   It;’s the makeup that’s doing it. Try washing it off and then using like a cleaner on your face. Like 409 or even windex. Get one of those green scrubber pads for pots and pans, and scrub. Then put salt and le mon juice on your face (may sting). This should clear everything right up.

   Toothpaste works if you don’t have anything else. It dries out zits.

   I had the same problem during my teen years. It was so embarrassing for me and I can sympathize with your problem. I’ve noticed that I can avoid many blemishes by simply washing my face more often with a little soap and water. You just need to clean the dirt out of your pores to avoid blockage which causes pimples in the first place. Use less makeup. Hope this helps.

    toothpaste is a good home remedie.
    Make sure the products you are using contain No MINERAL OILS. That can be a cause of why your breaking out so, your skin cannot absorb mineral oil,so it clogs your pores making you break out.
    Dont use MAC makeup!
    and make sure you are washing your face with a good skin care product.
    I USE Arbonne International’s Intelligence Line it adjusts to all skin types. and is ideal for sensitive skin,its water based, and people with bad acne also can take the clear advantage acne supplement to help clear theyre skin up

    Good luck

    #1 DON’T SQUEEZE PIMPLES.. YOU CARRY MORE DIRT AND GERMS ON HANDS THEN YOU CAN IMAGINE..

    REMOVE MAKEUP B 4 BED..
    CLEANSE AND USE TONERS, AND A LIGHT MOISTURIZER DOESNT HURT EITHER..

    MOST OF THE TIME ITS WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY NUTRITION WISE THAT SHOWS ON THE OUTSIDE THE MOST THROUGH YOUR HAIR AND SKIN..

    SO EAT WISELY AND TREAT YOUR BODY GOOD!!

    Here is something to try, if you are really really serious:

    Eat 70% of your daily food as raw, ripe, organic, fresh, juicy fruits and vegetables. This will raise the PH balance of your body and it WILL improve your complexion.

    Cut down on meat, sugar, dairy and transfats.

    Cut out coffee, tea, cigarettes, booze, and highly processed foods.

    Get at least 8 hours sleep each night.

    Pick your favourite exercise and do it every day.

    Laugh lots.

    Throw away the heavy makeup…. you’re not fooling anyone. Wear a little concealer until you get used to being without.

    Use a little lemon (fresh squeazed) in your rinse water.

    Steam your face once a week with a little rosemary herb in the hot water. Pat with a very clean cool damp cloth.

    All the best!

    to get rid of the acne for real, you need to STOP WEARING MAKEUP for a few weeks. At least stop using foundation and let your poor polluted skin breath and have a chance to cleanse and balance its ph level.
    Also try washing with a gentle soap bar and dont use moisturiser or toner.
    it will work!

    try this mask,i did it on my boyfriend and it worked all the time,.the breakouts cleared up.
    blender 2 red onions,mix in a quater cup of carrot juice,2teaspoon of honey and 2 teaspoon of lime juice,a quarter cucumber all seeds removed and a quarter cup of neem leaves.Leave it to dry slightly then place in the refrigerator for ten minutes before applying on your face and neck for half an hour.Wash with lukewarm water and apply toner followed by moisturiser.
    do this once every three days if its your first time then after a month it should clear up by then.Do not stop there,,do it once a week to ensure that your break outs won’t come back.
    Good Luck

    I agree with washing night and day and mid-day for very oily skin or during bad break out times. These things must be done. I cannot use moisturizers, just a note. After washing plain old generic witch hazel is great and not too drying like rubbing alcohol. It will reduce the redness as well as combat clogged pores.

    If one is not allergic to aspirin, I suggest buying some willow bark from a natural food store and making a tea of it by pouring in hot water and letting it steep about 8 minutes or so. Then dab this on the acne morning and night until it’s gone. This is for the salicin which your body converts to salicylic acid. Many acne creams use synthetic versions which may be fine but the products themselves may have ingredients that worsen your symptoms.

    i wish someone had told me this in high-school: tanning. while isn’t not the safest thing in the world to do, it improves the appearance of your skin. go a couple times a week. after a couple weeks all my zits went away, along with skin dryness. if you decide to do this, use the upright beds and tan naked, no tan lines :D
