How To Manage Acne With Home Remedies?

Acne can be a very irritating condition and often drives many folks to despair leading them to try quick-fix solutions and only end up worse than before. There are numerous over-the-counter preparations aimed at acne and many a marketer capitalizes on the patient's despair. Beware of many of these products as the skin is a sensitive organ and applying chemicals without ascertaining their value will lead to a lifetime of scarring.

I have come across many home based remedies for acne that are not only effective but also very safe to the skin as these are remedies that can be made at home using natural ingredients. Try some of these remedies and see for yourself.

1. Add a spoon of honey to a cup of hot buttermilk. Apply the preparation on the skin and leave it for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and this is seen to work wonders for acne.

2. Mix two garlic pods in some vinegar and dab it over the acne marks every evening for two weeks. This is an effective remedy for acne.

3. Apply Cucumber juice to the acne affected areas and rinse with lukewarm water after 15 minutes. This is one of the best home remedies for acne.

4. A home remedy that acts as a cleanser and astringent is mashed strawberries mixed with white vinegar. Apply this mix to your face, leave it overnight and then wash off with cold water the following morning for some fabulous results.

5. Crush uncooked oats into a powder and mix with water to form a paste. Apply this paste to the acne-affected areas and leave until they get dried up. Then wash with lukewarm water for effective results.

6. To reduce acne scars mix a teaspoon of ground nutmeg and a teaspoon of honey and apply to the areas affected by acne scars. Wash off the mixture after 20 minutes with cool water. Try this weekly twice on a regular basis and see some fantastic results.

7. Apply lemon juice over blackheads and leave it overnight. Wash with cold water the following morning and this is an effective remedy for removal of blackheads.

8. Watch what you eat. Chocolates, greasy food and nuts are a strict no. Brown rice consumed regularly, fresh fruits, and lots of water on a daily basis is of benefit.

Tomato-cucumber salad dressed with extra virgin oil and fresh fish (not frozen) is an excellent diet for those affected severely by acne.

Follow these simple steps and enjoy an acne-free life!
