Acne is a very popular skin disease or infection among many people and some adult too. It can appear anywhere on your body and can make you feel really embarrassed and less confident especially when in company with other people. Home treatments for acne are effective and inexpensive and generally include the use of holistic ingredients most people already have in their home. Following are a few effective acne treatments:
Keeping your skin clean is important. This includes your face as well as your entire body. If you are currently using a fragrant soap, stop. Use a non fragrant soap instead. There are a number of unscented products made specifically for skin that is prone to acne and they can be found at your local drug store.
After cleansing use a good astringent & a toner to soothe your skin. Lemon juice is a natural astringent and mild antibacterial agent. Rose petals, from which rose water is made, also have antibacterial properties. It is a also a skin toner and helps to mitigate the rather harsh, acidic quality of straight lemon juice.
Zinc will help your skin to heal faster. It is also provided in aftercare packages from piercing and tattoo shops due to it's healing abilities.
You should apply ice cubes directly to your skin. It will shrink the acne or cause the swelling on your body to reduce. You can do this between 4-5 minutes and then you can apply some grounded aspirin on your acne. Although you may experience some pains but in the end this remedy does work.
The use of exfoliating or scrub products is not recommended. These are meant to remove any dead skin cells, not pimples. These products will only irritate your blemishes. Keep your skin care products to a minimum. Using to many products at one time will do nothing more than cause additional irritation. Check the products you use and make sure you select the right product for your skin type. Using the wrong product can cause a breakout.
Pulverize 1/3 cup uncooked oats and then add cup of water. When it becomes the consistency of paste, add approximately 1/4 cup honey and mix thoroughly and allow to cool then apply on the pimples for 10-20 minutes. Do not leave it on too long or it will become difficult to remove. You can also try oatmeal, yogurt and sour cream with a few drops of lemon juice. These ingredients are mixed together and applied on affected areas for 15 minutes and then rinsed with water.
For Normal to Oily Skin, Mix 1 part Tea Tree Oil with 9 parts water. More tea tree oil can be added if wanted, but never apply pure tea tree oil directly to the skin.
