HOW TO REMOVE PIMPLES AND ACNE AT HOME.

Six home remedies for acne

Many home remedies can help improve a person's acne pimples and sores. Home remedies for acne include gentle herbal creams and gels, essential oils, natural supplements, and some simple lifestyle changes.
Acne develops when pores become clogged or infected with bacteria. Acne is the most common skin condition in the India, affecting around 80 percent of people in their lifetimes.
People can use specific home remedies to help balance the skin's oil levels, reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and prevent future acne breakouts.

Home remedies for acne

Some of the most popular home remedies for acne involve the use of natural herbal extracts, many of which traditional medicine practitioners have used for hundreds of years.

1. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, which means that it might kill P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne.
Tea tree oil's anti-inflammatory properties mean that it can also reduce the swelling and redness of pimples.
A 2015 review study looked at the existing evidence for tea tree oil and acne. The researchers found that tea tree oil products can reduce the number of acne sores in people with mild to moderate acne.
This study suggested that tea tree oil may work as well as 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, which is a common over-the-counter (OTC) acne medication.
How to use tea tree oil
People can apply tea tree extract to their acne in creams, gels, or essential oils. If people use essential oils, always dilute them in a carrier oil first.

2. Aloe vera

Aloe vera is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, meaning it may reduce the appearance of acne and prevent acne breakouts.
Aloe vera contains lots of water and is an excellent moisturizer, so it is especially suitable for people who get dry skin from other anti-acne products.
In a 2014 study, researchers gave people with mild to moderate acne aloe vera gel and tretinoin cream, which is a common OTC acne remedy, to use for 8 weeks.
How to use aloe vera gel
Try cleaning the acne sores and then applying a thin layer of cream or gel with at least 10 percent aloe vera content.

3. Honey

Honey has been used to treat skin conditions, such as acne, for thousands of years. It contains many antioxidant that can help to clear waste and debris from clogged pores.
Doctors use honey in wound dressings because of its antibacterial and wound-healing properties.
How to use honey
Using a clean finger or cotton pad, rub a little honey into pimples. Otherwise, add honey to a face or face mask.

4. Garlic

Many traditional medicine practitioners use garlic to treat infections and boost the body's ability to fight germs and infections.
Garlic contains organosulfur compounds, which have natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Organosulfur compounds can also help to boost the immune system, which helps the body fight infections.
How to use garlic
To fight the inflammation and infections caused by acne, people can add more garlic to their diet. Some people chew whole garlic cloves, rub it on toast, or make it into a hot drink.
Although  you should not apply garlic directly to pimples, this may cause further skin irritation. Garlic can burn the skin, so always use it carefully.

5. Green tea

Green tea contains high concentrations of a group of polyphenol antioxidants called catechins.
Most people with acne have too much sebum, or natural body oils, in their pores and not enough antioxidants.
Antioxidants help the body break down chemicals and waste products that can damage healthy cells. Green tea may help clear out some of the debris and waste that has built up in open acne sores.
Green tea also contains compounds that may help to:
  • - reduce the skin's sebum production
  • - reduce P. acnes
  • - reduce inflammation
How to use green tea
Green tea might help either when people drink it or use green tea extract on their skin, though researchers say that the current evidence is limited.
However, one study found a 79 and 89 percent reduction in whiteheads and blackheads after 8 weeks of using polyphenol green tea extract.

6. Coconut oil

Like other natural remedies, coconut oil contains anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds.
These properties mean that coconut oil may destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness and swelling of pimples. Coconut oil may also speed up healing in open acne sores.
How to use coconut oil
Try rubbing pure, virgin/pure coconut oil directly to the area with acne. 

Habits to be change for acne treatment.

Along with home remedies, specific lifestyle changes can have a powerful effect on keeping the body healthy, making the skin less oily, and reducing acne flare-ups.

1. Never touching pimples

It can be very tempting, but touching acne sores will irritate the skin, may make the pimple worse, and can spread pimples to other areas.
Touching, rubbing, squeezing, or popping acne sores can also introduce more bacteria into the lesion, causing further infections.
Squeezing a pimple can push bacteria and debris further into the skin, so the pimple may come back worse than it was before.
Talk with a doctor about large sores or those that are deep under the skin to find out how to remove them safely.

2. Choosing the right face wash

Many regular soaps have an acidity, or pH, that is too high and can irritate the skin, making acne worse.
Choose better face wash, rinses, and washes with a pH closer to the skin's natural pH of around 5.5 to reduce the risk of acne flare-ups and let sores heal.

3. Using oil-free skincare

Oil-based or greasy products can block pores, increasing the risk of them becoming clogged and forming acne sores.
Look for skin care products and cosmetics labeled as 'oil-free' or 'non-comedogenic,' which contain ingredients that allow pores to breathe.

4. Staying hydrated

Staying hydrated is extremely important because it makes it easier for acne sores to heal and reduces the overall risk of outbreaks.
When the skin is dry, it can easily become irritated or damaged, resulting in pimples. Being hydrated also ensures new skin cells develop correctly as sores heal.
There is no standard daily recommend water intake because each person's water needs are different, depending on age, how active they are, temperature, and any medical conditions.
Many health authorities recommend drinking between six and eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid daily.

5. Reducing stress

The American Academy of Dermatology lists stress as a possible cause of acne flare-ups.
Stress causes levels of the hormone androgen to increase. Androgen stimulates hair follicles and oil glands in pores, increasing the risk of acne.
Tips for managing stress include:
  • - talking to family, friends, a doctor, or other supportive people
  • - getting enough sleep
  • - eating a healthful, balanced diet and avoiding skipping meals
  • - exercising regularly
  • - limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption
  • - practicing deep breathing, yoga, mindfulness, or meditatio
