Remedies for acne You can get unsightly pimples due to two reasons. One is the impact of adolescence, the other reason is dead skin cells that refuse to shed and clog your pores, thereby not allowing the skin to breathe freely. In either case, the best solution for this problem is exfoliation. Make a mix of equal parts of olive oil and sugar and use this to scrub yourself in gentle circular motions all over your dampened body. Wash this off with herbal soap and warm water. Scrubbing in this fashion provides fresh and clean skin with open pores that help your body to evict toxins more effectively. Better circulation also helps to reduce oiliness of skin which is a major cause of acne. Make a face pack of dried and ground orange peels and yogurt and leave it on for about 30 minutes, or till it dries, and wash with water. Adding a few drops of lime juice to this mix will help in disinfecting your skin. If you have a large zit, you can make a thick paste of sandalwood powder and rose water and apply this to your zit. Leave it on till it dries and then repeat the process. This will take care of it fairly quickly. You can also make a mix of lime juice and black gram flour and apply this to your zit to remove it within a day or two.
