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!! :( :confused:

I'm 14 years old to and toothpaste is the worst thing you can ever use it does nothing good to your face one evry good product is practive if you can tfind it in stores then you can always order it off line and I'm telling 100% it works!! Just one thing plezz don't do is try to squezz out your pimpels because if you get it infective it is so nasty so try that product it workss
Search on the web for it to find any more info that you need

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.

I noticed a few blackheads on my face one night in the bathroom mirror. I began to use my fingers to speeze them out. Some were so deep that noww I have about 8-10 scabbs on my face. I tried to cover the with makeup and it helped a little. People keep asking me if I have the chicken pocks including my doctor. Im so embarrest I try my very best to stay at home most of the time. Im 29 I'm to old for this! Someone please help this picker!
I will ne3ver do this again, I knew better. Does anyone out their have a quick remedy for scabbs and sores of the face. And does anyone knoe how toget ride of black heads.

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 recommend that one of the best over the counter products is Clean and clear, there's a three step one that works quite well, but unfortunately I can only buy it when I have money, and that isn't very often. (I'm 16)
Or use anything with Benzoyl peroxide.
Hope I helped!

Thank you for your kind advice i will try just about anything at this point!

Seriously, some people might think this will make your skin worse or sounds totally 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 supposed 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. :)

I completely agree. Do not use toothpaste, it does not work.

If you have acne, then you can go to a doctor/dermatologist and they will suggest products that will definitely work.

Hiya :)
I have a friend just like you, who is very sporty and suffered from quite bad spots and she went to the doctor for medication and since then they have really cleared up!
When I get a spot, I tend to put sudocrem on it, and overnight it reduces to half its size, or disappears so I would recommend this although it only works on certain skin types, and different things work for different people
Drinking lots of water supposedly helps, and I use lots of tea tree products on my face, such as a night time treatment gel, and a peel off face mask, which have helped lots.
Hope I helped :)

Breakouts! Everywhere my back arms face and chest! They are really bad anyone know what I can use? *** I'm only 13 I need serious help! I'm tired of feeling emmbarrased :( anyone out there no anything? Please! Please! Help me :'(

This will take care of all sorts of skin and acne. Use unflavored jello, you can probably get that at most grochery stores and milk. Any kind of milk, doesn't matter which kind it. Then use a table spoon for both ingrediants & ster it really good until it looks abit dry. Then dump it into a microwaveabel cup & leave it in for about 10 seconds. It should look abit gooie after that, then just use a foundation brush. One that you will not miss & just apply it too where ever you'd like too remove dirt & oil. Wait for it too dry, you'll know when it's done when you can't smile. :) Than just peel it off & you can see what you got off. It's a pore strip. Works really well! So please, try it. Thanks & Enojy. :)

All you need to do is either get 2 or 3 eggs and crack it open then stir it up then get a rag or a sponge,or a little cooking brush and just put it on your acne problem.

And also leave it on till it dries

Sugar solution,the more the sugar the better. . very very good results. . time to clear is 1-2weeks!

Sugar solution. . thar more the sugar there is the better. .

Tea tree oil is pretty good for blemishes, dab it on your spot(s) before bed.
If it doesn't work go to your doctors and ask for some 'Erythromycin' tablets
They're really good, I took them and 2 weeks later my spots vanished and my skin looked A lot better, but after about 5 week, your spots MIGHT appear back on your face again so make sure you always get another box of tablets!
After you took a box of tablets wait 2 weeks before you start taking them again or they will stop working..
I hope this helped
Thank you

Thank you a lot :)

I need help finding home ingredients to get rid of acne

Proactive or X-out is good. Look up the ingredients in X-out and buy some stuff. Great for acne.

Sorry its Proactiv without the e

You could try using whisked egg whites (do not use the yolk) with a drop of lemon juice. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and rinse. The egg whites will tighten your pores, and make your skin really soft and feel really clean. The lemon juice will help lighten the scars.

Hello,

You should use a gentle face wash
Don't use a face wash that contains an acne fighting medicine, because that'll irritate your skin too much. The cleansers that contain a medicine irritate your skin too much and they aren't as effective.
Regularly wash your pillow cover and your bed sheets
The baking soda is coarse and you don't want to damage your skin. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
Don't talk or move your face too much because it will crack as it starts to dry and that can leave a mess.
The only problem with this is it purges your skin of toxins making you break out at first (but it's totally worth it once you make it through because your skin is so soft and all the spots and scars are gone) so if you are trying to get clean skin fast for a date or something you might want to wait until after to start the coconut oil.
Hope it's help for you...

I am 13 and well I have an acne problem too , so you are not the only one..
Tooth paste does take away acne, because it has a certain chemical inside which makes it go away I haven't done it but my friends have and it really works trust me..
