   Honey is a soothing skin treatment and a natural moisturizer. Many people find that it is very effective when used in a natural skin regimen that is aimed at removing blackheads and improving the texture and look of the skin. You can use ¼ cup of honey each night as a facial mask. Wash your face, and then apply the honey evenly to the surface of your skin. Leave in place for 20 minutes and then wash your face thoroughly with warm water.

   i use bestbathstore.com soap. if you look in the acne section, there’s a bar soap and i cut mine up into small chunks so that i can get more uses out of it.
   i only bought the soap, but with every purchase, you can pick 5 free samples! and the samples are pretty decent sized (except for the acne toner, which didn’t do anything much for me)

   i recommend buying the soap, and getting 2 samples of the gel and 3 samples of the dead sea salt scrub. the dead sea thing is amazing! and leaves your skin feeling so soft and you get like 7 uses out of each sample.

   Run out of shaving cream to shave your legs? Use hair conditioner. It makes legs nice and smooth too.

   rub cucumber peel (wet side up) on your face and leave on overnight to cure acne(submitted by visitor)

   (visitor recommendation) ~ For the smoothest skin ever… trust me I have psoriasis and it is nearly impossible to find a moisturizer that works… after a shower or bath spread vaseline over your entire body (or wherever you wish) , it’s a very greasy feeling but be patient. let it soak into your skin for about an hour or more if u can handle it, while sitting on a towel. this works so well that you only need to do it once or twice a month

   Ridding Scars
   Apply cocoa butter
   Apply Vitamin E

   Sunburn
   To help the peeling on your face after a sunburn, mix a tablespoon of sugar with a cleansing get
   When shaving your bikini line, make sure you lather the area with lots of soap before putting on your shaving cream. Go over each area only once to prevent irritation, and when you are finished put deodorant on the just shaven area (be careful to only get it on the skin). Bumps and irritation will be greatly reduced if not completely gone! (submitted by visitor)

   Dark Circles
   Dark circles under eyes – drink lots of water, sleep on 2 pillows, apply cold compresses.
   Sleep on several pillows to rid puffy eyes.

   Acne
   (submitted by visitor) I get rid of a pimple completely overnight, or about 1 to 2 days, (depending on how severe the blemish). Pop your pimple. by sliding the edge of something, across it, and poping it. Then 1/4 fill your sink with warm water, and pour about a half cup of salt to the water. Take a cotton ball or cotton square or round, and soak it in the salty water for about 30 seconds, moving it around in the water getting it good and salty. Take it out and squeeze out the water. Apply the cotton ball to pimple, and push down. if it doesn’t tingle, put more salt on the cotton ball. When it does tingle, push down for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, DO NOT WASH OFF THE SALT THAT STAYS ON YOUR FACE!!! Take Some honey and drop it on a Q-tip. Apply honey to pimple and leave on for 15 mintes.After 15 min is up, rinse off with water. Then apply a dab of toothpaste and leave overnight… That’s it!!! Odd i know, but i works!! (submitted by Tiffany R)

   To zap a zit overnight, apply toothpaste to the area before bed

   To rid redness from a big pimple, pop 2 advil; it gets rid of the inflammation

   Also for pimple redness, apply visine eyedrops

   Take an egg and crack it over the sink and let the white of the egg go into a bowl; use the white to dab on your pimple. Leave on overnight or for 20 minutes. It should help suck out the nasty stuff in that pimple

   I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.

   I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.

   I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.

   Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.

   You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.

   Well good luck and best wishes.

   A couple of weeks ago my mom who is a nutritionist suggested i was my face with an olive oil mixture. I have really oily, broken out skin so i thought "no way in the world am I going to put more oil on my face!" It sounds really really gross, I know. About two weeks ago I broke down and started doing it, and it has made my skin so soft and NOT oily. With your dry skin, this method would be great. Around your nose, however, i would DEFINITELY use tea tree oil. This oil has great antiseptic propeties and will dry up the pimples. I use it full strength all over face once a day after washing with olive oil. This may be a bit strong for some people. Diluting it with water will fix any irritations. I have used proactive, and it sucks. It dried out my face and made the acne so much worse. I wanted it to work so badly. I do not promote any kind of face wash anymore, no matter how gentle. Here is the website for the olive oil wash. PLease give this a try even though it sounds horrible! http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com
