Beware while using garlic for acne

In spite of being smelly, garlic seems to be popular in giving the impression that it helpful in getting rid of acne and its scars.

But one must be careful while using garlic to ‘treat’ the acne. Never apply pure garlic to the skin or leave garlic skin treatments on your skin for more than five minutes, as garlic contains sulfuric acid which can burn and even blister the skin.

Thoroughly rinse the garlic paste with warm water, and it will leave no trace of smell on your skin; and also prevent any buring and/or blistering of your skin.
