Have you struggled with acne as a teenager? Have you struggled as an adult? Look no further than your kitchen cupboards! There are many natural common household items that can cure your acne better than anything you could ever buy from a store. <\/p>\n<p>First of all oatmeal absorbs unwanted oil and draws out impurities that reside under the surface of your skin. Cook plain oatmeal and wait for it to cool. After the oatmeal is cool, purify your skin by rubbing the oatmeal over your clean skin. Let the oatmeal sit on your face for a while, as though it was a mask. After it has sat for a while, rinse it off. After doing this for a while, you will be sure to see positive results. <\/p>\n<p>Lemon and lime juice, really any citrus can be a substitute for a vinegar astringent. These juices are full of citric acid and will exfoliate your skin. As you exfoliate, you will stop the development of acne and will begin to notice old spots fading away. Put a little citrus on your skin and watch your acne disappear! Sounds too good to be true? <\/p>\n<p>Try Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree oil is used as an antiseptic. You can find Tea Tree Oil at just about any store. Apply it directly to acne spots and kill the bacteria. Strongly dilute the Tea Tree Oil and put it all over your face. The oil in gel form is often easier to apply and probably won&rsquo;t be as strong as the straight Tea Tree Oil. The gel will not need to be diluted. Say goodbye to acne-causing bacteria! <\/p>\n<p>Aloe Vera is a common household name. It has been used for years in kitchens, as well as treatment for burns, especially those caused by the sun. Aloe Vera prevents scaring and prevents fade marks. Aloe Vera helps heal acne as well. <\/p>\n<p>With all of that said, acne can also be caused by a malfunctioning digestive system. It is important to keep your digestive system clear if you desire to steer clear of further acne issues. Brewer&rsquo;s yeast, carrot juice, cucumber, and lemon all help the digestive system to function as Allah intends it to. Since the digestive systems is closely related to the overall health of the skin, keeping you digestive system in working order will also help reduce breakouts. Finally, if you still are having problems with your acne, Flax seed can also be great when it comes to helping your skin heal faster. Now go through those kitchen cupboards and clear that skin covered in acne to reveal the beautiful skin you were born with.<\/p>\n<p>Applying homemade pastes to acne affected areas: <\/p>\n<p>The natural pastes that can prevent acne are orange peel paste, cucumber leaves paste, honey and cinnamon powder paste and black cumin seed powder pastes. Some other mixes and pastes that Grandmas suggest to curb acne include a mix of pomegranate powder with fresh lime, a blend of turmeric powder with sandalwood and of course the venerable Neem powder paste.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, not many people know that a mixture of nutmeg powder with fresh milk or an equal blend of lemon juice and cinnamon powder works wonders for acne. So does a mixture of groundnut oil and lemon juice. <\/p>\n<p>Other wonder concoctions to combat acne include: <\/p>\n<p>1. Lime juice mixed with boiled milk<br \/>2. Turmeric mixed with mint juice<br \/>3. Rose water and lemon juice in equal quantities<\/p>\n<p>and when you are on to natural remedies for acne, do not overlook the raw papaya juice, fresh mint juice and ripe tomato pulp. Unknown to many, these are actually quite good cures for acne. <\/p>\n<p>A freshly cut clove of garlic or toothpaste dabbed over a pimple and kept overnight are common acne cures, while there is nothing like ice, rosewater or lavender oil for an instant soothing feel. A paste of fenugreek leaves or the juices of a fresh lemon left overnight are effective acne remedies too.<\/p>\n<p>Try using apple and honey! Simply pop an apple into a blender to create paste, and mix it with 3-4 tablespoons of honey. <\/p>\n<p>Apply the mixture on affected areas of the skin, but do not press and rub harshly. Let the solution stay for over 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water. <\/p>\n<p>Even when the awful pimple or acne has gone and given you healthy supple skin, continue to use the apple and honey mixture on a regular basis to prevent acne, pimples and zits from ruining your face.<\/p>\n<p>Oatmeal, too have effects similar to apple and honey. It heals acne by absorbing excess skin oils which mostly causes those nasty sprouts on your face. With a blender, process into powder several spoonfuls of oatmeal, then mix with warm water. <\/p>\n<p>Once you get the oats in a creamy condition, you may mix with lavender and chamomile. On your washed-clean face, apply the mixture all over your face, with more of it on affected areas. Leave for over ten minutes and rinse, and see for yourself how the oatmeal mask leaves your skin healthy and clean.<\/p>\n<p>Garlic and potatoes, too, has been proven to have anti-inflammatory elements. Just cut small pieces and hold over your pimple, and the swelling disappears. For an even quicker fix, head to the freezer, take out an ice cube and hold it to your pimple. It does help reduce the swelling pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Honey and Apple <br \/>Honey has been recognized for its extraordinary healing qualities for thousands of years. It has antibacterial agents and is thus wonderful in the treatment of acne, too. Similarly, apple has antioxidants and is good at ridding the body of toxins and bacteria. <\/p>\n<p>Simply grate some apple and combine it into the honey. This splendidly gooey mixture should then be applied to any area of the body that&#39;s suffering from acne. Leave for fifteen to 20 minutes and then wash with warm water. <\/p>\n<p>Once you&#39;ve cleaned the honey and apple mixture from your body, you may notice it useful to rinse in cold water, as this will close the pores.<\/p>\n<p>Tomato slices<br \/>Tomato is a readily available and common vegetable. Cut a fresh tomato into slices and rub evenly on the scar or the acne affected areas. Leave for a few minutes to penetrate the skin and wash it off. Repeat twice a day until the scars disappear or the acne pimples reduce<\/p>\n<p>Honey and Cinnamon Powder<br \/>This home remedy for acne is very common and very effective in fighting acne from the inside out. Mix honey with cinnamon powder and apply on the acne affected areas before sleeping. As you rest and as the skin rejuvenates, it will absorb them and by morning the pimples and heads will have lessened. When this is repeated everyday, it guarantees to treat acne and prevent any future breakouts of the same.<\/p>\n<p>Ammarah<br \/>Radio Islam<br \/>+27118547022<br \/>ammarah@radioislam.co.za<br \/>www.radioislam.co.za<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for the &ldquo;miracle cure&rdquo; for your acne?
