Home remedies for Acne
1.Ice Therapy:
Take a few pieces of ice and apply them directly on the acne scar. Rub them gently for around 10 minutes at a time. For best result follow this procedure at least 3 or 4 times a day. Ice has a great power to overcome the inflammatory process. It also helps to hasten the healing process. It’s recommended by all the famous Doctors. My cousin also uses this Ice cube method whenever she is seeing any acne and after sometimes she gets relief from the inflammation.
2.Lemon Juice:
Directly apply fresh lemon juice on your acne scar and let it on for at least 10-15 minutes. Then wash your face gently. It’s very useful because it will not only reduce your acne scar but also increase your skin tone. People with sensitive skin shouldn’t use lemon juice as this can make their skin red and dull. They can add a few drops of rose water whenever they are using lemon juice for acne.
3.Apple Cider Vinegar:
Usually apple cider vinegar helps to maintain your pH balance rather it helps to make your skin more likable. It fights against the bacteria which reside in your skin due to acne. People don’t usually like the smell of apple cider vinegar but I am telling this is one effective remedy which made my skin acne-free.
Take one part of ACV with 3 parts of water (1:3). Mix it well and after that take a cotton ball and apply it on the affected area. Leave it for about 20 minutes or if you want you can leave it overnight. This will give you a smooth finish to your face. In the morning, wash it well and you will feel the difference in your skin. Your acne will fade out soon if you continuously use it for 2 weeks. If your skin feels dry after using ACV you can use your favorite moisturizer. Don’t let it so dry as it will ultimately overproduce oil.
4.Baking Soda:
It’s a natural cleanser and used in all over the world. If you want to use this for treatment of acne scar then make a thick paste by mixing a small amount of baking soda in the water. Apply the thick paste on acne scar by using circular motions. After around 10-15 minutes, wash the skin gently by using light warm water. Most of these remedies are totally safe for using. Baking soda tends to dry out the places where there’s been acne and ultimately helps to reduce down the stubborn acne. But if you have any other skin problems then Please consult your Doctor before using these method.
5.Tea Tree Oil:
You have heard already about tea tree oil and also heard that it’s effective for acne prone skin. Any doctor will suggest you skin care product and also tea tree oil. It’s because tea tree oil helps to unclogged pores which ultimately will result in good skin. Its antibacterial element will also help against the active bacteria which reside in your skin and will help you to get rid of stubborn acne.
In a bowl, take 6 parts of fresh rose water and 1 part of tea tree oil. Then take a cotton ball and apply the mixture over your acne. After one hour wash it off with cold water. I love to use rose water instead if regular water as rose water helps to soothe your skin. If you want you can also use water.
How I make rose water:
Take one bottle of water and then add with it a lot of rose petal. Keep it in fridge and then take out the bottle and strain the rose petal. I keep it in the fridge for one day in total. It’s very easy to make rose water on your own.
6.Aloe Vera Gel:
You won’t believe the amount of health benefits you will get from aloe vera gel. The soothing agent will help to heal your acne prone skin and as well it will make your skin glow.
Take one Aloe Vera leaf and cut out the gel inside it. Apply the gel on your acne prone area and leave it overnight. In the normal you can feel that there’s some change in your skin. You will see that the stubborn acne has stopped to increase. I used this myself and found it as an awesome remedies for my skin.
Clinical treatment:
Most of the clinical treatments are costly. You can use Laser treatment which is very effective but costly. You can also use these products
- Acne Zine
- Clear Skin Max
- Clear Pores
Best way is that you need to follow a proper skin care routine. Always remember to make your skin clean all the time. After removing makeup use double cleanser to wash your face. Use essence or toner to soothe your skin. Try to exfoliate your skin once a week with any types of good scrubber. Now-a-days there’s lot more serum for brighter, clearer or even skin. You can also use serum containing Vitamin C or tea tree oil based serum to fight against acne.
