Natural Ingredients That Can Help Acne Treatment

The orange would be ok I guess, it’s an acid and skin is slightly on the acidic side so it wouldn’t destroy this balance. I haven’t used orange before but I’ve used lemon, lemon is good cause it’s also antibacterial. I’d prefer it to orange, it would be less sticky as well I would think.

I wouldn’t use salt.

Don’t really think cinnamon would have much benefit for acne.

Honey can be really great for acne, the best kind you can get for that is Manuka honey, you can get it it in health food stores. I would use this as a mask on it’s own.

I wouldn’t use baking soda as a mask. But it is really good as an exfoliator, mix it will a little bit of water to make it into a smooth paste. This is the most gentle scrub you can use. Don’t rub over pimples though, this will just irritate and inflame them some more. Then follow with a toner of apple cider vinegar and water solution to neutralize the alkaline effect of the baking soda. Mix with a ratio of 1 part ACV to 8 parts water to start with. See how your skin can handle it then you can gradually increase the strength of the apple cider vinegar. Wash off after 10 mins.

Some also use the apple cider vinegar as a spot treatment. Tea tree oil is also a good spot treatment, mix with an oil like jojoba to weaken it, as tea tree is very strong.

A really good mask you can do is the turmeric mask. Turmeric is a spice used in Indian and asian cooking. It comes from a root that has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. It’s best to get the fresh root from an indian or asian grocer (it looks a bit like ginger root) If you can’t find this then get the powder from the supermarket. Mix it with a very little bit of yoghurt, a squirt of lemon juice and some organic unprocessed honey. Apply this to your face and leave on till it dries. Then wash off.

I must warn you turmeric can have a dyeing effect on the skin. It can make it a bit yellow, so I would advise you do this at night time where you don’t have anything to do the next day just as a precaution, though when I did this mask i was easily able to wash the yellow off using a my face wash, and a bit of jojoba oil on a cotton ball. This is a really great mask fro acne.
