No matter who you are, if you have acne, then we know you are looking for some type of acne treatment. With that said, we believe you should take a look at the homemade acne treatment. As we write this article, we are going to tell you some of those solutions that worked for us when we were dealing with the problem.
Of course, acne always pops up at the worst times, although we’re not so sure there ever is a good time to have acne! But for those last-minute, emergency treatments, there are a few things you can try without having to run to the store and shell out for an expensive name-brand product.
The first acne treatment remedy is something everyone has in their bathroom, but the thought of putting toothpaste on your face could seem a bit…odd. That’s right—toothpaste! Put a generous amount of toothpaste on each pimple right before bed. The toothpaste will help dry up the excess oil and greatly reduce redness while you sleep. Of course you can put toothpaste on your acne in the day time, just make sure you’re able to leave it on for a while so that it has plenty of time to soak up the excess moisture from the pimple. A good tip for those red pimples is to apply a bit of Visine eye drops. It won’t treat the pimple, but it will get rid of the redness.
Have you ever heard of the antibiotic called Neosporin? If you apply a bit to your acne before bedtime and leave it on overnight, it will help to kill off the bacteria that causes the pimples. Although there are tons of other remedies you can try, some of our favorites include: baking soda, garlic, ice cubes, crushed aspirin, and potatoes. For more homemade acne treatments, you can find plenty of free remedies and recipes online.
