10 Home Remedies for Acne or Pimples

Aloe

From using aloe to treat sunburns, we know that aloe is soothing and can reduce redness. This also applies when it is used to treat acne or pimples. Aloe also has antibacterial properties to kill acne-causing bacteria. If you have access to an aloe plant, a bit of fresh natural aloe is the best form you can use for your skin. If not, you can purchase a gel from the store, just be sure it doesn't have too many extra additives. Apply the aloe directly to clean skin and let it dry.

Oatmeal

Another healthy food product that does wonders for skin is oatmeal. Oatmeal is loaded with vitamins that will calm and treat any blemishes, acne, or pimples. You can use a bit of steel cut oats as a weekly scrub, or create a oatmeal and honey mask. To make a mask, make a bowl of oatmeal as you would if you were going to eat it. Add a few tablespoons of honey and let cool. Once it is back down to a comfortable temperature, apply it to your skin. Leave it for about half an hour and rinse off.
