The mistake I made was that I thought just using a home remedy would clear my acne so I abandoned everything else I could do.
There's some home remedies below but I'd recommend adding them to your skin care regime rather than just using the home remedy.What home remedies ACTUALY WORK to treat acne?
Taking zinc supplements for acne should be done hand in hand with some things to consider. Therefore, it is best to know the content of zinc supplement in order to help you with your acne problems.
Zinc is a mineral known to alleviate acne. It is an antioxidant that protects skin from free radicals. It also stabilizes the formation of sebum and speeds up the healing process of wounds. It hastens the absorption of vitamin A, which is also an effective vitamin to clear up acne.
Apple Cider Vinegar treatments seem to help some people; they use it like a toner.
Not sure if you would count this as a home remedy, but benzoyl peroxide (you can buy it in a tube at 2.5 %, and 5 %) is the best over the counter product to treat acne. It would work better than apple cider vinegar, I think.
Cleanse daily, avoid washing away natural oils with soaps or washes, this causes skin to produce more oil than normal which clogs pores. I HIGHLY recommend Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), it doesn't strip away natural oils so is healthy, reduces acne and heals scars. Mix half Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) to moisturize and half Castor Oil (CO) to cleanse, change mix as your skin changes, also try adding tea tree oil as it's antibacterial. Massage mix into your face, then put a hot face cloth onto your face for at least 1 minute, this opens up pores letting the oil cleanse. Wipe off oil, any trace amounts of oil are absorbed so skin won't be greasy. http://www.moogoo.com.au/category13_1.ht鈥?/a> Have your own face cloth and towel, keep them clean and dry to avoid bacteria growth which can cause spots. Moisturize daily, as long as it's not greasy it won't cause spots, but don't be scared to use oils such as Bio Oil which will heal scars too, remember oil is actually good for your skin.
I %26lt;3 OCM! I used to have bad hormonal break-outs on my chin, flaking skin all over my face and oily skin particularly around my nose, after the first use my skin was no longer flakey, a week later after coming home from a shopping trip where normally my nose would be like an oil slick I noticed it was super-soft without being oily what-so-ever and my spots calmed down loads within a short space of time and scars healed much faster. I know a heap of people who use it too, some with really serious acne problems who tried everything on the market but OCM worked great for them.
Once a week steam to open pores by putting your head under a towel over a bowl of hot water, but don't do this during breakouts as it stimulates blood flow and oil glands which can make things worse. Exfoliate weekly to scrub off dead skin, use something with rounded beads as things such as apricot kernels have sharp edges which cause small cuts leading to spots. Another way to exfoliate is cosmetic vinegar which also promotes circulation, regulates skins pH and is antiseptic. Mix 500ml of apple cider vinegar, 3ml lavender essential oil, 3ml rosemary essential oil, 2ml rosewood essential oil, and 2 tablespoons glycerine. Place into a glass bottle, use as cleanser by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup of water. Try masks too, they are easy to make and there are many recipes online, see Make Your Own Cosmetics http://www.makeyourcosmetics.com or Pioneer Thinking http://www.pioneerthinking.com try this mask;
Strawberry acne mask;
Ingredients: 陆 cup fresh strawberries, 1 egg white, 2 teaspoons of honey.
Mix together ingredients until smooth using a blender or a fork. To use spread over face and leave for 15 minutes, rinse off with cool water and pat dry. This one is good as strawberries are rich in salicylic acid which is commonly used in acne treatments, honey is also antibacterial.
Keep yourself healthy, diet is a big factor so make sure to get a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables as well as a lot of water, but avoid salty foods as iodine aggravates acne, try also a good multivitamin - vitamins A, B6, zinc and chromium help to clean up acne. Get plenty of exercise, sleep and stay stress-free. Pay particular attention to your skin during harsh weather when it is more prone to damage, also avoid agrivation from the sun by using plenty of sunscreen. Make-up is best avoided all together, but if you do wear it use as little as possible and keep your make-up clean as dirty sponges or hands in make-up causes spots. Use mineral foundation as it has great coverage but is light so won't clog pores and is free from harmful ingredients, most commercial brands make mineral ranges now so it's easy to find.
Based my own experience compressing acne with ice cube is really work.
