   Try these home remedies to get rid of acne:

   •Wash the face twice daily with a tea of calendula officinalis,

   •Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water. Repeat for two weeks,

   •Use aloe vera juice on the pimples morning and night for as long as necessary (perhaps five months or longer).

   •Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.

   To prevent acne:
   •Clean gently the skin once or twice daily with an antiseptic soap or a soap compounded of sulfur. This reduces the germ count and prevents the bacterial colonization in deeper pores.

   •Limit the use of makeup and moisturizers and avoid of oil-based brands altogether

   •Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. The oats and wheat bran, beans, fruits and vegetables should be increased in the diet.
