I have pimples, blackheads, and probably some other stuff and it's annoying. My face is red and looks like a mountain. I have them on my face, chest, shoulders, and back.

Does anyone know anything that is inexpensive, preferably natural, and would clear them up fast? I don't know what skin type I have.

Thanks =)

  1. You definitely need to stick with one product line and use it consistently! A product is made to work with others in the same line! My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil products and I've had clearer skin ever since!  It runs like $7 or $8 for a bottle of the facial cleanser, and it lasts a long time!  I also use their antibacterial soap before bed, and the daily moisturizer with SPF 15.  I've found the things I use at warehouse stores, so I can stock up even cheaper.

    Oh, and don't touch them! I know its hard, but using your fingers on your face and spread germs and introduce more dirt and oil to an already bad problem!

    Good luck!


  2. I see you have acne not only on your face, but also all over your body, so what you need is a complete SYSTEM.

    Why?

    Because you can't effectively fight body acne with topical facial treatment... you also need to fight it from inside.

    That's why I heartily recommend ClearPores: http://www.clearpores.com/clicks/clickth... It consists of natural ingredients and works for a lot of people with severe acne problem.

    Hope this helps!

    P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:

  7. People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne.  Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face.  Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne.  If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.  

    Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little.  Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne much worse by using too many products.  There really is no quick fix for acne.  Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne.  Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..  

    There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing.  Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean.  Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that.  Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue.   Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  A healthy life style will make a difference.  Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.  

    Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.  

    Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.
