Make sure that your makeup sponges and what not are clean, wash your face two times a day- don't over wash it will just irritate your skin. I've heard the tooth paste remedy too, I wouldn't do that personally though. I would visit a dermatologist if you are able to because they can help you find something that works and will hopefully keep the acne from reappearing. Also, it might just be your hormones. If you are close to your menstrual cycle you might just be breaking out because of that and regular cleaning will help keep oil away. Be patient and gentle on your skin.

Toothpaste on the pimples!

Also, Murad acne spot treatment is wonderful.

Just keep your face clean...Cetaphil for normal to oily skin is a good cleanser- my dermatologist told me to use it...and use an oil control moisturizer!

And drink lots of water!

Well, i'm not sure about anyhome remedies, i've heard about putting toothpaste on your acne but i wouldn't try that. There this thing called Proactiv Solution. It really works I use it every night and day, i don't have as much acne as a started with before i tried this treatment.

Do you use make up? Sometimes, make up cause pimples. Especially old make ups. Sorry- just keep wash your face every morning and night. I hope it'll go away soon :)

you can put toothpaste on them, it'll shrink them down some and drink PLENTY of water everyday!!!!

Use plain white toothpaste to dry out pimples overnight. Rinse off in the morning.

Always wash face twice a day. Never sleep in make-up.

Use a face wash especially made for acne.

Keep excercising! Sweating helps remove the icky dirt built up in your pores. Just make sure you clean up afterwards!

If you're really worried I would visit a dermatologist for help.

Hope this helps!

Zits, pimples, Etc. are caused by eating alot of Junk food. so try eating healthiear for example Fruit, fruits have Antioxidants %26amp; vitamins which is a very good thing to maintain good skin health. Or whole grains because grain fibers flush out toxins to help skin clear. try staying away from Caffenie (like Cofee, Tea, Colas, %26amp; energy drinks), Sugar(candy, soda, desserts, %26amp; syrup), Processed foods(like hot dogs, canned soup, Tv dinners, %26amp; instant noodles), %26amp; Greasy foods ( like chips, Fried Foods, Fast Food, %26amp; Margarine) because all these foods cause Acne.

Don't stop exercising! Exercise is good for the body; it helps flush out some of the toxins that can cause acne. You should also invest in a good acne cream or face wash, and talk to a doctor or dermatologist.

1. Wipe your face with a warm wet wash cloth only in a downward motion so you don't push any thing on you face into your skin.

2. Dab each pimple with white toothpaste and leave on until you wake up tomorrow.

3. Wipe off with a warm wet wash cloth in a downward motion.

4.Apply visine to red spots.

5. Moisturize with a moisturizer not hand lotion.

Don't wash your face with soap, you'll break out and your pores will get large.

If you don't have white toothpaste then a clay mask will work. Even dry oatmeal mixed with a little water (enough to make a paste) will work.

Good luck

Stop the craziness w/ the toothpaste!!! It so makes your skin too dry %26amp; causes more breakouts %26amp; oiliness!!!

Ok, this is one of the best remedies because it is ph balanced %26amp; out of balanced skin will break out. Baking soda used as a facial scrub %26amp; final rinse when you are cleansing your face. I use this will my clients %26amp; I recommend they do it %26amp; they love it. Results are amazing.

Change your washcloth and pillow case often . Bacteria can linger and cause breakouts . Check out Aveeno's bar for oily skin . It's widely availible and not so expensive. Find a light oil free moisturizer to balance your skin out.

You can get some calamine lotion (only a couple of dollars) apply it just to the zits and let it dry overnight . It's antiseptic and takes the red down.

Drink more water to help flush your skin . Wash your face a couple times a day when the oil gets bad. You can also dab zits with witch hazel to dry them up.

Try to eat a balanced diet and add some fresh fruits and veggies if you can.

If you've switched shampoos switch back .

You can also balance your skin by mixing 2oz water with two ozs milk and a quarter cup of oats. Apply it once a week to sooth and soften your skin.

Good luck

buy oxy ointment (there are wipes and cream, don't get the wipes get the cream, its in a little bottle and it comes either transparent or tinted) i once had a huge pimple like bigger than anything else to the point where i had to start covering it with a small bandage, and then i started using oxy and it started to get smaller then eventually disappeared. also, no scars or marks were left, you cant even tell i once had a huge pimple. and dont pop your pimple, a scar might be left

Hey Jessica, the main questions should be what do you use to wash and moisturize your face? Make sure you are using something designed for your skin type and, this is VERY important, stay with one line for your entire cleansing routine. If you choose something like neutrogina, then use all neutrogina products. Don't use something like an oil of olay cleanser and a neutrogina moisturizer because it will put your face's ph out of balance. Also, try using a specialized toner, like Mary Kay's oil control toner on your pimples. This product is amazing and I have many teens who are using it. If you're in the GTA, drop me a line at darrel-marykay@sympatico.ca and we can get together to discuss yoru skin care needs.

BTW, eating greasy foods do not cause pimples. Pimples are usually caused by hormones, impurities in the skin or stress.

I have severe acne and scar easily too. So I feel your pain. I found this website, and they have essential oil blends that they tell you how and what to mix it with to help heal your acne. That one is oily on your face, but it really works! And the other one is in the free recipe section to help get rid of acne scars. That one really works, but you don't see the results over night... you have to be patient. It worked on me, and my face was pretty bad. On that same page, they also have acne mask.
