I am a teen with really oily skin. I’ve been struggling with acne for about a year now. my forehead and chin are the main places i get zits and i want them to be gone. I will accept home remedies, or products but only if you KNOW it works. Thank you so much for your help!

People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.
Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..
There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.
Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.

Ok honey. Calm down. I have oily skin too, all teens do.
What you can do, is this:
Put toothpaste on the zits. It does something, I don’t remember what but I’ve read in an atrical that hit helps.
Do a honey mask. Get some honey and rub around the face or where the breakout is and leave on for 15 minutes. Then take a bath and wash it off.
If hoeny is a little too sticky for you, like it is for me, I use an avacodo mask. I 1 avacodo in a bowl and then rub it on my face. It will dry and then I wash it off. It totally did the works for me. I had like 11 pimples in 1 area and it took most of them away the next morning! I was really happy.
Also, try using baking soda. Wash your face with it, it’s suppose to reomove oil from hair and skin.Or if you want, soak in it your bathrub, but make sure you rub some in. Don’t do this often just like 1-2 times a wekk.
i had breakout problems on my forehead too. i found a natural soap from this website below and its called tea tree soap. it was like 5 dollars for a bar. its affordable and its so easy because all i have to do is wash my face once a day. i got results after a couple days.
