Recently I had a terrible acne outbreak. Looking in the mirror made
me scream. I didn't want to try all advertised acne creams and went to a
dermatologist straight away. I asked her to prescribe me a strong acne
medicine with a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide, something that
would surely work.
To my surprise, the doctor said, no, no strong
medication yet, let's try something else. She gave me several recopies
for acne home remedies. I was disappointed, but since the doctor said it
should work I tried her homemade remedies. At first I didn't want to
believe it, but my skin looked better and better every day. After about
two weeks there was no trace of acne. Here are the remedies that helped
me, hope that they will work for you as well.
1. Mix of rosewater and lemon
Lemon
is an excellent cleanser for acne affected skin. You can mix fresh
lemon juice with rose water and apply to affected skin. Wash off after
half an hour with clean water. This acne remedy usually shows great
results in a few days and in a couple weeks acne should completely
disappear from your face.
2. Toothpaste
Ordinary
toothpaste can dramatically help with acne. If your face feels swollen,
put a little bit of toothpaste on your pimples before going to bed. Your
skin will feel much better in the morning.
3. Mint
Mint
has been used to stop acne for centuries. It probably grows in your
garden or you can buy it in a fruit and vegetable shop. Squeeze juice
from mint leaves and apply to your face before going to bed.
4. Vinegar
Simple
home vinegar is an effective acne cleanser. Mix it with a little salt
and gently rub into your face. Wash off in about 30 minutes.
5. Cucumber
Most
women know that cucumber is great for your skin. It can also be used to
fight and prevent acne. Make a cucumber paste, put it on your face and
let is stay there for several minutes. Unlike lemon and vinegar cucumber
doesn't dry your face, quite the opposite, it moisturize your skin and
supplies it with vitamins. Use cucumber mask twice a week and you will
see definite improvements to your skin condition.
Acne diet is important for any acne treatment
Well,
there is no such thing as a special "acne diet"; however, what you eat
is greatly important for the condition of your skin. Previously, to cure
acne doctors suggested cutting down only oily and sugary foods. Modern
research shows that eating pizza and drinking soda, doesn't cause acne.
What is really essential for acne diet is to consume enough vitamins and
minerals. Vitamins that are known to help with acne are Vitamin A,
Vitamin E and most B group vitamins. So balanced diet is required to
stop acne outbreaks.
Drinking your 8 glasses of water is also
important in a fight against acne. Enough water helps your body to clean
itself of toxins. Which means less harmful substances on your skin.
I
personally found rose-lemon mix the most effective. It helped to clear
my face and the smell of it is just heaven. Some people recommended
garlic as an acne cure, but would you like to smell of garlic when you
go out?
