How can get rid of my acne, blackheads and dark acne scars?
Hi I’m a 14 year old boy. I still have a little acne and blackheads. And my acne scars won’t seem to go away. I tried exfoliating my skin using Neutrogena Deep Clean. What should i do?
Reduce My Acne Scars – 3 Tips
The ingredients you are going to need are lemons, tomatoes, mint. As you can see, all of these are cheap and very easy to get hold of, with most people having these in their kitchen right now.
1. Apply tomato juice to the affected area in the late evening. Leave this solution on your skin overnight and then wash off the residue in the morning. The citric acid and vitamin c in the tomatoes will help keep your skin bacteria free, also helping your skin to rejuvenate.
2. Lemons can be used in the same way, applying the juice to your skin in the late evening, then washing away in the morning with clean warm water. This works in exactly the same way, keeping your skin clean and helping the skin cells to rebuild.
3. Apply fresh mint to your acne scars. This has been shown to be beneficial at reducing the size of them in some people. It is very easy to make a paste, with finely chopped mint and a few drops of water. You can also add the fresh mint to a small drop of tea tree oil, and applying to your scars before taking a bath.

i heard rubbing thin slices of potato on your face works but if you have it severe you should go to a dermatologist
1. Wash your face every day. You can use regular soap, but they sell special kinds of soap to get rid of the oil in your pores. Here’s some examples:

2. Use an astringent after washing. That will help remove the reside and oil that the soap leaves behind. It also removes a lot of the redness from swollen pustules. Put a reasonable amount of the astringent onto a cotton ball (you don’t need to soak it). Rub it in small circles all over your face and let it dry.

3. Apply a substantial amount of honey to your face every few weeks and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Honey is a natural antibacterial that will get rid of blemishes, sore spots, and scars.

4. Having long hair will contribute greatly to your acne. If you can, keep your hair out of your face and the number of zits near your hairline will decrease. I personally let my hair grow out to about 3-4 inches, my acne near my hairline was terrible. Then I got a buzz cut, and now I get zits near my hairline about as often as anywhere else on my face.

5. Change your pillowcase often. Think about it; your face is pressed against it for a little less that half of your life, so lots of oil builds up on your pillow.

Good luck!
I am totally agrees with nukoca’s answer but in addition to his answer you can use the all those herbs which purify your blood as one of the main reason of acne is unclean blood.You can use Burdock root tincture. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) makes a pleasant tea that can be consumed throughout the day. Milk thistle seed (Silybum marianum) can either be taken in tincture form or the seeds can be ground up and eaten in combination with hot cereal, granola, or other foods.
If you have scarring due to acne then it’s probably something you need to treat with more than just a deep clean scrub. Acnezine is your best bet. Read about it here: http://www.healthpros.co.cc/reviews/acne/
Mild antibiotics that are available only by prescription can help reduce acne. Keep in mind though, that the widespread overuse (taking antibiotics when you really don’t need them or for something they don’t treat) and misuse (not taking medication for the specified amount of time) of antibiotics has led to the development of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria. That means that the antibiotics won’t work for the things they used to (including your acne).
Keep hair off of your face if at all possible. If you want to keep your bangs, then consider taking showers regularly or keeping your forehead clean with oil-dabbing cloths / clean tissues / etc.
Get good sleep. Stress increases your skin’s oiliness, which, combined with sweat and dirt, can clog pores and cause pimples. (Change your pillowcase frequently.)
Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications time to work — about one to two weeks — and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin.
Good Luck…
don’t spend a lot of money on products, most of which don’t work. keep your face very clean. drink plenty of water (that really does help), and talk to your doctor about it. that is the person you should listen to, and the person who can give you the best advice.
