Acne is suffered by many people, but fortunately there are some homemade acne remedies that can help you get rid of it. The purpose of this article is to show you how to make each of the best homemade acne remedies. These include: tea tree oil, oatmeal, honey & apple, egg white & lemon, apple vineger, and also the pineapple & honey treatment.
Oatmeal Mask
This is a great acne remedy that you can make easily. All you need to do is to mix some oatmeal with some water and cook as normal. Then you let it cool down to about room temperature, apply it to your face, and leave for 10 to 15 minutes before washing off with warm water. Apply the mask twice a day.
Tea Tree Oil Acne Treatment
Another acne remedy that you can use at home is tea tree oil, which has very powerful antibacterial properties. But be careful: do not apply the oil neat to your face. Doing that can harm your skin. This is extremely powerful stuff.
The best way to apply tea tree oil to your skin is to buy it in a gel formulation. For example, you can buy Aloe Vera Gel with tea tree oil added to it. You should be able to find this in most good health food stores. Apply to the affected area liberally. Tea tree oil has a rather strong smell, so it’s best to apply it just before going to bed.
Honey & Apple Acne Mask
Another fantastic homemade acne treatment is a honey and apple mask. Just grate an apple and then mix with some honey. Apply it to your face and leave for about 15 to 20 minutes, before washing off with warm water. Apply two or three times per week.
Vinegar
Vinegar can be a great homemade acne remedy, and it is good for getting rid of blotchiness and redness. All you need to do is add one tablespoon of apple vinegar to a glass of water and stir. Get some cotton balls, and dip them into the apple vinegar solution and dab onto your acne. This is best to do just before bed, and rinse off in the morning.
Egg White & Lemon Acne Treatment
Egg white and lemon is another great way to make a homemade acne treatment. Crack open two eggs, and separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk until foamy, then add 2 teaspoons lemon juice (although you can add more lemon juice if you have extremely oily skin).
Using a cotton ball, dab the solution onto the affected areas of your skin. Leave it until it completely dries, and then rinse off with cool water. If you normally use make-up, don’t put any make-up on for a few hours. Apply a specially created moisturizer if your skin feels dry.
Pineapple & Honey Acne Mask
This homemade acne remedy is similar to the honey and apple one mentioned earlier. Mash a cup of pineapple, and then drain off the juice. Add a tablespoon of honey and mix together. Apply to your acne and then leave it for approximately 20 or 3 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
