Acne - every teenager's nightmare.
Skin is actually the largest organ of the human body.
In fact an average sized adult has about 17 square feet of skin, which when you think about it leaves a lot of room for cuts, scratches, grazes and sores.
Most teenagers tend to be very conscious of their looks and especially for females, waking up in the morning and finding a big, red zit on your chin is the worst thing that could happen to you.
Acne is a result of when dirt and oil plug up your skin's pores.
These can be in the first of either whiteheads or blackheads.
If there are bacteria trapped in your skin's pores, the skin will get red and inflamed and the result is pimples.
There are many medications available in supermarkets and there are also many natural remedies you can try for your acne.
Natural Remedy #1 Combine four ounces of grated horseradish with a pint of 90-proof alcohol.
Add a pinch of grated nutmeg and a chopped up bitter orange peel - which you can get from health food stores.
Dab some of this mixture onto each pimple every day, both morning and night.
This remedy will probably give you quicker results than the following remedies.
You may need to select one of these and stick with it for a couple of weeks.
Natural Remedy #2 Wash your skin with mild soap and water.
