These home remedies might not be a permanent solution for your pimple problems but they can help you reduce acne formation by manifolds.
Acne and pimple outbreaks are skin problems that will affect you irrespective of your gender of season. Oftentimes, what happens inside our bodies is reflected on the outside and hormonal disbalances are one of the most prominent outbreaks that we can see on the skin.
Acne can be caused due to several reasons, the weather, allergy, or changing hormones. Some people experience them during their periods, or pregnancy because those are the times when your body goes through major hormonal changes and hence the acne starts showing up.
But how to get rid of acne? Is there a permanent solution? While we can’t say if these solutions are permanent but they can help you reduce acne formation by manifolds.
1. Cleanse your face properly
You must thoroughly cleanse your face to get rid of dirt and impurities on the outer layer of your skin. Use a very mild face wash, and wash your face twice a day. Keeping your face clean and dirt-free will really help in reducing dirt settling on the skin, clogging the pores, and leading to acne formation.
2. Hydration is the key
Stay hydrated at all times. Drink as much water and liquids as you can so that your skin is hydrated as well. Also include green tea in your daily routine because it works internally and decreases acne formation on your face. It is a magic potion that works beautifully on the inside.
3. Use gel-based moisturiser
You must never skip on your moisturiser, however, remember to use a gel-based one with a pea-size application.
4. Use Tea tree oil
Tea tree is a holy grail product for all sorts of acne. It decreases inflammation on the skin that causes acne. Opt for tea tree oil-based cleansers, toners and moisturisers. If you plan on using the oil, go light on the quantity, preferably 1-2 drops as tea-tree can dry your skin.
5. Use Fuller's Earth
Fuller’s Earth or Multani mitti pack works wonders for acne as it cools your skin. You can find it easily at any departmental store. All you need to do is mix it with some rose water and apply the pack to your face once a week.
6. Always apply sunscreen
Always wear sunscreen whenever leaving the house. Your skin needs protection to stay away from more acne. Sunscreen also prevents your acne scars from getting darker.
7. Avoid make-up
Don’t wear makeup that clogs your pores. It is advisable to avoid makeup as much as possible because the products that clog your pores will lead to more acne formation.
