Five home remedies for Acne

1. Five Home Remedies For Acne

2. Believe it or not, men are as concerned about acne as women. Yup, you read that right. Now, you can deny it all you want but proof of this lies in the thriving anti-acne industry that is churning out new products to combat breakouts by the minute. As acne plagues your life, you may try every trick in the book to keep it at bay. Most don’t have the patience of a saint and so gnawing at your skin seems to be the only viable option. But we’ll stop you right there. If a trip to the derma to oust flare ups, breakouts or soreness isn’t what you have in mind, we’ve handpicked a few home remedies to help with that wayward zit:

3. Ice Making several trips to the freezer to take refuge from the blistering heat isn’t the sole use of little ice cubes. The beauty industry has found a use for them as a quick remedy for pimples. Waking up to inflamed skin can be pretty much like an extension to your nightmare. When this happens, race over to the freezer, wrap an ice cube in a piece of cloth and dab it on the affected area. Applying ice to your pimple, it constricts blood vessels and shrinks your pores. Talk about two birds, one stone! Besides, cystic acne can be a real pain (literally!). So pressing ice on your face numbs it and gives you instant relief. Turn this into a spa-like experience by playing soft music and of course, spraying the room with a best smelling deodorant for men.

4. Orange Peel Summers are for all things bright! So while you sip on a tall, tangy glass of freshly squeezed orange juice let’s draw your attention to its rind. What’s does a worthless piece of rind got to do with your skin? Let’s just say it has EVERYTHING to do with it! Turns out, this citric splendour is crammed with vitamin C that plays antidote to your acne. It even contains more vitamin C than the fruit itself. Sounds crazy? Then listen to this: 100 grams of orange peels contain 136 milligrams of vitamin C, while the pulp contains only 70 milligrams/100 grams. In fact, vitamin C is responsible for fighting free radicals (these mean guys destroy healthy skin cells) and restoring your natural glow. Do you see why scores of beauty products are brimming with this potent element? Pick a long-lasting body spray or a top deodorant for men in citric flavour just to amp up your citric experience!

5. Coriander When your face is dotted with tiny zits, the temptation to pop them is real. And we mean, REAL. But put those claws away and consider cooling down, right? The cool dudes we’re talking about are coriander. Coriander juice works well to cool off those furious, pesky pimples. This green garnish works gloriously as it is rich in folate and antioxidants. Remember antioxidants — the good guys who combat free radicals and play saviour to your skin? Coriander has them all! Besides, it also has anti-fungal and anti-microbial elements that work like magic when applied on a pimple. Now that you’re convinced, make a paste of coriander leaves and a dash of turmeric powder and leave it on your skin for the night. If you’re looking for a cooler alternative, consider mint leaves. If you find the smell troubling, spray a long-lasting body spray before you smear this paste onto your face.

6. Aloe Vera With benefits that span the spectrum, aloe has rightly earned its place in history as a go-to for all ailments. Laden with anti-fungal properties, it speeds up the healing and soothing of inflamed skin. A major chunk of the blame falls on an improper sebum production. Here’s where the astringent properties of aloe step in to make things better. For crystal clear skin, apply aloe gel twice a day and revel in its benefits. For a twofold benefit, grind fresh coriander and aloe gel. While you have a face pack on your face, we suggest you also spray on a top deodorant for men and relax!

7. Almonds Dry skin comes with a host of problems of its own. But what happens when you have dry skin and acne? Not a situation you’d like to see yourself in, right? You think moisturizer is going to solve the problem but it doesn’t go down too well with your acne. Here’s where we throw our hands in the air in surrender at the mention of almonds. They are a great source of vitamin E, which makes your skin soft and supple. Oh! Did we mention that grated almonds make for a natural exfoliate that gently scrubs off acne causing bacteria? So quickly whip up a scrub with curd and almonds and slough off all that doesn’t belong on your gorgeous face.
