Tea tree oil against pimples
Tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves as well as from the branches of the Australian tea tree. For a long time, simple tea tree oil has been considered an effective household remedy for treating pimples. Meanwhile, the active ingredient can already be found in a variety of expensive facial cleansing products.
However, especially the cheaper, pure tea tree oil can achieve much better results in most cases. The extraordinary effectiveness of tea tree oil is based on the anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties of the active ingredient. Furthermore, it can be proven that Tea Tree Oil is able to fight acne bacteria.
The correct application of the household remedy “tea tree oil” is quite simple. In order to fight light skin impurities, pimples or acne efficiently, the user puts a mixture of tea tree oil and some tap water on a absorbent cotton pad and carefully dabs the affected skin areas. To avoid undesired skin reactions, a small area of the forearm should be coated with tea tree oil before applying to the face.
If redness or similar skin changes occur at this test area, we strongly advise against using the product on the face. Zinc ointment has also become one of the best-known household remedies against skin impurities, pimples and acne. A further advantage of zinc ointment is the fact that it is easy to obtain in any drugstore or pharmacy.
The effectiveness of zinc-based skin creams is based on the fact that they dry out the skin and pimples and eliminate pus-filled pustules. For this reason, however, zinc ointment should never be applied to large areas of skin. To treat skin blemishes, pimples and acne, the user should apply the household remedy on a cotton swab and then carefully dab the affected areas.
The disadvantage of the zinc ointment is that it is very poorly absorbed by the skin. Therefore, experts advise to apply the ointment before going to bed. Pure chamomile as well as chamomile tea is considered an efficient household remedy against acne and pimples due to its disinfecting properties.
In the treatment of pimples, chamomile tea can be used in various ways.Especially the use of steam baths containing chamomile is considered a miracle cure for severe skin impurities. Furthermore, individual spots can be treated quite easily by dabbing them with camomile extract. Alternatively, a washcloth can be soaked in chamomile tea and then placed on the face.
In addition to its effectiveness in the treatment of pimples and acne, this method has a refreshing and soothing effect. Apple vinegar is not only suitable as a household remedy against skin impurities, pimples and acne. Many inflammatory processes in the area of the skin can be treated effectively and easily by using apple vinegar.
The basis of the effectiveness of apple vinegar is its strong antibacterial effect. People who suffer from pimples can simply apply a little apple vinegar to a small cotton ball or cotton swab and dab the affected skin areas with it afterwards. In connection with the treatment of pimples, however, it should be noted that apple vinegar is only effective for people who have a quickly greasy skin.
People with dry skin should rather use another household remedy. Furthermore, many patients swear by the use of apple vinegar as an additive in a steam bath. The best effectiveness is achieved by adding about 2 liters of tap water to 15 tablespoons of apple vinegar.
Healing earth has also proven itself in the targeted treatment of skin impurities and pimples. In addition, healing earth also has a soothing effect on completely pimple-free facial skin. Even in ancient times, people used healing earth-based face masks to stimulate the blood circulation and cleanse the skin.
Healing earth can be pre-mixed as well as purchased as a dry product to mix yourself. Before use, healing earth should be mixed with tap water until a viscous mass is formed. Afterwards, the mass can be applied as a mask on the facial skin and the décolleté.
In order to achieve the best possible effect, the face mask should be washed off only after a reaction time of about 10 to 15 minutes. As an indication of the correct application time for the product used, the user can assume that an effective effect can only be achieved after the mass is completely dry. In addition to its antibacterial effect, the healing clay spread on the facial skin is also able to absorb excess oil. Healing earth is particularly impressive because of its particularly skin-friendly properties and can also be used by allergy sufferers without hesitation. With regular use, the facial skin appears more even and pimples are much less likely to develop.
