I've heard that tooth paste and rubbing alcohal are home remedys for acne, but do they really work? Also, do you know any other ones and do you know any DIY (Do It Yourself) face masks or just something that's good for the face...thanx to anyone who helps!
~Much Appreciation~

I have heard that crushing aspirin and mixing it with a few drops of water (to form a paste), and using it as a mask, is also effective since it contains salysilic acid. One thing I've heard works really well is apple cider vineger, mixed with tea tree oil. You put a drop or two of each, and cover the area with a bandaid overnight. That supposedly dries up pimples well. When I have pimples, I put on a few drops of tea tree oil on a cotton ball, and add a bit of water to it (plain tea tree oil dries out skin). That also works well to disinfect the area and dry out pimples.
These are all pretty good ideas, especially using tea tree oil, as it is also a natural antiseptic. But the best thing is to remember not to touch or pick at the pimples, as the bacteria will only cause them to get bigger, and they may end up scarring.
