Anybody have any really good tips or at home remedies that have taken care of acne? I once heard that somebody's grandma told them to do something, but I can't remember what it was. It got rid of her acne for good. Just interested in your tips! Thanks!What's the best advice you've ever gotten to take care of acne?
allot of people say its bad to use soap on your face,and it will not clear acne....
but acne occurs the most on the face and upper back (and least on the other body areas where soap makes contact)....people don't usually put soap on there face, and its quite hard to get a decent wash with soap on your upper back......see a connection???What's the best advice you've ever gotten to take care of acne?
If you have an oily skin wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap.The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. If you have a dry skin honey is a great remedy for acne and pimples because the honey kills bacteria. If you have a combination skin when you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne.

i don't know of any home remedies but i do know that ever since i was 15 ive had really bad acne and I'm now 25 ive used everything u can think of to get rid of it even Proactive and that don't even work for me. until 1 day i found something called Nature's Cure it is great i have no breakouts at all my skin is so clear but if i quit taking it it breaks back out.it is a cream that u apply %26amp; pills u take one in the mourning one at night and it comes in a month supply and its only 9.95$ and u can get it a Walgreen's..or i ordered online at Walgreen's
Wash your face three times a day and don't touch it with your hands! The only acne I have is in an area where I constantly touch my face... I just cant seem to stop touching it - I don't even realize I'm doing it, it sucks.
The best thing I've been told is to take Vitamin's E %26amp; C. Those vitamins help you to have a healthy immune system and are anti-oxidents.

Natural ways to get rid of acne scarring on face?
After 4 years, I've finally found a way to get rid of my acne, but the problem is that I still have the redness and scarring from bad acne. What are ways that you guys have found to get rid of all of the scarring/redness from acne?Natural ways to get rid of acne scarring on face?
The main thing is, it just takes time. Some people think Vitamin E capsules help, but I haven't ever seen results from that.
I would recommend using something with lemon in it: I use a gentle scrub 2-3 times a week, called Modern Friction (you can find it at Origins). It helps with any past damage, like scarring. I also use a serum from there called Modern Fusion. I can automatically see the scars lighter after I put that on. Try www.origins.com
Drinking water helps get rid of acne, as well as eating healthy, so as long as you are putting the right stuff into your body and often, it should help them go away.
By the way, don't get microdermabrasian or anything. It's really harmful and bad for your face as well as expensive. The stuff from Origins I recommended is all natural. They actually call that scrub (Modern Friction) ';nature's alternative to microdermabrasian.'; Good luck! :)Natural ways to get rid of acne scarring on face?
Acne Scar Removal is a complex problem.After an acne lesion has healed, generally you will see a red or hyperpigmented mark
on the skin. This is not a scar; simply the skin goes through its healing and remodeling process, which takes approximately 6-12 months.
Rememeber: only if the color change or skin defect is still present after 1 year you have a real scar.
There are different types of acne scars:Icepick, Rolling,boxcar.
You can see the pictures here:http://www.acne-removal-scar.net/differe鈥?/a>
If your scarring is severe i suggest you to consider scar surgery revision.
The best surgical procedures are:
- Chemical Peel
- Laser
- Exoderm Peel
- Isolagen
- Laser acne treatment
- Microdermabrasion
- Dermabrasion
- Filler
- Scar excision
- Subcision
- Needling

If your acne scar is not severe you can improve your skin
condition with many over the counter products.

Use Vitamin E to Reduce Scars
* Buy vitamin E in oil or capsule form. If you choose capsule form, you will need a sterile pin as well as the capsule, to poke the capsule and expel some of th vitamin E oil.
* Clean the scar or wound area very carefully. Vitamin E is not antibacterial or anti-fungal. If fungus or bacteria is on the area where the scar or wound is located, unless you clean it properly, the vitamin E oil may trap the bacteria and provide fertile breeding grounds for an infection.
* Expel some oil onto a cotton swab. If you use the vitamin E capsule, poke the outer shell of the capsule and squeeze the oil onto the cotton swab. Be careful not to touch the oil directly with your hands, or to spill the oil on clothing or upholstery.
* Dab the vitamin E oil on the scar or wound. Lightly coat the area with the vitamin E oil. Do not rub the oil in; you want to dab carefully.
* Cover the area with a light layer of gauze if you are concerned about the vitamin E oil getting on fabric, in eyes, or on upholstery. Do not use a bandage over the vitamin E oil; this can trap bacteria or fungus as well.
* Keep the vitamin E oil on the scar or wound for at least 4-5 hours before washing the area. Wash the area after 8 hours, to remove trapped bacteria or fungus.
* Apply vitamin E to the scar at least once a day for a few weeks, or until the scar has healed. you may need to apply vitamin E oil for one to two months for best results.
The tanning bed helps with that and scars and stretch marks. I know that tanning isn't really natural but my dermatologist told me to do this very thing. The reason that it helps is b/c it darkens the skin and makes the problem areas less noticeable. Thanks for the thumbs down!!!!! Jamie-
lemon juice is said to work, but i prefer to use lime juice and boiled milk as a cleanser to clear just about anything on my face. i just love that stuff!
Chemical peeling, or laser peeling is the 2 only ways...
I would recommend you to try lemon juice,olive tree oil,or even garlic.hair weave

