Acne Remedies
I don't know if any of these suggestions works or not, but I read in a magazine that if you get a pimple, rub a paste of baking soda and water on it at night to dry it out by morning. And also, the eye drops product called Visine gets the red out of pimples. Squeeze a drop directly onto the pimple.

I think I've heard that about baking soda before. I've also heard that applying tooth paste to the pimple at night makes it dry out too. Not sure if any of those works either.

When I was a teenager someone told me about toothpaste and I tried it.
I think you need to use a certain type of toothpaste, or one without certain ingredients though.
When I tried it, the toothpaste made it worse and I never bothred to try it again. I don't remember what kind of paste I used now though, it's been soo long.

That's good to know about the toothpaste, that it didn't work. And I always wondered too, what kind of toothpaste to use, maybe just the white toothpaste, I don't know. Here are a few more acne home remedies I found on the web...

Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes, then wash.

Rub the acne with garlic cloves several times a day.

(I wonder who would be brave enough to do that one!!)

Oatmeal? I've never heard of that one...

And garlic? I don't think I'd like to go around smelling like garlic!

I've never heard of the garlic remedy, but I have heard of the oatmeal treatment, I've never tried it though. Here's a couple more...

Eat a medium grated radish with every meal. (Now I could do that, radishes tastes good, especially the hot ones).

Proactiv. I have heard that this stuff really works, well, Jessica Simpson says it does anyway. But I think it's kind of expensive, like $50 for the product.

I keep seeing this Acne Free commercial on TV advertising that they are half the price of Proactiv and works just teh same. Not sure if it works or not, but they say they are cheaper!
