Two safe, non-invasive acne treatments to try

1. Milk of magnesia, applied on affected areas before showering (do not wash off face until the end of the shower), appears to help in some cases.
   
   
2. Photopneumatic therapy, in which the skin is suctioned with a vacuum-like device, bringing the bad stuff to the surface, then beamed with intense pulsed light. The process stuns and deactivates hyperactive oil glands and kills the bacteria they nourish. The process is performed by dermatologists and takes twenty minutes.
