First, you have to understand that acne is a skin disorder. It is not contagious like a fungal infection so do not panic when a friend or family member has it; you will not get it from them.
This skin condition causes inflammation and eruptions and is a common occurrence in adolescents. In fact, the age of puberty is often called the "Pimple Phase" because almost 90% of the young generation experiences it.
However, teenagers are not the only ones who experience acne breakouts; adults do too! And if you are already an adult who is suffering from the condition, it could be a lot more problematic. Fortunately, there are acne home cures that can be used to alleviate the problem. Below is their list.
1. Tomato- Perhaps you already know that tomato is great for the skin, but aside from eating it, you probably didn't know how truly useful it could be. Before taking a bath, apply a mixture of tomato pulp, rose water, and honey on your face. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse. It will help remove dead skin cells and promote new skin rejuvenation. It will also make your skin look rosy and fresh.
2. Lemon- Aside from drinking lemon juice to supply your body's requirement of vitamin C, you can also use this fruit to beautify your skin. Before going to bed at night, you can mix lemon extract with glycerine and use it as moisturizer. You may opt to wash it afterwards.
3. Yogurt- Yogurt is not only great for the tummy but for the skin too. You can eat it or use it as a facial cream. Plain yogurt can be applied directly on the face and then eventually rinsed after ten minutes. If you want it to serve as an exfoliant, you can include a spoonful of oats in it. Then, gently rub it on your face and neck on a circular motion. Leave it for ten minutes and then rinse. This will immediately leave you feeling light and clean.
These are three of the most effective acne home remedies that you can try. They are simple and easy and you surely won't have any trouble doing them. They are also available in your home so you won't have to go out and purchase them.
One thing you ought to remember when trying these acne home cures though is that you need to practice extra caution when touching your face. Do not touch it frequently. Just do when you have to clean it up, and do so gently.
