Acne begins on the inside of your body, so make sure you drink plenty of water - at least eight glasses each day, this will help to detoxify your body.

Acne Regimen:

For the best possible results, follow a skin care regimen on a daily basis. Wash your face at least twice a day with a gentle non-invasive cleanser. Make sure you use the right face wash; otherwise, you'll promote more acne and breakouts.

Perform the regimen twice a day, both morning and night. Avoiding irritation is critically important. Try to leave your skin as untouched as possible throughout the day.

Fasting

This is one of the excellent home treatments for acne. Fasting cleanses your digestive system by flushing all the toxins. Your digestive tract is where the candida, a type of yeast, loves to multiply. This horrible parasite secretes a toxic substance, which gets excreted through skin, and clogs your pores. You never thought that acne had to do with something inside your stomach did you.

Garlic

Garlic is one of the most powerful antibiotics found in nature. Cut open a garlic clove. Crush it and add half cup of hot water to it. Take a clean wash cloth and soak it in the garlic solution. Apply the cloth on the area affected by acne. Do this for a few days and you will notice your pores opening up. Of course, the smell of garlic is repelling. So, apply it before going to bed. You wouldn't want to go outside with it!
