Home Remedies for Acne
So I have been looking for some home remedies for acne and it came up with interesting results!
- M. balsamea (peppermint) Peppermint is preferable to spearmint as a medicinal herb because it contains menthol.
- Oatmeal – The oatmeal cleanses pores by absorbing oil and exfoliating the skin. Honey eases application and serves as a skin toner.
- Cook a single serving of plain oatmeal as you would for eating.
- Add approximately ΒΌ cup honey and mix thoroughly.
- Allow to cool.
- Apply to face, avoiding the eye area.
- Leave for 10-20 minutes. Do not leave it on too long or it will become difficult to remove.
- Lemon juice is a natural astringent and mild antibacterial agent. Rose petals, from which rose water is made, also have antibacterial properties. It is a also a skin toner and helps to mitigate the rather harsh, acidic quality of straight lemon juice.
