** Wash your face and rinse thoroughly. Squeeze a fresh lemon
into a small bowl and put the juice on a cotton ball. Apply
a cotton ball to face. Repeat soaking of a cotton ball in
lemon juice as needed. Let the lemon juice dry on your face
for about 10 minutes then rinse with cool water. The lemon
juice should make your face sting or mildly burn. If you
have sensitive skin, you may wish to dilute juice with
water. Follow this procedure one to two times per day and
you will notice amazing results within 14 days.**

And here are a few extra tips to help control your acne.

1) Washing with very hot water, harsh soaps or cleansers will
not improve existing acne or prevent future flare-ups they
will only irritate them.

2) Thorough cleansing is the first and most important step in
any skin care program. Deep cleansing is recommended twice
a day, in the morning and at night. This assures removal of
surface impurities, rests of makeup and excessive oiliness.

3) Ideal cleansing is completed by application of a toner or
refreshing lotion. This kind of product prepares the skin
for the use of moisturizers and lubricants.

4) The last basic step is to apply a good moisturizer, which
will keep your skin soft, and protect it from the
aggressive environmental assaults that it’s exposed every
day.

5) Be sure to clean your face thoroughly before going to bed
at night and apply a good night time moisturizer.

1.Try using witch hazel and lemon juice as an astringent. If you have oily skin and believe this exacerbates your acne or pimples, as the bacteria underneath, which has already clogged your pores, has trouble being released due to excess oil on the skin’s surface level, witch hazel and lemon juice are an all-natural remedy to remove excess oil from your skin. You can find organic witch-hazel at Vitamin Shoppe (www.vitaminshoppe.com). Lemon juice can be found at your local grocer.
2.Drink more tea. Tea has extremely effective skin-healing, purifying, and antioxidant properties that have been proven to aid in acne and acne scar reduction. Red tea and chamomile tea have particularly been found to be therapeutic in reducing acne, acne scars, whiteheads, and blackheads. Additionally, chamomile has been found to stop acne, especially in the essential oil form because of its powerful effects. Celestial Seasonings (www.celestialseasonings.com) makes both chamomile and red teas and they cost relatively little. Drink about 2-3 cups a day. Your acne-prone skin will thank you. You can also add honey and lemon, which both are great for skin health and acne.
3.Remove excess oils, dirt, toxins, and free radicals from Your Skin. Exfoliating is a must for anyone who has acne, pimples, or acne scars. The key, however, is not too overscrub your acne and to find a gentle acne cleanser. Look for a scrub that is all natural and contains scar and acne healing ingredients, such as lemon, baking soda, orange, chamomile, aloe vera, and salicylic acid.
4.Make an all natural acne-eliminating potion. Wash your face 2 times a day with the following: 1 tablespoon of witch hazel, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of brewed green Tea, and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Your skin should show a difference.
5.Steam your face. Hold your face over a basin of warm, not scalding hot water for 1-2 minutes. Then place cold ice cubes on your pores. This will tighten your pores and help your acne
