Homemade Acne Solutions

Homemade acne solutions are anti-acne treatments that are usually concocted at home. Their ingredients can be readily found in grocery stores and other health shops, or are already present in every kitchen. Most recipes for homemade acne solutions are handed down from generations to generations (with a few adjustments), which make them more appealing because they've already been tried and tested by our elders (mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, and so on). But some "blends" are new and are personal concoctions of acne sufferers who did a few experiments in their own kitchens and found something that worked.

Are homemade acne solutions safe?

Generally, they are because the ingredients used in making them are often natural products. However, some people are allergic or can develop allergies from these natural products. One such example is the use of essential oils. Essential oils in their purest forms are highly concentrated and may be too harsh for the skin. So their use must be regulated and their dosage must not exceed the allowable amount that can be applied on the skin.

There are also those who use unnatural products and even certain pills or tablets with active ingredients when whipping up their own homemade acne solutions. This can be dangerous because certain products are only meant to be taken internally and not to be applied topically. Aside from that, active ingredients found in these products may cause extreme damage to the skin when used incorrectly.

So exercise caution when making your own homemade acne solutions or when trying other people's recipes and make sure that none of the ingredients can cause harmful effects on your skin.

Natural Acne Solutions: Lemon

Lemon is another old and effective acne cure that's been passed on from generations to generations. Lemon juice extract contains citric acid which is good in exfoliating the skin, by removing dead skin cells and allowing new cells to grow. Applying it directly on the skin leaves you with a clean and fresh feeling as it is said to flush out dirt from the pores. To use it topically, just wet a cottonball with a freshly squeezed lemon juice and dab it on your pimples. It might sting especially if the pimple is scarred. You can dilute it with water if pure lemon juice is too strong or stingy. Leave it on for a few minutes or even overnight, then rinse. You can also squeeze lemon juice in water and use this as a rinse after cleansing your face. A glass of fresh lemon juice daily is not only a cool refreshing drink but also a great detoxifier. It cleanses the liver of toxins, allowing to effectively process vitamins and minerals that our body needs.

OTC Acne Solutions: Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body

This is what people is saying about Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body : "The Clarisonic Plus utilizes the same technology as the Sonicare toothbrush. It uses vibration to penetrate the surface level of the skin and provide a more thorough cleansing than with soap and water alone. I've used this system for 2+ weeks and noticed a difference in the texture and softness of my skin immediately. After 3 days, I saw a visible difference in the size of my pores and my skin has a glow that wasn't previously there...One benefit is that your skin care products will last longer if you are using the Clarisonic Plus. I find that I am using less cleanser, moisturizer, etc because my skin is cleaner and has fewer layers of dead skin cells so products are absorbed into the skin much better than before. For example, I apply a mask each week of bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar that normally warms and tightens as it dries on the skin. After using the Cla...
