If you have a single large pimple that you want to reduce, you can apply a crushed orange peel directly to the spot. The citrus oils will help reduce redness and bring down the swelling faster. However, orange peel should be used sparingly, to avoid overly drying out the skin.
Having a clearer face may be as simple as taking a dip in the ocean. It is known that salt water has a positive effect on acne. It drys up the oils that cause breakouts, leaving you with a smooth result. You can also make your own salt water and wash daily.
Much like garlic, onions can also reduce acne. Onions contain sulfuric acid, which eliminates acne bacteria. Simply cut some slices of onion and soak them in water for a bit, then apply the water to the affected areas of your face. If you're brave enough, you can try rubbing onion slices directly to your skin.
Taking a high-dose vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) supplement everyday could reduce acne and improve the overall condition of your skin. Some studies suggest that vitamin B5 can regulate hormones and fatty acids. A build up of fatty acids in the body can cause sebum to be excreted through pores on the skin leading to acne, so by taking a supplement that regulates the levels of fatty acids in the body, acne outbreaks should be reduced.
Shaving serves as exfoliation and therefore, can be an excellent way of removing dead skin cells. This can help to both prevent acne, and keep it from spreading if a break out has occurred. Avoid shaving any areas that are sore or infected however, as this can further irritate the skin.
You know from experience that acne can make you feel badly and steal your self-esteem. Putting the ideas in this article into action is the surest way to extricate yourself from the acne trap.
