I looked up some acne home remedies over the net to help a neighbor’s teenage son clear up some of his zits in time for Prom next week. He is allergic to most steroids so ointments will not do. Home-made is our best bet.

According to an article I read online:

For acne you can use a combination of brown sugar and milk. Just add enough milk until it makes a paste. Then put it all over the area you are exfoliating. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Wash it off with a warm wash cloth. When you are done if you have black heads or other acne issues put lemon juice on a cotton ball and rub the area. If you tend to get dry skin do this same thing only with milk.
