12 Natural Remedies for Acne

Acne is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands. Seven out of ten young people suffer from some degree of acne. Now it is time to get relief from acne with these simple home remedies.

  1. Apply the grated cucumber over the face and neck and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash thoroughly with cold water. The regular use of this application improves complexion and prevents pimples and blackheads.
  2. Dip a cotton ball in tea tree oil and dab on the pimple with it. It unclogs the pores and clears the acne.
  3. Dissolve two or three aspirin tablets with apple cider vinegar and water to make paste. Apply this over the face and leave for 15 minutes. Rinse it thoroughly and apply vitamin E oil to moisturize the skin.
  4. Mix the sandalwood paste with rose water and apply it for overnight. This reduces the acne and removes scars.
  5. Apply the mixture of lemon juice and honey regularly to reduce the severity of acne.
  6. A hot Epsom salt bath is very useful to clear acne. Fill the bath tub with one Kg of Epsom salt and 50 liters of water having a temperature of 37 C. Remain in this water for half an hour.
  7. Application of the thick paste of orange peels and Aloe Vera gel is very useful for treating acne.
  8. Prepare a face pack with dried basil leaves and tea concoction. Apply this over the face and leave for half an hour. Then clean your face.
  9. Make a thick paste of oat meal and tomato juice and apply it. Leave it for 15 or 20 minutes, and then wash your face with cold water.
  10. Apply the face pack made with clay and drinking water and wash after 15 minutes
  11. Make a fine powder with roasted pomegranate skin. Add lime juice to it; apply over the affected areas.
