Acne/clogged pore home remedies!?
Try this I think this is the solution to your problem.





For products.Try the excellent formula of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Originally formulated for dermatologists, it is now recommended whenever the mildest cleanser is required-


I personally use it daily.





I still have pimples though I'm well over my teen years.Even with all the acne-preventing products in the market I still find myself having breakouts, either occasionally or regularly. While acne is not a serious skin condition it causes loss of confidence. After all, complexion is one of the first things people notice about me. Somehow, other people also associate a pimple-ridden face with being untidy.





Well all I can suggest if you have any acne problems, are these zip-zapping sites:

Reply:Yeah...ok...don't listen to the dumb urine thing. I'm a CNA and that will make it WORSe and you spell like piss. So what you do is listen to your first answer....but the scrub should be St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It works miracles and helps your skin tons. And if you are sensitive skinned, you should get some Cortozone cream and after you get out of the shower and/ or wash your face, put some on your T-Zone. It helps tons...good luck.

Reply:sorry about the overnight remedies they dont work overnight. I know I have tried. What works though to clear the skin tea tree oil steam baths to clean and open the pores and then doing a face mask to get rid of other bacterias.
Reply:the julip mask is not harmful..although it will suck all the grease to the surface making it worse before making it better. Like losing weight there is no overnight miracle...although it is very simple....You have very open pores...when you shower.....let your face get very warm (not hot) with tthe water...then with a gentle scrub....SCRUB....when you are done rinse it with the warm water..repeat if you want...but when you are about to exit the shower.....run cold water over your face *to close your pores* just keep your pores clean...after a bit it should do the trick.
Reply:Well my sister- in- law uses urine for her acne..i know it sounds gross but urine is sterile and of coarse you use your own. it's one of those old school hispanic remides...she swears by it... good luck
Reply:I have used the Mint Julip Mask overnight....with fantastic results. I use it whenever I have a huge breakout. Just leave it on overnight and wash off in the a.m.





If you have blackheads, try mixing in baking soda into your regular cleanser. This acts as a soft scrub for your face.


By the way, mix in with your shampoo for a clairifying shampoo.
Reply:Facial turmeric powder (kasthuri manual) – 1 spoon, honey – ½ spoon, few drops of olive oil, curd – ½ spoon, table salt – ¼ spoon. Mix these items to make a paste and apply on your face. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html
Reply:I use calamine lotion because it works really well for acne and inflammation. Just apply it on your skin before bed and wash it off in the morning. The CVS brand works just as well as brand Caladryl. You will notice a difference in your skin after the first night. Check out the attached link for what others think. Good luck!
