There are so many ointments out there that you can use in order to make your skin healthier and happier. One way you can use a toner is by using vitamin C on your skin. You can use lemon juice specifically to make your skin healthier. Inspiring Pretty.com's author writes,Helpful Acne Ointments Articles "Lemon works as a toner like apple cider vinegar and rubbing alcohol, but because it is so acidic, it can't be left on your face for very long. Apply lemon juice to your face as a toner, and wash off after 15 minutes."

Another ointment you can use is brown sugar, "In the shower, once your skin is damp (and your pores have been opened up by the heat), scrub the acne problem areas with brown sugar. This will clean out dirt, dead skin cells and oil clogging your pores and soften your skin as well." You will notice that your skin is better the next day.

But this is not the only ointment out there. There is "Smash two peeled garlic cloves into a pulp or until you can squeeze juice out of it. Apply the juice to your face and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. There's not much science behind this treatment, but it does work. The good thing is that you can use this treatment as often as you want, but don't leave it on for extended periods of time, because it may eventually burn your skin." It sounds like an easy way to clean your skin, right? And it is affordable, too.

According to Livestrong, there are lots of at-home remedies. As much as I love the idea of purchasing magical products that help heal your acne, I always prefer a cheaper, more cost-effective products. For example, orange peels are an effective way to battle acne. "Grab an orange and make an at-home facial mask suggests experts at Bowie State University. Grind the peel of one orange into a ball. A cheese grater works well. Mix together with a small amount of water. Ensure that the hands are clean and spread the orange paste over the affected blemishes. Let it sit for a minimum of 30 minutes to decrease acne swelling. Rinse with lukewarm water." ( http://www.livestrong.com/article/78190-rid-acne-things-home/#ixzz2SA2kfUP1)

Another at home remedy is use lemon juice. "Cut open a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice into a small container. Soak up the juice with a cotton ball and apply to freshly cleaned skin. Be aware that a sting may be felt upon the start of the treatment"

And finally, you can use mind! "Decrease acne inflammation by applying fresh ground mint to the breakout says the Granny Med site. Chop fresh peppermint into small pieces--and a small amount of water."

Whatever you do, drink a lot of water, wash your face twice a day, and keep it moisturized.
