Acne Home Remedies To Help Cure Acne (Aloe Vera, Lemon Juice, etc)

Many people who are desperate to get rid of their acne opt to take the medical route. Quick ‘miracle’ pills or laser surgery certainly seem like an attractive offer for those who want an immediate cure, but what many people don’t see are the downside of commercialized acne cures.

Downsides of Laser Surgery and Antibiotics:

Laser surgery is very costly and is actually only recommended for extreme cases of acne. Some people may consider it to be just a beauty treatment procedure, but in reality it is surgery should be considered as such. In addition, the laser surgery will treat the visible aspect of your acne, but will not cure it. Antibiotics are even more dangerous, and although many do show effectiveness in getting rid of pimples, many more also have adverse side effects. The bacteria causing acne in your body may also build a resistance against the antibiotics, causing the patient to have to increase their dosage. Dizziness, nausea, skin discoloration, and many more are negative side effects of antibiotics.

There are plenty of tried and proven home acne remedies to try first. Some doctors will right away try to prescribe you a pill, but if you’re smart, you’ll go the natural route. Just try different methods and see what works with you. One of the first things you should watch is your diet. If you intake a large amount of oil or sugar that may very easily be a cause for your acne. Other things such as chili, caffeine, and alcohol are also known to stimulate acne. Try removing certain foods from your diet and see what works. Taking vitamins will also greatly help in preventing acne. Vitamin A, B, C, and Zinc help cure acne.

 All types of acne home remedies are easy to create and can be made with simple kitchen ingredients. As with the dieting, try different things and see what works. One great method is mixing one tablespoon of groundnut oil with one tablespoon of lime juice and applying it to your face.

Another great home acne remedy is using Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is known to have medicinal qualities; it acts as a natural antibiotic on your skin, clearing it of germs and bacteria. Tomatoes are also known to help cure acne. Mash ripe tomatoes to a pulp, and apply to your area of acne, and keep them there for an hour, then wash off. Eating tomatoes also provide nutrients to help heal your skin, a natural solution to a clear face.

Lemon juice is also well known for helping to cure acne. You should usually dilute it with another compound, however, as the straight acids from lemon would be too harsh on your skin. One mix is 1 tsp of lemon juice mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon; you should apply this mixture to affected areas
