Home acne medication
Acne is a skin condition that causes spots. The best way to get rid of acne is by prescription acne medication.
But if you don’t like med’s you can try one of these home remedies:
Tea Tree Oil
The use of tea tree oil in treating acne has always been rather popular. Tea tree oil contains terpinen-4-ol which makes it a good anti-bacterial agent. Applied on your skin, specifically on the lesions caused by acne, tea tree oil can kill the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes.
Salicylic Acid
This is the active ingredient in aspirin and part of the reason this simple compound is sometimes called a miracle drug. It has many uses and is safe and effective, used properly.
Alcohol and Acetone
Both of these common chemicals are safe, but are generally much less effective than more modern acne home treatments. Alcohol is a mild antibacterial and helps remove oil from the surface. Similarly, acetone is a degreasing agent and helps keep the surface clear. But the excess oil (sebum) that contributes to acne lies well under surface where it lends a growth medium for bacteria and helps clog pores. Removing surface oil is of limited benefit.
Honey
Another acne home remedy with anti-bacterial properties is honey. Honey is most commonly used for the treatment of colds, but few people know that it may also be used to treat acne. All you need to do is to apply a film of honey on your face, let it settle and then rinse it off thoroughly. You only have to do this once or twice a week. Honey is an all-natural acne remedy, so you will not have to worry about irritation.
