Remove acne from your skin with these south Asian traditional procedures.

  

1.       Besar (Turmeric powder)

If you are from that part of the world where I am from, you will have this in your house. No ways you won’t have this in your kitchen. But if you aren’t, don’t worry, you can easily get this in some Indian or South Asian stores.

Take two tablespoons of the powder and mix it with a tablespoon of yogurt (Remember yogurt must be plain, not artificially flavored ones out there!). Put two to three drops of water so that it won’t dry fast. Wear it on your face as a face mask and leave it for 10-15 minutes, or to exfoliate your skin, softly scrub your face for 5 minutes and let it sit down for five more minutes. Rinse it completely with lukewarm water, you will be left with a soft skin(if you scrub).  Be sure to repeat this four times a month.

Wait! Wait! Wait! That’s not it. I must share some of its disadvantages before leaving them to you. Turmeric will leave yellow stains on your face. I am not kidding! your face will literally turn yellow. Plus if you have a fair (white) skin, it will leave much stains(Be careful!). But that is not the end of the world, wear it at least, two days before you have some events or you need to go somewhere. The stain will be removed within two days. But you can also use cleansing milk or face wash to remove it as soon as you want. But if you remove it, it may not  work it's best. Yes, that’s what I do!

 2. Baking Soda

Baking Soda is another way of reducing acne scars and acne from your skin. Take a bowl and mix some baking soda and water, apply it on your face and leave it there for 20 minutes. Then Wash your face with lukewarm water. The natural bleaching agents of it will help reduce the acne scar and pigmentation formation.

    3.       Honey and sugar

Take a bowl and pour honey (as much as you want). Then add some sugar (the ones with bigger  crystals) and apply it on your face. Scrub it softly, it will leave you with a soft and exfoliated skin and help lighten acne scars.

   4.       Olive oil

Take some olive oil and apply it on you face for about one hour. Apply this for at least two times a week. It will help enlighten your skin and dark spots.

  5.       Lemon juice

Take some lemon and squeeze it. Make sure that you don’t use the lemonades that you buy from the stores. Apply that on your face and leave it for about 15 minutes. Apply this twice a week or once. This will help in reduction of the formation of pimples as well as it helps lightening dark spot!

BUT maybe some of this substances will burn your skin for a while but that is fine UNTIL IT IS SEVERE. These are not chemical so you don't need to be scared about the precautions but it is useful to be aware of the possible circumstances.
