What is a good home remedy to treat acne?
ByI don’t have a very bad problem with it, but my little sister does, and I was just wondering what would be some home remedies we could try to fix it. She has very oily skin, and when she uses acne face wash her skin dries up. help…
I know this sounds crazy but use Head & Shoulders classic clean Shampoo.
It worked on me!
I had suffered from acne since I was 11 going on 12 (i’m 12 going on 13 now) and i read a blog online http://www.myhomeremedies.com/remedy.cgi… about using head and shoulders shampoo for acne and was confused. why use a hair product for acne? i found out the one of the acids in head and shoulders help get rid of pimples. but since my dad had head and shoulders, i used his and after the use, my face felt smoother and it felt like my pimples had gotten smaller. After using this for a week, most of my acne was gone! just a few small zits that blended in with my skin. now i use clearasil ultra to get that soft smooth look. thanks to head and shoulders, most of acne has gone away!

toothpaste.
applying a dab of say… colgate to a pimple. It helps the pimple dry out.
I’m not entirely sure if it works, but my boyfriend uses it all the time and he claims it has pretty decent results.

Some people say putting toothpaste on it (thin it out) will dry it but not too much, and will take care of it. However, for some people, it does dry it out too much, and some people have other complications with it. Still, i’ve had friends that it worked for.

try a gentler face wash but afterward slather on some oil-free moisturizer.

mix a little bit of milk in brown sugar. it should work as an exfoliating scrub. if that still dries her out put raw egg on her face for a few minutes, like a mask.

My skin sounds similar to your sister’s…and by accident, I discovered that Johnson & Johnson’s baby wash, the moisture care one–it’s pink and resembles the baby lotion bottle, is the best face wash! My acne is well controlled now, not over dried out or too oily.

If your parents have decent medical insurance, your sister can see a family practitioner or a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant. They are trained to treat acne without having to pay more for a dermatologist.
Benzoyl Peroxide is the same ingredient as in Proactive by costs 10X less than Proactive. Sometimes it can be irritating, however. Salysilic Acid is also good, but not as effective for bad acne as Benzoyl Peroxide.
Also, your doctor can prescribe Retin-A microgel 0.1%. It is a Rx med, and is expensive, and comes in a tube, but if you get a large supply such as a 90 gram tube, you can get it for MUCH less and with free shipping in large amounts, if you order it from CanadaDrugs.com.
Acne can cause low self-esteem and can also scar, so it might be worth it to see a doctor and get effective treatment if over the counter stuff is not working effectively.
Acne and Dandruff are sort of medically related problems, so it could be true that dandruff shampoo could help, but it also might irritate her skin. Do some google searches to learn more about what acne is and also the latest medical treatments. There are a lot of money making scams out there claiming to cure acne, but might do nothing except deplete your pocketbook, so check with a doctor before ordering "cures" online.

All I have to recommend is letting the shower beat down on your face when you shower; maybe you should be asking a dermatologist?
P.S., toothpaste wears the skin after a while, so don’t do that.

I have the answer for you. It works, trust me.
What you need…
1. Soft Soap: Pomegranit and Mango
2. Neutragena Wave
3. Neutragena Wave: Gentle Expholiating Pads
4. Pert Shampoo: Medium
5. Lubriderm Lotion for Normal Skin
What to do…
1. First, tell your sister to wash her hair with the shampoo evey night. Make sure she spends extra time on the parts of hair that are near or touching her face, especially if she has bangs. Oil from her hair could be contributing to her achne. It’s a huge factor. Also, if she straightens it or curls it with a curling iron a lot, that can create a ton of extra oil in a person’s hair which get’s on your face causing super oily skin.
2. Have her wash her face with the Soft Soap. It has to be Pomegranit soap. This brand tends to work the best, but if you would like another brand, be sure it has pomegranit in it. I’m not sure why, but pomegranit seems to work really well on achne. Have her wash careful and rinse all the soap off.
3. After she has rinsed the soap off, have her use the Wave. Have her spend a lot of time srubbing with it. At first it may feel uncomfortable on the pimps, but it will soon stop once they start to go away.
4. After she has finished with her shower or bath, have her dry her face and put on the lotion. It is best to do this before going to sleep. So the lotion has time to do it’s thing.
And, that’s how to get and keep super healthy clean skin!

Ask her to try this simple remedy. Wash face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap. The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
