for household acne treatment:
-toothpaste.i know that sounds weird but using toothpaste actually works. you apply it to the affected area and leave it on over night. just make sure it kinda dries before you go to sleep. [i recomend using regular colgate or colgate whitening]
-oatmeal mask. cook oatmeal and when its WARM put it on your face.let it dry.then wash it off. do this 1 or 2 times a week
-also,drink lots of water. 8 glasses a day.. because acne starts inside your body, not on the surface of skin
-[i know this isnt something you can find at home] but dont touch your face. there is so much dirt and oil on your hands and when you touch your face it rubs off making acne worse. i know this is hard if you touch your face alot and i used to do it alot too and i found out it caused alot of my acne.
i tried this and it worked..draw X's on your hands so whenever you go to touch your face you see the X and you remind yourself not to.its actually kinda hard but its really worth it
-also dont squeeze ANY pimples or acne you have. squeezing them actually makes the acne worse and can leave scars. when you squeeze the acne it pushes the dirt deeper into your skin making your acne worse.
-if youre a girl and wear makeup look for makeup that says "noncomedegedic" [[i cant spell it but look for a word like that]]
-cucumbers.you can blend them into a paste and put it on the affected area. it soothes your skin and releases any irritation from acne
