If you are unsure what cream or pill to take for your acne, you can alternatively make use of the many different home remedies for acne.
These remedies are equally effective if they are properly applied and if such a remedy suits your skin type and skin condition.
As a start, you should see to it that you maintain proper skin hygiene.
Wash your skin twice a day with soap that contains benzoyl peroxide - an excellent bactericide.
Careful and gentle washing is needed so that you won't peel off the lipids on your skin.
Benzoyl peroxide can cause skin irritation, so it is suggested to use a moisturizer.
After this, you can choose from among the natural home remedies for acne.
You can use oatmeal - cook one serving, and then add honey to ease the application process.
When it cools down, apply it to the affected area and leave for ten to twenty minutes.
The oatmeal then will absorb the oil and exfoliate the skin, while the honey works as a toner.
Another natural remedy is peppermint with its menthol content that serves as natural analgesics and is also anti-inflammatory.
Collect a handful of peppermint leaves and crush them.
And then apply the crushed leaves and juice to the affected skin and leave it there for 5-10 minutes before rinsing the skin with cold water.
Repeat this as often as desired, but do not pursue if it irritates your skin.
There are still other natural remedies and you only have to be resourceful to find them.
So you can use any of those home remedies for acne.
Just remember that this condition may take 3-4 years (or even up to 8-12 years to heal) so you cannot expect quick results from these treatments.
What you have to do is be patient and consistent with your routine to cure your skin condition - and don't forget proper skin hygiene!
