Students have a lot of deadlines adding up to the pressure of teen life. I remember when I was in college, we had too much work to do — projects, theater, film production — and I was nt prepared to handle everything at once. Result, pimples.

We have a lot products available in the market now, as well as chemical peelings and lasers for the skin, done by topnotch doctors and dermatologists (in posh clinics, usually). But for the eco-nscious teen in need of an acne treatment, you might wanna try going natural and make use of herbs.

Tea tree oil, for one, is a natural treatment for blemishes, and is said to even fight acne. Licorice Extract, on the other hand, clears the blemishes (I think because it “whitens”). Green Tea extracts are also said to have the same effect as tea tree, while the aloe vera extract reduces the appearance of scars.

Of course, water is still best.
