Getting Rid of Existing Acne

Here are some great tips and home remedies on getting rid of acne you already have.

Keeping the skin of the face as dry and clean as possible. Washing the face carefully and gently twice a day with an anti-bacteria soap. Using a light, non oil-based moisturizer on the face after each washing. Avoiding cosmetics that contain synthetic chemicals and vegetable oils. Keeping hair clean and off the face. Avoiding picking at or touching blemishes. Avoiding pressure on irritated skin from tight collars or head-gear. And using over-the-counter products that contain sulfur plus resorcinol that can be applied to the skin to unclog pores and heal acne. To dry out a pimple overnight, try using toothpaste (not gel) directly on the zit. This should help dry it out overnight. A great face mask is to use the white part of an egg and apply it to your face for about 15 minutes. The vitamin A in the whites is also good for your skin. The egg white is also a great overnight remedy, but just use a Q-tip to dab on the egg-white directly to the pimple. To rid redness from an inflamed zit, use visine eyedrops and apply to the red spots. Another way to get rid of redness: try hydrocortisone cream or pop two Advil.
