    Milk thistle, taken internally -- cleanses the liver. Makes my acne go right away.

    I have heard that lemon grass is good.

    I believe straight Vit. E works as basically a really deep moisturizer. I'm not sure. I've used it before on chapped lips, under a chapstick.

    commercial witch hazel. i wipe it on my face and any other acne prone areas twice a day and it makes a huge difference. then i just spot treat with tea tree oil, and do a facial with clay or queen helen's mint julep every now and then. also, for body acne, exfoliate, and use body powder.

    2 that I've heard but haven't tried:

    - mixing yeast with water and applying it as a mask over pimple.

    - using the film inside an eggshell as a poultice

    hmm. question: what if you're just trying to make the tiny little under pimples go away? If you take Milk Thistle, will that make the skin worse, or is that because it's cleansing your body or what? I read that if the liver doesn't need any help, Milk Thistle could actually suppress good liver functions. What say you?
    I want to get proactive-- I don't have acne, or bad skin, but I just notice those tiny little bumps which are noticeable mostly during the day that I would like to banish, FO-EVAH!!
