Did you know that your skin is a
reflection of your health and overall well-being? That’s why a healthy-looking
and beautiful skin glow is a surefire indication that you’re hydrating well,
eating healthfully, and taking proper care of yourself. On the flipside, a skin
that’s ridden with acne, pimples, and other forms of breakouts can be a sign of
poor nutrition, inflammation, and exposure to harmful elements.

most common skin breakouts in the US, affecting nearly 85% of all American
teens. Lucky for you, there are proven home remedies that can help you
eliminate acne and other skin breakouts organically.
First Things First: What are the typical Causes of Acne?
● Exposure to a high amount of stress,
including depression and anxiety
● Poor nutrition/diet
● Severe sleep deprivation
● Hormonal imbalance
● Use of certain drugs/medication, eg,
birth control pills

Proven Organic Remedies for Acne (and other Skin Conditions)
#1. Baking Soda
Baking soda is the superstar of
organic/home remedies, and an amazing choice for clearing up skin blemishes.
For one, it’s inexpensive, all-natural, and contains no harmful chemicals (both
to you and the environment). When it comes to treating acne, baking soda offers
a threefold benefit: (1) it clears up the skin, (2) it reduces inflammation
(the primary cause of acne), and (3) it exfoliates your skin.
Prepare a baking soda paste, apply
it like a skin mask, and let it sit for about 60 minutes. Once done, rinse off
with lukewarm water. The results will simply knock your socks off.
#2. Egg Whites
Egg white is another organic remedy
that works like a charm for acne and several types of pimples. Soak a piece of
cotton in egg white and dab it lightly on your skin. After an hour, rinse it
off. It’ll leave your skin glowing, tighter, and blemish-free.

bring out the flavors of your dishes; it’s also an organic antibacterial
remedy. What’s more -- the vinegar boasts of incredible antifungal properties.

compounds in papaya can get rid of acne and do wonders for your skin glow. Mash
