They really are a bother, especially when you donβt know how to get rid of them. To help you out, below are 5 home remedies for acne that you can try out!
Ice
One way to lessen all that inflammation and pain around that pimple is by using ice. All you need to do is take some of in a clean fabric and dab it on your acne for quite a while. I know it’ll freeze, but believe me, that’s what you truly want! It’s simple, the chill working to constrict the blood vessels and tighten the pores. The cold application will also help relieve pain and inflammation benefitting your skin.
Steaming and Tea Tree Oil
If you’re looking for fast and effective home cures for acne, this method could work magic for you immediately! All you need to do is take some warm water and a towel and steam up the face for about five minutes. This can help open your entire clogged skin pores. Now comes the tea tree oil, which you are able to apply immediately onto the acne. The open skin pores can help the oil go through to the damaged areas for the maximum benefit. The oil is packed with antibacterial properties and has great pain minimizing properties with no side effects of peeling epidermis or awful rashes.
Aloe Vera
It’s likely you have heard about how beneficial Aloe Vera is for the skin. By using it regularly, it can help you to get perfect pores and skin. Its antitoxins help fight the dangerous radicals in the surroundings to avoid those aging lines and wrinkles. Besides this, it also moisturizes your skin, replenishing its water content.
Honey
Honey is a great source of antioxidants.
Studies show that applying antioxidants to the skin is more effective in treating acne than retinoids and benzoyl peroxide. Apply a teaspoon of honey to the affected area and leave it on for 30 minutes. You can also mix it with fresh strawberries (which are high in salicylic acid) and use it as your facial scrub two times a week.
Apple Cider Vinegar
You might have heard about this hack very often. To utilize this hack, dab just a little vinegar on a clean cotton swab and put it on onto a pimple. Do that once or twice to make certain that a pimple is well drenched in the vinegar. Leave the vinegar on overnight. Apple cider vinegar has tons of lactic acids that help get rid of off the bacteria and aid healing.
