pimples are irksome, ugly, and the one on my forehead is actually sore.

My husband gave me a great tip to dry them out: eye drops. They're basically saline solution, which is a great antiseptic. It cleans the pimple and clears the excess oils so your skin can deal with it more easily.

With a little more reading I found that combining salt water with milk (especially buttermilk) helps dry pimples without drying healthy skin.

In fact there are a ton of home remedies for clearing up skin. The garlic remedies crop up on a lot of sites, but I don't know. I don't want to be the clear face girl that stinks. Ditto for the dab of vinegar.
