Treating Acne the Natural way - 10 Simple Steps to Cure Acne

Natural, holistic or at-home remedies can be an inexpensive way to combat acne.

Some of the natural remedies are listed below.

1. Hot And Cold Compress Packs

This is one of the most popular natural home based remedies and a very simple one to try. All you do is wet a towel and press it up against the area of your body that has acne, whether it’s your face, chest or back.

This will reduce swelling and instantly eliminated clogged pores, which is a primary culprit in the cause of acne.

2. Natural Fruit Juice


One simple yet effective strategy is to use natural fruit juices as a way to alleviate the presence of external cysts and painful blackheads.

You use these juices as a topical application, stirring a bit of cucumber or citric fruit juice with a bit of almond oil.

Once mixed up, apply it the entire area where acne exists and leave on for a period of 15 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Almond oil and other natural substances like it, are easy remedies that will help remove acne if applied regularly.

Do this 2-3 times each week.

You can also replace cucumber juice with apricot juice or lemon juice, as long as they are natural with no added sweeteners or sugars.

3. Fenugreeks Leaf Remedy

Rather than cure acne, fenugreek leaves help prevent acne from returning once you have it under control. You simply crush the leaves into a small bowl, and add water to form a paste.

Apply this to your face, as a mask, and leave it on overnight. Make sure to use an old pillowcase, as it can leave light stains.

4. Mask Of Honey

Honey contains natural antibacterial qualities and is often used as a facemask in spas and home treatments. These masks are inexpensive and can be purchased from your local drug store.

Apply the mask once or twice a week, and enjoy the results. It works exceptionally well!

5. White Vinegar Treatment

Once again, this is a topical treatment that works wonders. With a cotton ball, soak in white vinegar and apply to infected area, leaving it on for 5-15 minutes.

Rinse off with cold water. If you find the vinegar too strong, dilute it with 1/3 cup of water, and apply.

6. Oatmeal Mask

Simply cook a small amount of plain oatmeal and apply to your face. Allow this mixture to set on your face for 15 minutes before rinsing off.

Oatmeal acts as a natural exfoliate, and provides instant relief. Try to integrate this method at least twice a week, as it takes very little time and effort and will yield great results.

7. Yeast Solution

Mix 1 tablespoon of dried or fresh yeast with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; apply on face, wait until it gets hard (try not to move), peel or wash with warm water.

8. Bay Leaf Remedy

Grind bay leaves and blanch in warm water, Cool and apply to your face. Rinse off after ten minutes.

9. Lettuce Solution

Saturate clean, rinsed lettuce leaves in water. Rinse your face with the water.

10. Tea Bag Cure

Mix 2-3 tea bags to some basil and cook in boiling water for 10-20 minutes. Then apply on the acne with a clean cotton ball.

The home remedies listed above are ones that been used over the years successfully.

Personally, I have found the honey mask to work wonders, and the Oatmeal mask formula has helped me keep my acne under control without the need for expensive third party treatments.
