Water

While you are using natural remedies, support the treatment by drinking plenty of water daily. Whether you have pimples or not, water is very important, but with pimples on your skin you have more reason to drink more water. Water works by flushing the impurities and it can make your skin better as well.

Green Tea

Green tea contains antioxidant that can reduce the growth of bacterial and inflammation of acne by drinking and also dabbing on pimples. The combination should be half a cup of water with green tea. Leave it for around five minutes and wait until it cools down. Once it is cool enough, use a cotton pad to dip in and apply the green tea water on your acne.

Stress

Dr. Anne Chapas, founder of Union Square Laser Dermatology, in a piece for the The Huffington Post said stress levels can definitely increase acne. She noted that this is because when we're stressed, our bodies release the stress hormone cortisol, and acne is super linked to hormonal imbalances. If you're super stressed, try incorporating calming activities into your day, like mediation or scheduled down time.

Only natural chemicals

Only use natural chemicals or ointments on your skin, most unnatural products and acne treatments usually cause more damage then help the skin

Wash your face

A common sense treatment that many people don't follow is washing your face or skin with natural water every morning and night, normal luke warm water splashed 7 times onto the skin while as little physical contact as possible.

Never touch acne, face or skin

Touching your acne spreads the germs that cause them, including creating more bacterial growth which are found on your hands. Let the pimples dry and be cleaned naturally with as little touch as possible.

Little or no makeup

Let your skin breathe, by using any type of makeup you are causing trauma to your skin while also blocking their pores, stopping them from being able to breath and naturally combat acne.
