? Make an egg yolk mask. It could seem like an odd way of treating acne still it can really help to remove excess oils from the skin. Apply egg yolk with a cotton ball or pad to your spots and leave on for 15-20 minutes before washing thoroughly with cold water.
? Mix lemon juice and rose water together, apply over face with a cotton ball, and leave for half an hour and then rinse. Try this for 20-25 days.

? Groundnut oil mixed with one tablespoon of limejuice could be applied directly onto spots with a cotton bud to prevent further outbreaks.
? Mix honey and cinnamon powder together to make a fine paste and apply on pimples overnight and wash it off in the morning with warm water. Repeat this method for 2-3 weeks and your pimples will vanish.
? Mash ? cup of apple and use ? cup of cooked oatmeal, one tablespoon of lemon juice and one slightly beaten egg white to make a paste. Then utilize to liberally to your face for 15-20 minutes then rinse with cold water.
