on 11/22/2005 If you wear glasses like I do, then you probably want to clean them a lot (especially the little nose pads that have a tendency to collect oil, which causes pimples and blackheads). If you keep them clean, you won't have to worry about that! It works.

on 11/22/2005 A good way to treat pimples is to rub a slice lemon on your face. Some people swear it prevents blemishes. The acidic lemon juice prevents the blemish of pimples.

on 11/22/2005 I used toothpaste on a pimple and it worked! But I did it three nights in a row and it burned my skin, so I would suggest using it for one night only.

on 11/22/2005 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.

on 11/22/2005 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!

on 11/22/2005 Use a 100% pure tea tree oil on your face. It not only flattens the pimples, but also dramatically reduces the redness of the acne. You can get a bottle at most, if not all, beauty supply stores.

on 11/22/2005 My doctor actually recommended that I use toothpaste. I haven't started yet, but he said it was the #1 natural thing that you can use.

on 11/22/2005 All you have to do is put a little garlic juice with some salt on it and leave it overnight. I know it doesn't smell so good, but it really works!

on 11/22/2005 Cleanse the area with a facial cleanser, then pop the pimple using two cotton swabs. But only do this if the pimple has a big, puss-filled whitehead. It's the best way to pop a zit because it doesn't tear much skin off.

on 11/22/2005 Calamine lotion dries out the pimple and makes it smaller. With a cotton ball, dab a little all over the pimple until it's covered. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash it off.
