Are you tired of dealing with acne?
According to dermatologists, acne is considered as the most common problem in women’s lives.
Unfortunately, almost every woman tries to cover up acne scars with makeup. But, this is a very unhealthy habit.
Luckily we are going to show some ways to get rid of acne at home.

Which Are 3 Home Remedies For Acne?

1. LEMON JUICE

Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, a potent ingredient in fighting acne. Lemon juice also has a drying property, which can help as well. As an acne treatment, it is essential to squeeze fresh lemon juice. In other words, lemon juice in a bottle is a no-go (it has preservatives).

There are a couple of different ways to apply this:

– Dab a cotton swap in freshly-squeezed lemon juice and apply on the affected areas before bed.

– Stir a tablespoon of lemon juice with a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply to the affected area. Leave this mixture on the affected area overnight. In the morning, rinse the skin well with warm water.

Please note: this is not a recommended treatment for those with sensitive skin.

2. TEA TREE OIL

Tea tree oil is effective in treating acne because of its antibacterial properties. Accumulation of bacteria within pores of the skin significantly increases the likelihood of a skin outbreak.

– Mix one tablespoon of aloe vera gel (a soothing agent) with a few drops of tea tree oil.

– Apply on the affected area.

– After 20 minutes, wash face with warm water.

A couple other options:

– Dip a cotton ball in tree oil, apply, and wash off after 20 minutes.

Please note: this is not a recommended treatment for those with sensitive skin.

3. TOOTHPASTE

Yes! This writer knew toothpaste was good as an acne treatment!

No kidding. Turns out toothpaste is terrific for helping clear up acne (not to mention, super convenient when getting ready in the morning.)

A couple caveats: (1) it is more effective when used after the ice treatment remedy (see number one), and (2) white toothpaste is the only option (no gel products).

– Apply white toothpaste on the affected area before heading to bed.

– Wash face with warm water.

This treatment can be used in the daytime, as in the morning when it’s more convenient. Just ensure that toothpaste remains on the skin for at least a half an hour. A marked improvement in swelling of the affected area should be noticeable relatively quickly; after a few weeks, it is possible that the acne may have cleared up.
