Home Remedies for
Acne Cure
Everybody has the choice to
go to a doctor and treat acne but for the sake of convenience, some
have opted to treat acne using home remedies. Listed below
are proven home remedies for acne but as a reminder some of
these will work for you while others may not.
Here is our first
remedy: get a yogurt and fine oatmeal. Combine these to
make a thick paste and then apply on the infected area.
Leave it there to dry.
Later, you can wash it with lukewarm water and then pat it
dry with a clean towel. Once you’ve done, you can now apply
any antibiotic prescribed by your dermatologist.
There are also special
types of toothpaste which have been
known to show healing wonders. Just apply the paste
before sleeping time and this would help alleviate
swelling of the acne. Besides toothpaste, strawberry
leaves can also do a good job. Place the strawberry leaves on the
acne and its alkalinic properties will help reduce the
inflammation. In case you wanted to wash your face after
putting on the remedy, consider using lukewarm water with
salt. This would help manage the oil albeit temporarily.
Another
great remedy is to use a soap or gel that has Aloe Vera as
its basic ingredient. Aloe Vera has been known to help in
the healing of common damages to the skin.
You can also mix 1 teaspoon of
lemon juice with a teaspoon of finely
ground cinnamon powder and put this on the affected area. Do
this before bedtime, and then in the morning after you wake
up, wash your face with lukewarm water. For those who have
large pimples, you can apply some ice on it to
reduce the
swelling. If you’re thinking of another remedy, then mix
some lime juice and rose water then apply this to the acne.
Leave it there for 15-20 minutes then wash again with
lukewarm water preferably mixed with salt.
Other remedies that can help
reduce the inflammation or swelling of acne is through the
use of fruits. If you have tomatoes, you can use the pulp
and apply it to the acne or pimples. Just leave it there for
an hour then wash.
