What are some helpful remedies for acne?

[Anonymous]

I don't have the worst skin but I do get some pimples here and there.. And I absolutely hate it. I usually make them look even worse by touching them which I know is not good but I just can't help it.

Does someone know a remedy for this problem or is there anyone who has gone through skin issues and knows what to do? Any advice could help!

Essential oils were my "magic cure." And I had really bad acne. I'd tried nearly every product under the sun, including proactive, and they either didn't work or made it worse. They're a little on the expensive side, but if you mix about twenty drops each of lavender, lemon, and thyme oil with like 4-6 oz of Shea butter and a little Jajoba oil (optional) and apply it on your face at night, it should last you almost a year.

Try a turmeric mask
Turmeric ( Pure Turmeric Powder)
Rice Flour or Chick Pea Flour ( Doesn't have to be Brown rice)
Yogurt or Milk ( For Oily Skin)
Olive Oil, Coconut Oil or Almond Oil ( For Dry Skin)
Honey
-Add Lemon for Brightening Purposes

Ohh sounds great! Do you know if it works?

[HollywoodGlam]

Yes, it does wonders. It also brightens and adds glow to your face.

my recommendation would be to always go to the Dermatologist. I mean yea home remedies in quite a few cases work, but its best to get a doctors opinion on something because he can prescribe a pill than can deal with your acne problems. And its relatively easy to see the Dermatologist too

Retinol
Chemical peels
Oil free moisturizers
Water... 12 glasses a day minimum
Wash twice a day
Aloe
Antibiotics- DR
Don't touch your face
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables..
Exercise
Oxy pads!

I'm doing the home remedy of honey and cinnamon face mask, apple cider vinegar
And I'm using acne free, it's been about two weeks and my acne is slowly going away but I don't know 😑

[Asker]

Ughh.. Sounds so frustrating already. Isn't acne just the worst?

[Thegoodgirl88]

It is, it's so annoying and make you feel self conscious, plus its darn hard to get rid of 😩

I use Epiduo and it works like a charm 👌🏻. Lol though I went ONE freaking night without it and got like three zits. You have to get it from the doctor though.

Hot water on a rag/towel and hold on it for about ten minutes and put rubbing alcohol on it afterwards. Works very fast. Repeat it throughout the day if possible.

I just wash my face before I go to sleep everyday. It seem to work for me lel

[Anonymous]

try proactiv.

[Asker]

That shi is expensive and I've heard it doesn't help and sometimes even makes the skin look much more worse. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
