Home Remedies for Severe Acne
Severe acne may be more resistant to home treatments, but with patience, persistence
and a little trial and error, home remedies can be incredibly effective. Sometimes,
the problem can be as simple as the soap being used. Changing from a standard soap
to glycerin soap can make a big difference. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer as
well as a gentle cleanser. Also, when choosing shower gels or soaps specifically
for acne, have a look for products designed specifically for sensitive skin. The
same goes for make-
Simple solutions to the problem could involve something as simple as refraining from touching the acne. As humans we use our hands for everything and despite washing frequently, can spread minute bacteria to the skin or from acne which can spread the problem. Another possible remedy is to wash your face twice a day using a gentle cleanser or face scrub and then applying an antibacterial home remedy via cotton swab to the acne like diluted tea tree oil, diluted apple cider vinegar, or aloe vera.
There are also a multitude of masks that can be used for people who are looking for ways to get rid of severe acne. A few of these have been mentioned on our homepage; however here are a couple of original suggestions:
• Crushed aspirin, a few drops of water, warm honey and oil (almond, olive or coconut)
-
• Mixed banana and honey, and a few drops of orange or lemon juice make for an excellent 15 minute face mask for severe acne.
