But you don’t necessarily have to resort to harmful chemicals and toxic creams in order to fight it. Just try these easy and natural home remedies that are effective without being harsh on your delicate facial skin. Being free from harsh chemicals found in over-the-counter or prescription acne treatments these natural remedies are ideal for people with sensitive skin.

Not only are these home remedies safe on your skin but they go easy on your pocket as well.

Home Remedies for acne:

• Exfoliate your skin with baking soda. Take 1 tsp baking soda and add some water to make a paste. Massage it into your face gently for one minute. Finish by rinsing with cool water and patting dry. People with sensitive skin should do a patch test before trying it out on face.

• Rub natural honey into the skin and allow it to sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Honey contains antibacterial properties and can help hydrate the skin.

• Mix one part apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water. Dab the mixture onto the face with a cotton ball.

• Grate a little apple and mix with honey, apply to the face for 15 – 20 minutes.

• Mix the juice of a fresh lemon with rosewater and leave on your face for a few minutes. Rinse off with pure water.

• Tea tree oil gently dabbed on the acne sores will help them to clear up faster.

• Combine groundnut oil equally with fresh lime juice; then apply on your face. Leave the mix for 15 minutes; next, wash off. This can be used everyday to prevent pimples and blackheads.

• Eat fruit and vegetables: It is a well known fact that fruits and vegetables are very essential for our body. Fruits and vegetables that have a bright red colour, like red peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, raspberries, are a rich source of antioxidants particularly an antioxidant called Lycopene. It protects our cells from free radical damages. Fruits and vegetables that have a bright orange or yellow colour, like oranges, carrots, sweet potatoes, and mangos, are high in vitamin C and Beta carotene. Green foods like kiwi, spinach, cabbage, broccoli and avocado, eliminate toxins from our body.

  1. the most trusted way is simply aaply neem + tulsi or direct neem leaves paste fresh everyday..
    second is aloe vera pulp diectly for 15 min everyday … results are trustworthy and guaranteed.. i have tried both and my neighbour and cousin aloe vera. they came to rescue when i went to dermatologists for an year but no result.. neem did wonders in 15 days and in 2 months my face was totally clear. i swear by the results .

  2. Hey… nice tips…. just wantd to add…. i apply the mix of fresh lemon juice with rosewater every single day in the morning,its been 3 weeks since i started doing it and it has worked miracles on my “out of the blue” acne…..

    I never had any acne issues (touchwood) but due to some allergic reaction acne has been givng me nightmares since 2 months…i used this mixture and it has drastically reduced acne and is also workng on the acne spots….. luv this tip

  3. Garlic paste can’t be missed out.It stinks and stings both!but useful. Should be applied and washed off after 5 minutes. Sensitive skin people may not like it. I have tried it despite the pathetic stinging and it did work! 🙂

  4. Nicely written Era.. 🙂 and I totally agree with you jhanvi… fresh neem leaves paste really does wonders.. infact i also added raw haldi piece to the paste.. it even reduces the acne marks if any.. 🙂

  5. Great tips….I follow “no touching face uselessly” principle. And juice of tomato and carrot consumed regularly keeps my system clean and skin glowing
