More or less everyone has suffered from acne. There are very few people who have not had this problem. However, most adults, starting from adolescence, have acne on their cheeks. Which is a very common problem.

Acne ruins the beauty of the skin. It naturally affects self-confidence. In this case, many people use various types of cosmetics rich in chemical ingredients available in the market before realizing anything. But this has the opposite effect. However, there are some home remedies, which if adopted initially, have the potential to get rid of the problem of acne. An Indian media has published a report in this regard. So let's know the home remedies to get rid of acne―

➤ Causes of acne:
Excessive oily skin: Due to the production of excess sebum on the skin, the pores become blocked and acne occurs.
Dirt and pollution: If you do not wash your face after entering the house from outside, dust accumulates on it, creating the risk of acne.
Irregular diet: Excessive fast food, oil-spices and sugar intake also cause acne on the face.
Hormonal changes: Especially women get acne on the face due to hormonal changes before or after menstruation.

➤ Home remedies to reduce acne:
Neem leaf paste:
Neem contains antibacterial ingredients, which destroy acne germs. For this, grind a few neem leaves into a paste and apply it on the acne on the face. Wash it off after keeping it for 15-20 minutes.

Besan and turmeric face pack:
Make a face pack by mixing one teaspoon of besan, half a teaspoon of turmeric and milk. Apply the pack on the face and keep it for a while. Wash it off well when it dries. Regular use of this pack cleanses the skin and reduces acne.

Aloe vera gel:
Natural aloe vera gel reduces the redness and irritation of acne by bringing a cooling sensation to the skin. For this, apply this gel on your cheeks before going to bed at night.

Lemon juice and honey:
Lemon contains citric acid, which removes bacteria from the skin. For this, mix a small amount of honey with a spoon of lemon juice and apply it on the acne. After keeping it for 10-15 minutes, wash it well.

➤ Things to do for skin care:
Make a habit of washing your face at least twice a day. Always keep your towel and pillow cover clean. Never touch, pick or squeeze acne. This can cause scars. Drink enough water every day.

➤ When to see a doctor:
If acne does not reduce or does not come under control with home remedies, but rather becomes larger and more painful or the scars increase, then you should consult a skin specialist without delay. He can do all the tests according to your skin type and prescribe anti-acne medication or take necessary measures.

Remember, there is nothing to be afraid of or panic about if you have acne on your face. You should take regular skin care during this time. Cleanliness and proper diet should be followed. Remember - healthy skin comes from within, for this you need to reduce stress and eat vitamin-rich foods.
