At Home Remedies for Zits?

I'm just curious if anyone has any idea if there's such a thing. And the whole toothpaste thing never works for me so if there are other suggestions I'll take them! Thanks!!!At Home Remedies for Zits?
okay okay!!! i know this works for sure!!! please try it!! okay i have been reading allot of acne and i finally tried sometihng HONEY AND CINNAMON mix them together! but not too much cinnamon! and put the paste on te zits and then sleep on it! in two weeks they will be gone. i have been doing this for about 4 days and i see amazing results already cant wait to see what happens aftre 2 weeks!!!At Home Remedies for Zits?
keep your face clean. try generic cetaphyl from walmart... about four bucks for a bottle. keep your hands off your face... i work in reatail with cash(money). all i have to do is collect cash, tough my face, and i have a breakout...you'd be surprised what you pick up on your hands in the course of a day! don't collect it on your hands, just to put it on your face!
try witch hazel or a low percentage of rubbing alcohol. Many products use the witch hazel as toner, as with the alcohol.
My mom always tells me to mix honey and yogurt and, put on your face.Its like a mask.After you put it on, lie down, and put a towel under your chin and keep your head up because it WILL drip. Leave it on for 5-8 minutes
hazel witch


just use it


it should close your pore and reduce the amount of zits you get
Vitamin A is highly beneficial in the treatment of acne. Therefore, drinking one to two wine glasses of carrot juice per day is extremely helpful. If you have a juicer, mix carrot juice with cabbage, apple, and beetroot juice. All are beneficial to the skin. Zinc is necessary for stored vitamin A in the liver to be released into the blood so if you suffer from acne, take 15 mg of zinc a day and eat pumpkin seeds which are rich in zinc. Evening Primrose oil is another valuable supplement.


Wheatgerm is rich in vitamin E and can help balance hormone production.


You can also make medicinal teas to purify the blood by using herbs such as dandelions, nettles, yellow dock, burdock root, cleavers, oregon grape root, and blue flag. To control the infection of the skin, take herbal antibiotics like purple cone flower and wild indigo.


Hope this helps.

Neosporin. Pop the zit then put Neosporin on it.
Toothpaste leave it on for about an hour then whip clean wash with soap. Toothpaste will dry it out then don't moisturize it for 36 hours.

How to fix blackheads? zits? help?

i have alot of blackheads on the corners of nostrils, between my eyebrows, and alot on my nose and around my lips. the zits are everywhere. alot on my cheeks. and ALL over my nose! most of them are right on my hairline. you cant see them but they are very annoying. i have a big zit under my nose... i heard that under the nose is the most sensitive place to pop a zit, ive only popped it twice, and i had to cry to do it =[ is their any homemade way to fix this acne problem?! ANSWERS QUICKLY! How to fix blackheads? zits? help?
do not pop it! it'll make it worser. PROACTIVE IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN USE! my mom's cousin used it and it make her breakouts and acen even worse!! I would suggest neutrogena since my sister uses it and she has the same problem like you except for the zit in your nose. She uses Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser.How to fix blackheads? zits? help?
For getting rid of blackheads I would advise you to use an exfoliant. A good one is Zenmed's AHA/BHA complex, it works by creating a gentle and effective peel over the skin to remove the blackheads and give you new and fresh skin. The primary ingredients are Purified water, Glycolic acid and BHA which combine together to give a gentle exfoliant. I have used this product and highly recommend it for enlarged pores, blackheads and whiteheads.





For zits, you could try their derma cleanse acne gel. This is also completely herbal and helps to get rid of zits quickly. It also helps to unclog pores and reduce the redness and swelling that some zits appear with.
Okay, I can definitely relate to your problem since I had a problem with acne and all of it's blessings awhile ago. I found that Proactive worked really well on me and it might help for you, but if you don't want to spend fifteen bucks a month for it to be delivered, than I would also say to use some sort of exfoliating facial cleansing stuff. Usually it works after a week of using them but you need to keep up with it even if you aren't breaking out.
they make these little sticker sheets, and all you do is stick them on your face, and leave them on for 5 minutes. after the five minutes you peel them off and off come all the black heads too. you can even see the black heads on the sheet after you rip them off thats how well they really work.. trust me!!
Clean %26amp;%26amp; Clear has this new amazing product called the blackhead eraser. It gets rid of them in like three days. %26amp;%26amp; for the pimples i recommend using neutrogena oil free acne wash. It could dry ur skin so just use a good moisturizer. But i love the oil-free acne wash. It gets rid of pimples in like three days.
OMG, I used to have the same exact thing!


I got this stuff called Clean%26amp;Clean Deep Action (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21鈥?/a> ) at WalMart, and my skin was all cleared up in like 2 days.


Plus, its not expensive (Im not sure exactly how much, but about $4).





Good Luck :]
acnezine works very great for acne and blackheads. it works very fast and very effective. it is also all natural so no worries for ide effects. try it. you can find it here http://www.acnezine.com/?aid=83037
wow,wendy is a beeitch. try using merle norman products, or dead sea minerals. proactive MIGHT work for you, depends on your skin. it doesnt work for me anymore so i had to send it back,
k, uhmmm fer the blackheads you can either use the clean and clear blackhead scrub, or the blackhead eraser.
ooouuu wendy L's not disgusting. just try and wash everyday with some sort of spot remover and avoid touching face with dirty hands.

How can u looose zits in 2 days??

????????????????????????????????????????鈥?HELP!!!!How can u looose zits in 2 days??
wash your face.


and supposedly putting a little visine drop on it will get the red out, though may not make it completely go away.


But what I do when I need it gone soon is put a little toothpaste on it before I go to bed, it dries it up, and in a couple days it's gone.


These ideas sound crazy, but they work for me.


(:How can u looose zits in 2 days??
just squeeze ur pimple or go to the speacialist.
i use Neutrogena Deep Pore treatment.





wash your face, put it on overnight and wash your face in the morning. it worked wonders for me
u can get rid of them in just 8 hours. go to boots or superdrug, and find oxy`s emergency zit blitzer. it kills the spot in 4 hours,but just use it twice.. just in case
Pop the zit. Wash it right after with an astringent. (to stop spreading)





Then take an aspirin and crush it up and put it into something small. Like say, a cap from a water bottle. And put a TINY bit of water to make a paste. Then apply it to your popped zit.





I do this all the time and it works reeeeally well. I swear!! It will be gone in no time.
Use some acne cream like neutrogena 8 hour spot gel treatment.. It does not make the pimple go away but usually takes away a little redness and just keep putting acne cream on it and do not overwash your face. And put on makeup on the 3rd day or whenever the day is that you are trying to lose them by. The toothpaste trick does reduce size to.
Well what i do is i use Clean and Clear it works really good and it makes them look a whole lot better in ONE day !!! GOOD LUCK!

Does this help heal zits?...see more please?

I heard that salt helps heal zits? And makes them go away..or reduces them..They said ';You know how salt heals wounds? Well it's the same with zits';


Is this true?Does this help heal zits?...see more please?
i havent heard that one. but i have heard lemon/lime juice helps.Does this help heal zits?...see more please?
Im not sure about that but toothpaste works great!
Yes, but dont put too much.. It causes ';scars'; when you apply too much. You know how drinking lemonade makes you thristy. It's the same thing. It drys it up and disappears.
Yes but I think they mean the salt water in the ocean? That used to work in the old days. Try the tea tree oil.
the reason salt and toothpaste both work is because they are both disinfectants.





zits are small infections of the skin pores, caused by dirt and bacteria, and hormonal skin oil production fluctuations.





I suggest washing your face and hands regularly, esp after toilet, and try not to touch your face (your hands pick up bacteria from everything you touch) or clog your skin pores with cosmetics
yes, but sea salt is the key.

    popShould u pop the zits on your face if they are ripe or should u leave it alone?
    Take it from someone who has dealt with acne for the past 14 years, do not pop them. I know it is so tempting, but do not do it. I am 26 and I still have breakouts every once in a while, but when I was a teen I had acne pretty bad. I used to pop them all the time. Now I have little red marks all over my face that are scars from popping pimples. It's not worth it. I now use Proactive and I love it. Maybe you could try that. If that doesn't help then go to a dermatologist. I have been on several different prescribed treatments that worked will such as Differin and Retin A. Good luck.
    dont pop it put medicine on it





    i made my own medicine





    hydrogen peroxide


    baking soda


    water


    Guakamole





    sounds weird but works!
    leave 'em alone. you'll get scartches all over your face if you pop 'em.
    Try looking here for best practices on Acne care.

    Pop it so the dirt n gunk get out, but if you squeeze too hard n it starts to bleed you run the risk of scarring. After it has been ';popped'; ad some zitzpper of some kind and then LEAVE IT ALONE! People don't realize how much oil/dirt we have on our hands, which will make it worse. A diet with low grease intake will also help clear things up. Good luck!
    OK!


