Reliable Acne Treatment - Tips On How To Treat Acne Naturally

By Debora Pouncey


There are all sorts of acne treatment solutions available at drugstores. For someone who wants to deal with this worrisome skin condition the natural way, look no further. Certain home remedies found below are proven effective in solving the problem.

Keeping the pores clog-free helps prevent breakouts from happening. Aside from dirt, dead skin cells can actually cause blockage that may lead to bacterial infection. Instead of using facial scrubs with very coarse beads and other harsh chemicals that create a stinging sensation, go for a mixture of 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon honey. If honey is not available, add olive oil instead. Use this like your usual facial scrub, not more than 1 to 2 times a week.

Keep your face from looking too greasy by absorbing excess oil. Other than to appear clean and fresh, it is also done to keep bacterial multiplication at bay. A mask out of cooked oatmeal may be applied all over the facial area, letting it stay there for not less than 15 minutes. Make sure that you allow the oatmeal to cool down before using.

You may place thin slices of potatoes on the affected areas instead of oatmeal. Aside from absorbing too much oil, they also help make scars less evident. It's also possible to grate a potato to extract the juice which may be applied with a cotton ball.

Egg white contains amino acids that help repair and strengthen the skin, coming in handy most especially during flare ups. Open an egg and ditch the yolk. Beat the white part and apply thinly all over your face. Allow it to stay there for several minutes until the mask is completely dry, making the skin taut. Wash off the mask thoroughly with water afterwards.

Skin suffering from the dreaded condition can be improved by the antioxidant properties of ascorbic acid. Also known as vitamin C, it helps protect the skin and soothe damaged areas. What's more, its acidity can lighten the appearance especially of dark scars. Some wonderful sources of this powerful nutrient may already be found in the kitchen or your ref.

For instance, you may slice a tomato thinly and place each of them on the affected areas as you relax. You may also apply freshly squeezed lemon or orange juice with the use of a cotton ball. If you feel a stinging sensation, dilute the acidic liquid with equal parts of water for a milder home acne treatment that can help in healing the skin and making scars less visible.
