NATURAL PRODUCTS FOR ACNE CURE

NATURAL PRODUCTS FOR ACNE CURE



As far as treatment of acne is concerned, my personal opinion would be to look out for natural products to help treat acne. You can start with some very basic things available in the kitchen or rather may I say at your home. But the problem with these is that not everyone has the time and patience to try these. But you can still try and spare some time for yourself…its worth.

Things you can try
Ice pack – Ice pack helps in reducing the swelling and pain due to acne and pimples. It also helps to reduce the size of the pimple making your face look a bit clearer. This is an excellent method you can try when you have to go out and find a nasty bump on your face in the morning.

Washing your face with lots of cold water also works.

Honey- it is an excellent moisturizer for dry skin. Avoid if your face is oily. Also it is very useful in treating acne as it contains enzymes that can help slow or even stop the growth of bacteria on your face. It is rich in antioxidants, which can help remove free radicals. These antioxidants can boost tissue growth, and at the same time, help in scar-healing. It is definitely better to go for a honey facial mask or facial wash.

Camphor + tomato juice + honey – To half a teaspoon of camphor lotion add 10-20 drops tomato juice and pure honey (1 spoon). Mix properly to get a thick lotion. You can apply this to the affected area. All these ingredients work against bacterial infection and act as natural cleansing agents to help clear acne. Keep for atleast half an hour for good result.

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables – Sometimes acne occurs due to the lack of vitamin B5 in your body. In such a case you can get rid of acne by eating green vegetables, fruits, sprouted moong dal, whole grain cereals, cheese, dried beans, chicken etc. Avoid junk and extra oily food.

Together with these see that you keep yourself well hydrated by drinking lots of fluids.

TIPS TO PREVENT AND CURE ACNE

TIPS TO PREVENT AND CURE ACNE
Who does’nt wish to have a soft, smooth and blemish free skin. But do we all get what we wish for? Are you one of those who have to deal with a new pimple every day? Are the blemishes just not ready to leave your skin? Do you feel frustrated the moment you think about yourself…your skin? If the answer is yes then its time you read this article.


Always remember there is no single tip or a rapid formula that can relieve your acne problem.

Several marketed products claim of curing acne, but always use them carefully, only after reading the instructions properly. Some of these can lead to severe side effects. So be extra careful, after all you are dealing with your own skin.



• Firstly make sure you drink lots of water daily. It helps to flush out the toxins from the body and keeps your skin feeling fresh. You can start your day with a glass of warm water. This helps prevent constipation and keeps your skin glowing.

• Eat lot of fruits, vegetables in the form of salads and fresh juices. You can use honey instead of sugar. Avoid eating junk food as far as possible.

• Keep your face oil free. Wash your face after coming from outside. You don’t require using soap all the time. You can instead use besan mixed with a little water for this.

• Use face packs suitable for your skin type. If you have oily skin you can prefer fuller's earth (clay pack) mixed with sandal wood powder and rose water.

• If you have dandruff, see that you keep your hair and scalp clean because the pimples are because of that. Avoid scratching your head. Keep your nails small. Good hygiene is very important if you want to get rid of acne and pimples.

• Put minimal make up. Cleanse it before going to bed at night. Don’t fill your cupboards with hundreds of cosmetic and over the counter products. You probably don’t need that much. Go for the minimal approach. The lesser the better.


Start with these and you will start seeing the difference for yourself.