    Sounds good, time to pop, eh?


    This would be a good method:





    Take a warm shower or bath to soften your skin.


    Wash your face and remove all makeup.


    Wash your hands to prevent spreading germs and infecting the pimple.


    Sterilize a needle...(a dirty needle will cause an infection and maybe a bigger pimple).


    Gently prick the tip of the pimple with the needle.


    Take a clean tissue or piece of toilet paper and wrap it around your index fingers.


    Gently apply pressure to the sides of the pimple to ease out the pus. Stop when blood or clear fluid comes out.

    Please help me i have a huge red zit on my nose?

    put a little bit of original toothpaste on it with no extra whitening or anything. and it will dry the zit up and make it easier to pop. you should leave it on for 20 minutes. and then try to pop it. then after its popped apply some lotion. hope this helps.Please help me i have a huge red zit on my nose?

    How do i get rid of a zit?

    I try ed creams and wipes it doesnt work so what do i use?How do i get rid of a zit?
    Wash your face a lot, use creams daily





    Here's a trick that works a lot of the time:





    Before you go to bed, slather a little toothpaste onto the zit and sleep with it on





    Usually the zit will be gone in the morningHow do i get rid of a zit?
    well for temporary, put on makeup to cover it up. if you have tried creams and wipes, keep trying them but also use proactive (worked miracles on my cousin she swears by it) and wash your face well everyday. also try and stay away from a lot of greasy food, which we learned can impact your acne.
    Use some any kind of oily oitment used for cuts or rashes. but first clean it out really good with hot water becuase hot water opens your pores. Then clean with your usually face wash(scrub good!). rinse off with cold water. Then But toner(if you have). Wipe with alchole on zit cotton ball or paper towel. Then put oitment on like neosporin or something.





    OH and make sure your zit is popped before doing this
    put tea tree oil on it. make sure you rub it in well but after you do that it goes away in 2 days and takes away the pain.you can get it at krogers in the organic food section.
    pop it!
    with a cheese grater
    ur fingers, Pop it

    How do YOU get rid of a zit FAST?!?

    Do you have any home made remedies or quick tricks?How do YOU get rid of a zit FAST?!?
    before bed put a giant glob of toothpaste on the zit. It will dry that thing out over night and be almost gone by morning. I use clean and clear stuff, but toothpaste does the same thing. Don't pop it, it will make it redder, more inflamed, and it will scar.How do YOU get rid of a zit FAST?!?
    omg, I was about to ask the same question!! But u beat me to it. lol.
    Pop it. My Clinique makeup does a fine job of drying them up too.
    There is this stuff called zovarax. It works great but like every good thing it has a downside. To actually get rid of the pimple it peels your skin away so were you apply the medicine is peely for a day or 2 after.
    proactive or wash your face
    take a bottle of liquid cover up and smear it on your face, :)
    Heat. BY applying a hot towel to sitting in a sauna/steam room will open the pours more so the puss will be able to come to the surface.
    a palm sander..just kidding. Try popping it then putting tea tree oil on it, it has natural antibiotics in it that help it heal pretty fast. It smells strong when you put it on but as it dries doesn't smell at all.
    Latley i have been going in a Sauna and my skin has been looking a lot beter!


    Wash your face a at least 1 a day


    Drink lost of water


    and eat your fruits and veggies!





    BUT a zit i normally just pop(it is bad and hurts a little but it gets rid of it) try going in a shower though, the steam opens it up and help it pop
    Pop it =]
    pop it (make sure you get the root..so it doesnt come back tomorrow) ... clean ur face...then put toothpaste on it....ancient chinese secret!
    squeeze it and pop it
    MY GRAND MOTHER USED TELL ME USE WINDEX I THOUGHT IT WAS WIERD BUT IT WORKED
    there are some that are really effective that can be bought at CVS
    Pop it. There is no ';fast'; way to get rid of one. You just have to hop it goes away fast.
    Use regular tooth paste. Or try Persa Gel. Either will work.
    An exacto knife
    pop it quick! and then put some of that stuff on it.. in a brown botttle... kind of like rubbing alcohol... I think they use it on your ears too... this helps you to not scar.
    the cause is is mostly food related

    What do guys think of pimples on girls... like not hectic acne but a couple of zits here n there?

    my idealistic answer would be, i have a few, so why can't she? but really, all people notice it and it's preferable to not have them. It's not a turn off, but a completely clear and radiant face is a turn onWhat do guys think of pimples on girls... like not hectic acne but a couple of zits here n there?
    Treat them with an alcohol wipe, like stridex, it'll keep them from growing much. I never noticed zits much, I was more interested in the girl.What do guys think of pimples on girls... like not hectic acne but a couple of zits here n there?
    Oh so what really. A few wont hinder our attraction to you if youre good looking.
    zits happen to most everyone at one time or another, So I dont think its a big deal.
    Acne happens and men tend to notice the embarrasment of it (and the attempts to hide it) more than that actual zit.





    Simply act confident and no one will care about acne as we all get it.
    shouldn't be a problem with the guys as they usually have more than the girls=right
    most people over look those things, everyone has flaws.

    Benzol Peroxide cream from the chemists
    put some normal toothpaste on it. Not the gel kind. It'll be gone in like two hours.
    Might sound funny but I have been doing this for years and told many people but Vicks really works...Just put a little amount on the spot and it will work in like 2 days
    Drink lots of water and go to bed early. Day and night, apply Rapidly Clear by Neutrogena, from their Visibly Clear Range. It works within about 48 hours, it's great!





    (I'm intruiged by this toothpaste idea - does it really work?!)
    toothpaste, put it right on the zit. It dries it out
    pop it :)
    I've heard that if you put visine (eye drops) on a cotton ball and hold it on the zit for a few seconds it will reduce the redness. For long term control, I would try Proactive.
    Dr. Murad鈥檚 Acne Complex





    All over the world so much research has been done to curb acne because it makes beautiful faces ugly and full of black prominent spots. Very many researches have been conducted and a few have tasted success. One of them is Acne Complex.





    Before getting into the details of Acne Complex, we need to know more about acne.


    Acne is a skin disorder that usually happens when a person is in the teens. During that particular period of life, in both male and female bodies, Androgen, a male sex hormone, increases. This increase of Androgen does not necessarily happen in everybodys body. But in whosever鈥檚 body this increase happens, it causes overproduction of sebum and keratin. This results in clogged pores of the skin and infection. This is called acne. In the case of acne the hormones can create acne beyond teenage years. Especially among women this trend is seen.





    Dr. Murad鈥檚 Acne Complex says that 3 simple steps, 2 times a day can reduce and clear your skin in 4 weeks. Seeing the popularity of Acne Complex one can understand that Acne Complex is certainly effective.





    In the Acne Complex kit there are 3 items. A Clarifying Cleanser, an Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel and a Skin Perfecting Lotion. The direction of use is given in the Acne Complex kit. Otherwise you can learn it on the website of Acne Complex. You can even order Acne Complex from their website too.

    How to get rid of a terrible zit!?

    I have a HUGE zit and it hurts to touch it! its one of those deep ones that is red and tender all around the whole area. Its right on my cheek where if I smile it hurts too :[





    Is there any at home remedies that anyone knows of that would help speed up the healing process (Ive heard honey does something for zits?)





    Please Help!


    Thanks :]How to get rid of a terrible zit!?
    ok I'm sorry, but whyy do people always ask for homemade stuff?





    go to the store and pick up acne stuff. wash your face.





    maybe use clean and clear invisible gel?





    idk, but throwing toothpaste or honey on it is not going to fix it.





    people always use toothpaste, but it only drys out the area, it doesnt really get rid of the zit.How to get rid of a terrible zit!?
    i noe exactly wut you are talking about that is called a cyst pimple and i have them on my chin all the time. since the pimple is at the bottom of your skin still you cant really do much about that but get a hot compress or hot towel and put it on the cyst for 15 minutes 3 times a day nad that will really speed up the healing process, whatever you do don't try to pop it cause it is still too deep down fro you to actually get to it, all you can do it put the hot compress on until you see the head of the pimple and then you can put on those spot treatments so it will do away, i noe it isn't good to pop it but i always pop it i just feel so satisfied when its finally gone, but i don't recommend that lol


    hope that helped
    Honey and cinnamon is AWESOME%26lt;3. You see results the first time you use it!


