Acne or a pimple, is a skin breakout that occurs to anybody regardless of age or sex. Generally, this happens as a result of the overproduction of the oily substance called sebum. Some skin experts say the health of skin has something to do with the conditions of our internal organs and the health of our anatomy is based or dependent on the food or minerals we put in them. In this effect, acne is looked upon as a condition formed by the toxin and heat produced by internal organs, most specially our liver and lungs.

Some natural remedies that help in the treatment of acne are fruits and vegetables, however above all these plants, there are herbs that are found to be effective in curing acne such as lavender, calendula, goldenseal, tea tree oil, walnut leaf, rosewater, witch hazel and Echinacea. Herbs like aloe vera, tea tree oil, neem and lemon juice are a few of some of the herbs that have been tested to be effective in the treatment of acne.

A simple way to prevent acne is to keep the skin clean by washing two or three times a day with fresh water. In addition, applying warm moist towels to the face for ten or fifteen minutes also helps. If pus has formed under the skin, do not open the pimple until it is ready to drain. Squeezing and pinching of the skin may exacerbate the inflammation and delay healing, and may also cause scarring of the face.
