Skin blemishes, blackheads, & pimples can be treated with water & natural cleansers.
As regards local treatment, hot fomentation should be applied to open up the pores & squeeze the waste matter. Then rinse with cold water. Sun & air baths by exposing the whole body to sun & air be highly helpful. The healing packs prepared of grated cucumber, oatmeal cooked in milk, & cooked, creamed carrots used externally, have been found to be effective.
The orange peel is valuable in the treatment of acne. The peel, pounded well with water on a piece of stone, should be applied to the affected areas. The lemon has also proved beneficial in removing pimples & acne. It should be applied regularly.
A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective house remedy for pimples & blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after carefully washing it, every night before retiring.
The juice of raw potatoes has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This cleansing results from high content of potassium sulfur, phosphorous & chlorine in the potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they are composed of live organic atoms.
