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

xo_dream answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 1:03 am: 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.

snowwalker69 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 11:06 pm: 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. [ snowwalker69's advice column | Ask snowwalker69 A Question ]
princs answered Sunday August 22 2004, 9:23 pm: 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! [ princs's advice column | Ask princs A Question ]

o6o_tinkerbell_o9o answered Sunday August 22 2004, 8:34 pm: 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
Rockwell888 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 7:58 pm: 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?

BedBum9146 answered Sunday August 22 2004, 7:29 pm: 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 [ BedBum9146's advice column | Ask BedBum9146 A Question ]
xoWiLdnPiNkxo answered Sunday August 22 2004, 7:04 pm: 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 [ xoWiLdnPiNkxo's advice column | Ask xoWiLdnPiNkxo A Question ]
