on 11/22/2005 One way to get rid of pimples on your back is to wash your sleep clothes often, and to wash your sheets often.

on 4/17/2007 What I found to work best is when you have any amount of pimples you should steam your face. This opens up the pores. Then wash your face with a good soap that will not dry out your face. If your face is dry your pimples can get irritated and look worse. Then use a little bit of rubbing alcohol. Next, splash cold water on your face. This will close your pores and will help keep dirt out of them. If you want to you can put a little bit more rubbing alcohol on. There is a more effective and immediate solution though. Go to the store and buy Clearasil Ultra vanishing cream. It works very well for any pimple.

on 11/22/2005 Take any kind of fluoride mouthwash, put some on a cotton ball and wipe the effected area with it. Do this every night or morning. The pimples will shrink and dry up and soon they will be gone for good! Trust me, it works!

on 11/22/2005 I was skeptical about this whole toothpaste thing, but I decided to give it a try. The morning after trying it, the places where I had broken out the day before were noticeably smaller and less- noticeable. Now my pimples aren't noticeable at all!

on 11/22/2005 All you have to do is take a piece of chewed gum and put it on your pimple. It should start to numb the pimple and stop the redness from coming back. Wash your face with with a facial wash to remove any stickiness.

on 11/22/2005 Don't touch your face after you've been touching something dirty (like money). Put a moisturizer on your face then use a little toothpaste or a cream with benzoyl peroxide.

on 11/22/2005 I've tried so much stuff for acne but this helped mine and I hope it helps yours. First gently scrub your face with St. Ives face wash. I know it looks bad, but it works. Then dab the water off of your face. If you rub the water off with a towel then it is only putting more germs in your pores. Finally, with a cosmetic pad or cotton swab, apply rubbing alcohol on your face. Do not apply a lot of alcohol because and can dry out your face, you can apply it every other day.

on 11/22/2005 I have acne. This is what I do -
I use a face wash of oatmeal and honey with some cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. I put the ingredients in the microwave for 10 seconds then let it sit until cooled. I apply my oatmeal paste to my face and wait 20 minutes. I then rinse it off and I have a smooth, clean face. I then let egg whites mixed with baking soda sit on my face for 10 minutes. This drastically helps reduce pimple size.

on 11/22/2005 I've had acne for a year and I use to touch my pimples and it left acne scars. Acne scars aren't good because you have to suffer for a long time. Try to ignore your pimples. It works!

on 11/22/2005 I tried everything to treat my pimples and nothing worked - except one ointment. It is called Infinite Aloe, it is good for all skin types and it keeps your skin soft and pampered. You can get it at nearby malls. Try using it after you take a shower; when your pores are open. It worked for me and it will work for you!

on 11/22/2005 I have had acne since age 11. I have tried everything. The only thing that works for me I started using a few months ago. Neosporin has worked miracles on new pimples and old red scars. My face is 80% clearer and improves every week. I put it on at night and wash it off in the morning. Just use it sparingly and only where needed.

on 11/22/2005 If you have a whitehead, the best thing to do is not to use your fingernails! Use a needle to release the pressure, then gently squeeze out the puss. Afterward, wash your face with cold water. Using a needle basically lowers the pressure, and greatly lowers the chance of the blood rushing to the pimple, which makes it really red!
