10 Home Remedies for Acne or Pimples

Sugar Scrub

Sugar can work as a gentle exfoliator to remove the extra or dry skin cells that might be clogging your pores. When mixed with another skin-loving ingredient, like honey, you can clear your pores and fight away bacteria. Create a mixture of white or brown sugar with a few tablespoons of honey or olive oil. Olive oil is very moisturizing for the skin and will glide across the skin easier than honey if you are using this mixture as a scrub. Use the scrub once a week for best results.

Tea

Tea is great for drinking but also for applying topically. Create a cup of tea like you would if you were going to drink it. Green tea works best. Apply to skin with a spray bottle or as a toner to calm skin and give a burst of moisture. Studies have shown that certain chemicals in the tea may potentially protect the skin from sun damage, as well as others that claim tea applied topically may even play a positive role in treating skin pigmentation disorders.
