Acne nightmare

Most of us probably had acne and it’s really frustrating if they just keep coming back. Some may have wasted money trying out expensive products and treatments hoping their acne to be gone for good but why pay such high price if you can find remedies on your kitchen.

Below are  just some of the inexpensive household stuff known to treat acne.

Baking Soda: Baking soda can be used as a great scrub alternative. It exfoliates the skin, removes the dead skin cells on your skin and unclogs your pores in the process. Mix small amounts of water with the baking soda so it has a paste like form, then gently massage it on your skin for about ten to fifteen seconds. Once that is done, begin rinsing it off with water and then dry the area with a clean towel.

Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar is a commonly used ingredient to cure acne; as it not only kills the bacteria, which is a big contributor to acne problems, but it balances your skin’s pH level and absorbs excessive oil from your skin. The vinegar should be diluted before you begin the process: approximately eight parts water and two parts vinegar. Once that is done, apply the solution directly to your skin with clean cotton, leave it there for about ten minutes, then rinse it off a bit later. It can also be applied to larger problem areas, whereas more of a concentrated vinegar solution (2 or 3 parts water with 1 part vinegar) is used.

Lemon and Lime: Lemon and/or lime juice can be used as another substitute for vinegar; as it contains citric acid. Either the lemon or the lime may be used for exfoliating purposes, which will also halt the growth or spread of acne infections.

Egg Whites: Another common and powerful method is that of egg whites. Egg whites, which are very rich in protein, can be used as a “mask” to heal and rejuvenate your skin, which helps to repair your acne problem areas. They also can be used to absorb a lot of excessive oil on your skin.

Oatmeal: Oatmeal, like many of these other products, absorbs excessive oil and draws out the impurities clogged deep inside your pores. Simply heat up some oatmeal, let it cool for a short while, then apply it to your face. Leave the oatmeal on your face for a little bit, then remove it after it starts drying up. Doing this method on a regular basis will show positive results, but it may take weeks to see the effects.

Tea Tree Oil: Tea Tree Oil is one of the most commonly used all-natural household antiseptics that can be used to treat acne. You can strongly dilute it with some jojoba oil in order to treat your acne spots directly, killing off all the bacteria. Tea tree gel can also be applied to your entire face; as it is much more diluted and quite easy to apply.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Taking 2.5 grams of Pantothenic acid in tablet form, 4 times per day, will prove to be a gigantic help for those that suffer from acne. Pantothenic acid acts to help the body metabolize fats, which are later turned into sebum and excreted through the skin; which actually causes most acne problems. Pantothenic acid must be taken in large quantities, as small quantities will not have a very noticeable effect.

Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera has been used for centuries as a tropical application for the treatment of burns. When applied to the skin, it helps by preventing scaring and fade marks, as well as helps in the healing process of acne spots.