    Do this before going to bed:


    1. Mix a little bit of honey and cinnamon together.


    2. Apply to the affected area


    3. Go to sleep


    4. Wash it off in the morning


    Then you're done ;D !
    You could take an ibuprofen for the pain, and possibly ice it to keep down swelling, but there really isn't much you can do with that kind of zit but to wait it out! Sorry.
    You can try this. Crush 1 to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/

    please help, they are red dots, pimples. kinda like zits. their really ugly. dont know what its from. can someone please tell me what its from and how we can get rid of them


    thanksRed dots on legs. kind of like pimples or zits?
    Well they can be numerous things. If they are raised and small and kind of pussy it could be razor burn. Have you used a different shaving cream lately? If they're large it can be anything from staff infection to leprosy or hives. If they have puss you need to seek immediate medical attention, because you could have staff infection.





    Have you been outside recently? It could also be poison ivy. If it doesnt have puss and doesnt respond to an anti-itch/anti- poison oak/ivy cream, then you probably need to go to the doctor. Whatever you do, first rinse off your legs to make sure its not an allergic reaction to a new product.Red dots on legs. kind of like pimples or zits?
    they could be ingrown hairs or razor burn or an allergic reaction also sweat bumps from wearing clothes.





    i get em too, nothing to worry about.
    Possibly, ingrown hairs. If so, just gently scratch hair out with fingernail.

    You know how you're told to not pop zits...?

    ...because they'll leave scars, take longer to heal, etc. etc.? Well I find that when I pop them they take less time to heal and never leave scars. Anyone else?You know how you're told to not pop zits...?
    As long as you clean them out your right it wont.. however if you do get infected it will leave a scar. Throughly clean your hands, fingernails and face before you do it and it should be okay.You know how you're told to not pop zits...?
    yeah i noticed the same thing. if you dont pop them then they just look gross.lol
    By popping them you increase the chance of bacteria entering. Take an asprin, crush it up, add a little water to make a paste, apply to pimple; this will dry out the pimple without damaging the skin.
    i agree!!
    well listen to me .... i popped my zit 5 times and they where gone ... without any scars and all .. i think it depends on Ur genes .. whether it will go when its popped or not


    but the best way is to leave Ur zits .. and it will go by itself


    don't worry about what people say ...
    It depends on the size and depth of the white head or ';Zit.';

    Benzoyl Peroxide sometimes can make a diff in like 8 hours. It's very drying, and most likely overnite it will help lessen / relieve swelling %26amp; redness. For some reason over the counter it's available in 5% %26amp; 10%, whereas to get the less radical drying 2.5% you have to get a script. It's a good thing to use regularly if you have acne %26amp; you can get your Dr to give you the 2.5%. Use an oil free moisturizer. Constant use of the 5 %26amp; 10%'s will leave you with too dry skin.. Another trick for redness, -eye drops like visine or clear eyes.
    no
    pro-active
    Put a bit of toothpaste on it and leave it for a while it will dry the zit and make it less noticeable. Afterwards wash it off and cover it with concealer. Should work for you. :) Good luck.
    Well. the obvious way... is to pop it. but it'll leave a scar. so you litterralllyy have not much of a choice. you should cover it with make-up. or put a band-aid on it? orr. use clean %26amp; clear. Hope this helps. byee%26lt;3

    well, if you said yourself that your getting zits on your face due to razor bumps and shaving, then you should look at what you're doing. Shaving should always be with the grain and not against, shaving against it does give you a closer shave, but your also shaving your hair below you skin level, thus creating an issue for ingrown hairs. Also you need to exfoliate the area a few times a week to ensure that dead skin cells aren't clogging your pores which allows hairs to grow back smoothly and not ingrown. To prevent razor bumps, pour alcohol onto the razor blades every time after use and allow to air dry, this prevents any bacteria to harbor on the blades. don't push down so hard on your faces, and refrain from shaving the same area more than once. A not extremely smooth face is a lot better than a face with razor bumps and ingrowns.
    proactive sucks;


    use skin ID.


    take the skin evaluation.


    it really works. :]

    I recommend you to try Murad for acne. do some research cause i tried so many product that didnt work. Murad for acne is the one that works for me
    Check out www.BeautyMayhem.com, there is a section there that go's over acne. I think it might be of some help
    look dude what im about to tell u is like a total life saver and it WORKS. It get's rid of acne. Did u hear that ppl. THIS WILL MAKE YOUR PIMPLE GO AWAY. Go to the store and buy a coconut. When u bring it home punch three small holes in it and drain out the water. Some bark pieces will come out into the water, dont worry about that. When you have drained out all the water. Strain it with a strainer so there is no bark in the coconut water. DRINK THIS WATER. It has to be fresh from the coconut. And even put some on your face where the pimples are. You must drink this before you go to bed. Do all of this before you go to bed. After you drink the water. Crack open the coconut. (it will be hard to skin it) if you cannot skin it just eat it off the bark with your teeth. you will have to chew a lot. Chew it all up. And eat PLENTY of the coconut. I mean eat as much of it as you can. It has so much fiber in it. When you go to the bathroom you will even see pieces of it from when you chew it up floating in the bowl. But i digress, eat it man. Eat it this will clear up your pimples like i don't know what!!!! i use it and it WORKS. Also some grapefruit will do the trick and the grapefruit juice. But i have seen better results from the coconut. A very underrated fruit. This baby cured my pimples like no other. Guaranteed clearer skin!!!!!

    I need to get rid of a zit by tonight?

    Tonight is my school dance. I already picked out a great outfit (distressed jeans, flowy spaghetti strap top with a tank under it) and i'm all ready to go.. untill I spot a huge zit on the back of my shoulder.





    Is there any possible way to hide it or get rid of it?I need to get rid of a zit by tonight?
    Pop that sucker!I need to get rid of a zit by tonight?
    Pop it and then cover it with makeup
    There's no way in hell you're getting rid of it by tonight... but you can just use cover up to make it look like nothing is there.
    apply make up


    but first pop it and apply make up on it
    It's not a manly solution, but it works, i've tried it. Use cover-up, (borrow some from your mom) and put it over the zit. This should work.
    i dont think u should pop it it will make it more noticible. just try a little bit of cover up.
    Put some toothpaste on it until about an hour before you leave for the dance; and then wash the toothpaste off and pop it. Then put some cover up on it and it'll be barely noticable. It works for me~! =D





    Good luck and have fun!
    whatever you do dont pop it!! it just spreads more bacteria and can leave you a scar. maybe itll help if u put a dab of toothpaste on it stress usually causes zits by da way!!=)

    How do I get rid of a zit overnight?

    I have a zit on my cheek that I want to get rid of before school tomorrow. Is there anything that I could find around my house that would work? Like something in the refrigerator? Thanks!!!How do I get rid of a zit overnight?
    yeah most people put tooth paste on it before they go to bed. But if u also mix up salt with warm watter then put it on the zit(wait for it to tingle) then put toothpaste on it. it will work ALOT fasterr .How do I get rid of a zit overnight?
    it is funny, i asked this question as well as recieving the same response. im a young teen at the age of thirteen with a slight case of acne. the toothpaste wasnt right for me. although it did try the blemish it was red and eritated in the morning, and it did have a scabing feeling wich im perfectly fine with. but it came back. i use proactive wich everyone with acne should try. so far i have used probably one hundred different treatments but they all eritated my face except proactive. I only use the face mask. but anyways there is really no treatment to rid zits overnight, but i have done things that may hurt in the long run which is poping them. the easiest thing to get rid the quickest is to really pop that sucker until u see blood coming out. for like ten minutes hold tissue or toilet paper to that area with pressure. that way it does not scab up. thats what i did when i was in japan with my family. it was so humid that i broke out. and it worked. if u want i would put a dab of a girls cover up. hahah if u want..... thats a suggestion i hurd in case if it is a tad red.
    Give toothpaste a try. If it doesn't work and you still have zit in the morning you can put Visine on it to reduce the redness.
    toothpaste...no joke
    I usually try to dry out zits the best I can. So I usually put rubbing alcohol on it, let it dry, then put toothpaste on it. Leave it all on it overnight.
    Toothpaste, Non- whitening with baking soda.


    Dab a little on before you go to bed and it should be gone.


    Hope this helps


    Cheers
    My friend put tooth paste on hers, and left it on over night, washed in the morning, apparently it worked. I've never tried it, but good luck

    -drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day)


    -eat your fruits and veggies!


    -exercise (make sure you wash your face after though :))


    -do not pick/touch/rub your face


    -limit your sugar intake


    -reduce the amount of stress in your life


    There are also masks made of oatmeal, honey, rosewater and other household products that make great masks! Try googling these items and there should be masks that you can make.


    By following these guidelines, you are on your way to healthier skin!








    Good Luck!

