Home Remedies For Acne
February 25, 2009
Those with sensitive skin tend to have acne. But acne is not reserved for only those with sensitive skin. Even is your skin is properly balanced, you can still have an acne outbreak if you neglect your skin and do not clean it properly.
A skin care routine should consist of washing, exfoliating and adding moisturizer to your face daily. In addition to a cleansing routine, you need to look at how your diet is affecting your skin. Diets high in fats and sugars can attribute to acne. A healthy diet should consist of the proper combination of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and water.
In addition, add vitamins and minerals such as Zinc and Vitamins A and B to your diet. If you are currently suffering from acne, read on to discover how you can treat your skin with basic products found in your own home.
Vinegar is used to detoxify the body but it also works wonders on your skin. Take a cotton ball dipped in vinegar and rub it around your face while massaging it into your skin for approximately two minutes. The vinegar will kill any bacteria on the surface of your skin and deep down in the pores. After applying the vinegar wash your face with cold water. Do not over do it on the vinegar as an excess of vinegar on the skin could lead to irritation.
An oatmeal treatment is a great way to reduce high levels of oil in your skin. Prepare a serving of oatmeal and apply it to your face as a mask. The grittiness of the oatmeal exfoliates and dries out your skin. When you remove the oatmeal mask, wash your face clean with cold water. Cold water is used to close the pores.
Here is a sweet surprise! Create a facial paste made of apples and honey. Remove the skin from an apple and grate it into small pieces. Mix the grated apple with honey and apply it to your face. Keep it on for about twenty minutes. After you remove the apple and honey mixture, wash your face with warm water. This process will show positive changes if you apply the mixture twice a week.
Tea Tree Oil is a natural product found at any herbal store or on the internet. Tea tree oil has been proven to effectively clear up acne and works great when you have a sudden outbreak of acne. Apply tea tree oil to the area of skin that has acne on it. Let it set for fifteen minutes. Wash your face with cold water. Tea tree oil is known to have immediate results.
You may think that Rocky Balboa is the only one that benefits from egg whites. But you too can use egg whites. Blend up some egg whites and a ¾ teaspoon of lemon juice and apply the mixture to your skin. The mixture will harden. You can either keep it on for a half hour or sleep with this mask on overnight. When you are done wearing the egg whites, wash your face with cold water.
Another home remedy to treat acne is a banana. Peel back the banana skin and mash the insides with a tablespoon of honey. Once this mixture is combined well, add sour cream to make a thick paste. This may sound unappealing (no pun intended) but it works wonders. Leave the mixture on your skin until it is completely dry. When it is time to remove the banana mixture, wash it off with cold water.
