Answer:
1. Daily regular wash with cleanser (Velocity by Mary Kay; Neutrogena products) 2. After washing with warm water, pat dry, and then put a cold, wet towel on your face to close your pores. 3. Put your acne medication/gel on 4. Moisturizer/toner ***Garnier Dark Spot Remover works well for removing dark spot and acne scars!*** For acne: -I use a clindamycin gel, it's a prescription though and you would need to talk to your doctor about it to see if it would be alright for your skin, too. -Try hard boiling an egg, then once you take it out of the water, slowly peel off the shell and there is this thin white filament that can come off. It is on the inner side of the shell. Peel that white skin off of the shell and put it on your problematic acne. Leave it on there, until it dries onto it. Then, keep it there for about 30-1hr if you're in a hurry, but best if kept on overnight. This should do the trick! It worked for me, but many people have different skin types. But just give it a try :) Good luck! -***Grinding orange peel and adding a bit of water to make into a paste is an excellent home remedy for acne! Just make the paste then put on affected area, leave on for about 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm or cool water. Do this daily, or every other day. I have been using this for about a week now, and on the first day, you will already notice dramatic softening of your skin. By the third day, your acne will already begin to reduce. The Vitamin C and slight acidity in the orange is what helps with the reducing and clearing of the acne. Some other natural masks that help with a variety of slight skin problems: To Brighten: Cut a slice of ripe papaya and remove the seeds and pulp (save the pulp for a snack later-it's great for digestion). Rub the inside of the papaya peel on your cleansed face, focusing on lines around the mouth and eyes, crow's feet, thinning temples, neck and hands. Let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with tepid water. To Exfoliate: Combine 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp olive oil. Separately, prepare a packet of plain oatmeal, using less water than called for so it forms a thick paste. Next, add the honey and olive oil mixture to the cooked oatmeal. Apply as a scrub, gently rubbing it in small circles over your skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. To Cleanse: Combine 1 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt with 2 tsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp lemon oil (not to be confused with lemon juice; lemon oil is an essential oil that can be found at health food stores). The mixture should be a little bit runny but not easily poured out. Massage it over skin, then immediately wipe it off with a washcloth soaked in tepid water. To Lift & Tighten: Combine 2 Tbsp plain yogurt with 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (the juice of one lemon) and apply to your cleansed face and neck. Let it dry for 20 to 30 minutes. You'll feel the mask tighten on your face and neck, which creates a lifting and firming effect. Leave it on longer (up to one hour) for even more face-lifting effects. Once done, rinse with tepid water followed by a cool rinse. To Tone: After cleansing your skin, brew a cup of chamomile or green tea and allow it to cool. Then soak two clean, round makeup sponges in the tea and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place one on each of your eyes for 15 minutes. To Soothe: Combine 2 Tbsp honey with 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Apply to your clean face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with tepid water followed by a cool rinse. To Moisturize: Macan-Graves recommends oatmeal and fennel to help moisturize dry skin. Grind 1 Tbsp oatmeal in a blender and set aside. Add 1 Tbsp fennel seeds to 1/2 cup boiling water to make a tea. Allow the seeds to steep for 10 minutes; strain the seeds and discard. Let it cool down to room temperature and then combine 1 Tbsp of the fennel tea with 1 Tbsp ground oatmeal and 1 Tbsp honey. Apply the mixture to your clean face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with tepid water followed by a cool rinse. To Brighten: Combine 2 Tbsp sour cream with 2 Tbsp honey and 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Apply to your cleansed face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with tepid water followed by a cool (not cold) rinse. Instead of making a natural remedy check the ingredients on acne products to see how natural they are. NOXZEMA original deep cleansing. You can get it at walgreens. Read the reviews on its website. Its been around for a long time so it must work on your skin too. By the way it costs $5.49 and just because its not expensive like proactive or other fancy acne products doesn't mean it doesn't work.

To get rid of black heads use Plain natural yogurt and table salt. Mix 3 spoons of plain natural yogurt with 1 spoon of table salt. Wet your face first with luke water than use this paste to exfoliate your skin, especially the areas where you have the blackheads. This gets rid of them and it also closes the open pores you have. Do this 3x's a week you should see great results after the 1st application. Also do a plain natural yogurt mask to clear your skin from pimples and blemishes. This is using only plain natural yogurt. Apply it on your skin as a facial mask and leave it on for 30-45 minutes than rinse with luke water and pat dry. This will definitely clear your skin. Do this 3x's a week as well. You can alternate w/ the other remedy. Also if you can try to use a Vitamin A moisturizer, this helps improve your skin, making it flawless!

Well, I had acne problems and I looked at home remedies for it. A few I have found that seem to work a little are: Honey Toothpaste and Ointment such as Neosporen However, My zits just kept getting worse so I finally went to the dermatologist. He told me that Zits are strictly hormonal and that the type of food you eat, how much you sweat, how oily your face is, what products you are using does not effect your zits. You get zits from a change in hormones such as stress or just the age you are. At one point I was using proactiv to fix my acne problem but it didnt help. He told me that my proactiv and other home remedies wasnt potent enough to treat my acne so he prescribed me some prescription ointment. I was worried about the cost but my insurance covered it and I only had to pay like 10 bucks which was wayy cheaper than proactiv and better than any home remedy. To top it all off my face is clearing up after just 5 days. I suggest you ditch the home remedies, make sure your insurance covers it and go to the dermatologist.
