Remedy: Sugar
Why it works:
Sugar has a natural mild anti-bacterial effect. Since bacteria that develops in clogged pores triggers breakouts, sugar can help ward off future pimples.

Don't eat it!
Mix sugar with a little bit of water to make a paste.
Use the concoction to gently exfoliate your face.
Rinse with plenty of fresh water.
Other remedies to consider:
Acne-Remedy: Oats
Why it works:
Oats are a natural astringent and work to draw oil out of the skin.
They are also a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and other materials that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
How to use it:
Make some oatmeal using whole grain, non-flavored oats according to package instructions.
Set aside half a cup of cooked oats and let cool.
Mix with water to make a thin paste.
Apply to face and let dry for 15 minutes.
Gently rinse with water.
Acne-Remedy: Aloe
Why it works:
The juice of the aloe vera plant has been used for thousands of years as an acne-remedy and to treat skin conditions.
It is believed that the plant's muco-polysaccharides are the active ingredients that help soothe skin.
Aloe doesn't prevent acne, but it can help skin heal and minimize scarring.
How to use it:
You can buy packaged aloe vera gel at most drugstores.
Many grocery stores sell large aloe leaves, or you may have your own aloe vera plant, just cut open a small piece and squeeze out the gel.
What to watch out for:
It's possible to be allergic to aloe.
If you've never applied it to your skin before, test a small area and wait a few hours to make sure you can tolerate it.
