Yes, however it will also dry out the surrounding skin. In most cases, it is best to use a over the counter Skin Care product versus a home remedy. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult a dermatologist and see about prescription products.

What is good for your skin?

Well, you can always put some baking soda and ornge juice on it. Mix some orange juice and baking soda together and it should make a paste. Apply that onto your face and let it dry. After it is dry scrape it off with a DRY towel. It's important to use a dry towel so that you can pop all the zits on your face while you wipe it off. Do it hard if you can. What the paste does is the baking powder brings up all the pus in the zits and the orange juice frys all that pus away. It might not pop the zits all the way though. Thats why you wipe it off with a towel.
