How can I get rid of my acne by paying $30 or less?

My mom is a cridic when it comes 2 me. I’m an average teen who get’s acne. I have average skin, not 2 oily, but not 2 dry. I have so far black heads on my nose and the occasional red bums on my nose and cheeks right by my nose. I alslo get it on my forehead. I barely have any whiteheads though.

I looked at the neutrigena skinID test and it cost $50!!! I’m considering proactive, but does it work that well?

Plus, any home remedies would be awesome 2. I’m willing 2 spend up 2 $30.

Really doesn’t sound as if you have “acne”. Just pretty good teenage skin. Home remedies: Ok so this may seem weird but once a week dissolve 2 uncoated asprin tablets with as little water as possible to make them into a gritty mixture, then and honey and cover your face with it. Keep it on for around 5minutes then scrub it off. Then use a moisturiser afterwards. Most people find this really works for them, but some people find it does nothing. Targetting spot gels (like Freederm) are great for whiteheads and pimples but won’t do anything for blackheads. For blackheads you can get blackhead strips for your nose and they will remove any exsisting blackheads. Then get something like a blackhead toner/lotion that all you have to do is apply with cotton wool twice a day. You don’t need to wash it off and I find this waaay more practical. Hope this helps x

Answer #2

those bijore strips, not sure if its the correct way to spell it but they work really well expecially for the nose area. For black heads, you need to pop them, they are stubborn. The way you do it is that you need to take both index fingers and pinch as normally but first you need to push down and then out like a scooping motion with both fingers pushed togther. They sale extractors at some beauty stores, just ask!

Answer #3

from what im hearing I dont think you have acne…maybe im wrong, you might have got medicle advice. try using Freederm it works REALLY well and I would definetly advice it to you. what you should do is, use a face scrub twice aday and apply the spot cream after, but only put a fin layer on so your face can still breathe, the scrub will open the pours and then the spot cream will clear the spots. hope I helped ! x

Answer #4

Proactive depends on a lot. Some people it works but some .. It qets worst. I had a lot of acne too & I used clearasil ultra. It works reallly qood, you should try it :D
