The solution to this problem is to use natural remedies to reduce and eliminate blemishes, with items that are already in the house.
1. Aloe Vera
The gel contained in an Aloe Vera leaf is full of polysaccharides, which not only stimulates new skin cells to grow, but is also an effective healer for blemishes. Just break off a piece of the leaf, rub the gel onto the affected area, and then allow it to dry completely before rinsing it off.
2. Cucumber
Cucumbers have many benefits that can help a person improve their skin. This vegetable is an astringent that can help clear up any blemishes or scars. It contains vitamin C and antioxidants that reduce inflammation. Cucumbers also improve the texture of the skin. Plus, it is cool and soothing. To use cucumbers to eradicate blemishes, simply peel and blend it, then apply the juice to your skin with a cotton ball.
3. Calamine Lotion
What causes acne is a buildup of excess oil in the skin. Calamine lotion can help to reduce this by absorbing this oil and leaving the skin free of blemishes. Just rub it gently over your face, or any other area where blemishes appear, as often as necessary.
4. Grape Seed Extract
This is both a strong disinfectant and a potent antimicrobial agent, making it a double threat against blemishes. Apply a mixture of 4-40 drops of this extract and 4 ounces of water to the blemishes a few times a day for speedy healing.
5. Carrots
Mashed or juiced carrots applied to any facial blemishes can help clear them up. To cleanse the whole body as well as the skin, mix three parts of the carrot juice with two parts water and one part beet juice, then drink it. This can also help to stimulate liver functions.
6. Garlic
Garlic has numerous health benefits, so it is no wonder that it is so effective when dealing with blemishes. Simply rubbing raw garlic over acne can help heal it quickly, as well as relieving any pain the blemish may cause.
7. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is effective in removing excess oil, killing bacteria, and reducing dark spots. Fresh lemon juice applied to the skin can help flush out the pores. Mixing it with honey and turmeric to make a paste can also be used daily for clearer skin.
8. Tomato Juice
A simple routine of massaging the skin with tomato pulp each day, waiting 10-15 minutes, and then rinsing the juice off with cool water can help a person to clear their skin of any blemishes. This is due the tomato’s astringent properties, as well as its high antioxidant and vitamin C content.
9. Potato
The starch in a potato is excellent for reducing pigmentation. Rubbing a raw potato, or applying potato juice, to any of these areas will lighten them and leave the skin looking beautiful. It can also help reduce any dark areas under a person’s eyes.
10. Papaya
To treat skin blemishes, as well as reducing pigmentation marks, mix a mashed papaya with warm milk and massage it over the face.
11. Orange Peels
Orange peels contain vitamin C and antioxidants, which leave the skin looking fabulous. The peels can also clear the skin of acne and scars. They can be minced and mixed in water to make a pack for the face. Orange peels can also be mixed with organic honey and plain yogurt to make a paste that can be used a few times a week until the skin is clear.
