What Homemade Recipes Can You Use To Help With Acne/Blackheads?

Im A Teenager... Going Through Puberty But I Didn't Think That Acne Would Be This Much Of A Problem For Me. My Case Is Pretty Mild But I Still Find It You Know Difficult. Soo I Was Wondering If There Was Something That I Could Use On My Face That I Could Make Myself. Mainly I Want To Clean Out My Blackheads (On My Nose) And My Forehead Has A Few Breakouts Of Pimples. Please Im Pretty Disprite And Ill Take Any Suggestions lol =] ThanksWhat Homemade Recipes Can You Use To Help With Acne/Blackheads?
For a while, I whipped up egg whites and used them as a mask - massage into face, then leave for a few minutes, then rinse off. It helped a lot! Now though, I use medicated acne stuff. Another tip is to drink tons of water. Like 2+ liters per day. It really does help.





I also heard that you could put some toothpaste on a pimple and it will dry out. I haven't tried it myself though...





As for blackheads, I use Fresh Sugar Facial Polish from Sephora - it's a brown sugar scrub - (it's $55 but it's worth it and lasts a long time) and it really helped me. I rarely have blackheads now. I'm sure that you could make a little brown sugar+water mix every night and use that, but the scrub I recommended is probably better...all natural too. It smells great too!





There are also Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips that you stick on your nose that will get rid of the larger blackheads. They're pretty cheap, around $10 for a pack of 14, and are quick, easy ways to get rid of blackheads. I don't use them anymore because I personally feel that it might be too harsh for the skin, which is why I use the Fresh Sugar Polish, which is more gentle and all natural as well. But every now and then I buy a pack from a local drugstore (Walmart, Target, etc) and they're pretty fun to use.
