ACNE

Acne begins usually with blackheads. Blackheads are formed when oil and dead cells get trapped in a pore. They then turn black when exposed to air. When inflamed they become pimples which multiply when touched with dirty hands. Here are few home remedies for dealing with acne.
1) Grind nutmeg(jaiphal) with unboiled milk and apply on acne for 1-2 hours.
2) Make a paste by mixing honey and cinnamon powder. Apply paste on pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water.
3) Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Not for sensitive skin.
4) Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.
5) Apply fresh mint juice over the face very night.
6) Apply a paste of fresh methi leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and wash with warm water.