    It was huge and red and really sore. But, I got most of the gross stuff (the pus/ the infection) out but now there is just kind of a scab there with a lot of dry skin around it. It's still a little sore as well. Is there some way to get this awful ';crater'; to look any better by tomorrow afternoon (Saturday)?How to get rid of a massive zit? I have a bump on my chin...?
    Tea Tree oil. get it at Walgreen. dab just tiny bit on with a quetip.

    well since you already got some of the puss out, there is no need for tooth paste. but since its a dry scab type thing now, i would wash it with a moisterizing clenser then put vasilen on it.
    To cover that pesky zit, apply a small blob of concealer on the area, let it dry for a few minutes and then fan out the edges with your fingers or a makeup sponge. Dust on a smidgen of loose powder to set.





    P.S. Don't pick! A zit that's left alone should disappear in 24 hours with a little help from a cream containing benzoyl peroxide. But a picked pimple can take three days to heal! If you've already done the deed, try this quick fix: Before bed, rub a dab of Neosporin--to prevent infections--on the area using a cotton swab. Now take a Band-Aid and place it over the top. In the morning, peel off the bandage and you'll look much better.
    I've used hydrogen peroxide and then I put a triple antibiotic cream on it like neosporin.
    This works! Go to Walgreens or your nearest pharmacy or beauty supply store and pick up the Mint Julep Masque by Queen Helene. Whenever you get a pimple put that on there and let it dry overnight. By the morning it will be almost gone.
    Well, I don't know how you'd get rid of it that quick,but my dad always tells me to put alittle alcohal on it to dry it up. Also, I have acne but I keep it down by using a face med called Benzaclin or something like that it works really good. Good Luck!
    dab sum mint fluride tooth paste onto it, the paste helps eliminat the red and is also an anti bacterial, mint cools the soreness too. good luck
    By tomorrow afternoon? ha, rub a lamp! I know what happens when you bust a zit like that. You can't keep your hands off of it and now it looks gross, right? If you have a drying agent, such as zit medicine of some kind, clean the area real well with soap and water and then alcohol, put the medicine on it and cover it with a bandaid. If you're self concious about the bandaid try to find the clear ones. The point is not to touch it or agravate it more. Tomorrow it will look better and you may be able to cover it with makeup.

    Do yall worrie so much abot getting pimples and zits on yalls faces. why?

    no i realy dont worry abou pimples and when i get em i relay dont worry they cover fine under my foundation and i use extra cleaning products to reduce them and that oneDo yall worrie so much abot getting pimples and zits on yalls faces. why?
    pimples can affect your self esteem, cuz youre always wondering ';how do I look, how do i look?';

    How come sometimes when I pop a zit and squish it around it has a little curly hair in it?

    cause it's not a zit then. It's just a hair that had trouble breaking the skin on it's own (ingrown hair)How come sometimes when I pop a zit and squish it around it has a little curly hair in it?
    When you popped your zit, did the pus hit the mirror?


    My hubby did that the other day and was so proud, but I was just grossed out and asked him to wipe it off with loo paper.How come sometimes when I pop a zit and squish it around it has a little curly hair in it?
    Zits are often caused by hardened/infected hair follicles. Therefore when you squeeze it out, it will take the hair with it.
    because it was an ingrown hair masquerading as a zit
    That's a parasite.
    It wasn't a zit it was an ingrown hair that got infected.





    Gross
    That's nice now put a band-aid on it, run along and go play.

    Clinque or Neutragena?? Which one should I use for zits??

    Neutragena...thats what i use and it does wonders. It was the week of school photos and i had a huge zit. i used Neutragena and it was gone in about 2 days!Clinque or Neutragena?? Which one should I use for zits??
    I am huge fan of Neutragena. Their products have always done wonders for my skin.





    However, I've heard that Proactiv is GREAT!Clinque or Neutragena?? Which one should I use for zits??
    Personally, I've never used either, but I have used Vichy's Normaderm range and it does work wonders, especially when you're no longer a teen and you still have zits (they have a special range for us lot too!) The trick, however, is to try a variety of samples and see which one works best for you - each skin is different and responds differently to different products. With time, you'll also tune yourself to how often you should use products, and sometimes even how to combine use of different products from different brands!





    Good luck! :)
    i love clinque..it works great ! i used to have alot of acne but clinque solved my problem. i totally recommend it !
    neutragena
    I'm not familiar w/the results from either brand; but I do know of a brand that works very well called Aularale Cosmetics. Their products are made from aloe vera and work very well for me. Email me at nesa23us@yahoo.com if you'd like more info.
    neutr0qena.. try their Advance s0luti0ns acne therapy kit.. its a 3 step system and it`Sz n a white and 0ranqe b0x.. i use it and my face is CLEAR!! =)~ *but when the time 0f the m0nth hits i qet pimples and that i cann0t c0ntr0l* but when it`Sz q0ne my face clears up aqain
    Clinique! I highly reccomend using clinique if you have acne or if you just want to maintain a beautiful complexion clinique is great i really love the acne soultions!! Hope this helps
    Clinque worked for me. It took about 2 months but i have no more zits. I now use it every day. But i ran out. It has a three bottle thing like pro-active. It works
    I'm a 40 year old female and I've tried Neutrogena, Clinique and almost every product you can buy from high dollar stores like Macy's to products at Walmart and I FINALLY found something that works, FAST. I use the Bijore warming anti-blackhead cleanser then follow-up with the Bijore pore unclogging scrub. The warming product opens up your pores and cleans, then the pore unclogging product ';gets inside'; the pores to remove excess oil and dirt. Please don't waste your time and money on those expensive products! Bijore can be found at Walmart for about $6 each. Good luck to you :)
    Between the two of them there is really no comparison because Neutragena is very specified to acne problems, zits etc and it does work. I have tried about a zillion brands of cosmetics in my life and for what you describe Neutragena is the best. Whatever you do good luck!

    Solution for oily skin? Blackheads? Shiny Face? Huge Pores? & Zits/Pimples?

    Wash your face with face wash containing salicyclic acid such as Neutrogena Ance Fading Peel, St. Ives Scrub, Aveeno, etc. Your face will probably feel dry after the wash so remember to put on either moisturizer or lotion (make sure there is no oil in them).Solution for oily skin? Blackheads? Shiny Face? Huge Pores? %26amp; Zits/Pimples?
    So what you pretty much described here is Acne. I have it too and have just found someting that works amazingly. It's called Cetaphil you can find it anywhere. I used to the worst breakouts ever and I have very oily skin. This takes care of it. It's not something you have to use everyday but it sure does help if you do.Solution for oily skin? Blackheads? Shiny Face? Huge Pores? %26amp; Zits/Pimples?
    Drink only spring water and fruit juices. Get an hours exercise per day. Use a very mild facial wash, toner and moisturizer clean %26amp; clear works well. Eat lots of a fresh fruit and vegetables, also if you notice you break out after eating certain foods stop eating that particular food
    Wash your face periodically.


    Try not to touch your face.


    Skin medicine you buy in a pharmacy such as CVS.


    Go see a dermatologist-If needed!*


    Drink 8 glasses of water a day!!

  • Do guys notice zits or other ';different'; facial features??

    Just wondering, my friend has these really bad breakouts almost all the time, and she won't talk to guys becuz she is always worried about a zit or whitehead or something. But she is a really cute girl. Do u have any advice or reccomendations?Do guys notice zits or other ';different'; facial features??
    She should talk to guys and open herself up; I'm sure that if she does, she'll find a guy who can see past her outer appearance. (Hey, come on, we're not all that bad!) ^_^Do guys notice zits or other ';different'; facial features??
    hell yes we do
    Ask your friend if shes tried Proactiv... i hear its great!
    Proactive. My ex-best bud had horrible..... really horrible acne. and it completely cleared up his face.





    Yes, guys do notice the facial features. They don't mention it though.
    I notice those things but I don't really care. U should tell your friend not to worry so much because when someone starts to worry that's when I notice. Tell her to open up.
    If a guy is into her, he won't care if she has a big zit on her face. He might notice it, but he won't care. Good rule of thumb with guys, if he makes fun of your zits, dump him. But for the zit problem, is she currently using any facial products? If not, try a deep cleaning facial wash, and a facial scrub to get dead skin off and clear up pores. Then try a moisturizer that is oil-free to prevent excess oil build-up. It might also be her makeup, switch to oil-free makeup. Also, do not wear a lot of makeup for a long period of time. If she uses facial products and none of them work, see a dermatologist, and he/she can perscribe an stronger acne treatment.
    We do pay attention about facial features.


    how much make up and zits.


