Home Remedies for ACNE

Here are some treatment which you can try at home to treat your ACNE.

1. Baking soda

The popular cooking ingredient helps to open up pores and soothes the skin thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

Slathering some baking soda on your face can remove oil over-secretion, dry pimples and fight blackheads.

Make a homemade acne treatment by mixing two tablespoons of baking soda with two tablespoons of water and add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice if you fancy.

Massage the paste onto your face and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before washing off.

2. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar helps to balance the skin’s pH levels and works as a natural toner.

It helps to reduce the redness of spots, draw out impurities and exfoliate the skin thanks to the malic and lactic acids it contains.

To banish pesky pimples apply some apple cider vinegar to your face as a toner and leave for 10-20 minutes or overnight.

3. Papaya

The enzymes within papaya – papain and chymopapain – have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral powers.

Papain acts as an exfoliant on the skin which helps to break down dead skin cells and the fruit is also rich in vitamins A, B and C which help calm inflamed red spots.

There’s a range of ways you can use the tropical fruit to treat your skin condition, like blending chunks into a paste and applying as a face mask or combining with other fresh ingredients like lemon juice, honey or aloe vera.
