Acne home remedies 

The reason you have oily skin is dead skin cells that don't automatically shed and clog your pores, thereby restricting your skin from breathing freely. The best way to deal with this kind of skin, as well as the acne that results from it is to make it a routine to exfoliate your skin at least twice a week. Make a scrub with crushed walnuts and yogurt, which is extremely good for oily skin and use this. Grind walnuts to a sandy coarseness and mix yogurt till you get a grainy paste. Scrub this all over your face in gentle circular motions to exfoliate dead skin. This will open your pores and allow your skin to flush toxins more easily, thereby ridding your skin of excessive oil deposits.

Better circulation also helps to reduce oiliness, a major cause of acne. Make a pack of dried and ground orange peels and yogurt and leave it on your face for about 30 minutes, or till it dries, and wash with water. If you add a few drops of lime juice to this mix, it will disinfect your skin as well. Make a thick paste of sandalwood powder and rose water and apply this to your outbreaks. Leave it on till it dries, and then dust it off. Repeat the process at least thrice a day. This will absorb excess heat from the body and heal acne faster.