    How a woman would look like without make up.


    etc.
    i don't know about that proactiv because i have bad acne too so i started to use proactiv and it made my skin reallu red and itchy i thought i had sunburn but it turned out it was the proactiv.and i wasnt allergic to it either so that was not the case.My boyfriend tells me thathe really doesn't care about that because he says im pretty and plus t's the personality that counts.
    yes. and they always have to make jokes out of it. but it's cool, just laugh with them

    Pimples, Acne, and Zits....?

    i read in a magazine that if i apply sunscreen every 2 hours or so, i'll get clearer skin b4 school starts. and clear skin is something i MUST have b4 fall. does anyone have tips on how i can reduce the redness caused by pimples and the blackheads i have? i also have a party coming up soon, so if i could get answers asap, it would be great. thnx.Pimples, Acne, and Zits....?
    wash your face with soap and water every night to get all oils and grease off your face....when you take a shower also wash your face..that is the best i can give you...but it has always worked for me...good luck....unless you want to go out and buy some expensive acne medicationPimples, Acne, and Zits....?
    I have tried sunscreen and it didn't really work. But then I got Proactive(you can order from the website) %26amp;%26amp; Clean %26amp; Clear(can get it at any drug store like CVS). Those got rid of everything and I don't have any pimples, acne or zits.
    There's a brand of skincare called Philosophy. I'll provide a link for you. It's REALLY good. As for an immediate pimple, toothepaste works, like the other person said.





    However, you want to PREVENT pimples and keep your skin looking beautiful.
    tooth past over nite make sure its white on the gel type
    Using a face mask that is supposed to help with acne might be affective... if you have sensitve skin I would avoid alchohol. To reduce redness try using just plain old ice... it sounds stupid but it should help acne the same way it helps a sprained ankle. I'm not really sure about the sunscreen tip, but if you try it I'd use an oil free type...
    i use proactiv and it is amazing! it has sunscreen in one of the steps to protect ur skin. it also has repairing form scars from zits and it reduces the pimples pretty quicky if u folow instructions. iget it at a stand every couple months thats in the mall where i live...hope this helps!
    Hi





    You can apply cold cream at night and a fairness cream (sunscreen) in morning. May be in two weeks you will see good results. For further details visit my site





    http://www.acne-elimination.com
    This can be a huge problem, and I know this personally because I had this problem for so many years. If you have acne that doesn't seem to go away no matter how much medicine you apply, I HIGHLY suggest visiting a dermatologist. Even if your acne isn't that bad, they have extraordinary medicines that will just eat away at your acne (ahah that sounded gross) and make it go away. They might give you either pills, facewash, topical cream, or a couple of those choices to use together.
    OH MY!

    you should go to a doctor or dermotologist... dont do proactiv or any face washes made to get rid of them bc. they dont.

    My dog is a 4 month old Lhasapoo and i found a little zit-like bump near his armpit.?

    It definately looks like it is a zit (like puss filled...) If it was flesh colored, i would be afraid it was a tumor... but if it was on my body, i would think it was a big gross zit. The vet is closed today, so i am worried sick! What is it?My dog is a 4 month old Lhasapoo and i found a little zit-like bump near his armpit.?
    It could be a tick, maybe a flea, an insect bite or sting, or even a natural mole, wart, pimple, or other growth - dogs get them too you know and all are completely non-lethal.


    Stop worrying so much over such little things.


    Be cool. Make an appointment for your dog and prepare to be relieved when the Vet tells you it was really nothing to worry about.My dog is a 4 month old Lhasapoo and i found a little zit-like bump near his armpit.?

    Best why to get rid of sores from zits? ?

    how can i get rid of sores from zits and normal zits FAST i cant buy supplies and i also need to know a way 2 stop picking @ my zits.....Best why to get rid of sores from zits? ?
    If you've picked a pimple and have a little scab instead of a pimple now, but cocoa butter on it. (this will only work if the pimple itself is GONE, and it's now just a sore) Glob cocoa butter on there and try and keep the scab as moisturised as possible.. it will fade within a few days. If you don't have cocoa butter I've heard olive oil also works, but I personally haven't tried it so I can't tell you for sure. As for picking pimples, make sure you keep your nails short (short nails do less damage than long ones) and don't spend tons of time scrutinizing your skin in the mirror. When you feel the urge to pick, go do something else immediately.





    To get rid of existing pimples, mix baking soda with water to form a paste, and apply that several times a day (as it dries it will start to flake off, so just apply more)Best why to get rid of sores from zits? ?
    Get a large pot filled with really really hot water. Place your face as close to the steaming water as you can without burning with a towel over your head. Stay under the towel as long as you can, do this several times and it will cleanse your face. Next remember to wash with a scrub or soap and water daily. This should fathom clearer skin. However for quicker, more noticeable results, you really should visit your doctor to get some medicated products. Best of luck

    I need to do the best I can to get rid of a zit before tonight!?

    It doesn't have to be gone completly, just shrinking it would help any sugestions?I need to do the best I can to get rid of a zit before tonight!?
    use toothpaste it will dry it up and shrink it.I need to do the best I can to get rid of a zit before tonight!?
    You could put toothpaste on it before you go to bed and wash it off the next morning. It won't make it disappear but it will shrink it.
    Try to exfoliate your skin with either a cream or a scrub .. massage your face.. then wrap a warm/wet towel around your face.(your skin will be sooo smooth) then apply any brand of zit cream let it sit.. and it should be ok. Also a little secret that has always worked for me .. put some regular tooth paste on the zit.. it will dry it out!! lol it sounds wierd but it works! it might be a little red so get a good cover up stick!
    whenever i have one that i need to get rid of quickly i put vaseline on it, someone told me about it and i thought it would just make my skin more oily but it dried my zit right up really quickly! hope this helps ya...
    1. Wash your face with your usual cleanser. And massage the cleanser into the zit GENTLY to try to persuade the crap to come out, at least a little.


    2. If you have toner (or some other gentle liquid, like witch hazel) put a little on a cotton ball and GENTLY swipe the area about three times in each direction, again to try to persuade the crap to come out. You must be GENTLE because if it pops and bleeds, it will look worse. What you want is for any possible white crap to come out, but the ';plug'; (the part that keeps it from bleeding) to stay in.


    3. Hold a cotton ball on it for 60 seconds to blot any excess crap off. Then apply some lotion with salicylic acid in it. That will take the redness down.


    4. (OPTIONAL) If you are good at applying foundation, concealer, etc., go for it. If not, DON'T. A half-assed cover-up job will only draw more attention to it.


    5. Be confident. You are more than just a temporary imperfection.





    Sorry for the grossness, but hope this helped.
    toothpaste
    Use toothpaste - it must be the white paste, not a gel. Put a dab over the whole affected area. Let it dry completely. Then wash off with warm water. The toothpaste will dry out the zit - but it may still be a bit red, but you can cover the redness with a little foundation or concealer.

    I get zits at 23! H202 on a pimple helps.
    I'm 18 and I still get zits. Yucky zits. I have a 16 year old sister and a 15 year old brother and they get zits too. If it's really bad try seeing a dermatologist. Other then that, it's something that happens to just about everyone. Take good care of your skin, wash everyday, don't touch it with your fingers, and it could get better.
    oui. but its not as bad as a few years ago xD
    Yea, you pretty much have to stay on top of washing your face.

    I pop my zits... is that bad?

    ew i no this is like disgusting. but um is it rlly bad if u pop


    them?I pop my zits... is that bad?
    If they have come to a head and you do it gently with a washcloth or something else to pad your fingers it's ok but never with your fingernails or anything that digs into skin which can cause scarring and spread the infection deeper. You can put a steaming washcloth over a zit to help it come to a head faster or use a facial steamer. Check my site under the ';Acne'; catagory for lots of good skin care and acne information, tips and recipes:


    http://www.beautyandthebudget.blogspot.c…I pop my zits... is that bad?
    I've heard it's bad and can leave scars. But, I usually do it. I can't stand whiteheads and I find them very discusting. I only have a few scars on my cheeks and they're not from pimples there from noudles. A dermatologist will say it's very bad for you and will cause larger pimples/infections. If you do it with clean hands and wash your hands and face after. It should be fine.
    mega scars.
    yes, because that can cause really bad scarring and/or infections
    Well, its kind of sick. I'm no genius, but I know it causes infection because my friend has been doing it since she got her first zit, and shes always been fine, but last month it got so bad that it was bleeding every time she touched it. It hurt her so bad, she would cry. She had to go to the doctor. If you don't want an infection, i would recommend you to stop.
    YES!!!! yes you are supposed to pop a zit it gets the PUSS out of it and if you dont you will just be walking around with a red and white ZIT on your face...
    well i have to do it or mine hurt really bad and get worse and creams don't work for me try not to pop them if you don't have to just remember to wash your face all the time or get prevention creams that can help oh and the really big zits can leave scars on your face if you pop them i haven't got any scars but one of my friends do.
    It's not exactly good for your skin.
    you can pop them but if you keep picking at it it will turn into a scar, but you can get rid of that with a product that cost about bucks called witch hazel
    On the Tyra Banks show they said it was fine to pop a whitehead if you use two end of a q-tip to pop it rather than your fingers. You should also stop once you see blood and apply a pimple medication afterward.
    I've heard, been told, begged and pleaded that popping them causes scars + infections...But I'd rather have scars + infections than run around with my boyfriend not kissing me b/c I have a huge zit on my cheek!(True story:( )


    Hope I Helped!

    ewwww.yes, you could get mad scars. try using a facial scrub or something like St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Blemish/Blackhead Control. I think it works better than some other creams,scrubs,etc.
    Yes it will leave a scar. You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as a simple home remedy with great results. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
    you shouldn't because it will spread on your face and more will come.you could get them professionally ';popped'; lol
    It's not bad if you use a tool. But if you use your fingers you can cause scarring. Tools for acne can be found at any drugstore or convenience store and they are called something like ';Whitehead Remover';. It's a metal stick that has a loop on the end. You place the loop against the acne and push.
    i've heard you aren't supposed to.


    but honestly i'd much rather people pop them then run around with a big whitehead on their face.

