A cne clears up 20% to 100% faster when relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and hypnosis are added to conventional treatments. Good news: While the best improvements come with professional coaching, you can practice these techniques by yourself at home. Helpful: For five to 10 minutes twice a day, sit or lie back in a quiet place, breathe deeply, hold it for five seconds, exhale slowly, repeat. Continue this slow, rhythmic breathing, close your eyes and picture the acne melting away.
