Acne is something that everyone suffers from whether it's a teenager or an adult. And let's be honest, it can be quite a pain (literally) to deal with. While you can always opt for topical treatments and medication, it's always good to also try some natural home remedies on the side since those have minimal side effects. They do the job without causing any other problems. One such ingredient that can help banish acne from your skin is aloe vera. Known for its soothing and healing properties, this plant works miracles and can help give you clean and clear skin. Here are some remedies using aloe vera you should try out. Take a look.

Aloe vera and honey - Mix 1 tbsp aloe vera gel with 1 tbsp honey. Once mixed, apply this mixture to your face or all the affected areas and let it sit for a good 15-20 minutes. Rinse it off with some cold water later on.

Aloe vera and lemon juice - You'll need 2 tbsp aloe vera gel and ¼ tbsp lemon juice. Mix these two ingredients together in a bowl and apply it to the affected areas. Leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and then rinse it off thoroughly.

Aloe vera and almond oil - You'll need 1 tbsp aloe vera gel and 4-5 tbsp almond oil. Mix the two ingredients together and apply the concoction to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off with some cold water.

Aloe vera gel - Chop off an aloe leaf and slit it from the middle. Scoop out the gel from inside the leaf and apply it all over your face. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning.

Remember to do a patch test on your skin before you try these remedies on your face. Stay tuned for more updates.
