Acne is due to hormonal changes ,bad diet and unhealthy skin care habits . It is very common in teenagers . Sometimes, dandruff in the hair can also cause acne. Effectiveness of these home remedies varies from person to person. Some of the home remedies for preventing and treating acne are:

2. This pimple removing lotion will help to get rid of pimples on the face.
Multanimitti (china clay) powder – 1 tsp, Honey – ½ tsp, Carrot juice – ½ tsp, Garlic paste – ¼ tsp. Mix all the above items to form a lotion, and apply the mask on the pimples. Leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water and then wash with cold water.
3. The juice of basil or tulsi leaves heals the skin and acne scars are not formed
4. A good face pack of neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric is also very good for acne prone skin
5. Another face pack for acne prone skin would be that of honey (1 tsp) with 1/2 (tsp ) of cinnamon powder. Apply for 15 minutes. Due to the antiseptic properties, bacterial infections in the skin are treated.

11. Include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks.
12. For black heads you need to steam your face. Then use cotton to remove your black heads. Do not use make up for some time as it tends to clog pores more. Just apply an alcohol free toner after you wash your face .
13. It is important to use skin friendly products and not pinch the pustules so that there are no scars formed. A good soap like Neutrogena or Cetaphil is recommended. Mild oil free skin creams should only be used after you have washed your face.
14.Do not rub your face vigorously as this could damage the skin.
