The Acne Remedies

These are easy to make and highly effective when it comes to acne treatment:

ALWAYS do a Skin Test:
Your skin is as unique as you. Even those ingredients which might seem to be very gentle for MOST people, might not work for you.

Test any home remedies for acne scars FIRST on the back of your arm or the inside of your ear and then wait a day to see how your skin reacts. If you have no reaction, you are more likely to get a positive result from your homemade acne treatments.

Consistence is it. Make sure you regularly and consistently use the remedy your skin is agreeable with.

A Daily Routine:
Steam face: face steaming helps open your pores, cleanse your skin gently, moisturise and tone your skin without excessive oils, and will also help reduce infection, inflammation and further acne outbreaks.

* Bring a pot of water to a boil, or if you don't have a large pot, then fill your bathroom wash-hand sink with the hottest water that you can.
* Place a towel over your head, and lean over the sink or pan of water for one to three minutes. Do this once or twice a day, depending on what your skin can tolerate

Then apply your preferred acne home remedy
