Mon, 04/27/2009 - 19:06 — AnonymousHello,
I suffer from acne, on my face and chest.
i was looking at different home remedies, and i couldnt find one that worked so i decided to combine a few.
Wash your face usuing just soap and warm water. Get some lemon juice, doesnt have to be fresh, put some on some cotton wool. And dab affected area.
It help to strech the skin and get the lemon juice into the affected pore.

Anti-Itch

Grated potato poultice
Mon, 03/23/2009 - 14:29 — AnonymousPotatoes have very powerful absorbing qualities. I know when I'm making soup, if I add too much salt, I can just cut up a potato into large chunks and toss it in.

Goat's milk recipe
Thu, 03/19/2009 - 14:02 — AnonymousAfter suffering for acne for my entire adult life, I one day decided I would systematically figure out what helped and what didn't.
