Your skin mirrors your health. The better you eat, the better it glows.

Unfortunately, despite eating healthy and exercising, many external factors affect the skin’s well-being, leading to skin problems like dryness, wrinkles, pigmentation, and most commonly acne aka pimples.

If you too are suffering from acne, then it is time to try out these tested super ingredients that give amazing results.

- Potato juice

Potato juice absorbs the excess oil in the skin, thus curing both acne and acne scars rapidly. It also removes dead skin cells and dirt from the skin while boosting the production of collagen, reducing blemishes and pigmentation, healing damaged skin, etc.

Slice a potato and rub it on the affected area. Let it dry for 10–12 minutes before washing with cold water.

- Lemon juice

Dab some lemon juice on the affected area with a cotton pad or ball. Once dry, wash off with cold water.

- Garlic

With amazing anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-septic, ati-bacterial, and anti-biotic properties, garlic not only kills the germs that cause acne, but also helps reduce the swelling, pain, irritation, and acne scars.

Consumption of garlic also assists in fighting with insulin resistance which is linked with acne, and strengthen the immune system.

Peel and garlic clove and slice in half. Rub it on the affected area and leave overnight. Wash with cold water in the morning.
