1. Aloe Vera that is taken internally is effective in treating acne. Its juice can also be applied on skin areas that have acne.
2. Rose water mixed with sandalwood paste can also be applied on the face for 30 minutes before rinsing it off.
3. The paste from blended cucumber can be applied on the face and be left for about 30 minutes before rinsing. This serves as good refreshment for the skin, as well as an effective acne prevention cream.
4. Fresh garlic can be rubbed on the affected areas. Though this remedy can be pretty smelly, it has a very effective antiseptic property that will dry out acne.
5. Cumin seeds are also an effective treatment for acne. Paste produced from these seeds may be applied on the skin for about one hour before rinsing it off.
6. Paste made from water and powdered Neem leaves can also be applied on the affected skin as an acne treatment.
7. Lavender oil can also be directly applied to skin areas with acne.
8. Paste made from the mixture of vinegar and ground seeds of black cumin can also be applied to the skin to treat acne.
9. Paste from the mixture of little water and ground orange peel can be applied on affected skin areas.

Some suggestions:
Add Whole Grains - Choose whole grain products over refined. Have brown rice instead of white or make your own 50:50 combination.
An Apple a Day - Have an apple, skin on, as a snack.
Eat Cauliflower - Try this delicious Roasted Cauliflower recipe!
High-fiber snacks - Snack on nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, such as dates, figs, and prunes.
Try a "Prune Power" Smoothie - Prunes are a great source of fiber. Start your day with this tasty Prune Power smoothie.
Eat Beans and Legumes - Open a can of your favorite beans or legumes. Rinse them well and add them to your meal.
Ground Flaxseeds - For any easy fiber boost, sprinkle ground flaxseeds (available at health food stores) on rice, salads, oatmeal, or any other meal. Store flaxseeds in the fridge.

I use Lemon juice with rose water to treat acne. If you keep washing your face with lemon juice for a few days, your acne would subside considerably.