    Reduce redness of zits?? ?

    i have really red zits but there not even really bumpy there just red and noticeable only because there red. Reduce redness of zits?? ?
    Apply a glob of aloe on zit. It will heal it quickly and reduce redness.


    Use a toner made out of 100% lemon juice, as lemon juice reduces redness.


    I have never tried this, but many people say to use visine on it (the one that is made for getting rid of redness).


    Just use concealer!!





    good luckerz!!!=]Reduce redness of zits?? ?
    Never, ever pop those stupid zits it will make it bigger and even red then before. (only if you see the head, white, puss on top (pop when you feel that your zit isnt hurting you when you touch it and it isnt hard, but apply warm water to it and use a two cupic against the zit, never use finger which contain bacteria and oil). Well.. to make zit less notice put toothpaste (one that contain baking soda) on over night. It will make it less red. HTH
    okay well if your going to pop a zit, wich is a bad idea, but sometimes its tempting. Just get a towel, and put warm water on two of the corners and with the corners push them against the zit. and the stuff will come out. its a better way to pop them because you wont get dirt and oils from your hand onto your face

    Okay so im 14 and i have some zits, i've tried poractive, triclear. clean & clear but nothing works!! help me!?

    Nothing is working!Okay so im 14 and i have some zits, i've tried poractive, triclear. clean %26amp; clear but nothing works!! help me!?
    Well first of all, you're 14 so it's perfectly normal to have zits at your age. It's basically caused by hormones, causing your oil glands to secrete more oil. DO NOT pack your face with anything. I've experienced anything that has to do with acne and packing on an excess of anything (too much moisturizer makes you break out more, too much benzoyl peroxide burns your skin) is not good. ALWAYS follow directions and results will come.


    Usually washing with a soap like Neutrogena in the morning and night and putting on a pea sized amount of Benzoyl Peroxide (like 5% or so) before you go to sleep will do. Do not rub your face or anything. And don't pop your zits because now I'm left with a lot of scars that wouldn't have happened if I just waitied another day or two for it to go.


    If that doesn't work then go to your dermatologist. My doctor (daddy) put me on Accutane which worked after couple months of very severe acne.


    You only probably have a few zits. Don't worry about it! It'll go!Okay so im 14 and i have some zits, i've tried poractive, triclear. clean %26amp; clear but nothing works!! help me!?
    your 14! every teenager gets zits. its normal. proactive is mostly for people with severe acne. not people with acouple zits. alot of people was there face to much and it takes the natural oil off of your skin which often makes you get more zits and not less. instead of just using face wash try finding a mosturizer for your face. i got mine at gottshalks in the makeup section but im not sure where else you can find it. they have all different types depending on how oily your skin is regularly. so if you find some try washing your face and then usuing the mosturizer to. also if you wear cover up make sure you use one that doesnt have oil in it. or dont use one at all. if you get the mosturizer it should make your skin look better than any cover up anyways. i forget the name of mine but it works really good. also ive heard that if you put tooth paste on your zits before you go to sleep is suppose to dry them out and make them go away. but you have to leave them on there over night. good luck
    OOOHHH





    I CAN HELP YOU HERE!!





    I went through all of that in my younger teenage years and I even saw a dermatologist who recommended me to a number of things: nuetrogena, differin gel, and others. DIDNT WORK. just gave me all the side effect, like dry itchy burning skin!





    but then I went my own way. I use St. Ives Apricot scrub (gentle or non-medicated) as a mask or scrub. and then I use those acne cleansing pads (any brand works, i assume. Im using the walmart brand). And before I go to sleep I cover my face in a thick layer of a thick, un-scented lotion (like lubriderm). My acne, and my dark spots from the past, are clearing nicely. Give it a try.





    PS the acne pads mite sting some, but its way little compared to those other face medications
    Whenever I get a zit, I usually at night before I go to bed, I put some toothpaste on the zit and then wash the toothpaste off in the morning and it goes away in a few days. It might take longer, depending on how big the zits are.
    if those dont work, try neutregena or whatever its called or dove. or just wash with soap and water. if those dont work. i would go to a dermatolagist. they are specialists in skin and stuff. they could recommend something. hope i helped and goodluck%26lt;3
    Spectrogel spectrogel and more spectro gel ( for acne prone skin) its the best. Dont use makeup that will clog your pores and exfoliate once a week and moisturize with Aveeno.
    I am also 14 and i use to have acne.


    Regular soap does wonders.


    Just wash your face everyday with like DOVE* or something.
    neutrogena works 4 me.
    What about Clearasil? It works for me. :D
    DRINK ALOT OF WATER AND HAVE A BALANCED DIET (: xoxo
    my cousin uses neutrogina. she might have used clearasil too.

    Please help with zits!? it makes me so insecure:(?

    i have pretty mild zits on my forehead. there is just a few but they are very red and sort of swollen:/ im really trying to get rid of them asap with a home remedy(: thanks so much. btw i am 13:]Please help with zits!? it makes me so insecure:(?
    Hey sweetie, I'm about to give you the keys to the mint. Wash your face with antibacterial handsoap - nothing fancy, just clear. This will keep the bacteria level on your face to a minimum. Then use hydrocortizone CREAM, not ointment, after that. I buy the walmart brand cause I like the consistency of the formula better. Keep your hands off your face, wash any/all makeup brushes regularly, and get rid of pressed powder ';puffs'; asap - this breeds bacteria! Clean off your cell phone, home phones regularly as these touch your face. And if you have bangs, pin them back - this acts as a curtain to hold dirt and moisture against your skin. Take a multi vitamin every day.





    This will work! I have used this regimen for 15 yrs.Please help with zits!? it makes me so insecure:(?
    Hello,


    First you want a skin care routine that you can do morning and night. You need to make sure your skin gets everything it needs. You will need a cleanser,toner, and a moisterizer. You can get like proactive which comes with all of them or you can get them seperate. I reccomend Acne Free the brand. Then You want to exfoliate once a week. SO make sure you get an exfoliater to. Only do this once a week. Then make sure you drink plenty of water and fruits and veggies. That helps your skin dont ask why because I dont know. But then once a week change your pillow case because when you are sleeping oil gets on your pillow from your hair and skin. And make sure if you use make up it not to be to heavy becuase that will clog your pores. Hopes this helped! Sorry about my spelling!
    you can use rubbing alcohol and that would them up and when that happens you can squeez it out and ful the whole with a good cream by putting a fingure tip of cream on the whole and that would full it up and yourskin wouldget clear but use neutrogena or ponds vanishing cream in the whole and it works try it i did that with all mines and it works you would be good in a month.
    u can put viniger on them, it dries them out, and if u put a peice of bread(w/ a band aid on it) on them, the yeast will help alot, this is what my mom had me do, but u will hav 2 hav it don ovr nyt or all day, or it wnt work. and u culd also just wash it regulary w/ sum face wash(clean and clear works best for me anyways) and then ryt aftr that i wuld put a face cloth on my face that has been in hot water and is nice and steamy
    OMFG i have really bad skin too and ive tried everything and anything u can think of but like 3 months ago i tried this system called murad and its soooo amazing like i have every type of acne too. i say try it it works like really fast and doents dry ur skin out or make it too shiny its sweet!
    dont pick or pop them until they are ready.i have some scars from picking too soon,so dont do that.well get an overnight spot treatment cream(not expensive) and just use makeup,if you can.
    Well, I don't know about a home remedy, but washing with soapyish water 3 times a day helps. :)
    wash your face with a scrub or regular soap three times a day.
    tea tree oil? not too sure sorry, maybe face wash or something?


    hope you find some help! :)
    i use tooth paste it sounds weird but it works my friends mom told me about it.%26lt;3
    im sorry. if there irritated. you just have to wait for them to go away

  • Should i pick zits and blackheads... ?

