I need a natural acne home remedy that won't hurt.

Rubbing garlic on my face, using lemon juice, putting oatmeal on face all have bad side effects for acne. Is there a natural remedy that's easy to use and won't make your face red, irritating, dry and won't hurt? Please answer because I have suffered acne for more than 3 years now and I have an extremely oily face.

CryThank you.

I found an interesting website at:

 www.clearskinsecret.com

 It claims to have natural nutrients that cure acne.  Haven't tried it, but let me know how it works!

 

go to a dermatologist. they actually do help. try getting zoderm and adult acnomel (acnomel has sulfer in it so if you're alergic to it forget using it), specifically ask for it.  I've tried all the over the counter stuff, and it always dried out my face, made it worse, did nothing for it, or made it itchy and irritated. ive had acne for 6 years and i only just forced my mom to take me to the dermatologist about 2 months ago.  my face was miserable. my cheeks were covered in acne and nothing seemed to work. i noticed a huge difference in my face within a month, and now there's barely any acne, only a few pimples on my face.

    * Mix oatmeal and natural yogurt and apply on your face for a few minutes. When you feel the mixture dries on your face, wash it with warm water.
    * Drink a lot of water during the day.
    * Eat many cucumbers during the day in order to keep your face acne free.
    * Drink warm water with lemon a few times a day.
    * Eat healthy food; make sure you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.
    * Take a cotton pad and dip it in rose water, clean your face with the rose water a few times a day to get better looking skin.
    * Take one lemon and squeeze its juice. Apply the lemon juice on the acne pimples and leave for 20 minutes. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. If your skin stings from the lemon, wash your face before the 20 minutes are over.
    * Apply garlic cloth on the acne to make it heal faster.

If you cant handle my truth then you better not ask.

scrub with sugar with a bit of water, otherwise take a salt bath, soak for 10 mins and when you get out put on a mild lotion like aloe vera

 

Instead of adding more to your intake, how about adding less processed or greasy foods. Go for more raw green leafy vegatables. Add plenty of water to your diet 8-10 cups a day. Sauna's can also help detoxify your body and clean up your face. Also - excercise! I found that using a mini-trampoline everyday makes a huge difference! They say it will give you a facial, I believe this to be true.
