steam your face twice a week.Home remedies to get rid of acne and blackheads!?
If you are using products that contain benzoyl peroxide, or are using a combination of products like toners (the blue liquid stuff), or other acne pads, etc, you may be over-drying your skin.





Acne skin looks oily and most people who suffer from it and blackheads tend to over-dry their skin with these products. But the problem is that your skin's reaction to over-drying is to just produce more of its own oil!





The secret is using a product that is very gentle and doesn't dry, scrub, or try to over-medicate your acne. It will take time to heal and the less you pick, the better! Also, at night, try using regular petrolium jelly (Vaseline) mixed with water on your fingertips. Use it around your mouth, chin, and forehead. Don't goop it on, but just enough to moisturize. Believe it or not, Vaseline is some of the best and most gentle moisturizers out there (and it's cheap!)





As for cleansing, I recommend ';Shu Eumura - high performance balancing cleansing oil.'; I tried this product a couple of years ago and still buy it today. You can get a sample at some high-end beauty supply stores, and they will explain to you how to use it. A bigger bottle costs about $65 but it lasts 6 months or so. It does not dry your skin and leaves it clean, smoothe and moisurized. It's also very simple to use because it removes makeup, washes, and moisturizes.
Steaming your face only opens up your pores, allowing even more dirt and oil to get in.





You can steam your face, put a biore nose strip on the affected areas and put some ice or cold water on to close the pores.





For acne, you can do a aspirin/ honey facial.


Get three aspirins (non-coated), a few drops of water and a few drops of honey. Scrub into your face, let it sit for 15 minutes and wash off. This is a great exfoliate, getting off the dead cells will help you prevent acne. It also leaves your skin smooth and reduces swelling of the acne. Do not use ibuprofen or anything like that. Just aspirin.





Pineapple juice and honey


Honey is used often, because it's a natural moisturizer, toner and also helps treat acne and blackheads.


Put a hot towel on your face for a couple of minutes, then at the last minute,


Heat up honey in the microwave for about 10 seconds and add a couple of drops of lemon or pineapple juice.


Put the honey/pineapple juice mixture smooth onto your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.





Steam your face before going to bed, and create an egg white and lemon facial mask with one egg and two or three drops of lemon.


Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning.


This might make you peel a bit, whenever your using lemon or anything acidic for that matter(including aspirin), and it may leave you sensitive to the sun. Buy Cetaphil- it's spf 15, and it's a great moisturizer.





Just a few examples.


Look up more if these weren't good enough, there are a lot more to choose from depending on your skin type! =]
I put toothpaste on my acne. Dab just a little bit on the pimple, leave it on for seven minutes, then wash with warm water. It works! It dries out the pimple and it makes the swelling go away. but that's just me. I dont know if it works for other people. :)


good luck:)
