Inexpensive, At Home Acne Treatments

There are different ways to heal your acne from home. As long as your acne is only light to moderate, you can use home acne remedies. Everything that you need can be bought from a grocery store.

The hot sun is a natural and positive acne solution. Ultraviolet rays from the sun kill the bacteria harboring on your skin, kills the actual acne and dries up the skin's excess oil.

An unusual acne remedy is a bean tea. To make bean tea, you need to boil a package of green beans in a quart of water for ten minutes or more and add three tablespoons of chamomile (dry) to it. Cover it and steep it until it cools. Once it cools you should strain and bottle the tea. Use it to wash your face about three times weekly.

Aloe Vera juice or gel is an acne remedy that neutralizes issues and starts acne healing. It can be drying, so you will need to use a lotion or moisturizer afterwards even though many think they should not. Another juice to use is lemon juice. It is actually a very effective home acne solution. The acid inside the lemon cleanses pores and promotes healthy skin regeneration. Lemon Juice helps with oil removal, killing bacteria, and normalizing the skin's pH balance.

Cucumber also works. To use cucumber, a good process is to blend a peeled cucumber and apply its juice to your skin. Subsequently, clean your skin thoroughly and apply egg whites on your face or any other acne area with a cotton ball or cotton swab. Leave it on for a while; it is good for your skin because it is like an astringent.

Natural oatmeal is also helpful for home solutions to treat acne. It is in fact wonderful for all skin irritations. Simply apply lukewarm or slightly cool cooked oatmeal to your face for 12 minutes and then wash it off completely. Natural oatmeal is an acne solution and also an astringent because it removes oil and impurities off of the skin, keeping skin clean and acne-free.

Wash your face then and make an acne solution at home with just sugar, a tiny bit of water and several drops of olive oil. Pat the scrub on the blemished areas. Oddly, sugar has an antibacterial result that clears your skin of acne and blemishes.

A home acne solution is a great idea. It is cheap, easy and effective. Try one today!
