Tip number one is to start eating lots of fruits and vegetables. They contain plenty of protein which is great for your body, including your skin. The pectin found in some apple skins is great at absorbing toxins found throughout your digestive system, which prevents some of those toxins from being released through your skin and causes acne breakouts, You can also mix them with other things to create facial masks as well.

Tip number two, you can use crushed up garlic bulbs to treat your acne. Believe it or not, people have claimed success using this method. Simply apply the garlic to your face daily and watch the results appear overnight.

Tip number three will help with the swelling and irritation of your acne. You can use ice for this purpose. Just cover the swollen areas of your skin with it once a day. Try to not apply ice directly to your skin, however. A simple cold compress should work fine without the risk or pain.

Tip number four, you can use the pulp found in papaya as a facial mask to treat your skin. It is a fruit which contains lots of vitamin A, a great source of nutrition for your body.

Tip number five, try cutting down or cutting out altogether the consumption of dairy products such as milk and also sugar as well. These foods promote acne growth and aren't very good for you anyway.

Tip number six is eat as many oranges as possible. By doing this you will give a huge boost to you immune system and your body will thank you. Tip number seven involves grating up a potato and simply applying it to the effected areas for at least thirty minutes a day. This will help with the swelling and irritation.

And finally, tip number eight utilizes the juice of cucumbers as a facial mask/paste. This too contains vitamins that are essential to your skins health.
