Of course there is a multitude of ways to deal with this problem. You may use over-the-counter treatment creams or consult a doctor and get prescription medication. Whatever the case, you do have options and acne can be treated. It is not a condition that is untreatable.
Bearing that in mind, many people prefer to treat the problem holistically rather than rushing to grab the acne cream. After all, the idea of using a natural remedy to treat a naturally occurring problem does seem more appealing than slathering your face with creams containing chemicals.
The 4 remedies given below will help treat you acne but as expected, the efficacy of these methods will depend on the severity of your acne. If your acne is very bad and people are getting scared just by looking at you, your first course of action will be to see a doctor for some potent medication to get a quick grasp on the problem.
Mild and moderate acne sufferers may give these methods a try and see if they work. You’ll need to experiment with a few to see what works for you. No method is perfect for everyone. So, there is some trial and error involved.
Do give each method some time to see if it works for you. These are not overnight miracle potions.
- Mix pure apple cider vinegar with water in the ratio 1:3. One part of apple cider vinegar should be diluted with 3 parts of water.
This is a highly effective remedy because not only does it balance the pH of your skin due to its alkaline properties but it’s also anti-bacterial. It will kill off the bacteria on your skin that is infecting your clogged pores. - Aloe vera gel is another powerful home remedy that has been used for ages to treat a multitude of problems. It kills bacteria, reduces swelling and inflammation, reduces redness and is soothing to the skin. Apply the aloe vera gel to your affected areas daily to see results.
- Baking soda is another miracle product. It is usually used to clean greasy stoves, old coins, tough stains, etc. Guess what? It works for acne too. Don’t panic. It is perfectly safe.
The same way it removes grease of a stove, it will also clear the excess sebum from your face by drying up the excess oil. Not only that, but it’s anti-fungal and kills off bacteria too.
You’ll need to mix baking soda and water in equal parts and aim to get a thick paste. Apply the paste on the acne prone areas and leave for 20 minutes before washing away. - Lemon juice is the fourth remedy. It is rich in vitamin C and is an astringent. What that means is that it will dry out the tissues by making them contract. This will start the healing process and the acne will go away on its own. Apply the lemon juice with a Q-tip and rinse away after 15 to 20 minutes.
The above 4 remedies have helped thousands of people deal with acne effectively. Do give them a try and see if they work for you.
