How can your microwave and a bowl of lemons help you to achieve clear skin? Read on. There are several effective home remedies for acne. One of the best secret natural cures for acne is found in your refrigerator-- a bowl of lemons. How do lemons help to cure acne? The secret lies in understanding what causes acne. Acne is caused by bacteria trapped in skin pores. Once trapped, the bacteria inflames the pores, causing swelling, redness and sores. How does lemon juice help? Lemons are acidic. In fact, in the centuries before the discovery of penicillin, people used home remedies to sterilize, such as lemons and vinegar. Many of today's expensive acne remedies also use acid in some form or another to kill off acne-causing bacteria. A word of caution. Don't overdue it. Lemon is acidic, so it can cause redness in sensitive skin. Your best strategy is to try out lemon juice on a small area or pimple first, using a cotton tip. It ordinarily takes a few days to work. For best results, open the pores of your face first with a steam facial. If you can't get a steam facial at a spa, you can just steam open your pores as you take a relaxing bubble bath. Another tried and true home remedy for blemishes and breakouts is toothpaste. Apply a dab of toothpaste directly on the breakout. Leave it on for several hours. Rinse with warm water and a rough cloth with mild soap. Rinse again with warm water. Final rinse with cold water to close your pores. To control oily skin that promotes breakouts, try these tricks 1.Use a clay mask once a week. 2. Microwave Your Face Cloth. Yes, we said microwave. As we said before, acne is caused by bacteria. You introduce the bacteria by touching your face or picking at blemishes. One of the worst hidden sources of bacteria is your face cloth. Avoid using a face cloth more than 2 days in a row. If you must use it again , rinse it with warm water and microwave it for 2 minutes to kill the bacteria. Let it cool down before another use. 3. Cleanse our body of toxins. Do a body cleanse once a month to get rid of the toxins which, unfortunately, have become a part of our food supply (pesticides, preservatives, additives). Following these home tips, and eating a diet that supports your skin health, should help you to achieve blemish free skin in no time!
