Home Remedies
I have a neighbor who had severe acne and she was someone who was so afraid of her looks, as many are. I commented one day that she was in need of help badly. I then saw her again in two weeks and her skin was white as snow and her acne was 80% gone. I asked her what did she do and here is her remedy:
- 1 large spoon of milk powder
- 1 large spoon of water.
Mix well and dab on the acne. Wash it off in one hour. Yes, that is it. Remarkably easy.
Another simple recipe with basil: For acne that hasn't responded to anything, steep 2-3 tsp. dried basil leaves in 1 cup boiling water, cool, and apply to affected area.
