Normally a person will either apply crushed garlic or the juice of the garlic directly to the area that is affected or then leave it on the skin to do its work.
4. Lemons - These are another effective way of treating acne as they contain high levels of Vitamin C, which can help to boost a person's immune system. A boosted immune system means that the body is better able to fight off the bacterium that is causing the acne to appear.
You can either drink more lemon juice or another way is by mixing the juice with some rosewater and then applying directly to the affected skin area. Once the solution has been applied using a cotton wool ball you need to leave the area alone for around 30 minutes in order that the skin can absorb it.
