You should be able to find french green clay at the pharmacists, organic shop or herbal store it isn’t very expensive. I bought 300g a few months ago at it cost about 5€, although you can find it cheaper than that. Mix the powder into a paste with some water or you can get the clays already in paste form. Don’t use a metal spoon to mix the paste. It is used for horses on their legs so you might be able to find green clay at a saddlery but it might not be the same quality.

haha. . . you want to get RID of acne, not HELP it!

you can buy a acne treatment gel or spot treatment. You need to clean the place that popped. and than put the spot treatment. I got mine from my local dokter. Its a medical spot treatment. Works wel.

can u give some advise if i accidentally popped the acne. what should i do?

Firstly it depends on WHY you have acne! Much easier combating acne at the source. Cleaning twice a day is not good because it removes natural oils and the skin will compensate by producing more. Clean the skin in the evening before going to bed. A good face mask for acne is french green clay with a few drops of tea tree/ mint/ lavender essential oil.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and is around pH 8. Its a bit harsh to use directly on the skin. It could be used with an oatmeal base though.

I tried this and it didn’t work very well. It kept flaking off my face and my whole house was covered in baking soda flakes. I’m sure it works, but it’s extremely messy.

if it leaves it itchy and hard dont keep using it you might have an alergic reaction and it the acne is white that means the acne is ready to pop and it will go away if you pop it.
December 20th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Does it really help?
December 20th, 2009 at 6:33 pm

You should do it less often
December 20th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
If you have normal skin about every week. If you have extremely oily skin about every 2-3 day for 10 minutes. I do NOT recommend this is you have very dry or sensitive skin.
December 20th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
It can be on the whole face or only acne spots

Yes, baking powder has baking soda in it. I used this for about 2 weeks when I couldn’t find my baking soda, I still use it when I found my baking soda. Just be prepared that for the first ten seconds when you put it on, it will sting like HELL! After ten seconds, it will feel normal.
December 20th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Can you use baking powder instead of soda?
December 20th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Heres a tip
if you have sensative skin DON’T USE BAKIN SODA!
December 20th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
just in the acne areas?
December 20th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
