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.
