Three-Step Systems

• Many celebrities have benefited from accurately using a three-step system. Although there are different types of three-step acne-fighting systems on the market, one of the most effective systems uses a gentle cleanser, a low-concentration benzoyl peroxide cream and an oil-free moisturizer. The website acne.org addresses this method, and lays out an easy-to-follow regimen that includes video to help people understand how to treat their acne effectively. This involves carefully and gently lathering the face with a soap formulated for sensitive skin, spreading a 2.5%-concentration benzoyl peroxide cream onto the face, and following the cream with an oil-free moisturizer.
  
  

Baking Soda and Lemon Juice

• Baking soda is a very alkaline substance, while lemon juice is highly acidic. When used in combination, these two products have effectively treated celebrity acne. All that is needed is a box of baking soda and a bottle of lemon juice. One tbsp. of baking soda is mixed with water, massaged onto wet skin for 30 seconds and rinsed with water, followed by a splash of lemon juice. This removes dead skin cells while killing off the bacteria that cause acne.
  
  

Urine Therapy

• Urine is a sterile substance that people have been using for thousands of years to treat skin conditions and medical ailments. Although foreign to most Americans, some celebrities are aware of how quickly urine can treat and eliminate acne blemishes. It is important to use the first urine of the day, as it is the most concentrated and can eliminate acne the quickest. Soak a cotton pad in the urine, then apply it to the skin by wiping the cotton pad across the face. Let the urine dry onto the skin.
  
  

Laser Resurfacing

• One costly method celebrities use to clear their skin is to have sessions of laser resurfacing from their dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Laser resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that gently sloughs off the top layer of the skin, revealing new, unblemished and unclogged skin underneath. Multiple treatments are often required.
  
  

Oil Cleansing

• Many celebrities have cleared their skin effectively by using certain oils to unclog their pores and maintain clear, soft skin. The two oils used most often are extra-virgin olive oil and castor oil. These oils are both noncomedogenic, meaning that they do not clog the pores. These oils are massaged into the skin, and followed by draping a steaming washcloth over the face. The steam penetrates and opens the pores, effectively removing dirt and impurities. After the cloth cools, the excess oil is wiped away with the washcloth.
