There are a number of things that can be done to help your acne problem. These are all without using prescription medications, over the counter products, or just off the shelf lotions and creams. Many times the ideal cure is sitting somewhere in your house. In a place where you least expect it.

A good example of this is toothpaste. Place toothpaste on your acne just before going to bed. Wash it off as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. After using it for a couple of days you should see the pimples disappear. This is because toothpaste will dry up the oils and so helps the acne heal.

There are a number of food-based remedies that people state help counter acne outbreaks.

One is tomato pulp. One home solution recommends using the pulp on the face for approximately an hour before being washed off. After a few uses the acne is supposed to go away.

There are a few that assert that using the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon and leaving it overnight will help. If you use this, make sure to sanitize your face thoroughly in the morning. Others take this a step further by adding rose water to the lemon juice. They leave this on the face for approximately thirty minutes a day. In around fifteen days the acne should be gone.

If food remedies interest you, here are a couple more: Grate potatoes and apply them to your acne. Something a bit sweeter, mix cinnamon with honey then put this paste on before going to sleep. A towel on your pillow would be a good idea when using this remedy. Wash the paste off with warm water in the morning. If smellier remedies are your preference, rub fresh garlic all over the acne. Repeat until the acne clears up.

Other home remedies include using the essential oil of lavender on your acne. Maybe instead you’d prefer to drink something that can help you. Drink wheat grass juice, this can both cure and prevent acne. Or drink a slice of lemon in boiled water when you would otherwise have a cup of coffee or tea. You can also try rubbing ice cubes on the areas where you've acne before going to sleep.

Neem is a very useful ingredient in acne cures. There are soaps with Neem in them that you can use. Applied twice daily this will help your skin. Neem also comes in capsules that can be taken daily. Neem is said to not only help cure the acne you have but To cease further outbreaks. Why does it work so well? Neem is supposed to be a blood purifier and enhancer of the body’s immune system.
