Acne Home Treatments: Simple and Effective Solutions in Your Battle Against Blemishes

Looking for quick and easy acne home treatments?

Not only can they be less expensive than over-the-counter products, but some find them to be more effective. In addition, they're more eco-friendly -- you're saving both your skin and the environment from harsh chemicals.

Below are some fast and simple ideas for dealing with those nasty breakouts.

Many of these acne home treatments come from items in almost any medicine cabinet:

• Toothpaste. Many swear that toothpaste (not the gel kind) will take care of ugly pimples overnight. Some do find it irritating, so before you dab any on your zit, try it on a small area first.
• Eye Drops. Eye drops designed to remove redness can work on your skin, as well. It won't make the pimple go away, but can make it look better.
• Aspirin paste. Add a few drops of water to a crushed aspirin and dab it on your zit. When dry, rinse it off.
• Anti-bacterial Creams. Anti-bacterial creams that kill germs and make cuts heal faster can do the same for a nasty blemish.
• Rubbing alcohol. Use a cotton ball to swab rubbing alcohol over your face after cleansing. Much care should be taken because alcohol can over-dry your skin and kill off 'good' bacteria. Some find it especially effective when they feel a pimple coming on.
• Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. Use as a mask for 10 - 15 minutes before rinsing.

These acne home treatments are made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen:

• Honey. Honey also helps eliminate bacteria. You can use it as a spot treatment or a mask. You can also try mixing honey with an apple grated into a fine pulp.
• Baking soda paste. Make a paste using one part baking soda powder to two parts water. Put the baking soda acne directly on the pimple and massage gently for a few seconds. When dry, rinse it off.
• White Potatoes. Hold a slice on your pimple for several minutes to reduce redness and inflammation.
• Garlic. It won't make you the life of the party, but rubbing garlic on your acne can reduce swelling and fight harmful bacteria.
• Salt and Vinegar. Mixing a little salt with some white vinegar can help resolve your acne. Leave it on your face for about 30 minutes before rinsing. Keep in mind though, that vinegar, like alcohol, can have a drying effect.
• Cucumber. Make a cucumber paste to use as a mask.

These acne home treatments take a little more time to prepare, but you may find it worth the effort:

• Oatmeal. Cook some regular oatmeal and apply it as a mask (after it's cooled, of course). Let it dry then rinse. Oatmeal helps absorb oiliness and unclog pores.
• Egg white, witch hazel, and lemon juice. Mix a few drops of witch hazel and a few drops of lemon juice with a beaten egg white. Apply to your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing.

When rinsing acne home treatments off your face, remember to use warm water (not hot) and dry your face by gently patting it with a soft towel. You don't want to aggravate your skin and make your acne worse by being overly aggressive.
