Home Acne Remedies #1 – Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of the best home remedies for acne. The easiest way to use oatmeal is to boil it for several minutes, let it cool, and then apply it to the skin. Let the oatmeal sink into your skin and wash off with warm water. Oatmeal is great at reducing redness and itching that can usually accompany acne. (As a side note, oatmeal is also a great source of whole grain fiber. If you eat oatmeal and other whole grains on a daily basis, they can help fill you up and become one of the easy fast weight loss tips your use for years to come!)
Home Acne Remedies #2 – Lemon
Lemon is another one of the great natural remedies for acne. Lemons (and limes) are great for acne treatment because they break up bacteria. You can apply lemon juice to the affected areas on your skin at night and wash off in the morning. Lemon juice can also be mixed with ground cinnamon powder and applied to any already formed pimples or blackheads.
Home Acne Remedies #3 – Toothpaste
I’ll be you didn’t know that toothpaste could also be a natural remedy for acne. That’s right, the same toothpaste you use to clean your mouth can also be used to help clean up your acne. Apply toothpaste to the affected areas and let it dry on your skin overnight. The toothpaste will help dry out the pimple and reduce swelling.
Home Acne Remedies #4 – Mint
Menthol, which is found in peppermint, has a cooling effect on the skin and can help kill bacteria. You can apply mint juice alone or mixed with turmeric powder directly to the affected skin. Leave it on for up to a half hour and wash off with warm water.
