Acne and skin rashes are a common part of life. In today's world with excessive pollution nearly everyone is prone to facial scars. Here are some ways in which you can tackle these problems.

Indrayani Pawar who is a leading dietician stated 3 common reasons that lead to acne.


1. Drinking excessive coffee:

Drinking excessive coffee can trigger acne. In fact, even the milk and sugar in coffee are dietary triggers. So, next time go easy on your intake of the beverage.


2. Eating highly processed food

When you eat highly processed food it triggers an insulin spike in the body. So you should avoid baked, fried and junk food as these are triggers of acne.


3. Stress

Yes, stress is a leading factor which causes pimples. Stress leads to a hormonal imbalance in the body which causes your skin to break out.



Dr Raina Nahar, consultant, dermatologist and cosmetologist shared 3 home remedies to cure acne.


1. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is an essential oil that can be used for several purposes, including keeping skin, hair, and nails healthy. Mix one part oil with six to nine parts of water and then you can use it directly on your skin and leave it on for 30 minutes. Moisturise afterwards.


2. Ice cubes

Ice cubes are a great way to reduce inflammation and reduce the appearance of blemishes on your skin. Although it may sound simplistic this method is extremely useful.


3. Apple cider vinegar

We swear by this product. Just mix apple cider vinegar in the ratio of one part vinegar and 2 parts water. Apply it on your skin for 30 seconds and then rinse it off.
