acne, this works! Options

[CrimsonArchangel]

Guys, I think I found something cheap and easy that actually clears up your face!

Lets start from the beginning. This guy from Spain came to the city to give some speeches and stuff. My mom went to see him and bought his book on natural cures and stuff. I started looking through it and got to the acne section. He says that lemon juice works wonders, and it does. It really does. It is the lemon's acidic properties and the fact that its an antibiotic that work.

At first I didn't want to try it, but I was so desperate because nothing seemed to work with me that I tried it. And it really works!

Here's what you have to do. About an hour before you go to sleep wash your face with a mild cleanser to take away all the oil and dirt and makeup and all the good stuff. Then, take a lemon and cut it in half. Take one half and rub it all over your face and leave it on for an hour. Then after that, wash that off and squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Take that and wash your face with it (Watch your eyes. It *stings* ). Don't wash it off and don't dry it. Let the juice air dry and sleep with it on. Again, this *works*. This is coming from someone who's had acne problems since as long as I can remember, and this crap actually works.

One thing. If you're gonna try it, do it on a day when you're sure you won't go anywhere the next day. There's the possibility that your skin might dry up or get an allergic reaction or something, so, if you have nothing to do the next day, go ahead and try it!

[pbear]

Sounds weird, but I'll keep it mind for the next time I break out.

[xBitterxSweetx]

hmm interesting, i have very sensitive skin... so i dunno. maybe i'll try it sometime

[head_0ver_heels]

Can you use the lemon juice that you buy in the little containers? or do you have to actually use a lemon?

[CrimsonArchangel]

The actual thing.
Nowadays hardly anything you eat is completely natural, hehe, but the actual lemon is better because it has less funky stuff and more of the natural stuff.

[xBitterxSweetx]

hmm i don't have any lemons.. can you use lime?

[inthemudhole]

GREETINGS!!!!!

That sounds like it could work!
Thanks for t3h idea!

[*AngelicEyz00*]

haha, the last sentence made me laugh for some reason, like "oh by the way you might wake -up the next day with a rash" or something.

But yeh, sounds interesting so I might just try it

[babygrl23]

Does it get rid of blackheads?

[x AZN D0RKii x]

[ichiban]

AHahha ... then won't my pillow start smellin` like lemons? i dont have acne now anyways :D

[Caitlin]

[gigglez]

[sunissed14127]

hmm...thats different...but next time i have a bad break-out ill try it.....thanx!

[swtpumkinpie]

my mom made me use limes once. it does work kinda. i only did it that one time. hehehe

[mellyshelly]

Wow I will definitally try this next time I have a lemon availiable. =D Sounds kind of wacky but why not? =)
Although I probably will do only a patch test the first day because I dont want a big red rash across my face. Gross.

[mouse_3k]

yah i used lemons before but in a different way but it did clear up but very slowly..to my face, it was better using this special bar of soap my mom got but ur way is different so it might work better

[CrimsonArchangel]

HaHa! That's not likely to happen. The most that can happen is a little dry skin. Nothing a little moisturizer can't help.

[slurp]

interesting, maybe id try it sometime

[babyytookrazie]

would it work on sensative skin? because this seems like the best natural way to do this. thanks for the tips!

[CrimsonArchangel]

To be on the safe side you can always just do one or the other. I mean like either just rub the lemon half over your face (don't dry it off) or wash your face with the lemon juice and sleep with it. Try it out!

[xsweetdreams12x]

Hmmm... sounds like it'd work!! I'll try it sometime when I have a lemon.

My acne isn't red or anything. All it is are these little bumps that feel like goosebumps. I dunno if that's actually acne or anything, but would that get rid of it? Cause Stridex doesn't on that stuff...

[sheepy]

wow i'll try it ! thanks a lot

[CrimsonArchangel]

I honestly have no clue... sorry. But you can always still try it!

sounds like you have whiteheads. i have a bit too but their from sweating when i'm outside. to make mine disappear i just wash my face and go to sleep for a loonng time.

i'd like to know how it works on other people before i go out and buy a lemon and try it on myself.

Damn.

How can I get rid of whiteheads?! They make my skin really... rough in those areas...

[ghjgfkgfk]

i'm trying that tonight. i'll tell you how it works.

[jo3]

i'll stick with my prescribed medication

the only problem i see with this is having to deal with a sticky face. that will result in a dustier, dirtier face because dust and dirt particles will stick to your face. not only that, you won't be able to sleep on your side cuz your face will mess up your pillow.

but what do i know...i've never tried it

It really is sticky in the beginning. But I guess we can all just try to not sleep on our side before it dries up. And that doesn't take long. As soon as it dries up it doesn't geel sticky at all. Maybe a little tight, but you wont feel it when you're sleeping. Of course, you can always put a towel over your pillow. And of course, you have to wash it off in the morning.

[xomzcutenessxo]

i see thank god i dont have acne knock on the wood

[Mini]

does lime work? i dont have any darn lemons. lol

[moosepoop]

is it ok to sit in front a fan to dry it faster since it stings alot?

[CrimsonArchangel]

It doesn't sting! Only if you have raw skin somewhere in your face. Trust me! It really doesn't sting.
And about the fan, why not? Whatever works the fastest!

[pink_tootsie]

wow thnxs ill keep that in mind!

[Kagome]

Honestly, I have *no* idea! I guess you can try!

..i thought limes and lemons were the same lol

but hey, i`ll try it! i have a couple of acne

[CrimsonArchangel]

..i thought limes and lemons were the same lol

but hey, i`ll try it! i have a couple of acne

Heh. I thought the same too. I still don't know the difference, but the guy said that lemon worked. Never mentioned lime, so I don't really know. Sorry.

[LeSLiE]

I heard that works too! I'm really gonna try it next time my skin gets bad

[*salcha*]

(goes out to buy a million bags of lemons)
NOTHING WORKS FOR ME! i swear. even my friends laugh, cuz i have had acne for so long. XP

[hpsm2]

OoOo I heard about the lemon thing, do you have to use a lemon per day?

[lilJdawg]

Hm. thanks, i'll keep that in mind. i don't have acne but when i do, i'll be sure to try it out.

[smilz2dasun]

Heh. I thought the same too. I still don't know the difference, but the guy said that lemon worked. Never mentioned lime, so I don't really know. Sorry.

i read somewhere in the newspaper that if you cut a lime in half and rub that on your forehead, it wiill cure a headache... and i think i tried it once but i dont remember if it worked or not. i dont know if it works with acne too though.. anyone try it yet?

[Skyline Drive]

Seems awesome. I'd try it but I don't have acne. lol =]

[Xprezsion]

Wow, that's awesome, thanks for the advice, I gotta try that sometime!

[TrueMex3]

Seems awesome. I'd try it but I don't have acne. lol =]

lucky- i have acne and sometimes it pops outta no where. -___-;;; i tried using lemon once when i had an acne but it didnt work that wells- but i guess its because i didnt do it exactly that process... ><;;
its also because i have really sensitive skin.
