Use alcohol on your face everyday.. 2 to 3 times... My daughter has acne real bad.. I've been having her to do that and it's helping to clear it up

Can it be used for types of skin?

[Peanuts825]

Just rubbing alcohol... you can buy it anywhere, it's cheap.. 50%Isopropyl Alcohol first Aid Antiseptic, it don't mention nothing about acne on the bottle.. it says it's good for minor cuts, scrapes, burns.. but it works on acne really well.. it opens the pores.. Good Luck, hope it works for you to ;)

What the case for severe acne tis comes or increasing more in sun or summer with more acne with reddish rashes in faces... dont know how to control this

Have you been checked for lupus. This sounds like the classic butterfly rash associated with lupus. It could also be rosacia, a dermatologist would have to diagnose this.

[Holistic Doctor]

I agree with J_9 that it could be something other than just acne if it is photosensitive and increases if you go out in the sun.

You should have it checked by a doctor, if possible.

In the meanwhile, you could follow these general rules for reducing acne:

Reduce oiliness of the skin by using a medicated soap.
Remove blackheads regularly (do no squeeze out unripe follicles!)
Eat a well-balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Avoid fast foods and junk foods.
Avoid chocolates, nuts, fried and fatty foods.

As a home remedy, you may try this:
Make a paste of 1/2 tablespoon honey, 1/2 tsf each of turmeric and ginger powders.
Leave it on overnight.

If it is acne, it will reduce with this treatment.
If it doesn't reduce, you will know it is something else!

I will try out with is ideas...


All people says avoid chocolate I don't know how this chocolate works for getting acne??

Actually it is not diet that causes acne according to the most recent studies. It is genetics as well as cleanliness.

I disagree with the alcohol advice as alcohol is drying. You could end up looking 50 when you are 30. The oils in our faces help us to look younger longer. I, for one, am 44 and have the complexion of a 25 year old due to the increased oil supply on my skin.

This may sound very weird but try vinegar and salt

It isn't the best remedy but it dried up mine in one use so if you continually use it like 2-3 times a week it should help.maybe.

But beware it does make your skin dry so make sure you have a moisturizer also

1. Squeeze the juice out of fresh lemons or limes.
Apply the juice directly on your acne scars using a cotton ball. Let your skin soak up the lemon juice for a while before washing it off with water. Lemon juice improves the appearance of dark acne scars and blemishes by lightening them.
2. Mix sandalwood with a few drops of rosewater to make a paste.
The sandalwood and rosewater paste can be used as a facial mask and can be directly applied on the scarred area. Leave the paste on for more than an hour. Wear it overnight if you can. Wash off completely with water. This is an effective method of acne scars treatment because of sandalwood's soothing and cooling effect on the skin.
3. Slice up a tomato and place it over your face.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A that hinders overproduction of sebum that causes acne. Vitamin A also has antioxidant qualities that refreshes and renews scarred and damaged skin.
4. Olive oil does not only improve the taste of food, but can also improve the appearance of acne scars.
Massage olive oil on the scarred skin. Olive oil has a moisturizing quality that softens the skin's texture and reduces visibility of acne scars.
5. Honey is another natural moisturizer that can help in treating acne scars.
You can use honey as a mask or orally take a specially formulated honey acne scar treatment.
6. To treat acne scars, use this mixture as a face mask:
1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, and a few drops of lemon juice. Pat the mixture onto acne scars, leave on for 10 minutes, and rinse off.
7. A popular way of how to treat acne scar is to use a face mask made of tomatoes and cucumbers.
These two combined can greatly reduce the visibility of acne scars. Using a tomato and cucumber face mask also tightens the pores of the skin giving it a nice, even texture.
8. To get a quick relief from acne scars.
Rub some ice cubes in a pack on the affected area. This soothes the irritated skin and also shrinks the size of pores.
9. Fenugreek is an effective solution to how to treat acne scars.
You can make a paste out of fenugreek leaves and use it as a face mask. You can also boil Fenugreek seeds in water and use the solution on acne scars after it cools down.
10. Lavender oil
Saturate a cotton ball with a few drops of acne-fighting essential oil such as lavender oil. Apply it on acne scars at least two times a day.
11. Use cucumber juice or fresh cucumber paste as a face mask.
Cucumber soothes inflammation, refreshes the skin, and heals acne scars.
12. Egg whites are a cheap yet effective way of how to treat acne scar.
Dab some egg whites onto acne scars using a cotton ball and leave on overnight to prevent acne and treat acne scars.
