When you feel zits forming under your skin there are a few steps that you can take to help stop them from becoming a full-blown pimple.
There are no perfect acne remedies, but these have worked for me so far and may work for you.
This article will take a look at a few of these and how to prevent acne in the first place.
The most effective home remedy to keep pimples from coming to the surface that I've found is to put a dab of honey on and around the affected area and let it sit for a few hours.
 I recommend watching TV or playing on the computer while you do this, instead of working in the garden or something that will bring the bees to feed on your face!  I don't know the science behind this home remedy, but I know that it reduces the swelling and calms the pimple down about 80% of the time.
If the honey doesn't work for me I'll try putting a dab of toothpaste on the forming zit and let it sit on my face overnight.
 Again, I'm not sure of the science here, but it does produce good results.
 I would say that this treatment is effective about 40% of the time when honey doesn't cut it.
 With both of these treatments, you could almost always be zit free, as long as you catch it before it develops a head.
A good diet that is based on food like fruit, veggies, grains, and nuts is also a good way to prevent pimples from forming in the first place.
 Back that diet up with lots of water and your body will be an acne fighting machine.
 If you have an acne treatment that produces decent results, stick with it and adjust your diet to be free from acne!
