   The tricky part about acne is that the problem can
   actually become worse if you overmedicate. That’s
   because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing
   a boost in your skin’s Sebum (oil) production. This
   results in…you guessed it – more acne.

   So what’s the long term solution? Find gentler
   solutions or even natural acne cures that won’t
   shock your body into more breakouts.

   Here’s what I recommend…

   Glycerin based facewash:
   Glycerin is gentler and will balance the
   pH levels in your skin.

   Antibacterial Soap:
   For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap
   to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry,
   switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to
   counterbalance the effect.

   Don’t Overwash:
   Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently
   pat dry with a towel.

   Moisterize:
   Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based
   face wash drys you out too much. I like using
   Aveeno moisterizers personally.

   Change Your Diet:
   Eat almonds, fiber, drink lots of water and avoid
   excess sugar intake. Food really does make a difference.
   This is because the food you put into your body has a
   direct effect on your Sebum (oil) production. By eating
   the right foods, you’ll minimize oily skin, thereby
   preventing breakouts.

   Egg Whites:
   If acne medication isn’t working or causing new breakouts,
   try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed.
   This natural remedy works by gently drying out the clogged
   pores and clearing up the pimple.

   Oatmeal Masks:
   One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an
   "oatmeal mask". The oatmeal with smooth your skin while
   simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.
   Try this for a few days straight. Wear the oatmeal mask
   for 10 minutes, then wash off. You’ll have a nice
   glowing complexion right after.

   Lemon Juice:
   Lemon juice also dries up pimples and kills any bacteria
   in the infection.The citric acid also balances your skin’s
   pH levels to prevent future breakouts.

   Honey:
   Yes, despite your initial beliefs, honey is FANTASTIC for
   skin care. Actually, you may notice on many moisterizers
   that honey is an ingredient. Much like the lemon solution
   above, honey balances the skins pH levels. Test out this
   sticky remedy by dabbing pimples with honey and leaving it
   on for 5-10 minutes. You can apply full honey masks to your
   face but I prefer the oatmeal masks instead.
   They’re less messy.

   Have you tried putting a dab of toothpaste on the zit at bedtime? Leave it on until morning. They dry up and shrink overnight.

   I use Clinique Acne solutions spot healing gel. Its a little pricey but its so worth it. Also make sure you dont touch them or pop them. That will only make the blemishes last longer and scar

   I recommend Clearasil ultra or Oxycerin to treat acne and black spots. during the summer, use a lot of sun block and protect your skin at all times. if you have sensitive skin, don’t try the wave because it is known to cause irritation on sensitive skin due to the ingredients it uses. I recommend using a tea tree soap bar twice a day. Then after apply Tea Tree Oil. It is natural and the oil is an antiseptic so it kills germs on your skin.
