honey and cinnomon is a home remidie. have her change her pillow case more often. or wash her face less. oily skin can be from washing your face too much. it strips off all the oil so your skin produces more, quickly and usually too much. drinking more water can clear up skin. also there is a product by clean & clear that gets rid of pimples in 8 hours. it works great. i have had very bad acne since i was in 10 or 11. i am now 16. HAHA. hope that helps.

Wash with African Black soap- I got mine from amazon, the one with shea butter in it. Fantastic for acne prone skin.
Toner- I use plain ole witch hazel. It's cheap, natural and found in the pharmacy.
Moisturizer- I use pure jojoba oil. Just a few drops.
Makeup- I use the Valley Girl foundation from L.A. Minerals. It soaks up oil, and has Allantoin to heal acne. I use a lot of their makeup cuz it's natural and doesn't irritate my skin.
For my T zone, I use L.A. Minerals Oil Control powder. It soaks up oil for hours!

Hope this helps.

Wash your face twice a day with warm water and a good face wash.
You can buy good face washes just about anywhere, they're not too expensive.
I recommend a wash with salicylic acid. It will work just fine with less irritation.
* Benzoyl Peroxide is also effective at treating acne, but in my experience it causes a lot of dryness and redness.

After you wash, make sure you moisturize your skin within 5 minutes.
* It's important to use a non-comedogenic lotion. These kind of lotions do not irritate the skin.
* Keeping your face moisturized will reduce dryness and your face will be less oily. It's very important.

Never touch your face or pop your pimples. Popping them will only make them worse, and they'll spread.
- If you must pop them, wipe your face immediately after with alcohol. This will kill the bacteria so they won't spread.
* Alcohol will dry your face out really fast so I wouldn't do this very often.

*Lemon Juice is used as a homeopathic treatment for acne. Lemon juice also contains one of the AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids and can be used to slough off dead skin, promoting skin elasticity, and enabling new skin cell growth rise from underneath.

Keep your pillow cases clean. Wash them often. Once a week if possible.

This isn't a one time thing, you have to continue this over time to see a difference. Once you get in the routine it will become natural and your face will be flawless!

* FOR SCARS *

Buy some vitamin E.
You can get it at any pharmacy. It's really cheap.
Get about 3 of them out. Use something sharp to puncture the gel coating. Squeeze the vitamin E on the whole effected area. Leave it on for about an hour.

Other benefits of vitamin E on the skin..
* Helps to remove wrinkles
* Moisturizes
* Reduces redness
* Generally makes your face more look and feel more youthful

Be careful with the vitamin E on your face.. If you get it on your pillow case you'll have to wash it. Possibly twice. It won't be sticky or anything.. But it will leave a dark spot.
