Unexpected acne is everyone’s worst nightmare, especially just before some kind of special event or occasion. Some have it in fair amounts, and some have it worse. And unluckier ones have the marks left behind. Hence, we are constantly in search of the best remedies out there, rendering optimum and best possible results.
Acne can be caused by many factors such as excess oil production, hormonal changes, change of diet, sudden introduction to stress, and even hereditary and genetic reasons. It is not always the accumulation of dirt and pollutants, but also due to internal factors as well. So, it is crucial to always consult any doctor before going ahead with the remedies because you never know what might cause further troubles.
Below we have listed several easy home remedies which can be prepared quickly without much hassle. So let's get started and not let our unwanted guests ruin the day anymore.
- Tea Tree Cubes To The Rescue
As we all know, dirt and bacteria suffocating your pores lead to acne outbursts. An antibacterial like Tea Tree oil can easily come as your savior. However, it can cause reactions if used directly. Hence, turn the oil into small ice cubes.
Take a few spoons of aloe vera gel and few drops of the tea tree oil (maybe 3 spoons of gel and 7-8 drops of oil). Mix properly and pour them into an ice tray and freeze. Aloe Vera offers a calming effect that perfectly complements the strong and antibacterial oil. Rub the cubes before going to sleep, so that they can work overnight.
- Sliced Up Potatoes
The starch present in potatoes helps reduce redness and swelling, and it is also full of Vitamin C. This prevents from forming any dark spots after the pimple has subsided.
Cut a thin slice of the potato and pat it on your affected areas for a few minutes. You will notice that the silver of the potato has managed to reduce the redness and calm down the inflammation at the same time.
- Green Tea For Your Face
The calming and soothing effects of green tea aren't just for your body and mind. The anti-inflammatory properties of green tea also help to heal stubborn acne.
Cool your soaked tea bag in the fridge, and when you are done, place it on top of the affected area for an hour. You can also make a bottle of green tea and spray it all over your face once the heat evaporates.
- Honey As Your Best Friend
We already know that you are not the only one suffering from the acne problem, but every alternate person out there suffers the same. Not only oily skins are the main reasons behind the outbreak of acne, but dry skin as well.
And for that, honey is your knight in shining armor. Honey is hugely regarded as a hydrating element for every kind of dry skin. It has got antibacterial properties that target your acne/pimples deeply and help you fight them off. Simply apply a dab of honey over your acne spot and let it sit for hours.
- Garlic As An Ingredient For Your Skin
Garlic is famous for its all-purpose cures. Mash two garlic cloves into a paste and mix it with some rose water to protect your skin from over-drying. This mixture may not smell the greatest, but it will help heal your skin.
So, now you know how simple it is to cure the never-ending pimples! Not only are they the cheapest options, but also the best and quickest ways to kick out your enemies.
