Natural remedies for ACNE

1. Use tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is a pleasant-smelling essential oil derived from a tree native to Australia. There is clinical evidence that tea tree oil is effective against several skin conditions, including acne. It works as a natural astringent and can stimulate the immune system, making it an asset for your fight against acne. Before using it on your face, test a drop of tea tree oil elsewhere, like your arm or leg. Wait several hours. If a rash develops, you may be allergic or sensitive to the oil, and should avoid putting it on your face. Tea tree oil is toxic when consumed. Do not ingest tea tree oil.

2 Use lemon juice on pimples. Lemon juice works as a natural disinfectant, which will kill bacteria that cause acne. It can also stimulate circulation to the skin, which will bring essential nutrients from your body to help fight acne.

Wash your face normally. Squeeze a large lemon into a bowl until you have about 2 teaspoons. Note that you may need to use a second lemon. Make sure to get the lemon juice by squeezing lemons instead of using store-bought juice- this usually contains preservatives that can irritate your face. Use a cotton ball to apply the lemon juice to each one of your pimples. If you do this treatment during the day, leave the juice on for at least 30 minutes, then rinse with cool water. If you are doing it at night, leave it on while you sleep, then wash it off with cool water in the morning. Make sure you've removed the juice before going into the sun, as this can have a bleaching affect on your skin.

3 Experiment with honey. Although there is conflicting evidence, some consider honey an effective treatment for acne because of its antibacterial properties.

Before applying honey to your acne, dab a small amount around your jawline. Wait about 30 minutes to see if you have an adverse reaction. If so, do not apply honey to your acne. You may use honey in two ways. Either dab your pimples, or apply the honey to your whole face like a mask. Wash off the honey with cool water after 30 minutes, though you may leave it on longer if you want. You could also add about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to your honey. This adds to its antibacterial properties and can promote circulation in your face.

4 Mix up an apple cider vinegar toner. Apple cider vinegar helps to balance your skin's pH, leading to less blemishes and a more even tone. It also kills bacteria and can soften your skin. It is very simple to mix up a toner from apple cider vinegar. Thoroughly clean a glass bottle to store your toner in. Use only hot water and soap. Cleaning with alcohol or bleach could leave chemical residue in the container, which can then get on your face. Pour 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of water into the container. Cover the bottle and shake to mix the ingredients well. Apply the toner to pimples using a cotton ball. Store the mixture in a cool, dry, dark place. You could try applying apple cider vinegar to your skin without diluting it, but this is not recommended. The apple cider vinegar is harsh and can cause irritation if not diluted. If this mixture causes any irritation, try diluting with more water.

5 Mix a turmeric treatment. This yellow-tinged spice, common in Middle-Eastern cooking, is available wherever spices are found. It is usually considered an effective home remedy for acne.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of powdered turmeric to 2 teaspoons of coconut oil. Stir the mixture well. Spread the mixture evenly on your face. Let the mixture sit 15 minutes. Then rinse with cool water. Remember that turmeric stains your skin yellow, especially if you leave it on overnight.

6 Make a sea salt mixture. Sea salt can help dry out your pimples and absorb excess oil. Mixed with honey, it can be an effective home remedy for acne.

Mix 1 teaspoon of sea salt with 3 teaspoons of hot water. Stir the mixture until the salt dissolves. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and stir well. Apply this mixture to your face when it has sufficiently cooled. If you only want it on your pimples, you can use a Q-tip to apply it as a spot treatment. Leave the mixture on for 10 minutes. Avoid keeping it on any longer or your skin will get too dry. Rinse off with cool water. Apply moisturizer. Sea salt may leave your skin dry, so applying a moisturizer is important to keep your skin healthy.

7 Use an egg white mask. Egg whites can help tighten the skin's surface and reduce the size of pores. They also fight discoloration associated with acne.

Wash your face, crack 3 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Add one tablespoon lemon juice if desired. This addition can help loosen blackheads and whiteheads. Whisk the egg whites until they become a foam. Apply this evenly to your face and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry with a towel. Now moisturize your skin.

8 Treating Acne with Proper Diet Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water is one of your skin's absolutely essential needs. Water flushes toxins out of your body and also improves circulation, both of which are helpful in the fight against acne. Drink water whenever you become thirsty. Eat enough good fats. While fatty foods are often considered bad for acne, there are good fats that help fight acne. Omega-3 fatty acids help keep the skin flexible, which drains sebum out of the pores. This will cut down on the oil that is associated with acne. For good fats, eat nuts, cold-water fish, and avocados.

Include proteins in your diet. The body uses the amino acids from protein to produce collagen. This nutrient helps keep the skin healthy and hydrated. Good sources of protein include seafood, poultry, dairy products, and eggs, as well as beans and soy.

Don't get discouraged if some of these methods don't work. Everyone's acne is different, and you probably just have to try a few methods before you find one that is right for you.

Before applying anything to your skin to a small test and wait for few hours. Is acne is severe consult your skin specialist.
