11 natural remedies for zits
By Hello Natural
Growing out of my teen years, I thought zits would become a funny (although painful) memory of the past. Guess what-they didn't! Every once in a while, a solitary pimple appears just before a special event, as if to remind me about a certain guy called Murphy and his law. After trying toothpaste and other silly ways of zit-zapping, I've rounded up the best natural remedies for zits, and decided to stick with these tried-and-true homemade methods.
