Using Household Things for Acne
Acne products are expensive and sometimes they don’t work! With a few household items, you can take care of skin issues.
There are multiple things you can do for your skin if you are finding that typical remedies do not work for you.
1) Roll-On Deodarant (specifically Ban)
Use Ban roll on deodorant to cover your trouble areas. With a thin layer, put the deodorant on your face. (I know this sounds crazy). Let it dry and wash it off in the morning.
2) Aspirin
Take a pill of Aspirin and crush it up with a knife or something hard. Use a little water and make a paste out of the aspirin powder. Use this to put on larger zits. Let it dry overnight and wash it off in the morning. It will help red areas and decrease swelling.
3) Toothpaste
Take a dab or peppermint white paste toothpaste and put a small amount on any larger zits. Let it dry and wash it off in the morning. This works for mosquito bites too!

I wouldn’t advise using toothpaste I’m afraid because I have been there and done that and apparently it isn’t the best method to get rid of spots (and it hurts like HELL) but funny about the aspirin, never knew that although you would expect it to reduce pain greatly because of it’s painkiller attributes. Good article.
