Water
Tue, 02/15/2011 - 08:59 — AnonymousDrink plenty of water. Its always helped me. hasn't your skin ever felt clammy after drinking lots of pop ext. I feel it just clogs your pores and contributes to infection in them. try not to touch your face, wash to much, and try and shy away from having to use any lotions, most all have chemicals that dry you out and become habit forming.
Acne Cure
Mon, 04/25/2011 - 00:17 — MeganLynnIf you get acne frequently due to oily or dirty skin, try rubbing alcohol. My family has done it forever and I've noticed a big difference because the alcohol dries out my pores. I do not have chronic acne so this trick works for the occasional break-out as well. Apply rubbing alcohol on your skin using a cotton ball, make sure to get the areas that are mostly affected. If your skin becomes dry afterwards, try using facial lotion, but do not be excessive.
*warning: if your acne is caused by dry skin, this may not work as it will dry out your skin even more.
