Gently cleanse your face twice a day with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt & bacteria.

Aloe vera has soothing & anti-inflammatory properties. Apply fresh aloe vera gel or commercially available gel to the affected area.

Honey has natural antibacterial & anti-inflammatory properties. Apply raw honey directly to acne-prone areas.

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial properties. Make a paste of turmeric powder with water & apply it to acne-prone areas.

Lemon juice has astringent properties & contains vitamin C. Apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to your acne with a cotton ball.

Tea tree oil has antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory properties. Dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil & apply to pimples.

Cucumber has a cooling effect and can soothe redness. Mix cucumber into a paste & apply it as a mask.

Green tea is rich in antioxidants & can reduce inflammation. Brew green tea & once it cools down, apply it to your face with a cotton ball or use it as a toner.

Wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and place it on acne-prone areas for a few minutes to soothe inflammation and redness.

Garlic has antibacterial properties, but it can be very strong, so use it sparingly. Crush a clove of garlic & apply the juice to individual pimples.
