Garlic has antimicrobial properties that make it ideal for combating the bacteria that can cause acne. To prevent irritation, you should always dilute it before you apply it to your skin. Peel a clove of garlic, then mash it up with water or aloe vera juice.
Apply the mixture directly to your pimple, rubbing it in gentle circles over the inflamed area. Let it soak in for an hour or so before rinsing it off with water. If the area starts to get red or painful, remove it sooner.
