Home Remedies For Curing Acne

Here are some tried and tested home remedies for curing acne, but it all starts with good common sense daily skin care.
A good daily skin care routine is important.‭ ‬Following one tremendously helps to have and maintain an acne free skin.‭ ‬Basic skin care is composed of‭ ‬4‭ ‬steps namely:

• Cleansing‬
• Exfoliating
• ‬Moisturizing
• Applying sunscreen

‬It is important though to determine beforehand your skin type‭ – ‬dry,‭ ‬oily,‭ ‬normal/combination,‭ ‬sensitive or even sun-damaged.‭ ‬From hereon,‭ ‬you will be able to develop a skin routine which will be suitable for you.

The first step for acne free skin care routine is cleansing.‭ ‬Cleansing keeps the skin free from dirt,‭ ‬excess oil,‭ ‬sweat and makeup.‭ ‬Although it can be tough,‭ ‬the secret is to find a skin cleaner that will work well for you.‭ ‬Once you have found it,‭ ‬stick with it.‭

‬It is advisable to opt for liquid cleaners as bar soaps may only dry your skin.‭

‬A creamy cleanser would work best for dry skin while clear ones will be good for oily skin.‭ ‬For acne prone skin,‭ ‬you may want to choose a cleanser with salicylic acid.‭ ‬Also,‭ ‬be careful not to clean your face too often.‭ ‬Washing at night before going to bed should be sufficient.‭

Home Remedies For Curing Acne - Facial cleansers                                     If you want to try a good natural facial cleanser,‭ ‬mix in a bowl‭ ‬1‭ ‬tablespoon of Olive Oil and‭ ‬2‭ ‬tablespoons of dark Brown Sugar.‭ ‬Apply it to your face in a circular motion for a minute.‭ ‬After,‭ ‬rinse with warm cloth and water.‭ ‬You might be hesitant to try it because of its grease but after removing it,‭ ‬you will notice how soft and silky your skin will feel.‭ ‬

For dry skin,‭ ‬try an Almond / Milk Cleanser.‭ ‬You will need‭

• 1 teaspoon of Almond Oil
• ‬2‭ ‬tablespoons of Whole Milk‭ ‬and‭
• ‬1‭ ‬teaspoon of Honey

Apply the mixture to face in circular motion for‭ ‬1-2‭ ‬minutes and rinse with a warm cloth and water.‭

Home Remedies For Curing Acne - Exfoliating scrubs                             
The next step is exfoliating.‭ ‬Many make the mistake of thinking exfoliation is not an important part of skin care.‭ ‬Exfoliation scrubs away dead skin cells which cause pore clogging,‭ ‬dry skin and acne.‭ ‬It also helps smooth and soften the skin.‭ ‬There are several ways to exfoliate the skin‭ – ‬the most popular being microdermabrasion or scrubs.‭ ‬Make sure to choose a gentle scrub with tiny beads as big beads will only damage the skin.‭ ‬Exfoliation can be done once a week.‭

Here's how to make a natural homemade exfoliating scrub.  ‬Use your hand or a grinder to crush‭:

• ‬2-3‭ ‬tablespoons of Raw Oats‭ (‬not the pre-cooked type of oats‭)‬.‭
• ‬Blend it with Pure Honey and
• ¼ ‬teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar until the mixture becomes smooth.‭ ‬If needed,‭ ‬add more honey.‭ ‬Finish off by adding a drop of Basil Oil.‭

 ‬For acne prone skin,‭ ‬you can substitute Basil Oil with Tea Tree Oil.‭ ‬Make sure to apply the mixture to your face after washing it.‭ ‬Avoid the eye area.‭ ‬Leave it for‭ ‬15‭ ‬minutes before rinsing thoroughly with tepid water.‭ ‬Although the preparation is messy,‭ ‬it brings excellent results to skin.‭

Regarding toning,‭ ‬some swear by it and some do not.‭ ‬The purpose of toners are to remove excess traces of oil,‭ ‬dirt or makeup on the skin.‭ ‬However,‭ ‬if you have a good cleansing regimen then toning the skin would be unnecessary.‭ ‬It is more of a personal preference.‭ ‬Toning is not necessary but if you feel that using it contributes to having acne clear skin then stick with it.‭ ‬A homemade facial toner can be as simple as mixing honey and olive oil.‭ ‬Apply it to the face and rinse well.‭

No matter what skin type you have,‭ ‬it is important to moisturize your skin.‭ ‬This step should not be skipped.‭ ‬It is also not true that oily skin does not need to be moisturized.‭ ‬Oily skin can benefit from oil free moisturizers.‭ ‬If your skin tends to feel more tight and dry then it needs to be moisturized more often.‭ ‬Be careful however as over-moisturizing the skin may lead to pores getting clogged.‭

 Home Remedies For Curing Acne - Facial Moisturizers 

Prepare a homemade facial moisturizer by mixing‭:

• ‬3‭ ‬tablespoons of Wheat Germ Oil,‭ ‬
• 3‭ ‬tablespoons of Honey,‭
• ‬1‭ ‬ounce of Witch Hazel,‭
• ‬1‭ ‬ounce of Glycerin
• Half an ounce of Rose Water.‭

‬Blend all these ingredients together until it becomes a cream.‭ ‬Store it in a jar for future use.‭ ‬

Yogurt-Honey moisturizer is also an easy to make homemade facial moisturizer.‭ ‬Take the juice of half a lemon and mix it with‭ ‬1‭ ½ ‬teaspoon of honey and‭ ‬3‭ ‬tablespoon of whipped egg white‭ (‬1‭ ‬egg‭)‬.‭ ‬Beat all the ingredients well.‭ ‬Apply it to the face and leave for‭ ‬15‭ ‬minutes before washing with lukewarm water.‭

Many dermatologists have said that applying sunscreen is the most important part of one’s skin care routine.‭ ‬Sun damage is the number one cause of wrinkles which is why it is important to use sunscreen in your early years.‭ ‬Sunscreen should also be applied even on cloudy days and winters and not just when the sun is out.‭ ‬Choose a moisturizer with UV protection to be able to get two benefits in one.‭ ‬It is recommended to buy two different moisturizers‭ – ‬one to use the morning and the other at night.‭ ‬Do not use a moisturizer with built in sunscreen at night as the ingredients of this are not meant to be used on the skin for a long period of time.‭

Having an acne free skin depends on a consistent daily skin care routine.‭ ‬As this only takes a few minutes of your time everyday,‭ ‬make sure to follow it and stick to it in order to have and maintain a clear,‭ ‬acne free skin.‭
