But first let us dig deeper about acne. There have been reports and studies before that concluded that oily skin and accumulated dirt is the very core of the acne problem. But later research has shown that this is not entirely true. The truth of the matter is there are so many things that could cause an acne outbreak. Controlling the over production of oil in the face and making sure that dirt is cleansed on a daily basis can only do so much.
Some home remedies that can control acne are papaya, lemon and garlic. Lemons are rich in vitamin C which can help the skin reproduce healthier cells. Aside from just a vitamin known for boosting the immune system, it is also a promoter of collagen production, a very important protein in the skin. Just apply the lemon juice on your face before sleeping and wash it off the following day.
Garlic can also tame the severity of acne by rubbing off its juice on problem areas. This is not an overtime remedy, nor a miracle potion. It takes several application of garlic to clear out the acne.
Papaya is also a good remedy for acne. Minus the offending smell of the garlic, the papaya is very effective not only in controlling outbreaks but also in the prevention of future acne problems. What you need to do is mash it finely and apply it like a facial mask. Leave it on for 15 minutes and remove it with a wet cloth.
Acne home treatment can work best if you also couple it quality sleep everyday and eating a vitamin-rich diet by making sure you have fruits and vegetables in every meal you take. Without a healthy lifestyle, no home remedy can deliver your expectations.
