Any home remidies for zits? Other home remidies???

Here are a few home remedies that you can try.


One is using tea tree oil.


Gently cleanse skin and pat dry.


Then apply a 5 to 15 percent dilution of the tea tree oil to problem areas.(you can purchase a diluted product or dilute your own in jojoba oil).


Repeat twice daily.


One study found that 5 percent tea tree oil preparation worked just as well as 5 percent benzoyl peroxide in treating acne.





The essential oil of lavender is antibacterial,anti-inflammatory and some what astringent,so there fore is good for treating acne.


Dot the lavender oil onto individual blemishes with a cotton swab as needed.


Do this twice daily.





To make your own antibacterial wash


2 teaspoons of chopped dried Oregon grape-root or golden seal root.


Simmer all ingredients for 10 to 15 minutes.Strain and cool,use to wash face or soak a clean cloth and use as a compress.





To make a antibacterial paste


1 teaspoon powdered Oregon grape-root or golden-seal root.


A few drops of water


5 drops of lavender oil


Mix all ingredients.


Apply to pimples.let dry.Rinse or gently wash off.


(Note-Oregon grape-root stains fabric).


I could also recommend a homoeopathic remedy,but I would need to know what is causing the pimples(stress,hormones,and type of pimples).


feel free to email me if you wish.

Toothpaste.Any home remidies for zits? Other home remidies???
Don't do the tothpaste most of them have sugar, a better one is a natural soap with mint from the health food store. Don't use chemical based soaps and potions from the chemist. I would go to the Body Shop and try some products there. But be careful with tea tree oil products (not to use too much) I find natural based products don't dry as much even thought your skin is oily or combination doesn't mean you don't need it. Most commercial products will tell you that. Antibiotics will make it worse and creams and such I know I am also a sufferer but find it hard to give up the things that trigger them like caffeine and sugar and salts. I find a therapist helps (counsellor) someone to talk about problems and relieve stress will help as well.


Drink plenty of water 6 glasses if you are not going to the gym 8 if you are. Don't overwash your skin and do your homework on spf sunscreen and don't pick them ( easier said than done I know)


Hope this helps

some people say toothpaste but i dont no but witch hazle is a great
put some windex on it....
Don't waste your time on the witchhazel. You need plain regular toothpaste. Not the gel kind...it has to be the old fashioned paste. It works overnight if you catch in the beginning. Don't waste your time on the multiple acne meds. None of them really work.
I hear toothpaste works...havn't tired it but it's worth a shot! lol
i tried all remedies for pimple and zits... but i had acne and nothing seem to solve it.. i finally found an herbal product that works.. try http://www.youherbal.com . good luck.
