acne tips

I just read a very interesting article that talks about the root causes of acne and lists 8 natural home remedies that you can implement right now for acne control. These 8 tips are so surprising that you’d be amazed. Here is a summary of the ideas:

1. Drink LOTS of water
2. Consume loads of fresh fruit and vegetables every day
3. Use rose water for facial cleansing
4. Avoid using soaps and alcohol for cleansing. It damages your skin.
5. Avoid using make-up because it blocks the surface pores of the skin
6. Apply ice to the outbreak area to reduce redness
7. Make a face mask out of blended cucumber
8. Test for food allergies. Allergies to cow’s milk, grains, gluten and chocolate can lead to acne outbreaks.
