Pimples
A simple soap and water routine can help dry out pimples. Make sure your child washes her face at least three times a day, with soap and water. If your child's skin is very oily, she should apply soap before wetting her face.
Camphor solution dries out pimples, and it soothes the skin. Keep a bottle handy so you can pat the solution onto the problem areas at regular intervals. If a pimple-head has already formed, put a hot towel on the pimple repeatedly until it comes out. Then pat on some camphor.
Onions are also useful in dealing with pimples. Cut a few onions and cook them in lard until they become transparent. When they have cooled, tie the mixture in a muslin cloth and apply it to the pimples in the form of a poultice.
Blackheads
Soap and water combined with a steam routine seems to be the best approach. Add dried lime flowers to a pint of boiling water and steam the face in this solution for 10 minutes. As a result, pores will open up. Press the skin around the blackheads with cotton wool or tissue. Then close the pores with an astringent solution, and wash with soap and water. A steam face bath with Epsom salts added to it is also effective. If the blackheads are still clinging on stubbornly, pat some almond oil on them and gently squeeze them out.
You can also try a solution made of 6 ounces of distilled water and 27 grains of soda bicarbonate. Rub this solution over the blackheads.
Milk also helps treat blackheads. Wash the face with warm water and then sponge it for fifteen minutes with tepid milk every day.
Apply a little warmed honey to the face, and wash off after fifteen minutes.
Exfoliate your skin with a facial scrub, twice a week. Make your own homemade exfoliating scrub. Dissolve four ounces of powdered almonds, two ounces of glycerine soap and one ounce of multani mitti in a little water. Then rub this solution onto the blackhead-affected areas on your face.
Large pores
While there is no permanent remedy to close large pores, astringents do help to temporarily tighten and close them.
Buttermilk has astringent qualities. Apply it on your face and leave it on for 15 minutes before washing off with cool water.
Egg white also helps tighten skin. Beaten egg white should be applied on the face with cotton wool and washed off after 15 minutes.
Tomato juice contains Vitamin C and potassium and works wonders on large pores. It can be used alone or mixed with curd or multani mitti to make an excellent pore-closing paste. Lettuce juice is another alternative.
Pastes made of cornmeal or oatmeal have also been found to help closing pores. The paste should be made with hot water, applied and left on for about half an hour. It should then be washed off with cool water.
Powdered alum mixed with hot water or rosewater and egg white is also good for tightening and closing large pores.
You can also make a good skin tonic using equal parts of vinegar and water.
As in the case of pimples, camphor works well towards tightening and closing open pores. A few drops of camphor spirit mixed with rose water or cool water makes a nice pore-tightening solution.
The most important tip of all: start taking care of your child's complexion from the outset, so she never has to endure the pain associated with far-from-perfect skin. After all, prevention is better than cure.
Some more easy-to-implement body care tips.
1.Watermelon juice clears the skin of all its blemishes leaving it fresh and lovely. Grate a watermelon, squeeze out the juice and apply it on your face for 15 minutes. Now wash it with hot water and then splash on cold water.
2. Fenugreek leaves (methi) cure pimples, blackheads, dryness and early appearance of wrinkles. Make a paste of these leaves and apply it every night. Next morning, wash off with warm water. This improves your complexion.
3. Tea leaves and lemon juice helps prevent hair fall. They also lead to soft and shiny hair. You need to boil the leaves in water and strain out the tea. Add a little lemon juice to this concoction and wash your hair with it. Rinse your hair thoroughly.
4. Bengal gram flour (besan) mixed with curd can be applied daily on your face and hair! It will not only give you a glowing complexion, but also long and lustrous locks.
5. Orange juice is great for an instant glow. All you need to do is dip your fingers in the juice and pat your cheeks, chin, neck and forehead. Wash off after ten minutes.

The rude shock in the mirror
You wake up in the morning, stumble to the basement and wash your sleepy face. As you wipe it dry with a towel, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, and let out a loud groan. No, you're not having a bad face day. It's something much worse than that. It's the (shudder!) biggest darned pimple you've ever seen in your life! Ugh! Where did you go wrong?HELP!is there any remides with fruit like oranges or apples....to get rid of acne? or blackheads?... thanks!!!
squeeze lime juice or lemon juice mix with oatmeal , cornstarch and a little warm water, keep it thick though. Spread it on your face . Leave on your face for one hour.
Wash , then wash with a cleanser or regular soap.
I suggest 2 limes or lemons , 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup cornstarch, a 2 and a half tablespoons of warm water.
NOOOOO...LOL...
Lemons, oranges...etc,,,have natural acid in them, the acid will clog your pore's, and collect MORE dirt...
All you have to do, is wash your face in the morning, day and night, and after you wash them every time, clean it one more time with peroxide...trust me...Its not going to take affect right THEN and THEIR... But you will see a BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!
Trust me, i have done it and mine are GONE!!!!

Lemon juice works. Yeah it stings but it gets rid of the pimple. After you put some lemon juice, try moisturizing your face so it doesnt dry out and cause more acne. Anything with citrus will help acne. Oranges or lime will help too. Whichever one u prefer ar hav in handy. Try using cetaphil for mosturizer. My dermatologist recommended it to me and it works. U can get it walmart for five dollars.

Some of the suggestions in this article helped my daughter with her acne problem, maybe it will help you. She especially liked the lime and milk one.
Prevention is better than cure.
Most of us have ventured through Pimpleton at some point in our lives, usually during puberty. While extreme acne vulgaris is predominantly heriditary, there are a number of things you can try at home before visiting the dermatologist - none of which will rob fruit from your fruit bowl (in my day we were all into dabbing pimples with methylated spirits - METHYLATED SPIRITS! man. What were we thinking?)
Firstly, try to cut back on foods with a high glycemic index. For many years we've heard that diet does not contribute towards acne, but a recent study between the skin of teens in developing nations and those in the West suggests this might not be the case. According to the study, foods with a high G.I., like white bread, biscuits, and other sugary snacks, prompted the liver to produce an excess of insulin. This, the report claimed, could result in an increase in acne, though I'm fuzzy on the link between an increase in insulin and overactive oil glands. Regardless, low G.I. foods are better for you, so I'd switch to grain bread (not merely brown) and keep away from the sugar for a while.
Next, ensure that your skin is kept in good balance. A lot of teens overdo this and wash their face with anti-acne wash every hour, even though this may make the problem worse by causing the skin to retaliate and pump out more oil as a reflex. Use a facial wash once or twice a day.
Don't have a greasy fringe brushing on your forehead!
Finally, if things start to get really out of control, march yourself straight to your GP. My brother and a few friends took Roaccutane in their teens. An extreme drug that dries out our skin, lips, and has a list of potential side effects, it works. Some GPs and dermatologists may even prescribe something a little less drastic.
Hopefully now you'll be able to save the lemon juice for a nice fillet of grilled perch.
