    I used to be like you thinking I need to use 21727127 products on my face to get rid of my pimpley face back when I was going through puberty in gr 6, 7 and 8.

    I am in grade 10 now.. Pimple and acne scar free.

    What worked for me? Apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sugar and honey! Yep! You heard me!

    A lot of the products they sell in the stores always made me break out more and dried my skin out. When I heard I could use natural ingredients on my face, I figured.. hey why the heck not?

    After a few weeks of using natural ingredients, my face started to look better and better.

    So you want to know how I do it?

    PIMPLES & ACNE SCARS.

    Whenever I have a pimple, I ..

    1) Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar. It's recommended that you dilute your apple cider vinegar if your skin is sensitive.

    2) Hold the soaked cotton ball onto pimples GENTLY (don't press hard) for at least 5 minutes!

    3) Dab apple cider vinegar on your pimples through out the day.

    Results: By night time or the next day, your pimple should shrink or disappear.

    IF PIMPLES POP

    I use poleysprine on popped pimples to help with healing and reduce scarring. Sometimes pimples pop by themselves.

    ACNE SCARS.

    I do the same thing with my pimples. Throughout the day, I dab apple cider vinegar on scars. For acne scars, it will take a while to see results depending on how deep the acne scar is. I recommend you see a dermatologist if your acne scars are REALLY deep.

    CLEANING & MOISTURIZING MY SKIN

    1) SUGAR SCRUBS

    Mix olive oil, honey and sugar together. Once a week, I rub this scrub on my face in circular motion in the morning. It makes my skin very soft and extofilates my skin. I only do this once a week because I don't like to stress my skin too much with a lot of product. if you use more then 3 products on your face EVERYDAY.. Your skin will break out more and dry out.

    I ALSO USE THIS SCRUB ON MY BODY!

    I wash my body everyday with soap and water, then rub this scrub on my body in circular motion. I also change my shirt everyday. if you do this, you will see a dramatic decrease in body acne. (Provided you also use apple cider vinegar on body acne as well.)

    2) Olive Oil Moisturiser and Cleanser

    I have an oily face and I use olive oil! You'd think olive oil would make me break out more.. but it really doesnt! Olive Oil doesn't clog pores, it gets rid of makeup (yes, even waterproof mascara and eyeliner) and cleans your face of dirt.

    For a makeupless face:

    -I put a few drops of olive oil in my palms

    -I rub it on my face in circular motion for a few minutes.

    -I rinse it out.

    Feel your skin, it should be smooth!

    For a face with makeup

    -Put a few drops of olive oil in hands.

    -Put the liquid on your eyelashes with your eyes closed (im assuming you are wearing mascara and eyeliner.) and rub your finger that is soaked with olive oil GENTLY. You may need to put more olive oil if your makeup is stubborn. In the end, you should win this battle as olive oil is a great warrior when it comes to makeup removal.

    -Rinse it off.

    -Rub olive oil on face (if your wearing foundation and whatever crap is on there, but you really shouldn't if you have acne problems) for 5 minutes.. TWICE.

    -Rinse it off

    Done! Feel how soft and nice your skin is!

    And there you go! That's how I do it.

    Like I said, I used to have a really pimpley face and now my face is flawless.

    I hope this works for you. Please give it a few weeks before you say it doesn't work!

    Want to know what other natural methods I use?

    1) Natural Body Odour Fighter

    I have really bad B.O. Like REALLY BAD. How did I counter attack my bad odour? LEMON JUICE! After showering or in the morning, I rub a lemon slice on underarms and let it dry.

    You can wash it off, but i prefer not to (to be on the safe side.)

    Ever since I have started using lemon juice, my mother doesn't complain about my stinkiness filling up her van every day after school.

    Lemon juice will leave a weird scent behind if you don't rinse it off with water, but don';t worry! No one else can smell it unless they stick their hand on your sweaty armpit and sniff their finger. (I know this because my mom would tell me 100% if she could.)

    2) Sugaring (Hair removal)

    Sugaring is a different form of waxing. it is ALOT less painful then normal waxing. It's made out of sugar and water. There are tutorials on how to wax AND make this wax. It's so natural, you can eat it!

    The pain is a 6/10, and this is coming froma girl who falls to the floor when she stubs her toe!

    Google for a local sugaring salon near you.

    3) I use olive oil when shaving legs

    When I need to go somewhere and I don't have time for sugaring, i use olive oil as a substitute from shaving creams.

    When I don't shave my hairs.. I like to let it grow until I get it waxed again. I hate shaving my legs too much because shaving makes skin darker and gives you ugly stubble

    well first of all if the clean and clear is burning your face then you need to stop using it because it's too strong. I have sensitive skin and the same thing use to happen to me when I used acne related products. I've always found that acne products can sometimes make things worse and not better so my advice would be to find a good mild face wash, try Aveno or Burt's Bee's brands, both have natural and mild products. And only wash your face with a cleanser at night, in the morning just wash with pure water and that's it. Also look for a good face mask that you can use once or twice a week (Burt's bee's has a good green clay mask). This will help clean out your pores and prevent breakouts. This is all you really need to use (with a light moisturizer as well) because sometimes using too many or too harsh of products on your skin can cause more harm than good. As for the scars you can try putting vitamin E oil on them every night or tea tree oil. Both are known for fading scars and dark spots. Also there is a gel called Mederma that you can get pretty much at any pharmacy's that is for fading scars. I used it for awhile and it worked quite well.

    I got this tea tree facial wash from the body shop, it works really well to get rid of greasiness. You should wash your face every night with it. Before you go to bed put witch hazel cream all over your face. Use cleansing wipes everyday if you don't already and don't wear foundation, it may cover up the spots in the short term, but you'll end up with even MORE spots. Try visiting the dermatologist if you can afford it, because that's the best thing you can do, nothing will help more. Answer mine please?

    Hi,

    I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.

    In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.
