i started using oxy as well as sea salt mixed in with my face wash or just put it on my face scrubby thing and wash my face with the salt worked wonders on my skin and i LOVE IT make sure its sea salt though not regular salt you can get it at the grocery in a big container for a couple of dollars and will last forever
First, I would try this:http://www.acne.org/messageboard/caveman…
It worked for me. It takes a long time but it’s free and it’s good for your skin.
After about a month of doing ^ that, start doing this every once in a while (I do it about once a week but you can do it more often or less often):http://beauty-treatments.suite101.com/ar…
I’m using canola oil right now because that’s what I had already and I didn’t want to go buy more yet. It seems to work fine for me.
If you don’t feel comfortable trying those, try using Collective Wellbeing’s Acne kit. It works very well. You can get it at Whole Foods or online.http://www.collectivewellbeing.com/ http://www.Acne.org is a good place to learn about acne and ask any questions.
I have Eczema, so trying to find products that worked was very difficult.Pure Aloe is a natural astringent and helps with blemishes and sores. So is witch hazel. I use powered milk on my face and that has worked for me. try some of theses natural remedies and see if they work for you!

use a gentle cleanser.. aveeno positively radiant.. and don’t wear too much makeup.. if you absolutely have to.. get clinique products.. drink water.. cut back on sugary food.. and it will do the trick..
ProActive is great and it works the best. Its not that expensive and you can get it anywhere.
This is my skin routine:
Cleanser: Basis….this is just a bar of soap that matches your pH level of your skin….so it wont dry out your face(if you don’t use moisturizer though it will) This cleanser seems simple and it is not meant to fight acne…but in a sense it does…it really cleans your face well without drying out your face…i didnt believe my mom when she recomended it…but man does it work wonders
Toner: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner…really any toner you prefer is ok…but this it the one i use. Start from the top of your face and go towards the temples…aslo with cheeks…go towards the temples…then on chin go in circular motions only(not making it up…this is what you are supposed to do whenever applying anything to your face) This will take off the dead skin and make your pores smaller(helps with the dirt getting in) It also leaves face really smooth and nice looking!!!!
Moisturizer : Sheer Cover Oil Free Moisturizer…again any moisturizer will be good…just as long as it is oil free, made for the face, does not have any acne fighting agents in it. Dot it all over face then apply just like i said with the toner. Moisturizing can really halp fighting the acne. Did you know that dry skin is actually a cause for acne and pimples? The dry skin will actually clog your pores and therefore cause a breakout. Dont listen to people saying you just need to dry your face out…its a lie.
Facial scrub: Oatmeal and Sugar….seriously…this is the BEST scrub i have ever had….just take oatmeal and grind it into a powder and the add Sugar( more Sugar if you want more of a scrub…less if you just want something soothing) then add a little water and make like a paste( not too thick and not too thin) Rub on your face for like 3 minutes then rinse with warm water…put moisturizer on right afterward and your face will feel so refreshed and soft!!!!! Do it about once a week. Dont rub too hard or you will damage face. The oatmeal is for sootheing for face of redness and dry skin. The sugar is for exfoliation.
Steam your face for about5 to 10 minutes a week. Mousturize right after you steam. This will open your pores and get all the dirt and grim out. It also helps with dryness. Dont steam and use the scrub on the same day. It is best to use it on seperate days. Dont ask me why…just figured it out. =)
I suffer a little more from dry skin…but yet it can get oily at times…but with this routine has been great….and now i don’t have a single blemish or patch of dry skin!!!!! It is amazing!!!!! Do this routine( excluding the scrub and steam) twice a day. Your skin will clear up…but in about a week or two your face will break out and that is a good sigh. This is because all of the dirt is getting out of your skin. Just keep with it and it will pay off in the long run…i have great skin right now(used to have horrible skin…i could have seriously been on one of those acne comercials it was so bad…but now i have stuck with this routine and my skin is now soft and smooth!!!!!!!
How to cure a pimple
1. Wash you skin thoroughly and pat it dry with clean towel.
2. Wrap an ice cube in a washcloth and hold it over the spot for a minute or two; it’ll help bring down the swelling.
3. Dip the end of a cotton swab into some diluted tea tree oil (available at any pharmacy, and trust me, this oil was meant for the skin!) and dot a tiny amount directly into the pimple.
4. Leave it alone to heal. Don’t pop, pinch, or squeeze pimples, it will only make it worse. If pimple is still not healing, try using concealer to hide it. Don’t choose concealer darker or lighter than your natural skin tone, or you’ll draw attention to the problem. Here are the steps to using concealer:
~ If the pimple is dry and crusty, apply a little petroleum jelly (like vaseline) first to soften it.
~ Apply the concealer to the pimple using a clean cotton swab. (Don’t apply concealer on areas around the spot that don’t need it or you’ll just create a “halo effect”.)
~ Pat some face powder over the concealer to set it and help it stay put all day long.
