6 Natural Home Remedies That May Help
To Improve Your Acne
You you
have been struggling to cope with your acne by using over
the counter medications with little or no success, you may
want to consider the following all natural home
remedies.
Not
only may any or all of these remedies improve your
condition, but they will only cost you mere pennies as
opposed to tens and hundreds of
dollars.
If you
have no success with any of these treatments, do not get
discouraged. I know that it is easier said than done. But
the only way to finding a successful treatment for your skin
condition is to keep searching.
In any
event, I hope that you will find some hope in one of the
following remedies.
Good
Luck.
Baking soda and
toothpaste These products are often
recommended as quick home remedies for acne. While some
find they work like a charm, others have negative
reactions, so use them with care. If you have sensitive
skin, try baking soda first. Just take a little baking
soda/water paste or plain toothpaste (not gel or
whitening toothpaste), dab it on your blemishes, leave
it for fifteen to twenty minutes, then gently wash it
off. Don't try leaving it on overnight before you know
how skin will react, though. Some find this treatment
tingles or burns a bit, but if causes real pain,
wash it off immediately because it can leave burn marks
or even scars on some skin types.
2)
Mint
Besides smelling nice, mint also works as a gentle and
quick home remedy for acne. Pick up some fresh mint leaves
from a grocer or farmers' market. Squeeze the juice from
the leaves and apply it to your face before you go to bed.
If you have trouble getting the juice out, mash the leaves
into a paste with water and leave this paste on your face
for 15 minutes or so.
3) Lemon and
rosewater
Another natural home remedy with a pleasant scent is lemon.
The simplest way to use lemon as a quick acne remedy is
just to rub a piece on your face. For a stronger treatment,
mix fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from a lemon, not from a
bottle) with rose water, which can be found in Middle
Eastern foods shops, and apply to affected skin. Leave this
on for half an hour, then rinse it off. Lighter cases of
acne may clear in a few days, while tougher cases may take
a few weeks to completely disappear. Some people mix in
cinnamon or coriander, but use these spices with caution as
they can irritate sensitive skin.
4) Green tea and
carrots
Green tea has
anti-bacterial roperties and the antioxidants it contains
have a proven ability to prevent acne. To take advantage of
this, boil a carrot (also know for their antioxidant
properties) until it's soft enough to mash. Then make a cup
of green tea and mix the tea and mashed carrot to form a
paste. Put this paste on your blemishes and leave it on for
approximately 15 minutes.
5) Oranges and
eggs
To turn orange peels into a quick home remedy for acne, grind
the peels and mix them with water to form a paste. Apply this
paste to the affected parts of your face and leave it on twenty
or thirty minutes. Another acne treatment using oranges is a
mix of orange juice (again, from an orange, not a bottle) and
egg white. Apply this to your face for 15 minutes to help clear
the pores.
6)
Garlic
Garlic both disinfects and acts as an astringent. This natural
treatment works even on persistent forms of adult acne. Just
cut open a garlic clove and rub it gently on your skin to cover
the blemishes with juice. It may take a few treatments for the
acne to disappear, but you should see improvements within
days.
The above
remedies may be great for treating some acne symptoms and
clearing your skin temporarily, bu they may not serve as
cures.
Acne is
treatable for the long run. But you have to discover WHY you
have the condition. Once you get at the root of the problem,
then you can set about truly curing your
condition.
You should
never stop trying to cure your acne. If you stop treating it
you can be left with scars and no one wants
that.
Although there are many pharmaceutical medications out there
that treat acne, none are really presented as cures except
maybe Accutane which is very toxic and it may on me a temporary
fix.
You should
consider serious diet and lifestyle changes as out lined in
the ebook Acne Free In 3
Days.

So give
theses home remedies a shot to clear up what you have now.
But also look for a long lasting cure that can get rid of
your acne condition forever.
