Acne is a skin condition that occurs due to the overproduction of oil by the oil glands of the skin. It is often recognized by the inflammation in the skin. Acne lesions can appear as whiteheads, blackheads, small pink bumps called papules, or pimples (pus-filled red lesions). More severe forms can result in firm, painful nodules and cysts and may lead to scarring. Acne can occur due to several factors which include heredity, hormonal changes related to pregnancy.

Home remedies for acne are simple and effective, the way all beauty products should be. A natural acne treatment helps to get rid of pimples on the face and other parts on the body. For those who are short on money, a natural acne treatment that is budget friendly is also very appealing.