What cleaners really get rid of acne?
I have used a lot of cleaners in the past and none of them seemed to worked. I do not want to spend a bunch of money though. Does anyone have any luck with get ridding of acne?What cleaners really get rid of acne?
i like Noxzema, but a good skin care routine is to use alcohol rub , then wash face, then lotion and sunscreen!i know acne is a horrible thing and stress, hormones and sweets can make it worseWhat cleaners really get rid of acne?
I would use the clinique acne kit, it has a cleaner, toner an dlotion. Its also tested by dermatologist. I found proactive not for me. I got mild acne, but It made it worse! Not just that it didnt even get rid of my acne. Proactive doesnt work for everybody, I would suggest buying the kit off ebay for cheap and seeing if it works, you can probably get one for like 10.00 bucks. besides enrolling into a program you have to cancel! I like clinique because its not too expensive its like 40.00 dollars for 3 things.
If you can't afford that I would go to the pharmacy side, and usually they have a acne section. All you need is a cleaners, toner, some cotton pads to put it on, and oil controlling lotion. Also I would get some makeup aswell. Look for water-based foundations, powders, and look for word matte, shine-free, oil free, never buy moisture infused or anti ageing it will make your acne break out more and you will get too much oil, clogged pores and break out. You can also look for a blotting tissue for the face to absorb excess oil off your makeup and buy a mattifying makeup base, this helps to get rid of any oil that builds under the foundation and keeps your face and makeup looking fresh. No 7 by boots does excellent and its cheap too. I bought mine for 7.00 dollars. You can find it at shoppers drug mart. Its made in the uk. But aside from all these things you can try. If you have stubborn pimples that won't go. Put some toothpaste on the zits that are big and they will disappear the next day! I used to do this in highschool, trust me it works. It doesn't burn or anything or leave marks.
lol. well hope this helps.
The true answer is NONE OR ALL. Depending.
Fancy commercials set aside. All topicals are the same. the GOLDEN RULE that you must remember is to use WHATEVER product you are using RELIGIOUSLY. As in 2 a day, EVERY DAY. Even 3 times a day is needed.
try proactive and watch your diet try to stay away from greasy food, soda, chocolate ect, eat alot of fruits, vegetables and drink alot of water.
i like biore

How many years till i get acne?
I am 15 years old and i just had my very first period a few weeks ago, so i am a fairly late bloomer. Both of my parents had really bad acne, so im pretty sure im screwed too. Right now, my acne isn't bad at all, just a couple zits around my nose and chin. So my question is, how long till i get the bad acne, or will i get it all?How many years till i get acne?
Well, I'm not a girl and i dont know about what is consider a late bloomer but as a guy i hit puberty early (mid 7th grade) I started to get acne when i was going into 8th grade. I would guess you have about another year. If you dont have it by the end of your freshman year i think its safe to say you wont get acne.How many years till i get acne?
well it depends on how you take care of your skin. if you like to eat a lot of sweets like other girls(and myself) then your likely to get acne. but if you wash your face regularly then you shouldn't get it. heredity can possibly come into effect then you may clear it up by getting medicine to put on it.
if your getting acne it will be when you pms so around like 3-5 days before your period
good luck
mine?
love peace chicken grease:)
I believe acne is not a hereditary trait. It really depends on how clean you keep your face. If you want to play it safe, buy deep pore cleansers to clean out any dirt in your pores.
Most people get acne at about 14-15 but not everyone gets it,if your 15 and don't have it its likely you wont get it.
You might never get acne. Not everyone has gets it. I never had it and I'm 18. I get the occasional pimple but it's never full blown acne. So you might not get it!

How do i keep from getting acne on my forehead?
I have allot of acne on my forehead and i have tried different solutions but nothing seems to work. I also have long hair which covers my forehead which is probably the cause of it but i would really like to keep my long hair. Is there anything i can do without shaving my hair or anything like that?How do i keep from getting acne on my forehead?
There are numerous ways to cure acne. However due to the various causes of acne, what works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Finding there right acne free treatment can be frustrating and especially with so many treatments popping up nowadays only leads to more confusion.
Before we get into the treatment for today, lets look at acne for a little bit. Now acne is caused by over active sebaceous glands. The sebaceous gland is a hormone that produces an oil called sebum to protect he skin. However there are times when the sebaceous gland produce an excess amount of oil. When this occurs, the oil accumulates and get thick and sticky. This thick and sticky oil on the surface of the skin traps dirt and bacteria and clog the pores leading to acne.
The Oil Cleansing Method
What you will need:
Warm Water
Cold Water
Clean Towels
Castor Oil
Olive Oil
The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.
You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.
Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.
Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go.
This only one technique that can be used to get rid of acne.How do i keep from getting acne on my forehead?
You can keep your hair long, but you really need to get it off your forehead. Sorry, but it is the truth. Wash your face with gentle soap and water every night, don't leave makeup on, etc. Try a benzoyl peroxide cream (e.g. oxy lotion) once a day to start, and work up to 2-3 times a day if your skin tolerates it well. If your skin does NOT tolerate it, try salicylic acid because it is better for sensitive skin. Find the product with the LEASE inactive ingredients so that you have less of a chance of being allergic and/or sensitive to something in it.
Good luck! See a dermatologist if that doesn't improve it.
Simple i have long hair too. www.itechfeed.com has a great section on acne full of information and they have products and vitamins nd supplements. I took the pantolic acid SP? vitamin b, and then the PAC treatment they offer . It's similar to pro active but much much much more effective at least for me! hope this helps
Have you tried tea tree oil? It's not a ';normal'; acne medication, but it won't dry out your skin and can prevent breakouts from happening.
But a few simple lifestyle changes can prevent acne totally, you can learn more at http://backacnesecrets.com
