Acne Don'ts
A very important no-no is going to bed without washing your face. Your skin heals most while you are sleeping and if you have got leftover makeup and dirt from that day sitting on your face, you will wake up with some nasty zits on that face. Do not use soap on your face for this can irritate your skin. Use a facial cleanser such as Clean and Clear's Cream Cleanser or Biore's Facial Cleanser. I will list more of my favorite products later.
Also, never sleep with your face directly on the pillow. The oils and dirt from your hair get on the pillow and then resting your face on the pillow may make you breakout the next morning.
Do not pick the zits on your face or try to squeeze them. This usually causes you to push the zit into your skin, making healing time even slower.
Acne Do's
Definitely use a benzoyl peroxide or salicyic acid cleanser to fight pimples. My favorite product for washing your face is Proactive Solution. I will discuss more about this product later, but it truly is my favorite.
Getting rid of existing acne
Here are some great tips and home remedies on getting rid of acne you already have.
Cleanse the skin with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser, apply an alphy hydroxy, and then use a toner. Then use an acne fighting medication to the skin along with a moisturizer.
To dry out a pimple overnight, try using toothpaste (not gel) directly on the zit. This should help dry it out overnight.
A great face mask is to use the white part of an egg and apply it to your face for about 15 minutes. The vitamin A in the whites is also good for your skin.
The egg white is also a great overnight remedy, but just use a Q-tip to dab on the egg-white directly to the pimple.
To rid redness from an inflamed zit, use visine eyedrops and apply to the red spots.
Also to get rid of redness, try hydrocortisone cream or pop two Advil.

Here are some great makeup tips that I have learned over the years. Send me your tips to post on the site.
For great lashes, heat your eyelash curler with a hair dryer first.
Apply foundation to your lids before using eyeshadow to help shadow stay on longer.
To cover up blemishes and acne, don't rub foundation or concealer all over your face. Just apply a dab with a Q-tip and apply only to the site of acne and then dab with your finger.
For great eyebrows, put some lotion on your wrist and while you are coloring in your brows, dip the pencil in the lotion to make brows look more defined.
Apply two shades of foundation to your face, a lighter on your whole face, and then a darker shade on your cheekbones to make your cheekbones look higher.
These are some of my favorite products! Try them out and let me know if they work as great for you.
First and foremost, my all favorite product ever, as I mentioned earlier, is Proactive Solution. If you have acne or just a few pimples, this product will clear your skin in a matter of days.
If you don't want to spend the money on more expensive products, I suggest you check out Clean & Clears line of products, especially their moisturizing acne fighter. It comes in a purple tube and this stuff works pretty well.
I also like Biore's Blemish Bomb for getting rid of zits fast. It works overnight! Put the blemish bomb on the zit before you go to bed and watch how much the pimples shrinks overnight.
Noxema's Skin Fitness also has a great cleanser and lotion for acne-prone skin.
My favorite hair leave in conditioner is definitely Infusium 23's Leave-In Conditioner.
A nice moisturizer to make skin soft is Ponds Nourishing Moisturizer Lotion.
A WONDERFUL product that softens hands amazingly and also can be used as a cleanser is Ponds Cleansing and Moisturizing Lotion in One.
My favorite hair coloring is Nutrisse in the green box.
Another wonderful acne line is Acne Statin Kit. If you have dry skin this is the best acne fighter that also moisturizes.
