1. stop touching it.

2. after washing your face, apply some honey on your face for about 15 minutes (it is anti-septic).

3. After washing the honey off - you may want to put some pure lemon juice from a fresh lemon on some cotton and clean you face with it. Leave it for a few minutes.

4. wash again

5. apply some oil free moister so that your skin won't crack and dry.

 

Try to cut off the following food :

White sugar, white flour, alcohol, fried food, chocolate, and try to relax Wink, acne is the body's way to get rid of its' "junk". stress is a bug "junk" creator...

 

Good luck

I found that when I had a acne problem growing up not much luck with anything got rid of it, until one day I started using Luva Soap and it got rid of the problem for a long time, it dries out the skin that is why it is used for cleaning hands of grease, oil and all types of hard to remove things. My daughters used it when they were teens and from time to time now, they are in their late 20's and still have outbreaks. Don't use it regularly once the acne is under control, once in a while is good to get a deep clean.

Good luck and hope if you try this it works for you as it did for my family and I.

Just read a book called the Clear Skin Diet. In it, the authors found some studies that show certain nutrients play a significant role in reducing acne.



For example, in one instance, the authors found a study in which a combination of fish oil and Gamma-linoleic acid prevented acne causing hormones as well as a prescription called Zileuton.

In another instance found in the book, it stated that:

"A synergistic combination of vitamins A and E was employed with a high degree of success that it eliminated the necessity of antibiotic"

Interesting stuff. Actually what got me looking into this is a website I stumbled across:

www.clearskinsecret.com

I found it thought-provoking and made me go out and find out as much as I can about nutrition and the relationship to acne... and I have some suspicion it might be the authors who are promoting this!

After reading that site, then buying the book, I've come to the conclusion that some nutrients and vitamins can actually help your acne, while others like Iodine may (or may not) cause more acne.

Some other vitamins found to be effective against acne are:

-Chromium
-Selenium
-Zinc
-Vitamin B
-Probiotics
-Natural anti-oxidants

I've found that after eating these vitamins consistently while eating a balanced, dairy-free, sugar-free diet my acne significantly improved. That's just me - I hope it will help for you.

Hope this helps.

Owner of Acne Skin Guide, an acne treatment and acne product guide, offering real, factual articles about acne.

To find a great home remedy for acne, you need to understand the basics of acne treatment. Acne starts due to the overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands.

Preventing the accumulation of bacteria on the skin as well as using herbal remedies that prevent the overproduction of DHT are keys to preventing acne.

I do recommend a skin cleansing system that held our interest through both its quality of ingredients and safety record, since no customers complained of side effects. The ClearPores System is composed of deep facial and body washes, a herbal supplement and protection creams for face and body.
