    if you have a breakout, try holding an ice cube on it for a little bit. Then, spot-treat the breakout with salicylic acid or some sulfur-based product. This may take more than one night to completely heal, though.

    Everyone has different skin and there's no one-size-fits-all method that will do this for you. If you have a week, go see an esthetician to get a professional treatment. That's probably going to be your best shot.

    Probably not. It takes time for you skin to adjust and respond to things. You can take some steps to make sure you wake up with healthier skin, but you're unlikely to get totally perfect skin overnight.

    You should mix cucumber juice and lemon juice together. You would then apply it to your skin with a cotton ball. Let the mixture stay on you face for 10 minutes, before you need to rinse it off with warm water.
  • Question
    I get pimples again and again on the same spot and I really can't get rid of it! What can I do?
    Community Answer
    The pimples could be hormonal or cystic. If they're hormonal and just come and go regularly, you should just do your best to ignore it. Most people get this and as long as you are keeping your skin healthy and clean you should be fine. If it's something you keep popping that keeps coming back, it could be a cyst and you should stop popping it and maybe see a doctor.

    I am 12 and suffering from severe acne, but we can't afford to pay for treatment and I'm going to my brother's wedding soon. What can I do?

    Try washing your face with warm water to open up and clear the pores. Use a nice gentle cleanser or cleaner, then wash off with cool water to close up the pores and smooth your skin. An avocado facial never hurts either.
  • Question
    Does applying honey to your skin help reduce the amount of acne?
    Community Answer
    No. Honey can get stuck in your pores and clog them. What I do is I run warm water and wash my face for about 30-40 seconds, then I rub lemon juice on my face, it helps reduce redness and signs of acne. Then before bed, wash with warm water then cold. Don't use too many home remedies, some can damage your skin.

    Wash your face as you usually do, and after warm-water cleansing, use a cotton ball to rub witch hazel on your face. Make sure to replace the cotton ball as it becomes dirty. No more than one coat, then wash your face with cold water and apply a moisturizer. Repeat daily before sleeping.
  • Question
    Can using two products in one night give you more pimples?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how gentle these products are that you are using, and it also depends on how often you use two in one night. If it's once a week that you use two products in a night (say you usually cleanse your skin everyday, and once a week you also use a mask), then that is fine! But if it is too often, say everyday or second day, then you may be doing more bad than good.
