After taking steam, use face pack (15 minutes) and after washing the face pack, use ice cold water or ice cubes (in handkerchief) to close the pores of the face. If you have acne or pimples, do not touch it (this is a preventive procedure).
• If the face is dull and tongue is white or yellow, then take Pulsatilla 3 or 6- two globules 4 times a day.
• If the face is dry and red and tongue is red, then take Belladona 6- two globules 4 times a day.
• If the person is obese or listless and tongue is white, then take Antimony Crude- two globules 3 times a day.
• If pustules are filled with pus, then take Calcarea Sulphurica 6 or 12- two globules 3 times a day.
• When dry, rough skin with pimples, then take Berberis Aquifolium (tincture)- 4 to 5 drops of tincture in a table spoon of water 3 times a day.
• Eat leafy vegetables and fruits and drink minimum 8 glasses of water during the day. Do not eat fried food and keep the digestive system clean.

Note: When the problem is 60% to 70% under control, stop taking the homoeopathic medicines.
