Though getting a store bought skin care product, may seem like a fast solution, as I mentioned before, they don’t work for every person. Luckily there are other options. And these are both natural and best of all they’re cheap or even free!
Cucumber Juice:
Cucumber juice not only relaxes skins inflamed from acne, but it also does a pretty good job at cleaning skin.
Lavender Oil:
This technique has been around for ages! Simply dab the damaged skin with lavender oil with a cotton swab.
Do this 2 times daily and you should notice a difference in just a few applications.
Oatmeal and Sour Cream Face Mask:
This works in the same way that mud masks work. To make the mask, mix 1 teaspoon of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon yogurt, 1 teaspoon of sour cream. Apply this mix to your face for 10 minutes a day and expect fast results and great feeling skin. You can also try this with just oatmeal, but the yogurt and sour cream help to make it more appropriate to be applied as a mask.
Lemon Juice:
Using a cotton ball apply a mixture of lemon juice and rosewater. Leave this remedy on you face for about 30 minutes. Continue this method rigorously for 2 to 3 weeks.
Bedouin Method:
This method requires that eat a grated radish with each and every meal. Drink 2 cups of rosemary tea daily, and 3 glasses of water mixed with squeezed lemon and honey. This isn’t the most pleasant treatment, but its been found to be quite effective.
Tea:
Mix 2-3 tea bags with basil in hot water. Boil for about 30 minutes and apply to effected areas with a cotton ball. Lifestyle Changes That Will Prevent Acne In some cases natural or medical treatments aren’t even needed. Sometimes all its takes is that you take care of yourself and your skin in particular. The following methods are easy to implement and can work wonders when it comes to preventing acne and reducing the frequency and harshness of breakouts.
Exercise:
Its so simple its stupid. Exercising daily will help you get rid of toxins and will relieve stress, a known cause of acne. A morning jog, a few curls, daily push ups, or any small work out will work wonders for your acne. But remember not to over do it. Working out too much can actually have the very opposite effect of a proper workout, it will raise toxin and stress levels.
Change Your Diet:
What and how we eat plays a big role in how our body handles acne. First you should stop snacking. Eating throughout the day uses up your body’s resources that could be used to fight your acne. Having a more vegetarian diet will work wonders for your skin too. Veggies carry little to no toxins. And will allow your body to dispose of more toxins than it normally would be able to.
Try to add Zinc and vitamin A to your diet. Zinc will help repair blemishes and will prevent other breakouts. Vitamin A will help your body to produce natural oils. Don’t over do it with the Vitamin A though, because you obviously don’t want too much oil.
