Answer 1

scrap the toothpaste,thats old school.crush a regular aspirin, drop of water to make a paste, apply to zit, after it dries rinse with water, can also leave on overnight for bad zits.or else put on a dab of diaper cream, this has zinc in it, which heals skin problems.or a little dab of honey, for as long as possible, then rinse off.i have also heard green tea bags, warm after making the tea, hold on zit for as long as you can.there are many home-made websites for skin, hair, lots of ideas on them-always best not to put chemicals on your face,try the natural hints.works for eczema too.i just tried the new clinical secret deodorant, on a strip of zits across my forehead,left on overnight-wow!!

Answer 4

I have discovered that drinking as little as one large glass of iced tea (sweetened or not) everyday will cause break outs.  I kid you not.  I can drink iced tea once or twice a week and be ok, but every day is disasterous.

So you might try looking at what you are consuming that your skin doesn't like.

Also, don't wash and scrub your face more than twice a day.  For some reason, repeated daily washings seems to aggrivate and stimulate your pores to secrete more oil.  I just wash my face lightly in the morning, then I give it a good washing at night before bed, with a very light moisturizer.  That's it.  Oh - and try to keep your fingers off your face, that only seems to spread the germs and create new zits, and on & on it goes.

Try these home remedies to get rid of acne:

• Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water. Repeat for two weeks,

• Use aloe vera juice on the pimples morning and night for as long as necessary (perhaps five months or longer).

• Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.

• Rub garlic on and around pimples.

• Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of pimples.

Answer 6

i think it's just any kind of toothpaste. So you could probably use the toothpaste that you have

Answer 7

My sister tried using a baking soda mask (just baking soda and water mixed together) and her acne cleared up pretty fast. Just leave it on for 15 minutes and wash off! Hope this works :]  

Answer 8

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.

Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.

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! 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.

Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.

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

Good Luck to you,
