How to Treat Acne with Garlic

Garlic is a not only a flavorful accent to many dishes, it is also a potent antibiotic. You can rub a dab of garlic juice (from the raw clove) onto a blemish for one to three minutes to kill off the bacteria surrounding the blemish.

Instructions

The Gift of Garlic

1

Wash your hands thoroughly. Make sure to wash between your fingers, around your wrists and under your fingernails.

2

Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil. Pat dry with a clean towel.

3

Peal away the skin around the garlic clove and separate one clove from the bunch.

4

Slice the end of the clove with a clean, sharp knife. You will be able to see the garlic juice.

5

Place the end of the clove (the juicy side) on the blemishes. Dab the end and move on to the next blemish, if any. This may sting!
