You should wash your face in the morning and at night, and avoid wearing make up. you should also use a face wash in the shower, and ive personally found that toothpaste works good on making pimples shrink. Just put a little on each pimple before you go to bed and in the morning wash it off =]

Crack and egg and spoon out the yolk (yellow stuff) and throw it away or cook it or whatever. Then stir up the left over stuff till its frothy (bubbly and watery -not so gooey).
Then open your pores using a hot face cloth or sticking your head over a pot of boiling water.
Plaster the Egg White all over your face and use it as a mask. leave it on for 10-20 minutes (depending on how long it'll dry). If its itching and you can feel the tightness then its working!
have fun with it. Its free and simple.
The egg has proteins that are needed in your skin so by applying it to your face your putting that protein back and making your skin healthier. [ carayotie's advice column | Ask carayotie A Question ]

LOL_x0x answered Friday July 6 2007, 1:11 pm: I just got this really good facial soap bar.
It's neurtogena, and it's in a white & orange box, and it says 'for acne prone skin'. Like I said, it's in bar form.
I don't have major acne or anything, but I get the occasionaly pimple and whatnot and that soap works really well. =]
Also, put toothpaste on the pimple or whatever it is and it helps to reduce redness and shrink the size. Good luck!
