Acne is a common and chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly 6 out of 10 young people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from some degree of acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acne causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about their personal appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

People often spend lots of money on all different types of acne creams and medications and sometimes find no cure and their money wasted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some natural, inexpensive cures for your acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can try using toothpaste, not the gel, on a pimple and leave it on over night. This will help bring down the swelling of a pimple.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you wash your face every morning with warm salty water, this will help keep acne away by getting rid of the oiliness of your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apply tea tree oil to your face by simply using a cotton ball and dab it onto your face. This might have a stinging affect on your skin, but that is a sign that it is working.<\/span><\/p>\n

The orange peel is very valuable in the treatment of acne and pimples. Grate the peel of an orange on the fine side of the grater and apply on the affected areas. When oranges are not in season, dry the peels in the shade and powder them. Sift to get a fine powder and store.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also try using honey on your acne. This is said to help because honey kills bacteria. By killing bacteria, it will also help prevent more acne from appearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apply Tomato pulp onto your acne, leave it there for about an hour, and then wash off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use papaya juice on your acne and this will help with the swelling and redness of the acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have pimples that are driving you crazy, then try applying garlic on or around the pimple, and this will help make them go away without leaving a mark. This will only work with regular applications of the garlic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way of making pimples go away without leaving a mark is to take some grounded nutmeg and mix with milk, place the mixture on the affected area, and soon the pimple with go away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is another efficient method to remove pimples: <\/p>\n

To the water, in which rice is washed, add sandal powder and rose powder
and make it into a paste. Apply it on the face and wash it off after half an hour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Health tips for acne.<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

1 tblsp saumf\/fennel seeds<\/span><\/p>\n

¼ bunch green mint<\/span><\/p>\n

Boil together in 4 cups water until it becomes 1 cup. Strain and drink 1 tbslp every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

One very useful spice in treating acne is turmeric. Taken both internally and applied directly on affected skin, it helps a lot due to its antiseptic properties. Taken internally, particularly with warm milk, it helps our immune system and is generally used in India to get rid of colds, and applied as warm poultice in treating inflamed skin due to sprain and strain. In the treatment of acne, turmeric is useful in drying out acne and removing blemishes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To use it on acne, make a creamy paste of turmeric with coconut oil (or sesame oil). You can either warm this paste in a tea spoon and then apply, or dab it just like that on the acne. Cover the acne and surrounding area completely with this paste. Use this paste at least 20 minutes before going to bed so that it dries before your face contacts the pillow. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leave it overnight and you would be surprised to find in the morning the difference in the size of acne. Even acne produced by hormonal changes in women responds to this turmeric treatment greatly. It takes hardly 2-3 days for acne to vanish completely, without leaving a hint of ever having been on the skin spot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the greatest advantage of turmeric treatment. It not only dries out the acne, it stops any blemish formation or making skin flaky or dry. It also is useful in having a glowing complexion if applied everyday on the whole face before taking a bath, even for 5-10 minutes. This "face mask" is routinely used by South Indian women and their clear, smooth skin is an indicator of its effectiveness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
