Hi. Me and my cousin are trying this stuff for the first time and i hope these work. Anyone have sugjestions for a less shiny complection? I have it bad. I cant wear a hairtie without people calling me shiny head.
Hi Maddie, Thanks you for these face treatment :-)
A friend of mine came across a cleanser for your face, all you need is an egg!!
Crack open the egg and separate the yolk.
Smear the white of the egg over your face and leave to dry. Rinse.
Smear the yolk of the egg over your face and leave to dry. Rinse.
Simple and it made her skin really soft! (I was skeptical but it worked!!)
Thank you for the tips . ? (needed them badly lol)
Hi Maddie, thank you for your Recipes, can these be used daily?
Also, what are recipes for marks, ive had them for years..
Hi! I am an adult who has suffered from extreme acne all of my life. I have bought every product you could imagine... I stumbled on this site out of desperation. I tried the bran.baking soda recipe. Actually I changed it by warming it a tiny bit... I must say.. it really improved my skin overnight. I will continue to use this. Also, I have learned this.. even those with oily skin should moisturize! I use a very light and breathable facial moiusturizer meant for sensitive skin!
Sorry posted twice... thanks for the remedy.

Tara:
Radish seeds should be available at your local garden store. You can also buy them in bulk online.
Sarina:
Try the Sugar & Spice scrub, followed by the Sweet & Sour cleanser on this page: http://maddieruud.hubpages.com/hub/Cleanser_Recipe
Hi maddie
what remedy would be best for Face to be smooth and soft n will make face glow?
Where can I get that?
Lemon juice will help lighten spots, as well as help prevent future breakouts, but it can be a harsh irritant. Dilute it with some honey or warm water before applying to your face.
What is the best remedy for dark spots on face?
Hi Tara,
Try making a paste from radish seeds and applying it to the affected area. That often helps.
Hi I have black spot on my face n I used lemon juice, honey but its not helping me that much...I need some good home remedy that will really help for those black spot to be gone...please help..
Hi Me2,
Everyone's skin is different, and unfortunately during puberty some pimples are inevitable.
I'd try the baking soda/bran pack first, once or twice a week, followed by the basil toner and then a good moisturizer. You should also check out my other Hubs on facial mask and scrub recipes to see if any of them work for you.
Good luck!

hi i was wondering if you have any solutions for white heads please help thank you
Where is everyone finding Lady Soma products? I have never heard of the brand before, but really want to give it a try! I just Googled it, and cannot find anything...
Previously, I used soap and I would get breakouts occasionally. Then I tried Neutrogena which made me break out badly and I stopped using it after a week and went back to soap. Then I did some research online and decided to try Lady Soma's Antioxidant Berry mask and what a great purchase.
Once per day, I have been using Lady Soma's Antioxidant Berry mask and it has been great to me. It has not only prevented breakouts, but it is also clearing out the little white heads that were on my forehead (I have oily skin) and blemishes. It's not a harsh product either and feels rather mild. I can see why everyone loves this mask!
I would reccomind lemon juice and water! It works magic for me. I have suffered from bad acne for awhile now and I just recently started using a product called dermalogica clean start. My face looks amazing. Its natural gental. Kinda pricey but soo worth it. Hope I can help!!
Great recipes.
hey! some of these recipes r realli cool just dat i don't really have all the ingredients and so what else can u recommend cause i have serious pimples and i have a mask but after the pimples are gone they become dark spots and they look so freaky.
how do you take away redness?? Plaz help me??
cool i hope this works!
Hello, what would be the best effective home remedy to get rid of blackheads, acne, and pimples overnight? Thank you; I appreciate your help!
Hi, can drinking green tea really clear ALL of your pimples (blackheads, whiteheads, etc.) in just two days? I'm going to a party this Friday, and I really need to get RID of ALL of my pimples! My friends have beautiful, perfect, clear skin, and they always brag about it... PLEASE HELP.
Hello, I'm Just wondering what I Can use for my face that will help with acne scars??
Thank u
Hi, I also want to use the baking soda-bran pack with oatmeal... Will it really clear all my breakouts? My friends have perfect clear skin, and they always brag about it. I want to have skin like them in just one day too.
Thank you.
Would the baking soda-bran pack get rid of my acne in just one day? I really need to get rid of all my blackheads and pimples...
Thank you for your feedback(:
Peaches won't help you, Ashley, but you can make the baking soda-bran pack with oatmeal. I'm sure you have baking soda in the house; just ask one of your parents where it is.
Hi, I am in the same situation as Tyler, but I only have peaches and oatmeal at my house. Would the Peach mask get rid of my acne? (I am also thirteen years old)
thanks
Hi Tyler,
I would crush some garlic and apply it to the affected areas (as in the garlic mask described above). It stings, but it really works to clear up breakouts. Then, before you go to bed, you can apply a spot treatment on any particularly big pimples or blackheads. I recommend a dab of toothpaste (if you have a non-whitening toothpaste), or a paste of baking soda and water, to draw out the moisture. Good luck!
Hi, I am thirteen years old.
Do you have any easy-to-make home remedies that will get RID of blackheads on noses and pimples on foreheads?

