Home Remedy #1: Honey
Honey has several medicinal properties, including antimicrobial. This is the reason honey has been and is still popular in the management of various health conditions. Applying it on skin, for instance, helps to destroy the bacteria that may be worsening pimples. In addition, because it is sticky, honey can help remove dead skin cells and other impurities sticking on skin and making recovery from acne difficult.
When using honey as a home remedy for acne, just before going to bed, clean and rinse your face with warm water and pat it dry using a cotton towel. Mix two teaspoons of natural, unprocessed honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply the mixture to the face and leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash the mixture off using warm water. Repeat this treatment every night until the condition of your skin improves.
