Acne


Question Posted Sunday August 22 2004, 6:21 pm

Ok, I have a problem lol. School is starting in a few days and I have acne. It's not that bad but it is in a way lol. What are some ways to remove or cover the acne on my face? I hear that toothpaste and nail polish remover works but could you explain to me how to use it on my face with good details? I'll rate you because I know the answers will be long. Thanks

By the way, I have tried Pro-Active and Natures Cure and they work but the acne just keeps on coming back..

You said those two things work -- does it come back after you stop using them? Because, yeah, it's usually reeeeeeeally helpful to keep using it after your face has cleared up. Otherwise, see a dermatologist + they can help you out.

I use the brand Neutrogena .. it worked great for me .. but all brands work differently on everyones face.. but it cleared mine up soo fast!! all my friends use it now too .. but it drys ur face out . so u shud also buy a daily moisterizer if u get it !! good luck! hope i helpedd..

and if u dont want it to keep coming back wash ur face daily and eat healthier food not greasey and stuff like that ..

Hey there. With the toothpaste, before you go to bed at night, dab a solid color (no gel) toothpaste on just the pimples ... not all over the skin because that will dry it out. With the nail poilish remover just dab it on the pimples with a q tip. Make sure none of that get in your eyes or in your mouth. ummm ... always wash your face in the morning and night ... morning to get all the grime and shit out of your pores, and at night to wash off dirt/grime/make up. Oh, and use a gel, moisterizing soap. Try St. Ives Clear Pores soap, or Mary kay Velocity facial cleancer is excellant.

Dab the toothpaste on before you go to bed. Dont use too much, just enough so it covers it but not so much that you can actually see the toothpaste. Keep it on over night and by the morning it will be pretty dried up.
I would not suggest using nail polish remover on your face. That stuffs wayyyyy too strong!
hope i helped!

Hi.. Toothpaste does work just don't over do it.. and when it starts burning wash it off.. Ive never heard of using nail polish remover... Also you can buy other products at the store.. and if it still doesn't come off, use makeup until it does go away if your that embarassed about it.. Use a coverup that is your skin tone... alright bye

Talk to your dermatologist about Benzaclin! Before, I would always ask questions about acne on advicenators but now that I have Benzaclin I don't need to! The acne goes away in like 2-5 days! Btw, how old are you?

my friend did a science fair project that if you put packing tape ( the clear stuff ) it removes the oil off your face also, ask your parents if they will get you a prescription from the drug store... that stuff usually works

acne's yucky, that sucks, just try toothpaste it drys it out but don't use it like every day because eventually sometimes it'll make your skin flakey and gross. use it maybe 4 times a week (once a day). I havnt heard of using nail polish remover.. When you put the toothpaste on your face leave it on there untill it starts to irratate your eyes and burn them..when it does start to burn quickly wash it off! hope it helped hun! xoxo