    i am 17 and i have pretty bad acne, i have alot of pores on my cheeks and many bumps all over my face making it look like i have very uneven skin. i am stuck because people contradict themselves saying how you shouldnt pick zits and blackheads but if you dont they will leave scars. i want to know the straight answer please help me i dont want it to get any worseShould i pick zits and blackheads... ?
    NO never ever pick them unless you get a head on them when you havn't got a head that means the spot is not ready to be squeased and yes you will get scares if you do so and blckheads boil water and put a towel over your face and lean over it then your pores will open then gentley squese them out then wash your face





    good luck xShould i pick zits and blackheads... ?
    You should not pick them as it will scar your face.You can go to a dermatologist, and he can prescribe some Retin-A and maybe antibiotics. he or she will know what medicine is best for you. On our hands we carrry many bacteria, so when we pick them it can make more bacteria enter the zits,making them so much worse. Also, in your teen years, because of the many hormonal changes there is more of a tendency to get zits.There are some dietary changes you can make, like avoiding too many fried foods, or any types of foods or snacks with high fat content.A good astringent, like Sea Breeze is good to apply after cleaning the face.I dont know if you are male or female, so if female, avoid all oil based make ups. Clinique makes a good oil free foundation.I hope this helps.
    if your zits have the little white dot/puss thing and are 'ripe' then by all means, go for it. just make sure that you wash your hands before you do so and use tissues to cover each of the fingers that you're using to pop it. it's really okay to pop ready zits.





    as for blackheads, that's a no-no. it's VERY difficult to squeeze blackheads and not get some sort of aftermath, whether seen or not. consider this, not even dermatologists will squeeze out their own blackheads, it's that difficult. i use to do it all the time and it would leave brown spots. if anything use pore strips, which damage ur skin so moisturize afterwards, or use a peeling mask, which goes into your pores just enough to attach to the dirt underneath and pull them out. if you happen to see a grape seed purple bottled brand called Merlot for your face peel, it sucks! dont buy it. hope it helps! :)
    I used to have bad acne and bad habit of picking at it. If you pick, it'll probably scar. Nobody wants a scarred face. I highly recommend that you get a drug called accutane. I was on it for 5 months, cleared up my acne and nothing has come back since (shrinks oil pores). All the over the counter BS never worked for me.
    no, don't.


    it will make it worse, and it will be there longer.


    you'll be spreading the acne germs onto the rest of your face, and you'll just get more%26amp;more acne.


    and as for the scar part, i picked mine and i got a scar=/


    ...i'm just hoping it will grow back !


    yuckky )=
    Don't I repeat don't pick...let them dry on their own. Wash your face with Noxema, pat dry and keep the face clean. Stay away from chocolate and spicy foods. Eat fruit and veggies and drink lots of water...I know its a ***** but do the following and you will grow to be lovely, BUT don't touch them....
    You're just getting overconcerned. Just relax and ignore them, it will go away. Probably try some things you can buy over the counter for your black heads though.
    Ew no no no!


    Never pick at the skin on your face that will worsen it!


    Just leave it alone and it will eventually go away.
    don't pick it!


    go to a dermatologist! asap!
    NEVER
    ewww....no

    Can dogs get zits?

    My daughter asked me that this morning. lolCan dogs get zits?
    Yes they canCan dogs get zits?
    Yes, as they have pores like us.





    They tend to get ';zits';, but alot less frequently, as there pores get clogged much less than ours. But, when it does, the outcome is a ';zit';.





    Thereore, yes, dogs can get ';zits';





    Hope I helped!





    -Danielle
    i believe not, because as dogs do not sweat like us they do not need pores, so the zit would have to grow under a hair or near it, i have 2 dogs and neither of them has ever had a ';zit';
    I thought my dog had a big zit on her head . I tried to pop it and squeezed too hard and popped her brains. GROSS !!Just kidding.
    They can get cysts, which are similar.
    yes they get blocked oil ducts .
    I'm sure they can





    SC
    yes
    i think so...and they can get warts, too.

    Quick remedies for Zits?

    Toothpaste is only one brand, polident I believe... Other toothpastes don't work and only clog and irritate the pore.





    Over-Exfoliation will only irritate skin.





    Use a gentle, glycerin based cleanser (no lauryl-sulfates, harsh irritants) and a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide treatment. 10% is too strong.





    For spot treatments there are two miracles.





    1) Mario Badescu Drying Lotion


    cuts it in half overnight, gone in a day or two....





    2) Aztec Bentonite Clay Mask mixed with 100% apple cider vinegar as a spot treatment. You can get these products at a health food store.





    Also, SLEEP. You can sleep off a pimple.


    If you're worried about immediate relief your dermatologist can make a tiny injection of antihistamine which basically makes the redness disappear and makes it impossible for the bacteria to survive.Quick remedies for Zits?
    put toothpaste on them. i think it's spose to dry them out.Quick remedies for Zits?
    i swear by this product!! it's called--Dr. Burt's Herbal Blemish Stick. it's about $8-$9. it works great...try it night before and it reduces sizes of pimples.





    http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stor鈥?/a>
    I recently bought this drying lotion called bye bye blemish that works pretty good. it still takes like 1-3 days, depends how bad it is for you, but it drys the pimples out really good and fast....try this instead of toothpaste, same effect but its not sticky and messy
    A gentle cleanser used twice per day and a gentle exfoliation 2 - 3 times a week is the key to ridding yourself of acne.





    I have had excellent results with the 2 minute miracle exfoliation gel from Ice Elements. It gently removes the top layer of dead skin, excess sebum and debris so that your pores are able to breath easier... The aloe in the gel will also help to reduce the redness of the acne.





    The Radiance cleanser is also really exceptional as it has a gentle glycolic in it that cleanses without overdrying.





    I have tried everything, or pretty close to everything out there and this companies products are exceptional.





    Good luck!
    tooth paste.





    put every gel eliminating pimple stuff you have on it. it will get confused and just go away.





    put an ice cube on it.





    i heard puting a potatoe slice on it for like 2 minutes helps it but i don't know about that one.
    I would scrub my face with a cleanser every night. That takes away my acne in less than a week. Try not to pick at your zits, or else they'll grow into ugly scars. Hope this works. Toothpaste doesn't work. I've tried it already. All it just does is dry your skin out and irritate it even more.

    Do you guys know a god ointment for zits.??!?

    thanks..Do you guys know a god ointment for zits.??!?
    this might sound gross but Avon double action slouthing foot cream. apply with an electric tooth brush.Do you guys know a god ointment for zits.??!?
    get your doctor to prescribe Differin, it really works.
    read tips on treating acne, skincare and home remedies to help you better on this site
    I used a Bible Search site, and can honestly tell you that there is no God ointment for zits.





    Perhaps you could ask the Mormons, as they have the most creative imagination of any church on earth.
    Yes, wear a mask.





    NO JUST KIDDING! LOL





    PROACTIVE SOLUTION
    Soap.
    Benzo gell, or anything with benzol peroxide. Also Tea Tree oil helps.
    I think achol works good I've always found toothpaste to work to. I would suggest though if u try this to use it right before you go to bed.
    use a good treatment like clearpores.
    Get a slightly rough scrubbing glove or mitt from the beauty dept. at a drug store or Walmart. Scrub daily with it. It will open the pores so the junk will be cleaned out .





    My Husband has had this problem (blackheads) every time he skips scrubbing his face for a few days they come back.





    Do just the scrubbing will work. Use hot wet towels on your face


    (30 second in the microwave) Put the damp hot towel on your face. It opens your pores. I also use vaseline on mine at night.


    Then use the hot towels in the morning to clean your face. It works quite well as a facial and very cheap. I have no zits or black heads. Give it a try. and Good Luck.
    if u have tried a lot of stuff throught your doctor and it has not worked ask your doctor about acutane.
    I don't believe God has endorsed any of the commercial zit remedies. Clearasil is well spoken of among nondeities, however.
    PRO-ACTIVE
    Arbonne. It is really good stuff, I love it and it smells good too...
    alcohol no problem
    I know a great one! Take one aspirin and crush it and take a lemon and squeeze a few drops into the crushed aspirin. Make a paste and put it on the zit. It will dissolve it overnight.
    Clearasil works well,there are others on the market that you may want to ask a pharmacist about.
    OMG the best stuff acnefree, its like 20 bucks for the whole kit at any store like target.its amazing it clears your face up in a few days and keeps pimples away.it may burn if you have alot of azne but it will get rid of your pimples compleatlly.i havn thad a pimple in months.

    Anything to lose zits fast?

    like a mask or some kind of homemade treatment.Anything to lose zits fast?
    First of all, no one has flawless skin. Some people have it better than others, but thats just genes and stuff. Go to www.freewebs .com/reelbeauty11 for skin and beauty tips. I know its for young girls, but it works for anyone!





