Here are two of the most successful natural remedies for acne that you can use in the privacy of your own home.  They are:

Oranges and Lemons are a fantastic way of reducing the redness and pimples that are associated with facial acne.  Simply squeeze the juice of one orange or Lemon and using a cotton pad or a small towel apply liberally to the affected areas.  Leave the juice on the skin to dry (around twenty minutes) then rinse the skin with lukewarm water and pat dry with a fresh clean towel. 

2 – Raw Potatoes
The vitamins in raw potatoes remove all redness and improve the complexion of areas that have been affected by acne.  Potatoes possess properties that actually break down the bacteria that cause acne.  Simply slice a raw potato and rub it on the affected acne areas.

As well as the above natural remedies remember that drinking plenty of fresh water (the recommended 8 glasses a day) will also help to give your skin a better glow.  The water will help your body to unclog the skins pores and flush out the bacteria that are lurking within.

Another sure fire way to improve the condition of your acne is to remember to eat a healthy balanced diet.  Reducing the amount of high fat foods and sugar loaded treats can make a radical difference to the condition of your skin.
