Whats good to treat....?

Question

what is a good acne wash for your face besides proactiv. it has to be something cheap tho. =/

Answer 1

I found this to work great when I could no longer afford the proavtiv:

After removing most of your makeup, wash face with St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub (i think it says "blemish and blackhead control" too) and it costs about $3-4. Then for a toner I used Olay refreshing toner which is about $4-5 or you can use plain ole Witch Hazel for less than $1.

If you get a blemish, put toothpaste (not the gel kind) on it overnight and it will visibly reduce it.

Answer 3

If you really looking for something for your skin which is dirt cheep and work better than the proactive - than  your own body can give you the product.

Nearly all of those expensive creams for dry skin do contain urea in it. Sometimes from the animals, sometimes synthetic.

Isn't it better if you use your own??

I am strongly against drinking it, nevertheless as a perfect disinfection of your pimples the use of urine is great.

Makes the skin to look much younger as well.

Your urine doesn't contain bacteria or viruses unless you have an infection of the urinary tract.

It contain 95% water, 2.5% urea and 2.5% is a mixture of enzymes, hormones, minerals, vitamins and salts.

So just a daily little splash can't hurt.
