Concern: Acne

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.

How to use it:

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:

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.
