Pure honey – a natural healing solution

How to apply:

  • Slice a fresh tomato into thin pieces.
  • Place directly on acne areas.
  • Relax for 20 minutes before rinsing off.

Garlic – natural antibacterial for acne

Garlic contains Allicin, vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, all of which help reduce swelling and fight bacteria.

How to apply:

  • Slice 2 cloves of garlic thinly.
  • Place slices directly on affected skin.
  • Leave for 20 minutes, then wash with warm water.
