Herbal tip for acne

Acne Treatments

Use baking soda. Mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply the paste onto acne individually, not over the entire face. Dip a Q-Tip into the baking soda mixture and apply that way.

  • Leave the baking soda paste on your face for about 10 minutes, or until dry.

  • Wash off with very cold water. It will help close the pores significantly.

  • Repeat at most two times a day. If your skin becomes irritated or excessively oily due to use, make sure to discontinue treatment.

    1.  Try using lemon juice as an acne remedy. Cut a lemon in half and gently rub the open-side of the lemon onto the acne. The stinging feeling means it's working. Lemons contain citric acid, which attacks the bacteria that cause acne.

    • Make sure to wipe/wash the lemon juice off, and use sunscreen afterwards. Citric acid can bleach the skin and puts it at significantly higher likelihood of sun damage.
