Are there any ways to get rid of acne without store bought stuff?

drink lots of clear fluids - water, tea - and wash your face frequently with a non-colored, non-scented soap. also i have heard that toothpaste, tea bags, prep H, honey, and bananas work for removing the redness and reducing the acne that is already there.Are there any ways to get rid of acne without store bought stuff?
Popular consumer items such as Proactiv and other hygienic products that are available in todays market are somewhat effective,but there are natural and inexpensive ways to maintain a clear complexion. Most important is your diet. It's true that you are what you eat! If your diet consists mainly of sugar,sweets,and oily foods,then you should stay away from food and beverages that contain these items. You don't have to avoid sweets and desserts all together,,just enjoy them with moderation. Another important factor is getting the right amount of sleep. There's no actual scientific proof to back this up,but on occassion,when I stay up late and get only a few hours of sleep,I wake up in the morning with a blemish. This happens almost every time! And just about every person that I've known or met,they'll always say something like,';Man look at this zit!'; ';I think I stayed up too late!'; Personally,I think it does help when you get enough sleep. The practice of good hygiene is also a good idea. Mainly keeping your hands clean and washing them regularly. Most people tend to touch there faces after having eaten a greasy burger and fries. Or even wipe their face or mouth with a dirty napkin or rag. For me,the most effective method is getting a nice clean washcloth,with warm to hot water,and wipe my face slowly with a certain amount of pressure applied to make sure it grabs any dirt and grime. Mainly after playing sports or other physical activities,and definitely each night before I go to bed. I have always been a firm believer in natural methods,and I have never used any synthetic or artificial products as a remedy for acne. These products may even be more harmful than helpful. I see many people,mainly teens,that rely too much on these products. Yes,some are very effective,but they have to continuously be used. If these products were really useful,you should be able to use them a few times and have positive results. But as soon as you stop using them,';BAM!!';,you're right back where you started,a face full of zits. Everyone has their own methods and solutions,and everyone will tell you what is the best way to a clear complexion,so just experiment and see which works best for you. As for me,I chose natural.Are there any ways to get rid of acne without store bought stuff?
oh god... someone said proactiv when you said, ';w/o store bought stuff';





Anyways... I am a sufferer of acne and all those cleansers will just irritate and dry out ur skin anyway.





1. make sure you are drinking plenty of water. If your urine is yellow, you arent drinking enough water. You need to drink eight glasses so your urine will be clear. If you drink water, you skin can get rid of the bacteria and icky stuff thats clogging the pores.





2. natural stuff such as garlic, strawberries and lime can help. Grind about three cloves of garlic(take away the peel) and put that paste on your skin for only about five to ten minute. Its kind of strong so try for as long as you can stand it. Or if you dont like garlic, smush up maybe 3 strawberries. Put the paste on you face for ten minutes. When you wash it off you can scrub and the seeds act as an exfoliant. Lastly roll a lime or lemon to break up the pulp inside and cut it in half. Rub one of the halves against ur skin and the acidic juice and help clean out the infection or dirt clogging your pores.





3. Wash you face with just mild soap and warm water and rinse with cold. Your pores dont actually open and close because of temperature, but the warm and then cold water does control your oil and sweat glands.





4. be sure to avoid picking or touching your face during the day time. Wash your face as soon as you get home. try to keep hair away from the face or where ur acne is as well.





5. Relax. if you stress too much, you may break out more.





Good LUCK!

The store bought stuff may work for some with mild cases, but if you have chronic acne that doesn't respond to it...you need to try other avenues. Proactiv is in my opinion nothing special. It contains benzoyl peroxide, which is in Oxy and other cheaper brands. The gentle solution of Proactiv contains salicylic acid which is in clearasil. Nothing special.





You need to make sure your diet is a healthy one. Drink tonnes of water. Look into herbal remedies. http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_ac鈥?/a>
Eat really healthy, and keep your hair out of your face( the oil from your hair blocks your pores). Take a daily vitamin. Use face blotting sheet ( made by clean and clear) if your face gets too oily, and wash your face twice daily with a mild soap. Keeping up a regular routine of all of this will help clear up your face, you just have to be patient, it wont happen overnight.
you have acne beacuse of clogged dirt and oil. a good start would be to drink lots of water and to wash your face about 3 times or more daily. i dont suggest popping your pimples but dont let ***** pimples build up on your face. it doesnt help. get a warm washcloth or tissue and press on your face until the puss leaves. After that just keep washing it until it clears up. however u may need to see a dermatologist. (if you want to use products i suggest using clearasil-- ive tried proactiv and clearasil products are the only ones that work for me ) good luck! =]
Here are a few tips to reduce acne. Wash your face at least twice a day with some kind of anti-bacterial soap. If you exercise and sweat try washing your face after that as well. Also avoid touching your face as much as possible as it gathers oils and dirt from your hands on your face.
oddly enough, chlorine is good for getting rid of acne... swimming in a chlorinated pool helps... else, it would depend. Watching your diet might help as well... oily foods like peanut butter, chocolate, and greasy foods will break you out....


try combinations, or consult a dermatologist...
Babe, people will give you these googled answers that don't work. The only thing that I have tried and that has worked as been imported creams from China. If you'd like I can give you the info(I got it off Ebay). I had acne back when I was younger and it was the only thing that ever worked.
lemon juice is good for old acne scars,





if u want to treat existing acne a natural way then tea tree oil is really good. Also exercise and cut out some sugar and oil from ur diet. Don't cleanse ur face more than 2x a day. And try not to stress out.

Acne can be viral or bacterial and has to be treated with medications, such as acutane or other topical creams. Not all acne is the same and not all acne can be controlled or treated thoroughly with other meds.
probably not, you'll have to buy something from the store. My son read online that if you put plain yogurt on your face (not the flavored ones or with fruit) and let it dry overnight, it helps acne. I don't know how true it is.
Well, you have to wash your face if you want to have any prayer of having clear skin, and soap comes from the store, so I'll go with no.
try lemon

The best natural ways to keep healthy skin is to watch your diet. Depending on the foods you eat can determine how oily your skin can get.
Depending on how serious it is...a little dab of toothpaste can zap a zip. If it's serious, though, seek a dermatologist.





Good luck!
hhhhhhmmmmm borrow some of your moms scrubs for her face or something. use clean and clear or proactiv.





Use it when you get out of the shower because then your pores are open.
Toothpaste.


The kind in a tube. Put a dab on the acne before you go to sleep. It'll dry it up pretty fast.
Wash your face as often as possible and avoid from rubbing and touching your face!
toothpaste remedy


Doesnt work for me but dab a little on the acne and rinse it off tommorw morning.
I've heard of people using toothpaste (the white kind not the gel) on pimples but I don't know how effective it is.
Someone told me that slicing potatoes and laying them on your face clears it up.
lemons and eggs,


they work quite well when put together actualy.
wash your face with a rag and soap and wash in a circular motion dont do to hard tho
Proactiv!
S.O.A.P. shower every once in a while
