Home Made Remedies to Combat Acne:

Life can never be as sad as spotting a sudden ugly bump on our face the first thing in the morning, even worse, if we have a special appointment that day. All of us have gone through this or may be some of us are going through this. Yes friends, we are talking about the “acne syndrome”.  These ugly spots never bothered us till we entered our teens, just when we needed to look good ;). Oh yes.. for those of you who thought acne and pimples were just a teen thing, hold on to your guns because they we’ll come back to haunt you again in your twenties, thirties and sometimes even in your forties. I guess they never learned to say good bye. So what do you do when these pimples suddenly show up from nowhere? Trust me the first thing that comes in my mind is to hide under the blanket and ask myself why God is so unfair to me :p, some of us get busy trying to find a reason to cancel their plans of going out that day while some of us try to hide it under consealers and heavy makeup foundation just to see it getting worse the next day. So yeah we all have our own acne stories.
