Natural Acne Skin Treatments - Throw out the chemical concoctions!
Rose water and lemon juice is a good natural acne treatment - this time used as an application directly to the skin (although you could probably benefit from drinking it as well). Lemon contains natural astringent properties, and both lemon juice and rose water have an antibacterial affect. Rose water is often used in cleansing products as it has a natural skin toning affect.
To use lemon and rose water, simply combine equal parts and put it directly onto affected areas of your skin using a cloth or cotton wool. Leave for quarter of an hour then rinse with warm water. An important thing to keep in mind when using natural remedies is to listen to your body. Often, especially when using something acidic like lemon, you may experience a slight stinging (after all acne is a strong irritation to your skin). If however, the irritation increases, it's good to discontinue using that method until you can ask a doctor or skin specialist if you have some type of allergy or unexpected reaction.
