Need to Win Your War with Pimples? Here Are 7 Home Remedies for You to Try

By: Patricia Wagner

Because our society tends to judge people by their looks, acne is not a minor problem for those who suffer with it. Because of this, if someone's looks have been destroyed by pimples, emotional problems come into play.

Because acne doesn't stay on the face only but also disfigures shoulders and backs, this causes additional embarrassment. If you feel as though pimples are making you ugly, that can make you very self-conscious.

Zits can come along at the worst of times and that can be really distressing. It's no surprise that acne sufferers are looking for speedy remedies for their zits. Acne sufferers want to look normal and have healthy skin once again.

Many people purchase over-the-counter acne remedies. It's frustrating when acne goes away for a while and then returns again. When only the symptoms are treated and the root cause of acne is ignored, that can be discouraging.

There are glowing reports of how well many over-the-counter acne products work and they do work for some people, but others wonder if they really work that well. Natural remedies offer other ways to help sufferers.

Some natural products can help clear up pimples quite well and here are some of them.

1. Lavender oil

This is an essential oil and it can be applied directly to the skin to not only prevent but to also get rid of zits.

2. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is actually an antibacterial agent and antifungal that has been used for many years. Its many uses include fighting bacteria that cause pimples and speeding up the healing process. You can place it on your zits to help fight them. However, it has a very strong smell to it.

3. Toothpaste

Some acne sufferers claim toothpaste placed on a pimple dries it up when left on overnight. It reduces the swelling for some. Those with extremely sensitive skin might not like this method since it can be irritating to delicate skin.

4. Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver is a natural antibacterial and it can be used to clear up acne for some people -- either applied directly or used as a supplement.

5. Lemon juice

Lemon juice can also be applied directly to acne pimples to help them clear up. It can be placed on acne scars as well to reduce the redness.

6. Baking soda

Make a paste with a little baking soda and rub it on your face to exfoliate your skin. You can rub it into the affected areas for about a minute before rinsing it off.

7. Hydrogen peroxide

Although it is extremely drying, hydrogen peroxide has helped a number of people to have clearer skin.
