Removing acne And blackheads – the home way

February 26, 2009

Ladies are particularly concerned when they have pimples, acne, or blackheads on their face. There are various reasons for the occurrence of these spots like hormonal changes, dietary habits, careless skin care, etc. Using an antibacterial face wash can help curb the situation to a certain extent.

Avoid using facial creams and products containing isopropyl isostearate, socetyl stearate, isopropyl palmitate, sodium chloride and isopropyl myristate as they aggravate the condition.

The best way to treat blackheads and acne is to use the home remedies. These are proven and effective, cheap and safe.

First check for any allergies to the ingredients you would be using.

A few of the remedies using ingredients readily available at home are given below:

Make a paste of nutmeg and milk. Apply to the affected area. Acne will disappear without a trace.

Combine 3 tbsp honey and 1 tsp cinnamon powder. Coat the acne with this mixture and leave overnight then wash off with warm water the next morning. Continuous treatment for 2 weeks and the acne will disappear permanently.

Dissolve 1 tsp cinnamon powder in 1 tsp of lemon juice and apply over the affected area.
.
Orange peel ground into a paste with little water and applied over the acne is also effective. Rubbing fresh garlic over the acne is also effective.

To prevent blackheads and acne, apply a thin layer of 1 tsp groundnut oil and 1 tsp of fresh lime juice on the skin. Applying fresh mint juice and leaving it overnight can treat pimples.

Fresh fenugreek leaves paste applied on the face for about 10 to 15 minutes can help prevent wrinkles, pimples, and blackheads.

A paste of sandalwood powder and black lentil applied overnight can help close the large pores on the skin of the face and help in getting rid of acne scars. Sandalwood paste applied with rosewater can also give a blemish free skin. Rubbing ice cubes helps tighten the pores and reduces occurrence of pimples.

Cucumber juice applied and left for 15 minutes tightens the pores and resists wrinkle formation.

Rub the skin with a slice of tomato. Wash off after 15 minutes with cold water. This method reduces open pores and is especially good for oily skin or to remove sun tan.
