ACNE

• Usually acne occurs when skin gets clogged with oil and bacteria. Orange peel has been found very effective in the local treatment of acne. Pounded well with water on a piece of stone, the peel should be applied to the affected areas.
• The juice of lemon if applied regularly provides considerable relief.
• Garlic has been used successfully in the treatment of acne. Pimples disappear without scars when rubbed with raw garlic several times a day.
• Salicylic acid is a clarifying agent for the skin. Since cloves contain salicylic acid, a face pack for pimples should contain cloves as essential ingredients.
