If you think you have to go out of your way and spend a ton of money on expensive, over-priced over-the-counter acne treatment products then you are dead wrong. There are so many things that are probably lying around your house that you can use in the treatment of acne. Just read through this article and you’ll discover the many different ways to combat this terrible skin affliction without dropping hundreds on useless products.

The first food you probably have in your house already is garlic. There are two different ways you can use this food to treat your skin. You can either crush up one garlic bulb and apply it to the effected areas one a day, or you can actually eat one or two bulbs of garlic each day, although most will opt for the previous.

Egg whites are another known way of treating acne effectively. All you have to do is get a few egg whites, mix them in a bowl, and simply apply them to the effected areas on your skin daily. Egg whites extract the excess oils present in your skin.

You can also use toothpaste on your skin as well. Although no study has actually proven toothpaste to work in treating acne, it’s worth a try. You probably already have a tube in the bathroom anyway. Simple squeeze out a finger-tip full and apply to the areas on your skin where acne is present.

Use baking soda as a facial scrub to apply on your skin daily. You probably already have a little box of it in your cupboard so it’s nice and convenient. You just mix some in a bowl with water and apply.

Salt and water mixed together has been known to reduce the swelling and irritation caused by acne. It also extracts excess oils from your skin.
