The one nice thing about acne is that there are several completely natural things that you can do to clear up and even prevent it. Before you continue reading you should be aware that some of the natural cures might sound a little strange. Just remember that people have been using them for hundreds of years. I figure that if they were good enough for a bunch of ancient monarchs than they are probably good enough for me.
Oatmeal
You probably already know that bathing in an oatmeal bath is an excellent way to get relief from hives, rashes, and chicken pox. What you might not know is that oatmeal is also an excellent way to treat an acne outbreak. All you have to do is cook your oatmeal just like you do when you are eating it for breakfast (although you should skip the brown sugar and melted butter). When the oatmeal has cooled rub it all over your face. Leave the oatmeal on for ten or fifteen minutes. After you wash the oatmeal from your face you will notice that your skin feels softer and has a nice healthy glow. In addition to making your skin look healthy the oatmeal has also wicked the dirt, grime, and excess oils from your face. People who use an oatmeal mask several times a week are significantly less likely to break out in pimples than someone who merely washes their face.
White Vinegar
Vinegar is an excellent astringent. In the morning all you have to do is pour a little bit of white vinegar on a cotton ball and use it to dab at your face. If you don't like the smell of vinegar on your skin, witch hazel will work just as well.
Toothpaste
Although you shouldn't use it to cover your entire face with it, dabbing a little bit of toothpaste on a pimple is an excellent way to reduce the redness right away. You should only use this in an infected area because the toothpaste will dry out your skin.
Avocado and Garlic
The next time you are at the grocery store you might want to consider picking up a fresh avocado and some garlic cloves. You will want to mash up the avocado and add a little bit of water until you have created a thick paste. Rub the paste all over your face and allow it to sit for several minutes. When it has dried, wash it off. Store the remaining paste in your refrigerator.
For a great overnight acne remedy you should cut your garlic cloves into quarters, and rub the exposed part over your patches of acne. Allow the garlic to sit on your pimples overnight.
