This is a 10-step method of home treatment for acne. This is most effective if done right before your shower, but can be done at other times in the day too (i will explain later). I used it with OTC acne medicine, and the two worked very well.
First off, i said treatment, not cure there is no cure for acne that works 100% of the time on 100% of the patients. Don’t expect this to be a miracle which gives you a perfectly clear face. It won’t. But it will help reduce the size of your outbreaks once they have occured.
This treatment requires that you have the following:
1. Baking Soda (not powder)
2. Water
3. Vinegar
To the people that will say "baking soda and vinegar make bubbles retard"- Putting baking soda on a pimple draws out the infection from it, which will reduce the swelling and size, and prevent more from growing at the same time. The vinegar is there to 1. make sure all the baking soda is gone, and 2. feel good and refreshing.
Steps to do this:
1. Measure 1 teaspoon of baking soda
2. Dump into container
3. Measure 20 ml of water
4. Pour into container with baking soda
5. Mix with your fingers until "pasty". You may have to add more water or baking soda to make it how you like.
6. Apply to face in areas with pimples.
7. Let sit for 30 seconds.
8. Re-apply another layer on top of old one.
9. Let sit for 1 minute.
10. Dip your fingers in vinegar and wash off baking soda. After that either get in the shower or thoroughly wash your face off.
Theres my 10-Step method to reducing facial acne. Give it 3-7 days of treatment to show its full effects though.
Some very effective types of OTC acne medicine are:
Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%-5%)
and
Salicylic Acid
Note: These are the active ingredients, not the brand names.
