Acne Home Remedies
With the rising popularity of natural products, natural healing and
naturopathy as a whole, the popularity of home remedies for various
illnesses and conditions grows as well. Further, with the internet,
resources on home remedies, including acne home remedies, are available
to everyone. This article talks about some common home remedies for
acne.
Home remedies do not necessarily mean 'concoctions' brewed at home,
nor do they mean
acne
products that are not store bought. Acne home remedies simply
mean remedies using ingredients and products you can usually find
in the common home. More specifically, it means acne remedies that
are not purchased as an acne product specifically sold for acne treatment.
Here are some examples of popular acne home remedies:
Rose water solution: rose water, a natural astringent, is becoming
very common in treating skin inflammatory disorders such as acne.
Simply applying rose water to the skin during regular cleansing
routines can significantly reduce acne flare-ups.
Apple cider vinegar: also an astringent, this vinegar is a popular
acne home remedy. Dilute it with water first to see how it affects
your skin, then make the solution stronger if necessary.
Tea Tree Oil: Used world wide for an astounding amount of illnesses
and disorders, tea tree oil can be applied to the skin in small
diluted percentages (about 5% or 1 art to 20 in water) as an acne
home remedy. Tea tree oil can dry the skin; a moisturizer (oil free!)
may be used after tea tree oil to prevent excessive dryness.
Toothpaste: for individual pimples, toothpaste is said to have
healing effects. Applying toothpaste to a pimple before sleeping
can help reduce the redness and inflammation. Obviously not recommended
for severe acne or large areas of skin.
Strawberry leaves, lemon juice and fresh mint: Strawberry leaves
or fresh mint leaves, applied to the face for a few minutes at night,
has been a common acne home remedy for years. Alternately, mixing
lemon juice with water and applying to the face can help control
acne symptoms.
Diet: Probably the most important home remedy, a proper diet helps
your skin get all of its necessary nutrient, allowing it to stay
healthier, pH balanced, and retain it's ability to fight inflammation.
There are many other
acne
solutions and acne home remedies available. A simple search on
the internet will give you plenty of options. Always speak to your
doctor and be aware of your allergies before trying any of the
acne
remedies mentioned here or elsewhere.
