Is rubbing alcohol good for zits?!


Question: No, not good for the zit or the surrounding skin. The best thing to do for it is keep your hands and all the potions off it. Apply some moist heat with a clean washrag, hot as you can stand it as often as you can stand it. That will encourage it to drain all by itself. If you simply must put something on it, use a tiny drop of tea tree oil. Wash your face with plain soap and water, then wipe off with witch hazel on a cotton pad. Keep your hands off your face otherwise. Use the tea tree oil before bedtime, as it has a slight odor that will fade overnight. Otherwise, leave it be. Your skin will thank you by healing faster and not making more pimples in the area.

It might help with zits but will really dry out your skin.

no. it will dry out your skin and possibly make you have more. try clean and clear or something... maybe proactive?

No it isn't. BUT I will tell you the best stuff in the world for zits. Go buy a small brown bottle of PURE Camphor. It's an oily substance that when dabbed on twice a day will kill them fast! Don't swab your whole face down, just dab it on the zit.
This stuff can be hard to find and be sure you don't buy the Campho-Phenique, just plain Camphor.

i use it sometimes when i get sweaty. it does help reduce the amount of oil and sweat on your face. it also dries your skin out alot though, so u may also want to have a facial mostierizer on hand as well, clean & clear has a moisterizor that prevents pimples as well that i reccomend.

NOOOOOO use clear nailpolish or pop it
