   I heard that freshly squeezed lemon juice might work as an all-over treatment. It helps kill bacteria an the face. But depending on your skin sensitivity i would water it down just a tad. You’d apply it with a cotton ball. I’d be careful going around scabby or healing ones as this might irritate the skin. You can also find Witch Hazel oil, but this is extremely potent and must be diluted. It should be available in capsules… One thing i personally tried is washing with baking soda. Add a little water to it so it becomes like a paste and GENTLY massage face. It leaves you feeling clean and smooth. But be careful: trying out different types of remedies at one time may lead to even further irritation of the skin whether over the counter or home remedies. Give your skin a rest in between treatments say try one remedy for one week, and rest skin for 4 days, something like that. I hope you find what is best FOR YOU!
