Smooth, supple, glowing and clear skin is perhaps everyone’s dream. And not just women even men. After all, who would like patchy, rough, dull skin or acne? But unfortunately, most of us go through these on a daily basis. Pimples or acne breakout is one of the most common skin issues amongst a massive population and the reason for it varies from pollution, unhealthy lifestyle, our diets choices, bad skin products or just an oily skin! They can be painful, irritating and can literally ruin our day. And many of us end up using expensive cosmetics and treatments to treat the same as soon as possible.
But did you know you can treat these without a hole in your pocket and at the comfort of your home? Your kitchen pantry is a treasure trove of foods that can heal your skin naturally. Here are three home remedies to try when struggling with acne!
1. Lemon And Honey
This two-ingredient face mask can literally do wonders for your skin! The mixture of lemon with honey will moisturise your skin to a great extent and make it look soft and supple. Lemon helps clean the skin and eliminates dead skin cells, reducing oil secretion. Honey too has antiseptic and antibacterial properties that help in reducing the oil secretion. Thus, applying a mix of both can help even the oily skin battle acne!
2. Sandalwood, Multani Mitti And Lemon
Our ancestors used to swear by the magical properties of sandalwood and Multani Mitti (fuller earth). Multani Mitti is also used in various skin products since it is known to benefit those with oily skin. Mix both of them in equal quantities and apply once a week for a clearer, smooth skin.
3. Curd
Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, curd can be your go-to ingredient to treat acne! You can mix it as a face pack with turmeric, rose water and Multani Mitti and apply once a week.
