soy or coconut milk for regular milk to help reduce the intake and

keep your oil at a minimum.

49. Banana peels—Try taking a small piece of banana peel and

rubbing it on the acne for a few minutes. Rub it until the inside of

the peel turns brown. As the peel particles dry on you or face,

your skin absorbs the nutrients and vitamins in the peel. Leave

it on for about 30 minutes and wash it off in warm water. Do this

three times a day. At night, when you use it, it’s alright to leave

the peel particles on your face overnight and wash it off the next

morning.

50. Papaya—They use Papaya in many beauty products you see

advertised today. You don’t, however, have to buy a lot of

products to get the benefit of Papaya. Raw papaya works even

better, and it’s a natural acne remedy. It will help remove dead

skin cells as well as excess lipids from the skin. Papa also helps

with inflammation, due to the enzyme papain which it contains.

It’s easy to use. Simply rinse your face with water and pat it dry.

Take the flesh of a papaya and mash it thoroughly. You’ll want it

to have a consistency that you can apply to your skin. Put it on

the affected areas. Allow it to remain on your skin for

approximately 20 minutes and then rinse it off. Use warm water

and pat dry. If your skin dries out after you cleanse, you should

find a natural moisturizer that is appropriate for the type of skin.
