Prevention of Acne (Pimples)

* Constipation is the main reason of acne. Treat it immediately, if you have.

* Drink lots of water to prevent major skin problems.

* Avoid eating chocolate, fried food, and refined sugar, although no specific food has been found to cause acne for everybody. Some may get acne by eating chocolate, while others by fried foods.

* Keep your skin always clean by washing your face twice a day with very mild soap and lukewarm water in a circular motion. Do not scrub your face, which can irritate the skin. The aim of washing is to remove dirt and oil from the pores.

* Do not try to prick and peel the acne as this can leave permanent marks on the face.

* Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

* Eating a natural diet consiting of minimum processed foods will serve as a defence against acne.

* Take B-complex and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.

* Apply cucumber paste on your face. Wash it off after 20-30 minutes with lukewarm water.

* Apply a decoction on the face, made by boiling 1 teaspoon fenugreek - dana methi seeds in 1 liter water for a few of minutes for preventing pimples, blackheads, dryness and wrinkles.