I have a ton of blackheads and pimples. Actually... I think I have every kind of pimple on my face. I have super oily skin. I have tried a million different products. And I definately do not have coconut oil or glycerin. What are some really effective recipes for my skin type?
Thanks for the article, I was always interested in anything related to the subject of acne, especially adult acne!
I had the worst acne i had tried everthing i even tried mixing all diferent kindes of face scrubs,masks,and gels and it was so annoying that i couldn't find anything to work then i tried sugar and water and a little of my favorit soap and most of my acne was gone in a week or two another thing that works is a little mint toothpast now my acne is not so bad but i still have just a little acne and i hope its all gone before i go into middle school!!! :)
My favorite homemade acne toner contains lemon and rosewater... Mix the juice of a fresh lemon with equal amount of rosewater. Apply it on your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing. It helps kill acne bacteria and fade blemishes. Really works for me at least!
i have terrible black heads on my nose i need something quick and easy that i can use right away and something i dont have to go out and buy to get rid of them also i have to hug zits and i need something for them .. please help
What can I use for spots (dark sun spots ) that I left after my pimples are gone!? Is the any natural methods, scrubs? I use gentle scrub and 60sunblock everyday , but the spots are still there. Please help. Also I don't have a lot of breakouts now, but which mask should I use to keep my face pimple free ? Thx ps I'm female 35yo
All this sounds great i,m looking for a cure to stop or slow down facial hair growth, i shave as or pluck hair at least twice a wk if not it would be hard to tell me from my husband.
I have a pimple and it is big. I put non-whitening tootthpaste on it and my skin got dry a peely.
What's a good treatment for blackheads? And another treatment for combination skin. Plz thanks. :)
An interesting hub :) Am sure to be making a face pack for myself from the above in the near future.
I have recently been using a mask of baking soda mixed with the liquid left in a used tea bag(ive been using green tea and tea with camomile) make a paste out of this and leave it on until it changes colors it takes about 15 minutes..i use it once everynight and my acne has gotten so much better! i stopped breaking out and all my pores are smaller
I just made a acene treatment gel tonight. 2 tablespoon of aloe vera gel and about 5 to 10 drops of tea tree oil the oil kills bacteria in skin in facial products thats why I used it.also if want firm up your facial skin use white school glue let dry then peel off or wash face with warm water and a wash cloth.Sounds crazy but it really does work great.SO JUST TRY IT OKAY!!!!!!!
i tried doing this
i chopped up tomato
1 mashed banana
1 mashed apple
4 squeezed purple grapes
2 clemintine oranges squeezed mixed with honey and olive oil
it works well
also i added a few ripped up fresh lettuce leaves
I have tried alot of things for my bad cystic acne. Im willing to try anything to help. I have just book marked this page to try some of these remedies

As I type, I am holding an ice pack to my face to reduce the redness/swelling of my acne. Some other suggestions to fast healers: Apply/rub in some lemon juice to the affected areas. The vitamins will help reduce the swelling and the size. Good luck! I'm about to try the oatmeal mask (:
I have back acne and chest acne which sucks! Because im in high school, i need a quick and simple way to get rid of it and actually works!!!
Great info I'm definitely bookmarking this hub!

