HOME TREATMNET FOR ACNE AND PIMPLES

Most of the teenagers and also a good number of adults suffer from acne and the condition is not just confined to any age group, race or sex. It affects hundreds of millions of people all across the world. It is not very unusual to develop acne in mid-to-late 20’s, even if they never ever had any breakouts before. Acne, or pimples are one of the worst skin conditions that can have a psychological and social impact on you. While acne is not a life threatening disorder, it can cause permanent scars. Sometimes looking in the mirror can make you scream. Most of us try all the advertised creams to get rid of it. In my opinion instead of spending so much on creams and medications the best way to treat and pamper your skin would be using home remedies that would not only be cheaper on your pocket, but also you will find your skin looking better and better everyday.

Acne is a term used to describe whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. It is a skin problem that is caused by the sebaceous glands which excrete an oily fluid that builds up in the pore of the skin, which is caused by bacteria, plugged skin, natural hormones, junk food, dirt stress, cosmetics and also junk food.

The home remedies that can help your skin free from acne and pimples are given below and I’m sure they will work out for you. Mixing lemon juice with rose water and applying to the affected skin and washing it off with clean water after half an hour usually shows great results in a few days and in a couple of weeks acne should completely disappear. To prevent pimples and blackheads, apply a paste of fresh methi {fenugreek} leaves over the face every night for 10-15 mts and wash with warm water. Applying ripe tomato pulp for one hour and also rubbing a little bit of toothpaste on your pimples before going to bed helps. Simple home vinegar is an effective acne cleanser. Mix it with a little salt and gently rub your face, and wash off after 30 mts. Make a cucumber paste, apply it on your face and let it stay there for several minutes. It will moisturize your skin and you will see a definite improvement on your skin.
