Help! I need acne remedies fast!?

[me]

Okay well, I just recently ran out of my acne medication so I told my parents to call the doctor so she could re-fill my prescription. So my mom called and told me that the doctor said I need to make an appointment since it's been a year. She set up an appointment but its not until the 28!!! Its been a week since I haven't used medication but i still wash my face and I'm all ready breaking out!! What are some home remedies I can use to help get rid of it a little?? Thank you so much.

Toothpaste.
Salt, or a swim in the sea.
Open them first.

Use the inside of the tomato, the watery inside with the seeds. My cousins used this and all their blemishes were gone plus its risk free, you don't need to purchase expensive products from the store. Try it and it works you will feel the sting right when you put it on.

Go to local super markets and buy something called clearasil. They are expecially for spots and acne, and they worked quite good for me.

OK, Go get Neutrogena Deep Clean. And I think u know how to use them, and then get Oil-Free Anti-Acne neutregena and put it on the acnee spots. The Unti-acne one looks like http://images.buzzillions.com/images_products/01/45/neutrogena_oil_free_anti_acne_moisturizer_reviews_1097650_175.jpg

it happens to me all the time and what i do works! put a little bit of toothpaste ( of any kind) on the pimple before bed- if it isn't gone by the morning- it should of really shrunk! once its a white head- just get rid of it! you can try for a couple of days until its really gone!

hope it works out until that doctors appointment!

I use toothpaste, but it has to be the white kind. Witch Hazel is also a good way to help get rid of them, use ice to get the swelling down.. You can also use sea salt, it comes in a cardboard milk type thing lol.

Try washing your face with soap and water or get a daily cleanser called cetaphil,or rub salt on your face and rinse with water,or try the recipe below.If nothing works I'm really sorry!
1. Use cold water. Fill an empty 1 gallon jug with water and put it in the freezer for 2 hours. Pour the water into a bowl, then dip your face in the water for 25 seconds (5 dips for 5 seconds each). Repeat a few times every day.
2. Make a soap mixture. Put a bar of soap in a small container. Boil a cup of water and pour it over the soap in the container. Close the container and keep it shut for at least 2-3 hours or until the soap dissolves. Wash your face normally and make sure it's dry and not oily. Get the mix that is in your container and spread it around your face; be generous while applying. Let it dry. Then wash your face out very gently using a face sponge. Do this 1 to 2 times a day, but no more than two because then your skin might over-dry and peel.
3. Create a face mask using a solution of one finely crushed aspirin tablet per tablespoon of cold cream. Spread over your face, wait 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
4. Mix 2 teaspoons of pig lard, 2 teaspoons of bacon grease, 1/2 cup of apple sauce, and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. You should have created a thick creamy substance. Baking soda and water will also work.

1. Rub on your face, neck, and back in full motion circles that will allow the cream to get into your pores.
2. Let this sit on your face for around 10 minutes.
3. Wash off with a washcloth drenched in ice cold water.
4. Repeat 1-2 times a day, until your zits are gone!
5. Make a strong acne solution by diluting 50% apple cider vinegar with 50% clean pure water. Once acne has improved, keep it at bay with a milder solution of 20% apple cider vinegar and 80% water. Do not use cheap vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is about $3-4 for a large bottle at any supermarket (more at health food stores). It will last months.
6. Put on mint toothpaste to help dry up pimples. Wear it overnight and wash it off the next morning. This is a classic home treatment.
7. Use hair conditioner. Not many people would expect this, but it works very well to clean out and NOT irritate the skin. Rub it on any area affected by acne. If the area with conditioner on it gets itchy, or for any reason you are compelled to touch the area, refrain. Do not touch it. Leave the conditioner on the affected area for approximately a half an hour. Then, when the chosen time is up, wipe it off gently.
8. Try chili peppers. This sounds counterintuitive, but chili peppers help reduce the swelling of a pimple due to its high concentrations of vitamin C and antioxidants.

1. Wash your face thoroughly.
2. Crush a chilly pepper into a bowl or similar container.
3. Add a small amount of hot water.
4. Apply the liquid to your pimple(s). You may apply it with a q-tip, but do this at least twice a day. Avoid getting the liquid in your eyes or near sores and lacerations as it will most likely cause irritation.
9. Try swimming! The chlorine in the water dries up acne. Be careful, though. Too much pool water can damage your hair and dry up your skin too much. Once a week is usually enough.
10. Get a bunch of lemon juice and pour some into a bowl. Submerge your face in the juice for as long as you can, then dry off with a soft towel. The stinging feeling means it's working.

I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.

I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.

I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.

Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem dot com at the time which was helpful.

You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.

Well good luck and best wishes.
