Homemade Acne Remedies

Before you try out homemade acne remedies, you must first find out whether you are allergic to any of the natural ingredients used in these treatments, like eggs, lemons, glycerin, oranges, papaya, garlic and others. The homemade acne remedies mentioned below are beneficial for treating body acne, scalp acne, face acne, as well as acne scars.

When acne first makes its appearance, it generally starts with blackheads, which are formed when the dead skin cells and oil are trapped in a skin pore, and when exposed to air continuously, it starts turning black. Inflamed blackheads are what we know as pimples, and these keep multiplying when our unclean hands touch the skin area.

The following homemade acne remedies have been designed to cure this type of skin condition.
First, use garlic regularly on your face. It will smell of course, but rubbing a piece of garlic on and around pimples will bring you amazing result, guaranteed!

Lime juice too has excellent properties that can help with removing acne marks. Apply lime juice mixed with cinnamon powder on your face regularly, or try a mix of groundnut oil and lime juice.  Or take some milk and add fresh lime juice to it and use as a face wash for skin that has acne or is too dry and cracked. Lime juice mixed with rose water works equally well on skin with acne marks.

There are a number of fruits and vegetables sitting in your refrigerator that can help you with acne removal. For instance, the juice of grated potatoes work very well on skin blemishes, an hour long application of ripe tomato paste or cucumber pulp can work wonders too. You can also use the juice extracted from a raw papaya and get the same results.

A mix of honey and cinnamon powder, applied overnight and washed off the following morning will make all the acne on your face go away, while a paste made of fenugreek leaves and left on your face overnight can stop pimples and wrinkles from attacking your face forever. Even good old vinegar mixed with a little bit of salt and rubbed on your face can help get rid of acne marks.

Other homemade acne remedies include applying orange peel paste, fresh mint juice, sandalwood and rose water paste, mint juice with turmeric powder, a paste of lime juice and roasted & powdered pomegranate skin, and ground radish seeds made into a paste and mixed with water.
