If you have already gone through the remedies in part 1 then you will agree with me that the ones in this part are also as simple and quick, so if you didn’t find anything that will work for you don’t worry here are some more!

1. CUCUMBER

 

 

  • Cut cucumbers in small pieces and soak in water for 1 hour
  • Strain the water and use it to clean your face

OR

  • Make a paste by blending the cucumber pieces
  • Apply and leave on for 15-20 minutes
  • Wash off with like warm water

Cucumbers are very commonly used in the middle and eastern Asia for years as a skin cooling agent, it contains numerous vitamins such as A,C, E and minerals such as potassium which are good for the skin.

  • Wash off with luke warm water

OR

  • Mix some honey with cinnamon powder to make a thick paste
  • Let it stay in contact with the pimples over night

Honey is a strong disinfectant thus clearing the microbes that can be a cause of pimples on your skin.

5. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

vinegar

  • Dilute 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water
  • Wash your face, dry it then apply the mix on the affected area.
  • Leave it on for not more than 10 minutes if you have a sensitive skin or overnight if not.
  •  Wash it off with lukewarm water
  • Apply a moisturizer after since it can make your skin dry.

The vinegar kills microorganisms that may cause pimples, facilitates drainage of oils produced by the sebaceous glands by causing them to constrict and finally balances your skin pH making it hard for microbes to grow.

I hope you will find something that works for you but if not then worry not! there are more acne remedies still to explore so watch out for part 3!

All the best!
