Getting Rid of Acne at Home

Terrible is the feeling that you get when you wake up every morning to the zits that prop out of nowhere on your face. More terrible are the adamant marks that refuse to budge even when the acne has receded. While some of the annoyed souls would visit a beauty parlour to get rid of the monsters, some would just resort to home techniques to bid them adieu.

Acnes are easy to get hold of, and equally easy to get rid of, too. All that you need to do to get for acne treatment is try out few home baked remedies. Voila, Voila!

Baking Soda

Baking soda or Sodium Bicarbonate is cushion like gentle to your skin. In the garb of an antiseptic and an anti inflammatory agent, it protects the skin from infection. It is a catalyst that spurs exfoliation and regulates the Ph balance of the skin. A concoction of a teaspoon of baking powder, cinnamon powder, honey and lemon, it comes in as tremendous relief.


Toothpaste

While applying toothpaste on acne and pimples might sound too gross to be tried, the fact is that applying toothpaste on the affected areas curbs the inflammation. Apply a small amount of it before going to bed and wake up to a refreshing self.

Lemon Juice

Mix a teaspoon of lemon juice with rose water and wash the affected area with the melange. Lemon’s acidic properties can be a panacea to the ever placating pimple problem.

Oatmeal

Again sounds like a frivolous piece of advice, doesn't it? Well, it turns out that all unexpected things show unexpectedly positive results. Take a teaspoon of honey and juice of half a lemon and scrap them together in a plate of cooked oatmeal. Spread it over your face for magical results.

In addition to these acne treatments, you can try turmeric powder compounded with neam leaves, too. Applying the mixture on the face for half an hour can perpetuate wonders.

Resist the Temptation to Pop Zits with These Tips

That ugly zit that is in the habit of popping u just before any important date or big occasion can be extremely annoying. It can sit there for days annoying you further. Thus, pooping it and getting rid of the offending spot once and for all seems to be the most rational solution isn’t it? Well, not quite so. Before you smear it off with your nail, just take a step back and think of the ugly scar it would leave, which would take much longer to heal off.

Perhaps we can’t give you a magical concoction so that you can wish away the pimple in a snap of fingers, but there certainly are some acne treatments that can make your days better.


  • Put a few drops of tea tree oil on a cotton wool and dab on the clean dry skin where the zit has occurred. You can even leave this overnight or for few hours. It is an Ayurvedic treatment and has proven anti-bacterial properties that heel zits.
  • Put some toothpaste on it as it will reduce inflammation and redness.
  • You can also apply some white vinegar to get rid of redness and reduce its size considerably.
  • Put some ice on it for few minutes before you hide it with a concealer to get better effects.
  • Apply juice of potato on the outbreak as an acne treatment to treat it topically.
  • If the acne is still forming and yet to occur, do a scrub and wash your face with deep cleansing face wash.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide is another option that can steer away the stubborn spot but it might sting a lot, but it can work fine even for cystic acnes as well.
  • Rubbing a slice of lemon can also help.

Thus, I hope these are enough to keep you from popping it and giving yourself a nasty scar.

Moreover, follow these simple yet effective expert tips to attain a glowing complexion.

No matter how meticulous you are with your skin care regime of using the right face wash, cleanser, toner and moisturizer, it is easy to commit small errors that can lead to a damaged complexion. Moreover, with time, these little errors add up causing further damage to the skin leading to premature aging.

It is imperative that you protect your face with a layer of sunscreen each morning before you step out in the open, but do you reapply it? It is necessary to understand that sunscreen also sweats, rubs and melts off despite the label ensuring it is sweat proof and will last all day. The solution is not to worry too much as it is not expected of you to wash your face mid-day and reapply a sunscreen lotion.

An easy fix is to get hold of a face powder with SPF 30 or more that you can use. While it is apt to reapply a proper sunscreen lotion on your exposed skin parts, powder formulas can give you that extra protection. According to experts, your skin can get sun damaged just from driving, walking across a street or sitting by the window.
