Does this really work for acne?
Im 16 ive tried proactiv acnetix neutrogena etc… all to no avail… i came across this old wives tale remedy does this really work for acne?
“The best acne treatment is a jug of water. I’m serious, you don’t need anything fancy like Fiji water. Just a big bottle of water. Keep it next to you all day and drink 2-3 liters everyday. This helps moisturize your skin and clears out junk from your bloodstream. This will help stop breakouts in the long term.
In the short term, all you need is baking soda, aspirin and honey. Mix the baking soda with a bit of water and lightly massage your face then rinse off. Then crush up the aspirin tablets, mix with a little bit of water and massage onto your face. leave this on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. Finally, put some honey on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
The combination of the above three will clean pores, dry up breakouts, prevent future breakouts and moisturize your skin. However this is only temporary because as your learn to drink more and more water everyday, your body will start to adjust internally. You’ll start having less cravings for junk food and your body will be able to deal with the inner problems that lead to acne in the first place.
This means no more breakouts, ever.”
Does that work?

The aspirin thing works, but drinking water has nothing or really little to do with acne! I drink 2 liters daily plus i get teas and soups too, and I still cant get rid of some acne! You will find great reviews and remedies here:

While water will help in some cases the issue is skin infection. The cleansing of the skin is good. Aspirin will make the skin surface acidic and inhibit bacterial growth so yes that works to a degree. Honey too is so concentrated that that it too inhibits growth which is why it can be preserved with little to no help outside of packaging it.
I would be hesitant to use honey – it is a royal mess to clean up
