Acne Remedies Sold and Homemade
Are you having huge problems with acne? It’s a wonder how much acne can still affect our lives with the amount of treatments already available fore them. One of the problems people who suffer from acne have is that there are too many treatments that they can’t decide which one to use. So they tend to shift from one method to another and thus fail to see the results they want.
One thing you have to understand about acne – or any other sickness for that matter – is that it takes time for the medicine to take effect. So what you should do is decide what treatment you should use and use it for some time. But what should you choose? There are the home remedies for acne and then there are the commercial remedies. Read on to make a decision.
Homemade Treatments
Most home remedies for acne are relatively easy to do. In fact, you don’t have to mix too many ingredients for this.
Wash your face twice a day if your acne is just starting out. However, for those who are already suffering from the skin problem, you can use pumpkin as a sort of facial mask. For twenty minutes every other day, you should apply it on your face. You can then remove it with warm water.
You can also use garlic for large pimples. Just slice some garlic and rub it on the zit. The next day, you’ll find the pimple decreasing. You can do this every day if you wish. Orange peels are also effective and can clean the pores and moisturize skin. Those mentioned are also effective as home remedies for acne scars.
Commercial Acne Remedies
Over the counter remedies that are conveniently wiped on the face are also effective for controlling acne. However, you might find it hard to settle on a brand that will compliment your skin.
Look for cleansers with salicylic acid for an ingredient. Aside from that ingredient, there isn’t really a specific brand that can be recommended for all. Medications for acne are basically taken as prescribed by physicians. Of course, home remedies for acne scars are also available much like commercial ones. There are time when the removing of pimples and healing of scars are combined in just one commercial product.
What to Choose
With regards on what to use, I recommend that you first try using acne home remedies. Not only are they safe but also cheap. However, if you are unsatisfied with their results, then you can move on to marketed acne products.
Keep in mind what was said before. It takes time for the treatments to work so stick to one method first. When using commercial products, test it out on your skin first for allergy.
