Acne, or Acne Vulgaris, is a common problem in teenagers. Moreover, adults aged 20-40 can also suffer from acne breakouts. The condition is characterized by slightly swollen, small red bumps on skin caused by clogged skin pores.

This basically happens when excess oil produced by overactive sebaceous glands block the skin pores along with accumulation of bacteria (P. acnes), dirt, and dead skin cells.

It may be triggered by a number of factors like hormonal changes, environmental pollution, high levels of humidity, application oil-based cosmetic products, stress, intake of certain medications (mood stabilizers, anti-convulsants, thyroid medications, systemic steroids, anabolic steroids, etc.), birth control pills, and so on.

Besides, it can be caused by a genetic predisposition. More often than not, acne breakouts appear on face and neck. However, they may also appear on the chest, shoulders, back, and even scalp.

Deep acne cysts tend to be more severe and are likely to leave behind scars. Thus, when dealing with severe acne, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.

How to Get Rid of Acne

Though acne cannot be cured completely all of a sudden, still here are 9 ways to control and treat acne breakouts effectively.
  • Ice Treatment
  • Honey
  • Lemon Juice
  • Garlic
  • Baking Soda
  • Essential Oils
  • Benzoyl Peroxide
  • Oral Contraceptives
  • Steroid Injection

 Take some ice cubes or crushed ice and wrap it in a piece of clean cloth. Place this cloth on your acne for about 10 seconds and repeat this simple therapy after a few minutes for 5-6 times. It reduce the swelling and helps close the skin pores.

Heat organic honey in microwave for about 20 seconds and apply it on your skin in circular motion. Leave for about 10 minutes before rinsing it out with lukewarm water. Apply this honey mask one or two times in a week. You may also some cinnamon powder in honey to eliminate acne.

Lemon juice is considered highly effective in getting rid of acne and pimples. You simply need to apply the juice on the affected areas and wash it off after 15-20 minutes. If it causes stinging sensation then dilute lemon juice and water before applying.

Take two cloves of garlic, crush them, and apply on your acne breakouts. After a few minutes, rinse the area and pat dry.

Create a thick paste by mixing water in a teaspoon of baking soda. Apply it on the affected area and rinse off after a couple of minutes. Follow this procedure two times in a day. To increase the effectiveness of this remedy, you may use lemon juice instead of water.

Essential oils like lavender oil, thyme oil, tea tree oil, lemongrass oil, bergamot oil, etc. have antibacterial properties. Hence, they help cure acne and close the pores. Clear your acne and blemishes with any of these oils for spot treatment. Make sure you dilute the oil before using it.

Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most recommended remedies for acne and pimples because it kills Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria. So, apply a Benzoyl peroxide acne product on the affected area for a few weeks. Do not use it with other acne medications, though. Plus, this antimicrobial substance can cause dryness and skin peeling but the skin is likely to get used to it over time. In case your skin becomes uncomfortable dry and flaky then moisturize your skin after cleansing.

Taking oral contraceptives is another popular acne treatment for women as they suppress the overactive sebaceous glands. Before following this cure, it is suggested to check with your gynecologist first. Besides, you can take antibiotics to fight bacteria. However, the bacteria tend to become resistant to certain antibiotics.

In case you want to get rid of cystic acne soon (for instance, before a huge event) then you may consider going for a steroid injection. These intralesional corticosteroid injections, also known as steroid shots or cyst injections reduce inflammation and help flatten out zits within a week.

Tips to Prevent Acne

It has been observed that a diet high in refined sugars may contribute in causing acne as they trigger increased hormonal activity to produce more insulin in order to lower the increased blood sugar levels. Thus, avoid taking foods like cookies, candies, doughnuts, processed foods and beverages as they are high in refined sugars. Experts have not found any link between greasy foods and acne, though. Chocolates, however, are associated with rosacea.

Use oil-free and non-comedogenic cosmetic products as they are not likely to clog skin pores. Plus, as far as possible, avoid wearing makeup.

How to Cure Acne with Honey Remedies

Posted by: Admin Posted date: 01:55 / comment : 0 , , , , , ,

Honey is well-known for its anti-bacterial and healing properties. It has been more than 2000 years that honey has been used for the treatment of skin problems and healing different types of wounds. And it has always been successful in producing spectacular results. The most appreciated type of honey is the raw one, because it retains more of its curative potential. It contains potassium, which suffocates bacteria in acne cells to get rid of skin blemishes and pimples faster. In addition to healing your acne, like other topical products, honey does not dry, peel or flake up your skin.

Positive Effects of Honey for Acne Skin


Honey also has anti inflammatory properties. It treats the inflammation associated with acne and calms the skin. It soothes and nourishes it by providing a healthy glow to your skin. This natural ingredient can be used for the treatment of acne both- for external or internal consumption. Taking a spoonful of honey every morning has proved very beneficial for the skin. Honey helps in destroying the causative organisms and deals with acne at its roots.

You can benefit from the positive effects of honey by using it as a face mask. This is a good way to get rid of acne overnight. Mix honey and lemon juice in equal quantities and apply it over your skin. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and wash it off. Lemon juice reduces the stickiness of honey and allows easy application. Alternatively, you can also mix honey, almond oil and lemon juice as a mask.

Though honey might be effective in the treatment of acne but it is not for everyone. Some people are allergic to honey and for them instead of treating acne it might worsen the condition. Get an allergy test done before you set off to try the honey acne treatment. And also make sure that the honey you use is a good one. If you can get medical-grade honey, that’s ideal, but if you can’t get that, then it is better to use natural, raw, unprocessed, unheated honey with no added ingredients, from organic hives that have not been treated with chemicals or antibiotics.
