Get Over Acne!
Acne Treatment and Prevention

Are there ways to cure acne with things found in your house?

I knew of this one way that envolved honey and mayonnaise, but I lost the recipe. Do you know of any ways to cure acne with things you can find in your refrigator or pantry. Please provide where you got your source from, if possible.

1. You can take care of acne by changing your diet. Try eating less meat and start eating more fruits and vegetables. Also you might want to change to an all water beverage diet. Avoid all sodas. Only drink juices on occasion. I had a terrible acne problem up into my late 20's but after I changed my diet and started drinking water exclusively my acne cleared right up. Good luck and I hope this works for you.

2. rubbing alcohol- you should have that in your house its bought for cuts and scrapes and can work very well on acne too by drying it out.

you dont want to put food on your face! the honey and mayonaise would just make it worse

3. Yes, You can use toothpaste or hand sanitizer to dry out pimples. WARNING If you use hand sanitizer, it will sting alot. Sorry, I don't think you will find toothpaste or handsanitizer in the pantry :)

4. Try this website:

Go to the healthy living section, they have hundreds of recipes for skin and body treatments that are all natural and can be made usually with stuff from your kitchen.

5. Lemon Juice. Its acidic juice cuts the oil on your face which causes acne but don't use to much or your skin will dry out. Also, try using a mixture of oatmeal and alvacado as a facial mask for about 10-20 minutes; it exfoliates and softens your skin at the same time!

6. tea tree oil.
it's a natural antiseptic

7. Toothpaste..The white pasty kind not the gel kind!just dab it on and keep on for like 3 min....then wash off..Works great

8. i am trying a home remedy as we speak. i posted a question a while back and someone gave me a link to a home remedy site:
