Lava soap is too harsh. Here are a few simple home remedies to keep your skin free of acne .
1.Eat a lot of green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, beans, peas, lettuce, etc. A salad and fruit should be taken daily.
2.Drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water a day and try to avoid sugary foods, fried stuff, and aerated drinks.
3.Exercise is a must to improve blood circulation .
4.Use natural clay absorbing face packs after cleaning the skin with ice cold rose water.
5.An excellent remedy for acne-prone skin can be made by mixing 1 teaspoon ground cloves with 2 tablespoons fullers earth and ice water.

22. You can try applying grated cucumber over the acne for fifteen to twenty minutes and then washing with warm water. Its regular use prevents pimples and blackheads.

Absolutely you can use Lava for pimples and acne! As a teenager I never broke out and my mom told me she had always used Lava as a child. Wet your hands, make a lather, wash your face and rinse. Period - you're done. Mom used it, I used it, my twin daughters used it and now my grand daughter is using it.
My daughter forgot about it and when my 13 year old grand daughter came with her face in horrible condition with pimples and blackheads, I suggested she try it and she immediately loved the way her face felt and in 2 days her face was completely healed. She used it twice a day to clear up her skin and now keeps it in the shower and when she showers once a day she washes her face with Lava in the shower.
Here's the key: It's easy to use - a 1 step process. And she has very sensitive skin. I was afraid that it would dry her out too much but it hasn't. If you feel dry, use a little light moisturizer. I never did and never broke out. It's hard to find, but well worth it and cheap.
My grand daughter had all the expensive products and they weren't working and her mom was going to take her to the dermatologist after Christmas which would have cost an enormous amt. of money. $1.20 a bar and it lasts forever. My grand daughter said she liked it because it was easy and quick to use and 1 step instead of 3. I told her - it will work - if you use it! She left her bar at a friend's house and panicked and went back to get it! Now all her friends are onto Lava! Use it - it works!
I am going to try the Lava Soap. I have tried all of the 29 tricks above and the other expensive acne washes with no luck. Thanks for the tip. I will let you know if it is working for me in the next couple of weeks.
I used it out of desperation as a teenager and it worked. I use it now a few times a week. It exfoliates and draws out oil so it takes the place of doing a mask as well. Cheap and a great time saver. When my son's acne wouldn't get better after trying several homemade remedies and really expensive stuff from ULTA I got him Lava soap and it worked.
It's fast to use. Great for any teenage boy and you can see results soon so it keeps them motivated to take care of their skin. It is so simple and yields results. If it were a skincare soap you know it would cost more. So I will just go to automotive and buy the soap for my face.
the original lava soap did not contain other ingredients like the green one. The original one was beige. This new one must contain dye because it turns my white sink green. Bring back the old one!
My husband and I both got through our teen pimple years by using the old lava and bgo ointment. I can't understand why they always want to fix things that aren't broke! It was a little harsh, but it did the job of drying them up. Didn't have all the other things, it was more natural pumice. Good Luck, God Bless, Deb
