natural treatments and remedies for acne?
I have combination skin(oily and dry) and i would say my skin is mediocre. I don't have bad skin, but it's not perfectly clear of blemishes, either. I've noticed i tend to breakout more when i'm menstruating or when i eat greasy and oily foods(mayonnaise or peanut butter or sometimes too much chocolate). I use Neutrogena oil free daily scrub and blackhead eliminating scrub and those work for me. However, what are natural remedies to make my skin even better? Does rice water really help, and does it have to be organic or can it be normal rice?

# Become well-acquainted with baking soda. Seriously, it may seem odd, but baking soda has become one of my best allies in fighting acne. Simply make a paste of baking soda and water (you want to aim for a slightly-thinner than toothpaste consistency) and rub it gently on your skin for about 30 seconds after you have used your facial cleaner. Then, rinse it off gently with warm water. While you can use this two times a day (morning and night), I recommend only using it at night, as it can irritate sensitive skin. As we all know, irritation can only make acne worse.
