Full disclosure, I am no expert, and haven't tried all these items myself, but one of them may work for you, helping you feel in tip-top shape as the new semester begins.

1. Honey

3. Tomatoes

Whether you use them to make a mask, or slice and rub them on your problem spots as is, tomatoes can help dry out your blemishes, stopping them in their tracks.

4. Green Tea

Green tea works to reduce inflammation, and you don’t only have to use it topically – drinking a cup or two can be beneficial, as well.

5. Chamomile

Helping reduce redness and stress, chamomile is a great way to solve your acne troubles from the inside and on the outside.

6. Aloe

Yes, I’m talking about the stuff you put on a sunburn. Just like it can heal the sting of a burn, it can also heal the redness of a blemish – plus fight infection.

7. Apple cider vinegar

This bacteria fighter will help soak up the excess oil and grime on your face, leaving you with a smoother complexion.

8. Exfoliate with Sugar

The grainy texture of sugar makes it perfect for scrubbing off those dead skin layers, allowing for new, smooth ones to grow in their place. Look up DIY sugar scrubs online, and you’ll find tons of easy recipes.

9. Ice

Just like it helps ease bruises, ice can reduce the pain and redness that comes from a breakout, making any zit much more tolerable.

10. Toothpaste

You can use toothpaste as a spot treatment overnight to dry out your zit, but try to use as small a dot as you can, and you’ll be amazed at the results when you wake up in the morning.
