Sir: You might have something in your pantry or in your fridge with astringent qualities that you could use without having to make a trip to the store. If you are trying to clear up acne as quickly as possible, consider using any of the following natural ingredients: banana peels are helpful in treating insect and mosquito bites, and may be helpful in reducing the size of some pimples. Gently rub the banana peel over the affected area.

Also try putting the banana peel with a dash of salt, a teaspoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of maple syrup in the blender. Apply on your face and leave for seven minutes. Wash with a face wash and dry. Another great astringent is green tea that is packed with lots of antioxidants, which help reduce signs of aging by fighting free radicals. Steep a tea bag in some hot water, remove the tea bag along with all the liquid, and place onto the affected area briefly. And last but not the least, a tomato has acid that will break down pimples and reduce them.

The acid closes your pores and fights bacteria. Apply one half of the whole to your face on one side, and the other half to the other side of your face. It will bring wonderful results.
