If you're one who wants to avoid both the health risks and high costs of prescription and over-the-counter medications and treatments, here are a few natural remedies you may wish to experiment with:

Try Using Witch Hazel and Lemon Juice as an astringent, which is an all-natural remedy to remove excess oil from your skin.

Drink more tea, especially Red Tea and Chamomile Tea, which can be extremely effective in skin-healing and purifying. It also possesses antioxidant properties, which have been proven to aid in acne prevention and acne scar reduction.

Exfoliate with an all natural scrub that contains scar and acne healing ingredients, such as lemon, baking soda, orange, chamomile, aloe vera, and salicylic acid. Exfoliating is a must for anyone who has acne, pimples, or acne scars to remove excess oils, dirt, toxins, and free radicals from your skin.

Make your own all-natural acne-eliminating solution. Wash your face 2 times a day with the following: 1 Tablespoon of Witch Hazel, 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice, 1 Tablespoon of Brewed Green Tea, and ¼ Cup of Baking Soda. Your skin should show a noticeable difference.

Steam your face. Hold your face over a basin of warm, not scalding hot water for 1-2 minutes. Then place cold ice cubes on your skin. This will tighten your pores and help with your acne.
