Home remedies for acne – Cures that work
There are many home remedies for acne out there so which ones are a must and which ones are a bust? Let me be the first to tell you while there are quite a few suggestions for quick fixes for breakouts the best and most consistent home remedy out there is by far eat a healthy well balanced diet and get adequate amounts of sleep nightly. With that being said there are some homemade cures, which do provide better results than others.
One of these is peppermint, which contains menthol. Menthol has been known as a natural anti-inflammatory medication. For this cure use whole peppermint leaves and crush or grind them up then rub a small amount of leaves and juice on any acne spots you may have. Then wipe off with a warm cloth after 5 to 10 minuets.
Tea tree oil is another effective remedy for acne. This is used as a topical medication and applied strait to acne spots. This works because it contains powerful anti-bacterial agents, which stop acne conditions from worsening and helps to heal them quickly.
Aloe Vera is a popular choice by many because it speed up the healing process in addition to this is eases inflammation and swelling.
My personal favorite home remedy for acne
Is oatmeal and honey combined. To do this first you cook a serving of plain oatmeal then mix in a decent amount of honey and apply to the whole face as a mask. Let it sit for about 10 to 20 minuets. The reason I like this cure is because the oatmeal exfoliates you skin as well as absorbs oil this cleanses your pores. The honey then acts as a skin toner to help your skin reach a good pH balance. I recommend giving this one a try if you haven’t already.
