If you are looking for acne home remedies, you may find that there are many for which you have readily available ingredients. Here, two home remedies that you can use for an acne outbreak will be discussed.
The first remedy is the use of mint wash. In lieu of steam or hot compress, you can use mint wash to achieve a cooling effect while opening your pores. To prepare a mint wash, all you need is 1 tsp peppermint in oil, half a cup of cool water, and a few mint Altoids. Just mix these all together. You may also use a menthol-based mouthwash if you feel comfortable. But never, under any circumstance, use one with alcohol as this can burn your skin. Use cotton balls and dab lightly. Using this can help clean the underlying excess oil and dirt.
Another one from a slew of acne home remedies is the aspirin facial mask. All you need is around one to two aspirin tablets, although some sources prescribe five up to ten. All you need to do is to crush them into powder and mix them with a small amount of water. The result is a paste that you can apply to your skin. For better results, the use of Aloe Vera gel, instead of water, is suggested. Before application, make sure to wash your face first. Make sure to clean it as thoroughly as you can. After you apply the aspirin paste, leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse using warm water and apply moisturizer afterwards. This is good for those with very oily skin and can be done once a week. For other skin types, no more than twice a week is recommended.
Using acne home remedies is you’re best option if you have acne since it is relatively cheaper and can provide faster healing and relief. It will also pose lesser threat to your skin since there is not much chemical or treatment involved. Just pay careful attention to the results and if any exacerbation or complication occurs, make sure to consult your doctor or dermatologist right away.
