How to get rid of spots without cosmetics

I sooo know what you mean!! Are u a teen like me (I'm thirteen)? My Mum won't buy me expensive creams, she says they don't work! The toothpaste-on-spot remedy really works, but don't use it too often, as your skin will become imune to it eventualy.
Make sure you wash your face every day with warm water and no soap, but don't scrub it.
Stay away from very oily foods and keep your hair out of your face as the oils from it can get into your spots (thats why you get spots along your hairline).
Stop touching your face!
Wash pillowcases regularly.
Drink looooaaaaaddddsss of water.
Try to get hold of a cleanser as this makes a HUGE difference!!!!! I have been using my mum's avon teatree one without her knowing!! I used to
have fairly mild acne on my cheeks and also used to get these wierd veins as well. But by using theese methods my skin is v. clear.
I still get spots occasionaly, but they soon clear up. MY mum says they will get worse when I start my period, but I'll deal with that then!

I know what you mean... totally. I have spots. I used to have a hell of a lotbut they've gone down with simple tricks;
1)Water... i know everyone says it but it#s true
2)steam your face with vic vapour rub. it works SO GOOD if you're not alergic to it like me
3)Wash face every day and keep it moistuised. You can get moisturizer in any shop and it's not expencive.
4)wash your hair, don't let it get greasy cos at the hairline you will get spots otherwise!
~*~GOOD LUCK!~*~

If you've got really bad skin then you need to change your diet; i kind of cheat with my diet as I dont eat very unhealthy stuff; but i dont eat really healthy stuff. So just eat stuff thats nice but not sugary. And im not sure if you've heard of this but theres natural acne bleaching cream. It gets the acne and bleaches the redness. (dont worry, not your skin colour.) If you have mild spots like a few here and there then get some clean & clear leave it on overnight . Or if you've got sensitive skin try tea tree oil or toothpaste. As your really young you might be able to get away with a few packs of crisps a week but i wouldnt push your luck too much . lol Hope helps X)
