Rid Acne Naturally Tips
Hot/Cold Compresses
A chief natural remedy that is recommended more often than not is the usage of hot and cold wet towel compresses to reduce swelling and eliminate clogged pores--the major culprit in the production of acne.
Drinking
Water -
This natural remedy for acne is simple enough. The premise behind it
the idea that if you drink a sufficient amount of water per day,
typically 7-8 glasses of water a day, your body is cleansed of elements
of toxicity that can actually contribute to the development and spread
of acne.
It also should be noted, that many natural remedies not only recommend to merely drink plain old ordinary water, but actually adding herbal ingredients by boiling fenugreek seeds and corn into the water.
Oils
and Juices -
Though it can seem odd, the benefits of using natural substances like
almond oil - which can actually help with the removal of acne scars -
cannot be ignored.
Apricot juice helps to alleviate the presence of cysts by cutting through them.
-
Cucumber juice - Used as a topical application, either alone or combined with carrot juice, alfalfa or lettuce.
-
Citric fruit juices - These types of juices, such as lemon juice, serve as a natural exfoliate, removing dead skin cells which might cause clogging of the pores.
You should allow it to dry on the face for approximately 10 minutes before rinsing it away with cool water.
Fenugreek
leaves
This remedy provides great prevention of breakouts and involves taking
the fenugreek leaves, crushing them, and making a paste out of them.
You should then apply it to infected areas every night, then wash it
away the following morning with warm water.
Honey
Mask
Because honey has naturally occurring anti-bacterial qualities it is
often applied to the face as a mask, killing surface bacteria.
Typically, the mask should be applied once or twice weekly depending
upon the results of usage.
Distilled
white vinegar
Apply the vinegar as a topical solution, letting it sit on the infected
area for at least 5-10 minutes. Then rinse it thoroughly with cool
water. Often the vinegar can be a little too strong so it is
recommended that you dilute it, though not too much.
Make-up
or Cosmetic Usage
Simply put, this is a common sense remedy for acne. Just avoid using
these products because more than likely the chemicals and oils used to
manufacture them will clog the pores, which, in turn, leads to more
breakouts.
