Home Remedies For Acne

If you’re looking for some home remedies for acne, there are quite a few available for you to try out, some of the cures go back thousands of years even.  So if you’re tired of the store bought medication and looking for a more natural solution, try out these solutions:

1.    Strawberries and Strawberry Leaves

This is one of the most ancient home remedies for acne, it was used at one time by the ancient Egyptians to keep their complexion clean and clear.  It’s a pretty simple solution, simple grind strawberries and strawberry leaves into a paste and apply that to your face.  Leave it on for some time before washing it off.

2.     Amaranth

This works well as a tea.  To make one, boil 3 cups of water and then add 2 teaspoons of amaranth seeds to it.  Cover this concoction and let it sit for about 5 minutes.  Now if you have some amaranth leaves, what you can do at this point is remove the pot and then add the leaves to steep for 30 minutes.  If you don’t have the leaves, that’s fine, let it steep and then drink it once the 30 minutes are up.

3.     Sugar

Now normally sugar is something you’d want to avoid eating as when ingested it can cause breakouts, but when used externally it’s a whole other story.  Simply add a little bit of water to white sugar until you form a paste, then dab that onto the affected areas.  Sugar has an anti-bacterial effect used in this way.

Now if you are still looking for home remedies for acne, there is one all natural solution which works to normalize your hormonal levels.  It’s when your hormonal levels are out of balance that you break out, and by using an herbal pill that addresses this you can stop acne before it even starts.  To learn more about this method of treatment, click this link for more info.
