| Are There Any Home Remedies for Acne? Yes, there are home remedies for acne. One of the best secret natural cures for acne is found in your refrigertor--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, casuing 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. |
