10 Home Made ACNE REMEDY

Anyone who’s suffered from acne 
knows how difficult this skin condition 
can be to live with. Not only are you 
self-conscious of your appearance but 
the little bumps that have taken up 
residence on your face and neck can be very painful as well. Luckily, there 
are several tried, tested and true at- 
home treatment methods that have 
proven to be effective for many 
sufferers. We’ve found the most reputable home 
remedies for acne. The effectiveness of 
each of the treatment options in this list 
will vary for each individual. If you’re 
worried about the outcome, talk to 
your doctor first. If you’ve experienced reactions from any of the products 
mentioned in this list, refrain from 
using them again. Here are 10 Effective At-Home 
Acne Treatments: 1. Honey, Cinnamon and Nutmeg 
Spot Treatment This creative combination has helped 
many acne sufferers find relief. Mix 
raw honey with cinnamon to form a 
paste, then add freshly grated nutmeg. 
Store the mixture in a closed container 
and dab on your problem areas as soon as they appear. Leave the 
mixture on for a few hours for best 
results. 
2. Lemon Juice and Salt The astringent properties in lemon 
juice will work wonders on releasing 
the oil from your blemish. For even 
better results, add 1/2 tsp of salt to the 
lemon juice which will help dry out 
your acne even faster. Rub the mixture on the zit and leave it on for about 10 
minutes. Do not go in the sun while 
mixture is on your face as lemons have 
bleaching power and can alter the 
color of your skin when exposed to the 
sun. 
3. Green Tea Ice Cubes Green tea has been known to soothe 
skin. Make a batch of ice cubes using 
green tea instead of water. Once the 
ice cubes are frozen, rub the ice onto 
the problem areas. You’ll feel relief 
immediately and the cooling powers of the ice will help reduce swelling as 
well. 
4. Baking Soda Baking soda is a popular home 
remedie for skin conditions (it’s 
especially popular for treating 
psoriasis) because of its ability to dry 
out the skin. For best results, mix 
baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply the paste to any area with 
acne and leave it on for a few minutes. 
This treatment method is most 
effective when used right before a 
bath or shower. The exfoliating power 
of the baking soda will dry up the acne and give your skin a more even tone. 
5. Egg White Facial Making an egg white mask and 
applying it to the area of your skin 
affected by acne will help clear up your 
skin in no time. Make sure to remove 
the yolk before making your mask. 
Whip the eggs whites a few times and brush the liquid onto spotty areas with 
a Q-tip. Do this before you go to sleep 
at night and leave the mixture on your 
face overnight. In the morning, wake 
up and wash it off. You’ll notice a 
significant difference in your skin. 
6. Oil Face Wash at Night Using warm olive oil as a face wash 
has become a go-to treatment option 
for acne sufferers for many years. 
Some acne sufferers may be hesitant 
to use oil as a face wash because their 
skin is oily already but using this on a regular basis will reduce the natural oil 
your skin produces. Washing your face 
with oil each night will remove all 
traces of makeup and will leave your 
skin feeling soft and smooth. 
7. Honey Face Wash in the 
Morning After washing your face with oil a 
night, it’s time to mix it up a bit in the 
morning. Many individuals dealing with 
acne have found relief by combining oil 
face wash at night with honey face 
wash in the morning. Simply massage about 1/2 tsp of raw honey over your 
face and rinse. The antibacterial 
properties in honey work to inhibit 
breakouts and remove excess oil in the 
skin. 
8. Cabbage Leaves Cabbage leaves are also often used by 
psoriasis sufferers to dry up problem 
areas and soothe skin. Crush up a 
bunch of cabbage leaves until they’re 
moist. Apply the juice of the leaves 
onto the acne infected areas of your skin an leave on for about 30 minutes. 
Rinse your face and you’ll feel better 
immediately. 
9. Apple Cider Vinegar Another popular treatment option for 
individuals with all types of skin 
conditions, apple cider vinegar has 
become one of the more popular at- 
home acne treatments. Once in the 
morning and once in the evening, spray your face with a mixture of 2/3 
alcohol free witch hazel and 1/3 raw 
apple cider vinegar. Apple cider 
vinegar has been known to calm and 
soothe the skin with its gentle 
exfoliating properties while also balancing the skin’s pH. 
10. Aloe Aloe is one of the most effective skin 
condition treatments available. The gel 
found inside the leaves of this plant 
have amazing skin healing powers. 
You can buy an aloe plant and break 
open the leaves when you feel a breakout coming on or you can 
purchase a 100 percent natural aloe 
cream or gel at any drug store. Either 
way, you’ll find relief with this 
treatment option.
