Outstanding Acne Home Remedies

Introduction

More than 83% of young adults are affected by acne. Medical treatments are effective, but they can be expensive. They may also cause side effects such as skin irritations, soreness and dryness. Isn’t it frustrating to have persistent acne? It’s better to use natural acne remedies which are less expensive and are easily available. Acne may be caused by genetics, diet, stress, hormonal changes, infections, drugs and cosmetics.

There are several precautions you can take to control acne, including:

  1. Hygiene practices: Always keep your face clean and keep it moisturized. Wash your face at least twice daily.
  2. Avoid pricking or pinching the pimples: It spreads bacteria and causes wounds which form scars after healing.
  3. Discontinue the use of make-up: This may help your skin clear up quickly. Besides, the make-up may be unnecessary for your skin.
  4. Maintain a low carbohydrate, salt and refined sugar diet.
  5. Control stress: Begin exercising and taking more water. Do more of what relieves your stress.

Before you treat acne, monitor your lifestyle to see what works for you.

Below are the 4 best acne home remedies:

1) Apple Cider Vinegar:Apply apple cider vinegar on the affected areas daily. Use unfiltered juice from fresh apples. The acidity fights bacteria and fungi, inhibits inflammation and prevents scarring. It also helps to balance the skin’s pH.

2) Tea Tree Oil: It’s an antifungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial, making it gentle and effective in treating the spots. Apply tea tree oil with extra virgin olive oil to the zit. Undiluted tea tree oil may cause irritations.

3) Honey: Although honey has been used as a cough syrup and sore throat reliever, it also possesses antibacterial properties. This helps to reduce inflammation and prevents the growth of C. Acne. For worthwhile results, apply a honey mask on the affected skin overnight and rinse it off the next morning.

4) Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera gel is obtained from the leaves of the Aloe Vera plant. It soothes and moisturizes the skin. It also clears pimples. Apply the gel on the affected skin and leave it overnight.

Conclusion

These remedies give wonderful results within 3 – 4 weeks of use. Consistent use of anti-inflammatory substances like honey and apple cider vinegar prevents acne. Tea tree oil and Aloe Vera help in the treatment and skin care. These acne home remedies, together with proper diet, good hygiene and good health practices, guarantee awesome outcomes.
