Masks: They are considered as one of the best acne treatments and have proven to be magically effective if used at regular intervals. Masks can be easily made at home using the materials available in your kitchen. Apply them evenly on your back either yourself or with the help of a partner to achieve best results. Here are some easy masks that you can easily make and use.
Rub raw garlic over the acne several times in a day. This helps to cure the live acne as well as the acne spots. Tackle the problem at the root by eating about 3 seeds of the garlic pod, once a day for a month. The garlic will purify the blood stream and that will automatically prevent and treat the acne.
Garlic has antiseptic properties, so it forms an effective natural acne treatment.
Grind it and apply on acne and rinse it off after 20 minutes. This treatment dries out the acne. Apply lemon juice to pimples. Lemon juice is an effective overnight remedy to treat pimples because it contains alpha hydroxy acids, an ingredient that is in many expensive skin care products. To use it as an overnight treatment, first wash your face with a gentle face cleanser. Pour or squeeze 1 tsp. lemon juice into a bowl. If you have sensitive skin, also pour 1 tsp. water into the bowl and mix it with the lemon juice. Use a cotton ball to absorb the liquid, and apply the mixture to your pimples. Leave the lemon juice on your skin overnight. Wash it off in the morning.
Honey and Cinnamon: The antibacterial properties of honey and cinnamon helps to reduce acne very quickly.
You have to prepare a face mask with the help of one tablespoon of raw honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply it liberally on the acne on your face. If you have acne scars then you can use this paste on them as well for acne scar removal.
Individuals having oily skin can apply a face mask made out of dried orange peel powder mixed with milk. The orange peel will remove the excess oil and dirt from the skin.
Honey helps heal the skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In Chicken Soup & Other Folk Remedies, Joan Wilen and Lydia Wilen suggest adding a little nutmeg to the honey. Mix one tablespoon with honey with one tablespoon of nutmeg and apply it to the affected area.
