One of the most common things that crashes people's confidence in public, especially among teenagers is the problem of acne. It is the worst confidence buster in existence. Assuming acne presents on your back, you can hide it easily. On your shoulders, it can be covered. But on your face? Can you hide it? I don't think so. Since you cannot hide it, would you then wait for it to clear out by hiding in your closet? I assume you would also not want to face the world with all those bumps perched on the tip of your nose. Do you know there are ways you can treat this at home without paying any money for lotions or creams of different kinds? Interested? OK. I'll tell you how. Use them well and they'll disappear before you know it. 1. Apply cinnamon powder. Make a mixture of cinnamon powder and honey. Apply this mixture just before you go to bed at night, then wash off the following morning. You can also make a mixture of cinnamon powder and lemon juice and apply in the same manner. Both would achieve the same results. 2. Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is one of the most important home remedies for acne. It has been found to have both anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. All you need to do with Aloe Vera is to cut a leaf very close to its trunk and slice it open with a kitchen knife. Collect its gel and apply it on your face. If possible, you can keep it overnight. You would need to repeat this as often as you want until the acne disappears. 3. Mint juice / Coriander juice: Make a mixture of coriander powder and a little bit of turmeric powder. Apply specifically on the acne or pimples and keep overnight. Then, you can wash it off the following morning. 4. Garlic: Garlic can help in curing acne as well as clearing all the resulting spots. You can either rub the raw garlic over the affected areas as often as you want, or internalize it by eating at least three seeds of the garlic pod daily for about one month. Eating it would help purify your skin and automatically attack acne from inside. 5. Lemon: Lemon appears to be one of the most effective remedies for clearing acne. You can use this in several ways. One way is by applying the juice directly on the acne. But, make sure that the acne is not open as this would cause it to sting. Another way is to make a mixture of rose water and lemon juice and applying it on the affected area for about 20 minutes. You can also make a powder out of pomegranate skin by roasting it and mixing the powder with lemon juice. Then follow the same procedure as above. Other methods you can use include: making tomato paste and applying on your skin for about twenty minutes before washing off; applying grated potato on the affected areas, applying toothpaste on the pimples overnight before washing off the following day. The effectiveness of these methods vary from individual to individual. You need to find the one that works best for you. Prevention, they say, is better than cure. Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. If however you have some stray pimples, just use any of the above methods from the comfort of your abode.48 HOURS ACNE CURE
