There are a number of ways to cure acne naturally. This skin condition can be a problem for a person at any age. Here are some alternative treatments.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use alternative topical treatments for your acne. Tea oil can kill the bacteria which resides on the surface of the skin and causes acne. Aloe vera gel soothes and restores skin. It's good for treating acne and the scars they cause. Another option is to rub fresh garlic on your face. Make this part of your daily routine and your acne will gradually fade. Rub toothpaste on your face at night. It will become hard overnight. Rinse it off the next morning with warm water. Try these various methods and see which one works best for you.

  2. Step 2

    Eat foods that are high in beta carotene. This includes apricots, cantaloupe, carrots, and other fruits and vegetables that have an orange or yellow color. These are antioxidants which are good for your skin.

  3. Step 3

    Include supplements in your treatment. Taking zinc is one of the ways to cure acne, because it helps heal damaged skin and may reduce inflammation. You'll need 30-50 mg daily. Also, take 200-400 IU of vitamin E daily. This is also good for your skin and prevents inflammation.