Any remedies for acne scars ?
Please tell me garlic is really good for skin because I am quit confuse.if some body use it please feel free to share your experience with me.
Well detailed.
Awesome recipes! Although I wonder... the garlic mask - won't it smell terribly???
One thing that worked really well for me is sandalwood paste, but you have to use it every day. The nice thing is that it doesn't dry out or irritate the skin (quite the opposite).
here is a great mask that works really really great!
1third cup flour
1 fourth cup water
2 table spoon tooth paste
1 avacodoe
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
mix all ingriedients only add water if u want facial scrub,if u dont its a good mask.leave on for a hour than wash of with VERY COLD WATER.apply daily.(it works really well if leave over night)
Thanks! Great collection of acne remedies. I like to use lemon with rosewater. Has a wonderful smell, although the citric acid can make your skin feel a bit of a "zing" at first :-)
awesome -- which do you prefer for a quick fix?
hi Maddie,
my name is Stewart T.
i suffer of acne on forehead and i tried many treatments, but it didn't help.
i think i will try and your solution.
good luck!
does the milk-lime peel really works with oily skin?
it contains glycerin ...which i think is a kind of moisturizer ..or what?
Hi, great blog!!!! I deffinitely off to go give some of these ago, any chance to have a pamper day. i had really bad chin acne so hopefully it will help to get rid of it. :)
i've had acne since 5th gr it started out with black heads and it wasnt that bad but as i got older my acne got worse and i've tried everything from persricptions to proactive and nothin works it jus dries out my skin and irritates it, and i have very sensitive skin i'll be 18 pretty soon and i cant even remember the last time i've had a clear face,PLEASE HELP ME!
alinafair try reading the hub on beautiful face.
I have acne marks any body help me please?
skin care
I think getting acne or not is a lot about your diet. Stop eating burger junk food and you have butter chance to get rid of it.
excellent blog on effective acne remedies! I love that you can make then at home. i bet it would be so satisfying to make up a recipie that cures your acne, you know because you would have made it yourself.
Plus i bet the cost of the ingredients is sooooo much cheaper that buying a acne cream or gel from the shops.
Great hub! very well written and i really enjoyed reading it.
Some really excellent tips and advice here on how to cure those nasty spots. :)
wow really informative blog on acne with quality information! Glad i came across it! Thanks :)
I seldom use purchased treatments any more. I'm leaning more to home remedies because I've tried just about everything on the market and nothing worked well enough to keep spending money on it. So I now use what I have and find they work very well. Nice page, I enjoyed my stay here.
I seldom do mask now. But I place my emphasis on the food I eat. I also take supplements like zinc and fish oil and right now my acne condition improve drastically.
Regards,
Joseph
Excellent. Thanks.
I never heard about garlic mask before but i want to try it, thanks
can you use these daily? i know at the top it says use 1-2 times a week but i need something to wash my face daily otherwise my skin will break out maaaaaajorlyyyy
~thanks ^^
i have never tried any home made or natural stuff. ive only bought like every kind of product in the stores and nothing works for me. should i try the home made natural stuff? if not do you guys have any other opinion on what else i should try. im saving monney to buy proactiv but i dont want to spend all that monney and it not work. help me im 14 and every body calls me zit face girl!!!!!!!!!
these work wonders
I want to have a fun day at the spa today but I don't have half the ingredients necessary to make a treatment. I am looking for a very basic facial that doesn't require products most people don't keep in their pantry.
the toothpaste thing really does work. the thing is you just have to do it in the pimple area... if you spread it around like a mask it tends to dry out the rest of the skin and make you look red all over
awesome hub! Did you know that coffee makes a good scrub and it reduces the appearance of cellulite? Jojoba oil is great for masks, treatment creams and toners as well. Very informative hub!
Hi,
Well I have combo skin and basically whenever I use a product it works really well for the first week or two than pretty much back peddles. All my acne will once again reapair with heightened redness. Any suggestions on my little problem?
Thanx,
Tammy :)
I want to try the oatmeal/baking soda thing but I ran out of baking soda... is baking powder bad to use? could i use it as a substitute?
many years before, i remember that i used cornstarch because we ran out of oatmeal and bran. there was no soda, too, so i mixed the powder with small amount of water. it worked--it minimized the oiliness of my skin. for a simple facial mask, i just slap my face with small amount of pure honey all over my face. after leaving the mask on for an hour, i wash it off with cool water. it was refreshing. hmm, i think i'll have to find time for my face this week. thanks for this hub. it made me remember the past. :)
For the baking soda-bran pack, Does the oatmeal/ bran need to be cooked?
The best thing to use is Clearasil stayclear Oil-Free Dail face wash the sensitive formula. I used this and the next day my face was completly clearer No joke!
Best thing out there and it costs like maybe three dollars. Cheap and Effective!!
I just used the oatmeal/baking soda one, I hope it works! Can I use it daily?
Also, for anyone who says they don't have these things in their house, that's doubtful. These are the simplest ingredients that you use in almost every day cooking. If you really don't have them, they cost a few bucks at the grocery store.
i have had acne forever....a year ago someone told me to take a natural pill called thisilyn pro ,available at most health food stores.it took a while to get effects but wow!!! it really cleared my face and now i cant live without it!
i have acne that stays under the skin for 5 or 6 days before it surfaces into a white pimple... how can i get rid of those buggers????
I Just found this site and i am excited to start trying all of the masks and toners; i just washed off the baking soda-oatmeal pack and am waiting for the basil tonic to cool! I do have a few questions though that if anyone could answer for me:
1. Do these recipes work for back and chest ance?
2. How long can i keep the basil tonic and at what temp do i store it at?
3**I do have some scars and was wondering if there was any natural recipe out there that i could use to fade them a little**
4. Are there certain masks and toners i should use together or can i mix and match?
Thank you so much for this site, i love all the natural ingredients!
toothpaste works because of the alcohol in it... alcohol is too strond and may cause dryness... ive personally tried it and found that it works...not over night...but if you apply it at night for a week there are good results ;]
The oat meal and baking soda really irritated my face. I had to wash it off after 5 mins :( my face was fine afterwards however. I guess I need to keep looking until I find my ideal mask!
My wife has had acne treatments which have pre-disposed her to acne even at 36 years old. We tried many things, but one thing that has worked for her and my son is the Far Infrared Hothouse. There is further documentation on this at chinow.com. are you familiar with the Far Infrared treatments? Great posts :)
My acne started when i was just 9!!!!! i need serious help. i have tried every "natural" soaps there are, i used Proactive, clean and clear, Clearasil and other products but i still have lots of pimples.

