Getting rid of Acne


Question Posted Tuesday March 13 2007, 2:46 am

I don't usually get pimples, but when I do, it's minor.. just a couple of small ones on the t-zone (usually when I get my period).. but lately I broke out more than usual because of high stress levels (loads of research) and since I'm about to get my period. It didn't help that I popped a couple of them- now tiny ones are popping up. I'd say i have around 5 or 6 pimples (small to medium).

My question is: what's the most effective way of getting rid of Acne? I'm not interested in using proactive or something of that sort since Acne isn't usually a problem for me. I'm more interested in home or herbal remedies that work for occasional breakouts like the one i have now .

Thanks!

I've had really bad acne before... And I tried everything... Including ProActive.

The best thing you can do is go to a dermatologist. A dermatologist will know what's best for your skin... A lot better than anyone else.

Before you start worrying about the cost of medication... Or that the doctor will put you on some type of antibiotic... Or heaven forbid, Accutane... Relax. It sounds like your breakouts are minor. A dermatologist would probably prescribe some type of medicated gel or cream to apply to your face maybe once or twice a day. If he does, ask for a generic brand. Generics are just as good as name brands, but a lot cheaper.

Well, what you have isn't acne. Acne is a serious skin condition. What you're experiencing is a bit of a breakout... most people with acne would be thankful to have only 5 or 6 pimples!

Apparently another home remedy is to put a dab of toothpaste on your pimples overnight.

Crush an aspirin and mix it with a bit of pure lemon juice until it makes a semi-thick paste. Place a small amounth on each individual pimple. Leave on for twenty minutes and then rinse with warm water.

I've read that in several health magazines and the pimples are supposedly gone the next day.

Another thing that works is to boil a pot of hot water and mix in some real mint leaves. Then, hover your face above the steam and it will help reduce the size of your pores as well as clear up blemishes.
