To treat acne at home, here’s what you’ll need: two drops of lavender, four drops of chamomile, one drop of lemon, and ½ tsp of carrot.  According to Beauty and Personality Grooming, here’s a simple method using a homemade solution:  First, clean your skin with a mild soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.  Next, massage the oils you’ve mixed together into the skin (without scrubbing or squeezing the pimples).  Finally, apply a hot compress (made by dipping a towel into hot water) to the areas you have applied the homemade solution.  If your skin does not respond to homemade treatments, it is best that you seek professional help for advice.
