what are your best homemade acne remedies?
for the most part, i have totally clear skin if i stick to my skin care routine, but every once in a while i get really deep, painful zits usually on my nose, but i can shake them in a day or so. i got one the other day on the side of my nose, and it is so big and ugly and painful and i cant stand another second with it. i've spent the past hour trying to make it at least hurt less, i've done 2 face washes, 5 scrubs, a mask, my wave, a spot treatment, an i even tried toothpaste, and it looks no different. i cant go to longs or anything anytime soon and i need it to be gone by tomorrow or i'll go nuts, so i need a really good, fast working homemade acne treatment, does anyone know one? also, i only need one or two, so dont send me to a site with over 100 or anything cuz then i'll just get confused. and dont make them too weird, make the ingredients stuff i would have

Wash your face 3 times a day, and the last time, at night, leave about 30 minutes before you’ll get to bed. Wash your face that third time and then rub some sugar on your face as if you were washing it. Leave it on for about 20 minutes, and then wash your face again. should be gone within a month. Oh and ALWAYS WASH YOUR FACE WITH COLD WATER. Warm water opens up your pores and dirt and oil just creeps right in. I shave with cold water too.
This isn’t a quick fix method, but it should take care of the problem in general. So maybe do this in addition to your quick fix method.

I’m so old and useless that even my pimples left me for someone younger. I used to love to squeeze them. The flying pimples that hit the mirror were really nice, but my all-time favorite zit was inside the curve of my outer ear. It was elliptical due to the confined space it was in, but it was my biggest pimple ever. The first time I squeezed it, there was an enormous outpouring of pus, and a great relief, but the greatest thing of all was the sound it made. Remember it was in my outer ear.
I squeezed it every couple of days, and I really liked it, but it was healing gradually, and every time I s

you should use olay regenerist cleanser to clean you face
and then you should mix aloe vera with a cream which contains vitamin E
then after 3 mins put large amounts of aloe vera where you have pimples ( at night)
