Acnes are because of some internal problem. By applying soap/ face wash/ ointments, its not goona be treated. As soap etc only remove dust etc on external surface. To prevent pimples, eating fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided.
For permanent cure you need constitutional medicines, for that I need detailed case history.

Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture.
