From mild to severe, acne can cause painful and unsightly outbreaks on the face and if left untreated, it can lead to scarring. Fortunately, there are many safe home remedies available for acne. Some of which are;
Apply Apple Cider Vinegar
How to Use It:
Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar and 3 parts water (use more water for sensitive skin).

Let sit for 5–20 seconds, rinse with water and pat dry.
Repeat this process 1–2 times per day, as needed.
It is important to note that applying apple cider vinegar to your skin can cause burns and irritation, so it should always be used in small amounts and mixed with water.
