Acne is surely one of the most disturbing conditions especially for teens. Unfortunately, over the years, nobody has been able to come up with the most efficient and the best acne treatment. For sure, many herbal products and over the counter medicines promise the disappearance of those scars and pimples but what happens is quite the opposite. In fact, such medicines and herbal remedies make the case even worse.

The best thing that any acne sufferer can do is to avoid all heavy acne products and take up some home remedies for acne. They are safe and they don’t have any side effects

Here are the top acne home remedies that you can use…

Use Zinc to Treat Acne…

Zinc has been used for treating acne for years. It nourishes your skin and can actually reduce the acne marks on your skin to a great extent. You can buy zinc capsule of 50 – 100 mg from any chemist or medical store. All you need to do is to take a 50 mg pill of zinc in the morning, one in the evening and one before you hit the sac. Remember, you shouldn’t take any natural forms of zinc as they can react to your skin.

Garlic – the best acne treatment

Garlic is one herb that can cure your acne within weeks. Applying raw garlic to your skin several times during a day can clear your skin, pimples and boils. Moreover, you can also intake garlic seeds on a daily basis to purify the blood stream. Try this remedy for a month. It has been helpful for the worse cases of acne and so it can help you out too

Using Orange Peel…

Orange peel is used nearly for every skin ailment as a remedy. It is considered as one of the best home remedies for acne. You simply need to mash the peel in a blender and mix it with water. Apply this mixture to the affect areas once a day.

Using Lemon Juice…

Lemon juice is another great home remedy for acne. You can either apply homemade lemon juice to the affected areas or apply a half cut lemon directly onto the skin. It will burn for a while but it will really nourish your skin and kill the germs.

Using Cucumber…

Cucumber is great for the skin and we all know that. It can provide the vitamins and nourishment your skin requires especially when you suffer from acne. Simply apply grated cucumber to the affected areas and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash with cold water and pat dry the skin.

Mint Juice/Coriander Juice with Turmeric…

This is probably the best acne treatment among all. One teaspoon of coriander should be mixed with a bit of turmeric powder and applied to the face every morning and before going to bed for 20 minutes. You can replace coriander juice with mint juice but turmeric should always be there. This will not only cure acne but will also clear the blackheads and marks on your skin.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is widely accepted as one of the home remedies for acne.  It is a much safer alternative to harsh chemicals.
