Herbal Remedies for Acne
Dealing with acne isn't something anyone wants to go through. Acne can be embarrassing and hard to get rid of. There are products available on the market to help, but many can dry out the skin, leading to more problems.
Herbal remedies for acne can be less expensive and more effective when you start trying to fight acne problems. Many of these remedies can be made with items you may already have in your kitchen.
What You'll Need:
- Ripe tomato
- Dried rosemary
- Honey
- Cinnamon
- Make a fresh tomato paste with a small ripe tomato. You can put the tomato in a food processor to do this. Apply a small amount of the paste on the affected area. Allow the paste to dry for at least 20 minutes. Wash the paste off with warm water. This will help to bring the infection forward and the acne should disappear faster.
- Boil a few tablespoons of dried rosemary in a cup of water. This will make a great cleansing treatment that you can use on your face. Once the rosemary tea has cooled apply it to the affected areas with a cotton ball. You can do this several times a day to disinfect the area and help draw the acne out of the skin.
- Make a paste with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Dab this on the acne at night before you go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning simply wash your face to remove the paste. Honey is a natural antiseptic and cinnamon will reduce redness and swelling.
