Pimples affect both men and women, though it tends to be an issue teenage boys more than girls. There are a number of issues associated with this skin condition, some of which are poor hygiene, changes in hormone levels, excessive secretion of sebum, and the kind of food eaten by the individual. An acne remedy can be made up of many different and even unusual things. Some of the home remedies for acne can be uncomfortable to apply, particularly for those with sensitive skin, while others are grounded in common sense.
Herbal Acne Remedies
Herbs are one of the first things that many look to for easy home solutions to their health problems. The reason why herbs are usually thought of as a natural acne cure, is because herbs have been used in many cultures to cure and treat a lot of different health issues in people. Some of the more common herbs for a home acne remedy are melaleuca (tea tree) oil and nettle tea. Tea tree oil is sometimes directly applied on the face as an acne natural cure. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties that are helpful in getting rid of the bacteria that are involved in the acne breakouts.
Nettle tea on the other hand is drunk as a home remedy for acne. Many herbalists advise drinking at least four cups of nettle tea per day, not only as a home acne treatment, but also to help other skin conditions that could be plaguing you. Other herbs, as illustrated by the many acne articles around, that may work as home remedies include calendua flowers’ extract, burdock leaf tea, rose water, the application of wet basil leaves and many others.
Other Types Of Acne Remedies
Other acne home remedies that are floating around – but may or may not have merit – are toothpaste applied to pimples before going to bed, washing your face with vinegar, applying a solution of water and lemon juice, and many others. Keep in mind that some acne remedies may not be as effective as others say they are.
