Overview

Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin caused by the clogging of pores by oil and dirt. Teenagers are most often affected but acne can occur in people of all ages. For quick treatment of acne, it is best to apply an anti-inflammatory for a prolonged period of time.

Step 1

Dab some lemon juice onto a cotton ball and apply it to your face. This will dry out and disinfect your blackheads.

Step 2

Wash your face with soap and water. Rub gently or you may further irritate your skin. It is important to rid your pores of bacteria or they may become infected and swell further.

Step 3

Create a paste of milk and ginger powder. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory that has been used in traditional medical practices.

Step 4

Apply a layer of the paste to the acne-affected area of your face. Keep this paste on overnight.

Step 5

Wash your face with soap and water in the morning.
