How to Get Rid of Acne: A Beginner’s Guide

Before we begin, do not be under any illusion that getting rid of acne is easy. It isn’t. In fact, it is dreadfully difficult. A technique which may work for one person may not necessarily work for another. It is all down to what may be causing your acne and how well your skin responds to a treatment. That being said, on this page we have selected the most effective treatments. If you are battling this skin condition, then you will probably find that one of these works for you!

Aspirin
This is a treatment which is only going to work on a single pimple or two. If your whole face is covered, it is probably going to be a bit cumbersome.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory. If you have some at home, you have an acne treatment that is ready to go. To make it, mix one aspirin up with three times the amount of water. You can then apply it to the pimple. Leave it in place until it hardens. This should take about thirty minutes. Once it has hardened, take it off with a wet tissue.

Aloe vera
I have yet to see a skin condition where aloe vera does not work. It is that great. For acne, it is even better. It will instantly cool your skin down, which is great if you are suffering from irritation. In addition to this, it will help with inflammation and reduce the size of your pimples. To cap it all off, the oils that cause acne will be removed from your skin.

Honey
Honey is another one of those ‘wonder’ treatments for your skin. This is because it is a natural antibiotic. It can boost the killing of bacteria which, in turn, will reduce pimples. It is also very sticky substance. This means it draws out dirt and impurities and basically cleans them off. Mixing honey with cinnamon seems to work particularly well when it comes to dealing with acne. You just have to remember that things are going to get very messy.

Garlic
Eat more garlic. It is wonderful for dealing with all sorts of ailments because it has a high level of antioxidants. If you want it to get to work on your acne fast, however, then you will need to rub a clove of garlic directly on the impacted area. Yes, you are going to end up smelling. Yes, it is very effective.

Never pop your pimples!
It is one of the most tempting things in the world, but do not do it. Under no circumstance should you pop your pimples. This will cause acne scarring and you are going to have an even bigger problem on your hands!

Yes, the sole focus of this guide on how to get rid of acne has been natural treatments. This is because they are better for your skin. By all means, try some of the treatments that you can get from your local pharmacy, but start with these ones first. They work wonders!
