3) Anti acne
Precisely because of its strong antibiotic and disinfectant properties, garlic is an excellent sidekick in the fight against acne. This is because what causes pimples to appear on the face is a bacteria, propionibacterium acnes. It resides in the sebaceous follicles and, if stressed, gives rise to zits. By using garlic for some time, you can react on the action of this bacteria, limiting its progress. Simply rub a clove of garlic on the affected areas in the evening.
