Home Acne Treatments
Bad acne is a battle that many people have to fight. it is not prejudiced, as it affects nearly all teenagers in this country, ranging from mild cases to more severe ones. It is not unheard of to be hearing of several different cures for it on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of different creams and cleansers available in the drugstore and they all contain nearly the same ingredients. They all also claim to be the one that is going to clear up your acne problems for good.
They are very smart at their marketing and many people, who are losing the battle to acne, will fall into a pit of buying endless amounts of different treatments to no avail. They hope, with each new product, that it is going to finally be the one that cures them of their problem. The problem is, though, that they could go on trying things for years and year to absolutely no avail. In the end, many people turn to home remedies. After all, it can’t hurt and it could end up saving you a fortune.
One thing that a lot of people swear by, is applying oatmeal all over the face. They say that cooked oatmeal on the face for fifteen minutes will take away the pain caused by severe acne. I am certain that it does not hurt to try, for even if it does not cure it, if it makes it feel better for awhile, it is probably worth it. It is important, however, that it is all carefully washed off. If any is left on the face, it could lead to more clogged pores, which could lead to even bigger problems.
Other home remedies include taking a warm bath in nettle and rosemary, rubbing garlic over the acne, and washing the face with guacamole. Some people rub a cotton ball soaked in lemon juice over their face after they are through with washing it. One of the best home remedies is dabbing toothpaste on the pimples and letting it sit overnight. It is important to use regular toothpaste and not the get kind.
All in all, what works for some people will not work for others. This is true when it comes to the drugstore treatments and for the home remedies.Your skin is different than anyone else’s, so what worked for one person may not necessarily work for you.
