Five Simple, Inexpensive Adult Acne Skin Remedies You Should Use Tonight
Does acne on your face still cause you embarrassment? Here are 5 acne remedies for adults that you may have overlooked.
Okay, let’s be honest: having acne is bad enough, but when you are an adult it is much more annoying than when you were a teenager. Back then, society was a bit used to it. They expect the kisses to have pimples. But as an adult, it is not that common. Having visible acne on your face, neck, shoulders, and back is more difficult to deal with emotionally because all those blemishes affect your confidence when most of the people around you have fair skin.
I would like to tell you that I had a magic remedy for adult acne that was guaranteed to work, it didn’t cost a lot, it had no side effects, and it worked fast. Anyone who promises you all that is feeding you a chimera. What I can tell you is that the simple step of improving your skincare habits will dramatically cleanse your skin, make it more attractive, and boost your confidence.
The first adult acne remedy to remember is to wash your skin properly every day. The secret here is to get it right. I can hear you muttering “Look, I’m an adult. I know how to wash my face.” The truth is that a lot of people don’t! Avoid vigorous rubbing with a cloth. Not only could it irritate the skin, the wash cloth itself could be full of bacteria and lead to more pimples, pimples, and blackheads. Washing the skin does not eliminate acne. The purpose of washing the skin is to remove excess oil and dead skin to stop part of the acne formation process.
The second remedy for acne in adults is to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells. The process reduces the amount of dead cells that accumulate on the skin and mix with the sebum, clogging the pores and causing skin blemishes. Regular exfoliation smoothes and brightens the skin, making it smoother and less prone to breakage. Most adults skip this step, but it is an important part of their daily skin care regimen. Make sure you buy a scrub that matches your skin type.
The third remedy for acne in adults is the use of essential oils. Using essential oils to control acne is a scientifically backed natural acne treatment. Since the cause of acne is propionibacterium acne bacteria, it stands to reason that therapeutic oil with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antispectic qualities could reduce acne inflammation and infection. At least one study determined that tea tree oil was effective against P. acnes. Other valuable essential oils are lavender, bergamot, cloves, and rosewood. But a word of warning: just because they are natural acne therapies doesn’t mean they don’t have side effects. Some require dilution before applying to the skin. Get the proper tips before using an essential oil.
The fourth overlooked adult acne treatment is the use of a facial mask to cleanse and heal the skin. A good deep cleansing face mask used occasionally not only heals blemishes, but prevents new acne from forming by reducing inflammation. They work by drying acne that is already on the skin and also tightens it by shrinking the pores, making the pores less visible. After removing the mask, your skin will be much softer and more pleasant to the touch.
The fifth remedy for acne in adults is one that few people know about, but it works well for many people to eliminate pimples. Use honey! Honey is naturally antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. Unlike many over-the-counter and prescription medications that adults use as a remedy for acne, honey will not dry out or irritate the skin. In fact, it soothes the skin. Make a paste of honey and almond oil or honey and cinnamon. Gently apply it to the pimple in a gentle circular motion before going to sleep. The next morning, wash it off with lukewarm water. Repeat the process for about two weeks and watch your skin clear up and become more radiant.
