Dear Sarah,

Thank you for the kind feedback. We really appreciate it.

Here are some remedies, I hope they are of some help.

 Wash your face with lukewarm water, with a Neem based soap twice a day. Neem is
known to be a good remedy for acne.
 Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15
minutes and wash with lukewarm water.
 Mix the paste of tender neem leaves with turmeric and apply of affected area. The
traditional approach to cure acne. One of the acne home remedies for acne
which has been proven effective with many people.
 Apply ripe Tomatoes pulp on acne, pimples and keep them for 1 hour, then wash.
 For women, you should always remove all your makeup at night, wash your face
completely and try to get all the make up off. You could also use special makeup
made of sensitive skin that doesn’t use oil as a base. Place strawberry leaves on the
acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.
 Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this
mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh
water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples.
 Mix mint juice with turmeric powder and apply on affected area. Leave for 15-20
minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.
 Ice down the acne before bed.
 A paste made from one teaspoon each of sandalwood powder and turmeric mixed
with milk is very good. This is one of the best home remedies for acne and for
skin care.

Good luck!

Regards,
Ayesha
