Comments on How to Treat Pimples

I know it may not be the best thing for your body, but I was on Orthotricycline for years and my skin was usually clear. I just went off of it and although I lost some weight, and started breaking out. The pill really does keep your skin clearer. Also, a natural soap called Clearly Natural is good and gentle.

While it may seem like a good idea, due to its good drying qualities, NEVER apply toothpaste to your skin. It can cause serious skin conditions. You want to help your complexion, not aggravate it and make it more serious! Consult a dermatologist instead.

I tried the toothpaste on my face and in a day the pimmples and blemishes were smaller on my forehead! It works!

Don't just sit there and sulk because you have acne, get out there and do something. ProActive works great for me. The three step process works wonders!

Dab the blemish with a cotton swab dipped in patchouli or lavendar essential oils. Eucalyptus works just as well.

Believe it or not, regular (and great) sex helps skin tone by maintaining physiologically constant levels of estrogens in circulation - that's how oral contraceptives alleviate acne. But don't forget to make sure it's safe sex!

Buy Paul Mitchel Tea Tree Shampoo and wash your face everynight with it when you bathe. Then take lukewarm water and a washcloth and dab your face. Then, right before you go to bed, apply tea tree oil right on the zits. When you wake up, wash with water!

Drink lots of water! Always keep a bottle of water in your car, in your purse or at your desk. Also, try to stay away from processed food. Eat food that is alive - fruits and vegetables are very good.

Use tea tree oil! It definately works. TRY IT DONT DENY IT!

I've had acne for years - been through antibiotics, did accutane twice, tried proactive & many at-home remedies. Accutane worked for about 1.5 years each time, but once out of my system, the acne reappeared. Now I'm on lomalux & it's working great for me.

Seabreeze astringent. I would not suggest going with the store brand on this product. Sea Breeze is amazing, it can do wonders.

To get that pimple away, just wash your face twice a day, treat it with whatever works best for you, but don't go all crazy and put lots of stuff on it, it will just irritate your skin and dry it. Your zit needs some breathing too, so it could heal naturally. Everyone of us get pimples, you're not the first, don't stress even more. Try to not pop it, that could make it even more red. And remember to always eat healthy food, drink a lot of water, exercise, and relax. All of these things will make your skin feel and look better.

It sounds bizarre, but toothpaste is the answer to the pimple poppin' skin scourge. Apply just before going to bed, then wake up in the morning to find your pore-clogging comrade considerably smaller and more dried up than it used to be!

A cream called Slicox base will reduce scars left from acne. Toothpaste burns the spot out too and will leave a scar use silcox base and it will make it go away.(i dont recommend using toothpaste in the first place) It is also a good moisturiser for any part of the body. And comes in a very big tub which is very cheap!

do face masks regularly and put a little bit on a spot over night. synergie pure is good. put boiling water on a cotton bud and put it right on the spot. it hurts but it does work quite well.

Wash your face with a washcloth and soap. Put toothpaste on effected area. After 1/2 hour, remove the toothpaste and put Clean n' Clear Acne Spot Treatment on the pimples (keep it on overnight). Never sleep on your face, it clogs your pores. Sleep on your back, instead. Put the toothpaste on your acne 3 times a week, and the Clean n' Clear treatment on every night before you go to bed.

Toothpaste stings a lot when you put it on and I found it made my skin even redder. If you want good results try tea tree oil or egg yolk masque. Also, don't forget to exercise. Sitting on your couch watching TV waiting for your toothpaste masque to dry isn't going to keep those pesky pimples away! Drink water, too. If you want your face to have a fabulous complexion, you're going to have to get off your butt and jog, or bike, or walk your pimple problems away! I hope you found this inspiring and helpful!

Most people like candy better than fruit (OK, I do), but fruit helps you a lot! Fruits taste better than candies (once you get used to it). Try to drink water instead of sodas. I know I'm sounding like your Mom or Dad, but this really works.

If you put a layer of toothpaste over the pimple at night before you go to bed, it will dry out the pimple and stop it from growing. But always remember to wash it off in the morning and apply moisturizer.

Found a cream that seems to be working wonders. It's made by by "Laboratoires Payot" from France. Very hard to get in the US or Canada. You can order it or ask your friends traveling to Europe to get it for you. It's called "pate purrifiante."

Soak a cotton ball (I use gauze) in some ethanol and wipe over your entire face (except for the sensitive areas, like near your eyes). It burns when you pass it under your nose, so try not to breathe. It makes your skin super clean and shrinks pimples, sometimes instantly. There is no need to wash it off afterward, unless it burns too much. Washing it off and then having to dry it will just get it dirty again. You can steam your face before, after, or not at all when using ethanol. Just make sure to run your face under cool water before using it to make sure your pores are closed or you could poison yourself. Also, remember that ethanol is flammable, so don't use it near an open flame or near a heat source. This is probably the most dangerous tip here, the benefits are good, but the risks are bad. One thing I am emphasizing is to only use ethanol on your face if you have dark or brown skin. White skin will turn red and unsightly, and will stay that way for a while.

My facial regimen works, it goes as follows: 1. 1-2 times a week I use St.Ives Peel off-Hydroxy Masque. 2. 1-2 times a week I also use St. Ives Apricot Scrub (which feels good but leaves the hair a bit messy). 3. Wash with Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial cleanser, It cleared up my complexion so much. 4. Treat the acne pimples with Acne Free blemish (it's in a small tube found at WalMart) 5. Always use a moisturizer. If your skin is oily, then only use a small amount. I like Clinique Moisture Surge Light or Alpha Hydroxy. Those two are amazing. I got the Alpha Hydroxy at Dollar General on the clearance rack, ironically. Use the Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser daily morning and day. Even washing your face in the shower in the morning is OK. Remember not to overly use these products, as over cleansing will cause more harm than good. 6. Always take vitamins specifically for hair and nails. Centrum Complete A-Zinc is great as well. WalMart and Dollar General carry these vitamins. 7. Drink the recommended daily amount of water. Don't drink too much water however, it can cause brain swelling. This regimen works. Trust me. I've been on Tazorac, and another prescription medication and they were terrible. Tazorac works, but I don't like the idea of it making more pimples before it works. When it does this, the pimples it makes are harder to clear up than the normal one's.

Lemon juice will clear up pimples. Just dab some on your face with a cotton ball every morning and night. I wear it under my makeup.

If your skin is under control, and you want to keep it that way, here is what you do: Wash your face (take off all makeup) before you go to bed. Afterward, put a thin layer of Vaseline all over your face. It feels weird at first, but when you wake up in the morning, your skin is incredibly vibrant and all the pores are smaller. Do this every night. The Vaseline makes a protective barrier and doesn't allow any new pimples to form. Try it, you won't be sorry.

I know that for some of you, going to the dermatologist was a bad idea. My parents, too, never liked the idea of me taking antibiotics and using chemicals. But people were beginning to bug my parents to treat my acne and I was also getting annoyed with it so they finally took me. About 6 months later, it's SUCH an improvement. He started me on pills twice a day and that "benzoyl" stuff every night. Then he took me off the pills and I only use the cream at night and an applicator (like the bingo ones) in the morning. If only it wasn't for summer breakouts...!
