Whether you're prone to the odd breakout or you fight a daily battle with your skin, pimples always seem to show up at the most inopportune moments.  But what if there was a chemical-free way to get rid of them in record time? Beauty vlogger Farah Dhukai claims to have found the holy grail of skin tricks: a natural solution most of us already keep in our kitchen. Dhukai, who is based in Ontario, claims applying a little of the juice from a cut clove of garlic can instantly shrink those annoying under-the-skin spots and make whiteheads vanish overnight. Posting on her Instagram account, the YouTube star demonstrated for her 500,000 followers:

Sure, it might leave you smelling like a pizza, but it's a small price to pay to be zit-free at that work presentation or night out so it's probably worth a try, Do you have a spot remedy we need to know about? Share it on Twitter @HerFamilydotie.
