There are a lot of things that can help cure acne, but the few I rely on most are:\n-Drinking lots of water and tea...instead of soda or juice\n-Washing your face a lot\n-After making a cup of tea, take the used teabag and "wash" your face with it (I don't know if this actually does anything, but I keep hearing it does...and it doesn't hurt to try)\n-Put toothpaste on your zits

u can try using witch hazel. its 100% natural astringent gently cleanses and conditions skin without removing essential moisture. it cleanses deep down to the pores. another thing is our hands, we must remember our hands are very dirty. and every time we put our hands in our faces thats only adding to the acne on our face. wash your hands as constant as possible. and keep them out of your face

Dear, have you seen a really good dermatologist? I can understand you, because I am facing the same problem and I cam argue about the so advertised Proactive and other "magical" fast acne solutions. There are variety of other remedies, but they are complex and include not one aspect, you have to pay attention to your dietary regime ( eat as much raw food as you can), drink lots of pure water and herbal teas( a cup of Pu-Erh tea or a plain green tea are great). Cut the fat, sweet, red meat and emphasize on moderate usage of fish, chicken, yogurt ( but not milk), cereals ( the oats is great), especially red or orange colored veggies and fruits. Then you should pay attention to the mineral and Vitamin supplements, but not used recklessly. The main are Zinc, Selen, Magnesium, Vitamin A, E,C and Biotin. It is of vital importance what you intake, not what you put on your face only.\nAlways keep your face clean, and use a neutral facial gel or better special for acne-prone skin. Do not rub your face, never splash it with too warm water. If you have pimples, apply on them a solution including Erythromicin ( great working on acne) and Zinc. I would recommend you the French brand La Roche-Posay as the best up to my experience, namely Effaclar gel and Effaclar K cream.\nIf you have any further questions I would be happy to help you.\nHave a great day and feel fine!

3 steps for home remedy for acne (this does not get rid of scars), wash face w/ body soap, apply tea tree oil conditioner (found in most natural food stores), and moisturize (preferably w/  a moisturizer with a built in sun block spf 15).

One inexpensive thing to try is changing your diet. Some recommendations are:\n\n- eat fewer fatty foods, especially trans fats. Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are in a lot of fast food and junk food, such as Oreos and fried foods\n\n- eat more protein, mostly found in meat, but also in tofu and lentils\n\n- eat less grains, i.e. bread, spaghetti, pizza. This  and eating more protein has helped many friends of mine with their skin\n\n- don't have chocolate or coffee. These are not proven to have any relation to acne, but some doctors think certain people have skin reactions when they eat or drink a lot of it.\n\n\nI hope this helps! You'll have to experiment and see what works for you! Best of luck to you.

It is mostly hormonal in nature. Acne is caused by changes in your body and due to this imbalance, it triggers acnes and oily skin in teens and young adult.\n\nYou may want to visit a local drug store and buy an ointment or cream which will avoid further infection and reduce inflammation. They have and can recommend off-the-shelf cure for your problem.

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.

There is no scientific evidence that chocolate, french fries or other greasy foods cause acne. Acne is a skin disorder that can affect people at all ages, from infancy to old age. The years from adolescence to middle age tend to be the most troublesome as far as acne is concerned. \n\nSince the exact source of acne is not known, It is important to remember that there is no single medicine for acne treatment. Here are some guidelines to follow:\n\n    * Wash your skin twice a day with warm water and a gentle pH balanced soap that does not contain sulfur, chemicals, or perfume.\n\n    * Touch your face only when your hands are clean, wash them frequently and avoid touching your nasal area and then your skin.\n\n    * Steam your face a few times a week to open and cleanse your pores. Boil some water in a pot on the stove, turn off the heat, cover your head and face with a towel and hang your face over the pot. Take your face away from the heat whenever you need to, and when the steam is gone, rinse your face with cold water.\n\n    * Check out your diet. Try eating a diet high in fiber (salads, bran, complex carbohydrates), and lots of water. This will keep your digestive system working so that your skin is not burdened by wastes your system can't handle. Keep your diet low in fat and sugar. Eating healthier foods insures that your skin gets the nutrients it needs. Food allergies may also contribute to acne. You might try eliminating dairy products, wheat, and/or food preservatives.\n\nSee the following page for more detail:-

My wife had some acne issues when I met her 7 years ago.  She still has some to this day.  I see the other amazing things about her, and I don't feel that her acne marrs her beauty (how could something so small completely negate the entirety of her image?).  Find a man who could marry you for all the other wonderful things about you without being distracted by your acne.\n\nTo address the acne issue: wash your face with a nice face wash in the morning and at night.  You can try acne treatments, which will be available at your local drug store.  If none of that works, you can see a dermatologist who can prescribe other things for you.  My younger brother had a prescription that seemed to work miracles for him.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.\n\nFor me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.\n\nBottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.\nOh, by the way the site that helped me is:\nhttp://www.acne-treatment-medicine-1.info\n\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/\nhttp://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us\nhttp://www.san-diego-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-surgery-doctors.us/
