does alchohol help acne go away faster?

actually, contrary to the other comments, I've used rubbing alcohol before. it's a sterilizer and cleans everything thoroughly. If you already have naturally dry skin, use a light lotion afterwards, but my skin isn't dry from using rubbing alcohol. I use a little cotton ball thing, dunk it a few times, and rub it all over my face. It does smell bad, but it goes away in like a second. I have clear skin..so, it works for me!

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Holistic Acne Treatment Guide?

Alcohol dry the skin out. Try using a piece of potato. Hold it in place with a bandage overnight. If you don't want to deal with pimples stay away from greases food and fast foods

NOOOO DON'T TRY IT!!!! Alcohol will strip your skins natural mantle, leaving your skin open to growing moulds etc. Eww.

Drink lots of water, your body RUNS on water..about 3 leters a day

Try using a lavender super moisturiser, all natural I might add. Chemcials are SO toxic for the body...your acne could be from what your currently doing to try to PREVENT acne...

Alcohol is found in toners and such products altho i dont belive putting straight booze on ur face will work. I think if anything it will dehydrate the skin.

NOOO! Alcohol will make the pimple irritated! Try plain toothpaste or peroxide.

It will mostly just dry out your skin, which can actually lead to more acne because your skin will produce more oil to compensate for the dryness.
