It also removes a lot of the redness from swollen pustules. Put a reasonable amount of the astringent onto a cotton ball (you don't need to soak it). Rub it in small circles all over your face and let it dry. More info:--natural-astringent 3. Apply a substantial amount of honey to your face every few weeks and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Honey is a natural antibacterial that will get rid of blemishes, sore spots, and scars. More info: 4. Having long hair will contribute greatly to your acne. If you can, keep your hair out of your face and the number of zits near your hairline will decrease. I personally let my hair grow out to about 3-4 inches, my acne near my hairline was terrible. Then I got a buzz cut, and now I get zits near my hairline about as often as anywhere else on my face. More info: 5. Change your pillowcase often. Think about it; your face is pressed against it for a little less that half of your life, so lots of oil builds up on your pillow. Good luck!"
