Home remedies for acne treatment



Acne is usually treated with antibiotics to get rid of resulting scars and cysts as soon as possible. In case of severe acne dermatologist prescribe oral acne drugs especially isotretinoin which unblocks pores and prevents pimples.
Home remedies are actually the best type of treatments due to many obvious reason. Firstly, it is affordable. It allows you to consistently stick to a skin care regime. Thirdly, it works!
One of my favourite treatment for acne scars is a simple face mask consisting of green bean flour. Just mix it with water and apply it as a paste over your face twice a week. The scars will lighten and the results are almost immediate. This is a treatment used by asian ladies for many centuries.
Another favourite treatment of mine is Neem facial mask. You eat make the neem leaves as a paste and apply it over your face as a mask. Done just once a week will effectively remove acne. Neem has very strong antibacterial qualities.Neem posses' outstanding anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral capabilities.
The simplest treatment has to be the toothpaste.It is a secret treatment not known to many but is effective. Just apply at night toothpaste on the affected areas and wash off in the morning. There will be a significant improvement in the scarring.
Again, it is amazing how the food items we throw away are actually treasures in skin care treatment. We just need to open our eyes and look at things around us. The peel of oranges can be made into a paste and applied to our face as a mask to reduce acne scars as well. Who would have thought right?
I also use a mixture of lemon water with rose water or just plain lemon juice to reduce scars.let the mixture stay on face for half an hour and wash off. It will eventually reduce scars as well.
The food we eat can also help to reduce acne scars. One such consumption is green tea. Just add hot water and consume twice a day. The clearing of acne scars is significant. Green Tea is a natural antioxidant and by flushing out toxins from the body it purifies our system and this is visible in our face. Also fruits and vegetables greatly help to give a clearer skin.
There are many other ways to reduce scars.Somehow, home remedies make it easier to sustain as a long term treatment due to its accessability and its effectiveness. For those who havent tried it before, why wait?Today is a good as any other day.
