My friend was telling me that she suggested to her son to start using rubbing alcohol to help his zits dry up and go away faster. The thought of covering your face with rubbing alcohol sounds horrible. I imagine coming away from that with a bright red face that looks and feels like a terrible wind burn. I guess if you only applied the rubbing alcohol to one or two of the bigger zits on your face to help them dry up, that would maybe be okay.

But please, the thought of giving your face a whole once over with rubbing alcohol just sounds painful. If you look at the ingredients in some of the zit products out there, I think that you will find a lot of rubbing alcohol as an ingredient. I think they do this because it is a cheap space filler to add to their other more expensive ingredients. That is why a lot of the cleansers and other products tend to dry the face out quite a bit. I don’t think at any time I would resort to the full on alcohol treatment unless I was in a situation where that was my only option. It’s important to really take good care of the skin on your face, because it is more sensitive than other skin on your body.
