots of sugar as sugar causes outbreaks most of the time.\n* Drink lots of water. \n\n* Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and more acne than when you started.
