good skin - natural home remedies

Hi everyone!

I am 20 years old and have never had much acne in my life (Alhamdulilah) until recently. In my adolescent years I never got more than one pimple at a time.. maybe once every few months.. I feel like if I got through puberty without it, I should not be getting it now lol :stuck_out_tongue:

but as of late I’ve broken out all over my face.. even though I’ve changed nothing in my skin care routine.. I have a good diet, I don’t drink sodas or eat junk food.

I know there are a lot of people that struggle with adult acne.. do you guys have any natural home remedies that have worked for you? other than drinking plenty of water of course.

I have been trying a scrub of olive oil, honey, and sugar.. which has been making my skin pretty soft and hydrated.. but has done nothing for the acne..

any home remedies that help diminish acne scars? or just help skin look healthy in general?

thanks! :flower1:

Adult acne is generally worse than acne you get in your teens and the best thing to do would be to see your doctor who can prescribe some antibiotics. If it's really bad it's best to take control of the infection before it spreads because you don't want to have to deal with the marks later on. Remember acne is an infection linked to hormones so you need to address the root problem, not simply dealing with it when it appears. Best of luck.

actually I disagree.. medications and acne treatments contain all kinds of chemicals that sometimes just irritate your skin or make acne worse

mine is nothing severe, just few small pimples on the cheeks

its most likely due to stress.. I feel that natural is the way to go.. (just my opinion) :flower1:

Re: good skin - natural home remedies

instead of trying to seek out a pill for everything, why not use the natural things Allah has given us.. as many food have many different health benefits..

neem is good for acne.

Wrong. Acne medications do make a big difference, iv’e seen it myself. A cousin of mine never had any pimples, then when she hit 18 her face literally exploded. Slowly-one pimple at a time until the poor girl’s face was full. She started using natural remedies and it did nothing because acne is an INFECTION WITH THE HORMONES. She went to the doctor, had some strong antibiotics prescribed to her and now MA her face is amazingly gorgeous. Not one mark or pimple. It’s like she never had acne.

u can try tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar or rubbing a lemon peel on regular basis. add more water, fruits n fibres to ur diet. if u think its stress related control ur stress.
if nothing helps then try a wash or moisturizer with salicylic acid.
but i do agree with princess. if u keep waiting n experimenting with natural stuff the pimples keep getting worse. i've been thru it. natural remedies never worked for me.
