Breakout on the skin can occur in the form of

• whiteheads
• pimples
• blackheads
• cysts

It can leave facial scars if not treated. Acne is a common condition that reaches its peak during adolescence and may continue to persist well into adulthood. Working out in the gym, avoiding fried food and increasing water intake may help prevent acne breakouts. But if nothing seems to work for you, Ayurvedic remedies for skin diseases can be your saviour.

2. Exfoliate regularly Exfoliation is the process of removing the top layer of dead skin cells. It may improve acne by removing the skin cells that clog pores. Exfoliating may also make acne treatments for the skin more effective by allowing them to penetrate deeper, once the topmost layer of skin is removed.
   Currently, the research on exfoliation and its ability to treat acne is limited.
   Note that mechanical exfoliation can be irritating and may damage the skin. As such, some dermatologists recommend gentle chemical exfoliation with salicylic or glycolic- acid products.
   If you choose to try mechanical exfoliation, gently rub your skin to avoid damaging it. How to
   • Mix equal parts sugar (or salt) and coconut oil.
   • Gently rub your skin with the mixture and rinse well.
   • Exfoliate as often as desired, up to once daily.
3. Take a fish oil supplement Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that offer a multitude of health benefits. Fish oils contain two main types of omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
   Showed that high levels of EPA and DHA can decrease inflammatory factors, which may reduce the risk of acne.
   You can also get omega-3 fatty acids by eating:
   • salmon
   • sardines
   • anchovies
   • walnuts
   • chia seeds
   • ground flax seeds
   • fish oil supplements
4. Apply apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar is made by fermenting apple cider, or the unfiltered juice from pressed apples. Like other vinegars, research has noted its ability to fight many types of bacteria and fungi.
   According to research from 2017, the lactic acid in apple cider vinegar may also improve the appearance of acne facial scars.
   While certain components of apple cider vinegar may help with acne, there’s currently no evidence to support its use for this purpose. Some dermatologists advise against using apple cider vinegar at all, as it may irritate the skin.
   How to
   • Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar and 3 parts water (use more water for sensitive skin).
   • After cleansing, gently apply the mixture to the skin using a cotton ball.
   • Let it sit for 5 to 20 seconds, rinse with water and pat dry.
   • Repeat this process 1 to 2 times per day, as needed.
   
   It’s important to note that applying apple cider vinegar to your skin can cause burns and irritation, and most dermatologists wouldn’t recommend it. If you choose to try it, use it in small amounts and dilute it with water.
5. Spot treat with tea tree oil Tea tree oil is an essential oil that’s extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Australia.
   A 2018 study Studies found that applying tea tree oil to the skin may reduce acne.
   Tea tree oil is very potent, so always dilute it before applying it to your skin. How to
   • Mix 1 part tea tree oil with 9 parts water.
   • Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and apply it to the affected areas.
   • Apply moisturizer if desired.
   • Repeat this process 1 to 2 times per day, as needed.
6. Reduce stress The link between stress and acne is not fully understood.
   When you’re stressed, you might also be more likely to pick at spots on your face. Touching or picking your skin more than absolutely necessary can increase acne by spreading bacteria.
