I want to know if there is anything I can do about pimples and my rosy cheeks. I don’t want to take drugs and use stuff that doesn’t work. Does anyone know any natural solutions or if not, store bought treatments?
What is the best concealer to buy for really light skinned people?
- control your diet, not alot of junk food
- good face cleanser

Wash your face twice a day
Store products that worked REALLY good for me is Nature’s Cure.
You can wash your face with an acne cleanser or just any cleanser.
Remember wet your face with hot water (open your pores), Apply scrub/cleanser, Rinse off with cold water (closes your pores) so no dirt or yucky oil can get in.

try clean and clear acne spot treatment. i never liked to use stuff either but this stuff works. just put it on your face (all over not just on your spots) before you go to bed, when you wake up your face wont hace any red spots and it will be really soft. if you dont want to try that then i would try lots of vitamin E that stuff works after a couple months but if you want results asap try the Clean and Clear Acne stuff

alot of the reasons why people get acne is because the makeup and concealers they wear
it cloggs their pores
try to wear less makeup on your face
(eyes is okay)
wash your face and hands more
use lotions that will not clogg ur porse like proactive stuff
in some malls u can find “vending mashines” things that sell proactive products
sry about the spelling
lol
hope this helped

I have the same problem and i went to my doctor for help.
He gave me a perscripsion cream that i put on my face every night before bedtime. I have started to see some results but it doesnt really start showing in 6 to 8 weeks.
trust me its the only thing that works. I have tried all that Natural homemade stuff and it doesnt work only give you rashes if your experimenting

Mineral Powder is probably the best concealer out there (in the long run too!)
don’t touch your face, steam wash your face before you go to bed & in the morning for about 20 minutes to get rid of germs, drink lots of water (this really helps!), exfoliate as much as recommended for your skin type, etc.
you could also consider seeing a dermatologist

Tea tree oil might work. It is a natural oil from Australia. I think it is a bit pricey, but it really works for the acne on my skin.

I find myself being a pack-rat with Acne Products, so I have a bunch of stuff just laying around I finally decided to put to good use.
This is what I do: In the Mornings I use Apricot Scrub: Invigorating. Afterwards I follow with putting some Boots No7 Soft & Soothed Toner on a slightly damp cotton pad and waiting for it to dry completely, and then put on a doctor prescribed medication. Once a week, instead of using Apricot Scrub, I use the Mask part of Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask then follow with my regular routine. Every night before going to bed I use Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Cleanser with Microclear Technology and continue with using Boots No7 Soft & Soothed Toner and the doctor prescribed medication.
Almost everything I have, I bought at Target. These are the prices:
Apricot Scrub: Invigorating: ~$4.00
Boots No7 Soft & Soothed Toner: ~$8.00
Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask: ~$8.00
Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Cleanser with Microclear Technology: ~$8.00
Tomato Juice Mask
Plain tomato juice can be applied for about 15-20 minutes.
Egg White Facial
Simply separate a few raw egg whites into a bowl and apply directly on the facial skin after cleansing. Let the egg white dry for 10-20 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water for an instant glow.
Egg Yolk Mask
Simply stir up 1 egg yolk very well. Apply all over face for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Honey Mask
Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.
Banana Mask
Peel the skin off and mash the whole banana. Apply on all over your face and relax for 30 minutes. Then rinse using warm water.
Oatmeal Scrub
Oatmeal when mashed not only acts as a great scrub but also effectively soaks away the excess oil from your face. The usage of oatmeal paste must be followed by a cold water rinse that helps in contracting the pores.
Baking Soda Scrub
You can use baking soda as an exfoliator: be careful when applying it to your face, since it is a very effective scrub. Massage the baking soda into your skin for ten to fifteen seconds and rinse.
Seawater Wash
Wash your face twice a day in warm, salty water.
Grapes
Before bed wash your face and moisturize, then take a green grape, cut it in half, and massage the open ended juice onto the problem areas.

Here’s a really sneaky solution (and cheap). Try just a dab of toothpaste (paste not gel) on the zit. the anti bacterial properties really help draw the infection out. The best makeup I’ve found for acne prone, fair skinned people (like me and you) is Bare Essentials. Its not cheap but you use so little, it lasts for ever and looks perfectly natural. I get comments all the time on my great skin but I have plenty of acne. You just can’t see it. Also BE doesn’t clog pores or irritate. (sorry for the commercial, but it’s true)

These are my absolute favs. They cured my break-out prone skin and are as close to totally natural as you could hope for:

For concealer, if you like natural stuff you could use mineral makeup. e.g. http://orthoderma.com/mineral_makeup_cosmeceutical_vitamins.html#mineral%20makeup . What I really like about that one is that you can use it on spots and it doesn’t make them worse or infected the way chemical concealers always seem to do.
If you don’t mind chemicals then I think Clinique All About Eyes works well pretty much anywhere except on new spots.
