Simple Ways To Use Tomato For Acne & Pimples

Acne, which is medically known as acne vulgaris, is a very common but stubborn skin issue that everyone wants to get rid of. People aged between 12 and 25 are more prone to acne. It is not only painful but also makes the skin look ugly. Apart from that, it leaves behind unsightly scars that take years to fade.
