Get Rid of Existing Acne

Here are some great tips and home remedies on getting rid of acne you already have:

• Keeping the skin of the face as dry and clean as possible.
• Washing the face carefully and gently twice a day with an anti-bacteria soap.
• Using a light, non oil-based moisturizer on the face after each washing.
• Avoiding cosmetics that contain synthetic chemicals and vegetable oils.
• Keeping hair clean and off the face.
• Avoiding picking at or touching blemishes.
• Avoiding pressure on irritated skin from tight collars or head-gear.
• And using over-the-counter products that contain sulfur plus resorcinol that can be applied to the skin to unclog pores and heal acne.
• To dry out a pimple overnight, try using toothpaste (not gel) directly on the zit. This should help dry it out overnight.
• A great face mask is to use the white part of an egg and apply it to your face for about 15 minutes. The vitamin A in the whites is also good for your skin.
• The egg white is also a great overnight remedy, but just use a Q-tip to dab on the egg-white directly to the pimple.
• To rid redness from an inflamed zit, use "Visine Eye Drops" and apply to the red spots.
• Another way to get rid of redness: try hydrocortisone cream or pop two Advil.