    I know some people who have tried ProActive and it worked, but I also know some others who have tried it and it made it worse :( I know some who have put rubbing alchol on their skin or peroxcide to dry up the pimples. It also kills bacteria :) . Also, try going to a dermotoligist, or ask your regular doctor. Often times the regular doctor, who knows more about your med. history and whatnot can help you more than a dermatologist.





    are you a vegetarian? That might have something to do with it. Its worth checking into.





    Try dabbing toothpaste or honey on your zits before you go to bed - works wonders.





    Overall, remember that beauty counts more on the inside than on the outside, and your true friends will love you for you, and not your skin.





    Oh, and try a different kind of foundation, if you wear it. Try to use a kind with lots of water in it. It looks great and doesn't clog pores half as bad. And check your habits - do you prop your chin up a lot with your hands? That might cause the acne as well. Look for the cause, as well as the cure.Anything to lose zits fast?

    Deshawna.
    it didnt for me. they were still there and i used it for a couple of days..

    A question about zits?

    I have bad skin


    and i feel like i have tried everything


    any suggestions ?A question about zits?
    Combating acne invovles a few processes, depending on your skin type, age and severity of acne.





    Firslty it's not just what goes on your face but what goes in it as well. Junk food doesnt necessarily cause acne, but it is low in nutrients. Vitamins and minerals, especially zinc magnesium and vitamin E are important fo supporting healthy skin. Aim for your two fruit and five veg a day, lean meats and salmon is meant to be great for skin as well as its full of omega-3 fats, good fats that are good for your skin as well.





    Secondly drink that water!! Two litres of water a day to keep the skin hydrated. If you are dehydrated your skin will produce extra sebum oil in attempt to lubricate and hydrate your skin, and that extra oil is what contributes to pores getting blocked and causing acne.





    That leads me to my third suggestion of not overwashing your face! The same thing happens, you remove all your natural oils and te skin becomes dry, so your face produces extra oil to try and compensate.





    Fourth suggestion is using medicated but MILD cleansers, do not use harsh chemicals on your skin because they can again dry your face out and cause more problems then they solve. Trying using hypoallergenic washes that contain a little bit of byrenzol peroxide or cyclic acid, but a little bit, be gentle to your face!





    Fifth suggeston is that at least once a week you still exfoliate, tone and moisturise. Exfoliating removes dead skin particles that can get trapped in pores and cause pimples. The toning helps lift away those dead skin cells and gives the pores a little extra clean out and moisturising helps nourish the new skin.





    Sixth is DO NOT SQUEEZE! Tempting I know! but you will cause serious scarring that is pretty hard to get rid of.





    Seven is aviod wearing make up when you can, i know you would love to cover up the acne all the time, but it can clog your pores and just cause a vicious cycle of creating more pimples so you wear more make up which causes more pimples....etc etc.





    Eight is to exersise!! Getting the blood circulating to your skin is fantastic for it because all your nutrients are delivered via the blood system. Also, getting up a sweat naturally cleans out those pores as the sweat flushes out the pores and the sodium in your sweat is a good cleanser, but you must remember to shower immediatly after and to never wear make up when you exersise.





    Nine if acne is really serious, see a doctor, there are medications out there that can help serious acne suffers. In saying that still follow the steps I have listed as using them along with medication will result in a much better outcome.





    Ten you need to remember that there is no quick fix to treating acne any treatment takes at least two months before you really see improvements and results so be patient and give it time.


    A question about zits?
    Acne is a bacteria that needs to be killed. Witch Hazel is also works great.. it is a little smelly, but you can use a cotton ball or wash cloth. It will tke away the oiliness. `Tea Tree Oil will kill out the bacteria or weaken it enough not to bother you. Apply it to the effected areas with a q-tip or cotton ball after you have washed.





    You should get a good multivitamin(highly suggest) with vitamin a,c,e,d and zinc.. this should help tons! Eating carrots also helps.. there is beta-carotene (Vitamin A) in them which helps prevent acne and repair the skin. Take zinc, zinc is a antibacterial agent. Make sure to dink plenty of water and get good rest at night.





    Azelaic Acid is a great natural acid that reduces the growth of bacteria, restores the skins cells and reduces inflammation. Try using a topical with Azelaic Acid in it.. it is safe.





    Also, change/wash your pillow case and sheets every other day.





    There are ways to put moisture back into your skin and heal it, such as: drinking lots of water, making sure you are eating enough fat/omega-3 oils. Lotions with mineral oil can dry out the skin, use one with out it! Emu Oil ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_oil ) contains vitamin A and E, Sapogens ( makes skin softer), and Oleic acid (a skin cell regenerator, anti-wrinkel agent) - walgreens sells emu oil.. i would think walmart would as well.
    Ooo I know the feeling, my skin is bad too


    I'm using Garnier 3 in 1 wash stuff, dunno if u have seen it advertised before but i do think that helps for my skin


    And I'm also using Clearisil Ultra Spot Cream. Thing is, my skin would be a hell lot worse if i didn't use it.


    Dunno if u have used the Freederm products but they didn't work for me (but that just might be my skin being odd lol)


    Also try exercising and drinking plenty of water, helps clear the skin.


    Can also try mud masks too, love using them


    Hope this helps and good luck =)
    Cetaphil oily skin cleanser really helps me. But it all depends on your skin type. Do you have oily/dry/normal/or combination skin? Also in your daily routine there should be 3 steps: Cleansing, Fixing, Mosturizing. I don't use much mosturizer tho since I have oily skin. Good luck!
    i used to get pimples too.


    i found that just washing my face everyday with a normal face soap helped get rid of them.


    if you actually have really bad skin, you could go to a skin care doctor and get some perscription acne care.
    Wash your face with warm water in the morning, and hottish water at night. Only use face wash in the shower, were you can get all the soap off your skin and out of your tear ducts. This might be clogging your skin.
    Depends on how bad it is. I went on Accutane when I was about 18 for cystic acne. I have perfect smooth skin now.

    Help!! I have zits and they need to not be on my face!?

    My face broke out, and it's been happening for awhile now. I need serious help!! please, I have used proactive and that just didn't work. My face has never really broke out until this year, my senior year and i'm pissed.. anything work for you guys?Help!! I have zits and they need to not be on my face!?
    I used everything as well. And this may sound funny because it is something from home, I use salt and warm water. It doesn't get rid of completely but it sure does shrink it. I heard lemon juice works. If you find anything that works, let me know! :)

    Calamine lotion has the same drying effect like toothpaste so you can apply it overnight and wash the next day. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/

    Using toothpaste for zits?

    i kinds have a zit on my face, and i popped it;;


    but is it okay to put toothpaste on it when it's been popped?





    what toothpaste is better ( is so , ) colgate, or aquafresh? Using toothpaste for zits?
    Ah! NO! it dries out your skin like crazy! get some kind of facial soap or wipes or something, it'll make your skin look a LOT healthierUsing toothpaste for zits?
    I think that a lot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK!





    STAY AWAY FROM ALL THESE HOME REMEDIES. THEY WILL BURN YOUR SKIN OR OVER DRY YOUR SKIN causing your skin to get small tears in your skin which will actually leave your skin more susceptible to bacteria which causes more acne.





    PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you are under 18, I think this is a great solution for you!





    Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!





    Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?





    However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.





    Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.





    However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.





    If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.





    If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.





    The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.





    The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.





    Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?





    Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:





    www.aboutyourskincare.com





    You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.





    Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.





    They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.





    A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):





    Night time:





    1. Exfoliate the skin


    2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser


    3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).


    4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts


    5. Moisturizer





    Morning:





    1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser


    2. Moisturizing cream





    The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com


    As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.
    well it ried toothpaste a few times, it barely worked


    i read somewhere that lemon juice helps.. and i have pimples all over my mouth area... i just put lemon juice on it for about 5 min and they got smaller, and less red..





    citric acid is good for your pimples :) try that
    Heyy Chicka,


    I would recommend you using no toothpaste at all. I would crush one or two aspirin and add a drop of water and make like a paste with it then apply it on your zit. Aspirin is anti-inflammatory.


    Good Luck!!





    Hope I Helped!
    i used toothpaste on my zits (before popping) i wore it all night but the zit dodn't do anything. it didn't even come to a head to make popping it easier. I used colgate. Hope this helps!
    Wtf? no. Toothpastes contain a menthol like ingredient that will irritate your skin.. (most of them) at least the ones you listen.





    Smacking that stuff on there may only irritate the zit even more.
    You are supposedly suppose to use the plain white toothpaste.. isnt aquafresh colored? or maybe they have different types





    Best of luck!!





    Carrie =)
    Rubbing alcohol, or stridex pads.
    Both are okay because they both have an ingrediant that will dry up the zit.
    nooo!!!


    that will make it worse. its totally an old wise tale.
