I have always had acne ever since I was 18 and I still get acne even now that I am a more matured adult.
I have been told so many times that the best and probably the most effective acne treatment is Benzoyl Peroxide.
But the truth is, I have used so many acne cleansers that contain this ingredient in them, yet sometimes I still manage to get acne - Probably you too ? Of course, over-the-counter acne products would not work sometimes if your skin grows immune to the cleanser that you probably have been using for the past couple of months.
May you are one of those who are too lazy or too busy to drive down to the closest Rite-Aid or Walgreen's to find a convient solution to their acne.
Therefore, here are some of the 6 best known home remedies for curing acne.
These are simply the best home remedies for curing acne and I am very sure they would work for you as they worked and are still working for me.
1) Lemon and Lime Lemon and/or lime juice can be used as another substitute for vinegar; as it contains citric acid.
Either the lemon or the lime may be used for exfoliating purposes, which will also halt the growth or spread of acne infections.
2) Warm Salt Water If you have really oily skin, use warm (not hot) salt water to wash your face.
Salt water cleans the skin, getting rid of the excess oil.
Regular store bought salt can be used but natural sea salt is even better.
3) Oatmeal Mask Oatmeal Mask is a great home remedy for curing acne that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
You can either cook the oatmeal, then put it in the refrigerator until cool, or you can mix the uncooked oatmeal with water (purified water is best for your skin) until it forms a paste.
Either way, apply it to your face and leave it on for about 30 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry.
Use this mask twice a day.
4) Aloe Vera Aloe Vera has been used for centuries as a tropical application for the treatment of burns.
When applied to the skin, it helps by preventing scaring and fade marks, as well as helps in the healing process of acne spots.
5) Baking Soda Baking soda can be used as a great scrub substitute.
It exfoliates the skin, removes the dead skin cells on your skin and unclogs your pores in the process.
Mix small amounts of water with the baking soda so it has a paste like form, then gently massage it on your skin for about ten to fifteen seconds.
Once that is done, begin rinsing it off with water and then dry the area with a clean towel.
6) Vinegar Vinegar or apple cider vinegar is a natural bacteria killer and absorbs oil.
Take a cotton ball and soak it in the vinegar (either kind of vinegar will do) diluted with water, and apply it to the acne areas.
Many have had success using this 6 home remedies for curing acne but my advice to you is that you should be careful not to use so much of any the list remedies.
Start slowly and then gradually add more.
This because your skin may be too sensitive to any the listed home remedies for curing acne but hopefully, you'll find a remedy that can suit you and help you clear up your skin!
