It not only cures the acne, but also treats the symptoms of the problem.

3. Lemon slices along with peppermint

Take 3 to 4 slices of lemon and 4 to 5 foliages of peppermint. This remedy not only serves as a facial steam, but also as a moisturizer. Detox all your pores and use a hand towel to protect the face.

Then, add one teaspoon of honey to this mixture. Leave this mixture along with 3-4 cups of water. Now, deep cleanse all the pores. This is a very gentle facial for the skin which cleans the skin and protects it from all the harmful aspects that can hit the skin.