Hi Maddie -
I have bad acne on the top of my back and some on the top part of my chest and it's super annoying and looks very bad. This summer I didn't even wear tank tops that much. I was wondering if any of these you can use on big areas like my back or if there is better remedies/recipes for those types of body parts! Any help would be wonderful!!
Thanks Bunches, Sash
Don't most toothpastes say "whitening" on it or a word other than whitening?
I SHALL TRY TO LOOK FOR IT NON-WHITENING TOOTHPASTE.. which might be kind of hard? i think...
Lee:
Any non-whitening toothpaste should be fine.
Hello :D
would you mind if you could tell me what kinds of toothpaste would be good?
like.. Colgate? Crest? blah blah blah. what kind?
please
Backing soda mask is great for me. I am acne sufferer and backing soda is a great and quick natural remedy.
MAKE SOME BETTER MASKS FOR PIMPLES THAT INCLUDE OATMEAL!!!!!!!!!
I'LL NEVER VIST THIS SITE IF YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evie14:
Many of these masks and toners will tingle. Just make sure you do not leave them on too long. You may want to test a little patch of skin with the mixture before you apply it all over your face. If at any point the sensation becomes uncomfortable, wash the mask off with cold water.
I tried the oatmeal and baking soda mask.. I have one question is it suppose to tingle while it's on my face?
I'm glad I found this site.. I would love to try the oatmeal and baking soda.. I have mild acne. I just get them around my period or if I eat anything with chocolate and drink juice or if my hair touches my face.
Hi!
Thank you very much for such an informative post!! I'm glad to have these recipes available now. :D
I WANTED TO DO A SPA THING FOR MY BIRTHDAY PARTY AND THEN APPLY MAKEUP AND GO OUT TO A RESTURAUNT AND JUST HAVE FUN. ITS FOR 16/17 YEAR OLDS. WOULD THESE RECIPES BE GOOD ONES TO USE FOR US ?
If I were to use the garlic one, what should I do afterwards to get rid of the smell?
i dont have baking powder or flour or anything of that sort in my house. and i always get pimples!
especially around my period what can i do!
Recently I started getting really small bumps on my face that almost look like little pimples and I have tried everything (Proactive,Natures Cure, clean and Clear, etc.) and nothing helps it just seems to make it worse or dry out my skin. Im getting married in September and I am desperate to find something that will help! I will really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
Eve:

