Home Remedies for Acne

Try using apple and honey! Simply pop an apple into a blender to create paste, and mix it with 3-4 tablespoons of honey.

Apply the mixture on affected areas of the skin, but do not press and rub harshly. Let the solution stay for over 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Even when the awful pimple or acne has gone and given you healthy supple skin, continue to use the apple and honey mixture on a regular basis to prevent acne, pimples and zits from ruining your face.

Oatmeal, too have effects similar to apple and honey. It heals acne by absorbing excess skin oils which mostly causes those nasty sprouts on your face. With a blender, process into powder several spoonfuls of oatmeal, then mix with warm water.

Once you get the oats in a creamy condition, you may mix with lavender and chamomile. On your washed-clean face, apply the mixture all over your face, with more of it on affected areas. Leave for over ten minutes and rinse, and see for yourself how the oatmeal mask leaves your skin healthy and clean.
