How do you refer to acne? When I was growing up, we always referred to acne as “pimples.” If I remember correctly, when our daughter was in high school we also called them “zits.” Well, whatever term is used, acne is aggravating and hard to clear up at times. Some people like to use a natural acne treatment to help clear up their skin. And good hygiene, a healthy diet, and enough sleep is always important!