I need help.
I am a teenage girl who wants a nice face when she goes out on dates.

to get rid of redness, try putting visine on the zits individually.it does the same thing that it does for red eyes, basically, so it makes them less red.
hi,
i have this zit on my forhead and well it's pretty big, i was wondring if u have any other home remidies that work for just putting on one zit other than the ones up above,
p.s do u have any tips to get rid of redness from the zits?
On the spot treatments part, where it says:
"For breakouts, mix 1 Tbsp corn flour with 1 egg white and apply to area."
Did you mean to say CORNMEAL, or is it really corn flour you use? Have never noticed corn flour in stores I shop in, but then I really wasn't looking for it.
what would be the best thing to do if you have skin that gets realy dry but also has a lot of acne?
Great work. I don't have acne and I am very impressed with the hub. Keep up the good work. You go girl!
I dont understand how toothpaste would work bc it has sugar in it..im gonna try it tonight and ill re post tomm and tell you all how it worked for me
hello ma'm
shuchi here this side again, well i read your tipa and last night i dab toothpaste on my pimplesa nd it worked. actually they dried only in one night.but ma'm i would request you if u tell me proper steps how to satr and when to end.
thanks
shuci
Shuchi:
I'd start with the baking soda/bran pack, followed by the basil toner or peppermint face tea. Try a paste of ground up radish seeds and distilled water on those blackheads overnight. Make sure you are not picking at your face, that you wash it twice daily, and that you use an oil-free moisturizer!
Good luck,
Maddie

i have always had bad acne and nothing works. i have tried perscriptions and lotions and just about everything else. i tried the oatmeal recipe just a second ago and i already feel like my skin is healthier. i have a question though.. is the oatmeal facial something i can do everyday?
Try the recipes from the links above, under "More Spa-at-Home Treatments!" Try the Peach Mask to tighten up those pores, and the Oatmeal Scrub for exfoliation.
I need somethingf to get rid of the HUGE pores on my face! Any ideas! PS. I'm black so the pores are very noticable. Ohh... one more thing, any ideas of natural exfoliators or toners! Thanxs
Alli:
Toothpaste dehydrates the pimple and absorbs the oil. Just make sure not to use a whitening toothpaste, as that has hydrogen peroxide in it and can irritate the skin.
I'm sure your parents have some vinegar in the house, Maddy, so try the Honey-Vinegar toner. If not, see my response to your comment on the facial cleanser recipes...

Whoa, garlic huh. Never would have known. But I wonder if you're still kissable after that treatment.

One good tip for us shiny-faced folks is to make sure you moisturize daily. I know it seems counterintuitive, but giving your skin some moisture will prevent it from over-producing oil.
Also, check out my other Hubs with natural skin treatments. I have laid out what each treatment is best for.
