home ingredients to get rid of my acne

I am 14 and play sports. I try to wash my face at least twice-a-day. I still break out, and it is very embarrassing. I want to feel confident about my face. What is something i can do to help my acne. I heard there is certain things that i have around my house that i could use to help cure my acne, for example toothpaste. Is that true? If not, what are some things i can use around my house to help do so. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hello,
Some of the outrageous home remedies I heard of was: preparation H (haemorrhoid cream), your own urine (nasty one), visine (supposedly this one really works to get rid of the redness), toothpaste and salted water.

My advice is to have a dermatologist examine your face and he/she will be able to assess what creams are best for you. Then you won't have to deal with them anymore because you will have the proper treatment in avoiding them all together. By using stuff around the house, you really don't know what will work and you might even worsen the zits. So to be on the safe side, I would book an appointment asap. As was mentioned in one of your other replies, DO NOT PICK AT THE ZIT no matter how gross it is because then you WILL SCAR! Hope this helps!

I don't recommend using toothpaste on acne prone skin, toothpaste contain ingredients that can irritate the skin. There are inexpensive over-the-counter acne treatments that can help treat your acne. Benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid and sulfur are the most common over-the-counter medications used to treat acne. Each works a little differently. These medications come in many forms, such as gels, lotions, creams, soaps or pads. You will find these at your at your local drugstore or pharmacy.

If you don't notice an improvement from the over-the counter products after 6 to 8 weeks, consult a dermatologist for a proper treatment.

Hey there! Um Honey is supposed to be really good.
Tooth paste works, because it soaks up the oil on your face, however it will leave your face rather dry. I reccomend that one of the best over the counter products is Clean and clear, theres a three step one that works quite well, but unfortunately I can only buy it when I have money, and that isnt very often. (I'm 16)
Or use anything with Benzoyl peroxide.
Hope I helped!

Seriously, some people might think this will make your skin worse or sounds totaly crazy but rubbing alcohol really works. It clears the skin really good.

Oh and I just remembered sea water does absolute wonders. If your near an ocean take a dip. In a day or two your skin seems clearer but the next day it goes back to the way it was previous to the dip, so you have to do it regularly.

using egg whites is a good mask to use. milk is sposed to help your face too. i use these regularly and my face has improved. a steam once a week helps. an herbal tea bag put in the steam helps too.
