For some people acne ends when adolescence ends but for some, acne continues to be a problem well into adulthood.

This lead to many people go from product to product, trying to find something that works.

Skin care companies want us to believe that the only cure for acne involves stripping our skin of its natural oils, which only worsens the problem.

Many are surprised to find that there are all-natural solutions to their acne problem.

1. Ice

Ice can be used to quickly reduce the redness, swelling and inflammation of pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation to the affected area, and enlightening the skin pores and removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin.

Wrap the ice in a piece of cloth and hold it on the affected skin area for a few seconds. Wait a few minutes and repeat the process.

2. Lemon juice

Like apple cider vinegar, lemon juice contains citric acid. It also boasts L-ascorbic acid, a natural astringent and antioxidant. Simply wipe it across your pimples with a cotton ball and leave on overnight.

3. Steam

The steam will open your pores and allow your skin to breathe. This helps get rid of oils, dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores that can cause infection or inflammation.

Fill a large container with hot water and allow the steam to come in contact with your face for a few minutes. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and, after drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.

4. Apple cider vinegar

For a DIY toner, dilute one part apple cider vinegar with three to four parts water and then apply all over your face using a cotton ball or pad. It will kill surface bacteria and give a mild chemical peel.

5. Olive oil

Mix the olive oil and the sea salt together and store in a glass jar with a secure lid. To apply, wash your face with your normal cleanser and then, with your skin still wet, rub some of the sea salt mixture into your skin, using a gentle circular motion.

6. Raw white potato

Potatoes have been applied to bruises and wounds for a century as the tubers are anti-inflammatory and may also be antiseptic. Just apply shredded white potato to the skin like a mask and massaged for 2 minutes.

7. Cucumber

Cucumber help reduce the swelling associated with acne. It also cooling to the skin, hydrating, and full of vitamin C. Take a cold cucumber slice and apply to the skin to hydrate and alleviate discomfort from acne.

8. Orange peel

Orange peel can help improve your skin's all-over appearance, because like the rest of the fruit, the peel contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that's essential for skin regeneration. Grind the peel with water to form a paste and rub onto the skin. Rinse off after 10 minutes.

Not all home acne remedies work for everyone. An acne treatment that works for you may not work for another. If you are having difficulty treating acne, contact a dermatologist for advice.
