DIY Acne Spot Treatments
"Try these three time-tested, do-it-yourself solutions
and watch your blemishes vanish."
HONEY
The sweetest skin treatment of the bunch, honey has been used
medicinally for thousands of years, dating back to 2500 BC! Noted for
its strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, the amber nectar
is great at killing off infectious bacteria in and around zits. Dab a
pea-sized amount of raw, unprocessed, and unheated honey (available at
any health-food store) over your blemish and leave it on for 15 minutes.
Repeat this for a few days.
ASPIRIN
While aspirin is primarily taken internally, it’s also a topical acne powerhouse. Known scientifically as
acetylsalicylic acid,
aspirin’s chemical makeup is incredibly similar to the world’s most
popular pimple zapper: Salicylic acid. Topical aspirin works to reduce
the swelling and redness that come with a large pimple or cyst. Mash up
one uncoated aspirin with a couple of drops of water until you form a
thin, viscous paste. Apply the mixture to problem areas for five to 10
minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
TEA TREE OIL
Like honey, the oil extracted from tea tree leaves is known for its
incredible antibacterial properties. This powerful concentration helps
diminish inflammation and scarring, and is known for its heavy,
eucalyptus-like aroma. Since the oil is so potent, dilute pure tea tree
oil with Witch Hazel (mix 10% oil with 90% toner). Apply on pimples with
a cotton swab nightly.
