Acne is a skin disease that can occur during adolescence and adulthood, causing pimples and blackheads that, once healed, can also leave quite obvious scars: let's see what the 5 most effective remedies are for freeing up our skin from acne and impurities.
1. Chamomile hydrolate to cleanse acne skin
Proper cleansing is essential for the health and beauty of the skin: acne-prone skin is particularly sensitive and reactive, so it is very important that cleansing is gentle. To soothe inflammation, chamomile hydrolate can be very useful, to be used as a facial cleanser in the morning and in the evening on a cotton pad: this hydrolate cleanses the skin gently and calms irritation and inflammation.
2. Essential antibacterial oils that help fight acne
Essential oils have an antibacterial action that is beneficial for acne or skin with impurities; the most suitable essences in case of acne are the essential oil of tea tree, the lavender oil and that of Palmarosa. Essential oils can be added to Aloe vera gel: by adding a drop of essential oil to a teaspoon of aloe gel you get an excellent moisturizing, soothing and antibacterial product perfect for acne-prone skin.
3. Black cumin oil for juvenile acne
Vegetable oil extracted from black cumin seeds is a very aromatic oil since it contains a percentage of essential oil; just the essential oil content makes this vegetable oil an excellent antiseptic and anti-inflammatory product, useful remedy against acne and pimples, especially during adolescence.
Cumin oil is used to prepare oils, creams and roll-ons for young skins with pimples, impurities and acne: excellent synergy between cumin oil, jojoba oil and essential oils of tea tree, lavender and lemon.
4. Manuka honey to promote healing of the skin
Manuka honey is an effective natural product with an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action, which can also promote wound healing and prevent the appearance of scars: this honey is therefore a valid remedy for acne and impure skin. To benefit from Manuka honey, it is sufficient to regularly perform a purifying face mask, spreading a thin layer of honey on the face for 10-15 minutes. The honey is then rinsed with warm water and the mask can be applied two or three times a week.
5. Fruit acids against acne and impurities
Fruit contains various organic acids including lactic acid, glycolic acid and citric acid, which can act as natural peels, promote cell renewal and purify the skin by removing dead cells and excess sebum.
Applying a fruit-based mask to the skin is an excellent and cost-effective remedy for restoring radiance and freshness to acne-prone and impure skins: just get a kiwi or strawberry puree and apply the purée to your face for 10-15 minutes, then rinsing with warm water; the mask can be applied two or three times a week.
