Anti bacterial creams and ointments are definitely successful in acne control, but prolonged usage of these medicines can affect your skin adversely. It may result in rashes and also be very hard on your pockets. This article aims to discuss natural acne treatments like home remedies for acne.
Natural acne treatments like home remedies are not only affordable, but also safe, because they do not have any side effects. This is because they are made with natural and simple ingredients that help in acne control and give relief from other skin irritations like eczema, scabies, etc.
Several simple home remedies do exist for acne treatment and acne control. Some of the most effective remedies are:
* Mix ground nutmeg and un-boiled milk. Apply the mixture on the pimples for at least an hour to remove zits or pimple marks.
* Apply raw papaya or ripe tomatoes on the pimples for at least an hour to get rid of pimples.
* Strawberry leaves can also help get rid of acne very fast. The alkaline content in the leaves reduces swelling of the pimple.
* Mix lemon juice and rose water and apply the mixture for half an hour on your face. Follow this for 15 days without fail to cure the pimples.
* To prevent pimples and its accompaniments like blackheads and whiteheads, apply a paste of ground fresh fenugreek leaves by adding water. Do it every night and keep it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
* Make a concoction of roasted and ground pomegranate and fresh limejuice for applying it on the acne.
* Mix ground and powdered neem leaves. Add a few drops of water to make a paste. This is a great remedy for acne control.
Neutrogena Acne Wash.
Use Burt’s Bees Herbal Blemish Stick for spot treatments.
Remember:
- drink water and eat healthy.
- if you wear make up, wash it off at night.
- find a good moisturizer.
Good luck
I had really bad skin growing up. What I use is a "toner" with saltic acid in it, then just use pure aloe vera for moisturizer. It worked great for me.
Aside from the obvious of eating healthy and avoiding junk food, consider taking vitamin B and baking soda scrubs. I also put a bit of salus spray on baking soda and it works remarkably well. Try it. I get the spray from ebay and it lasts forever if refrigerated.
