You've probably been searching for an acne home remedy ever since you got your first zit. I know I did when I started getting acne; it was the most annoying problem I'd had in all my life. Granted, I wasn't old enough to have experienced too many health problems, but it felt like a serious issue at the time. I know that you, my fellow acne sufferer, probably feel that same way.
The good news is that there is hope for you in finding an acne home remedy. I myself have found quite a few that have worked for me over the past several years, and I would like to share them with you right now. They are all inexpensive and don't require any prescription drug treatments.
1. Ice: Yes, ice can soothe the pain of swelled, inflamed acne, especially the cysts. But don't just take an ice cube out of your freezer and slap it on the old zit. Use an ice pack with an ice pack cover or towel wrapped around it. If you don't have one of these, simply wrap a few cubes in a paper towel or washcloth and hold it against your zit for 15 minutes or so. A good time to do this is while you're watching a movie.
2. Honey: This sticky substance has bacterial-fighting qualities that make it a great option for acne sufferers. It's less expensive to buy a bottle of honey than most acne products, and you can get it out of the kitchen when you need it instead of storing it in the medicine cabinet. Just pour a little onto a dish, dab a Q-tip in honey, and pat it gently on individual zits. You can go to bed with it on, but be careful not to get it on your pillow, as it will stick to your forehead, leaving you with a peel-up job in the morning. Rinse it off when you wake up.
3. Aloe vera: I've used aloe vera to calm the redness down on my face and cool off the steaming hot, swelling acne. It doesn't necessarily fight the bacteria, but it gives you some great relief while you sleep.
Your best bet with an acne home remedy is to go on a short diet to cleanse your body. You won't have much success with the above methods if the inside of your body is still surfacing bacteria on the inside. Use the diet found at http://www.easyskintreatment.com/acnefree to combat zits from the inside-out while you use the acne home remedy above to help you get rid of acne on the outside.
