It is estimated that between 40 and 50 million Americans suffer from acne. The American Academy of Dermatology says excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation are all factors that lead to acne. If you are looking for tips on how to prevent pimples, you may find following tips quite helpful: 1. One of the main home remedies for treating acne is to apply honey on the affected areas. Massage honey on your face in circular motions and wash it off with warm water. For quick relief from pimples, leave it overnight and wash it off in the morning. 2. APPLY A NATURAL SCRUB. Combine 3 Tbsp. of baking soda with 3 tsp. of water, and spread it over your wet chest skin. Use your fingers to massage the baking soda mixture around your chest. After 2 minutes, rinse off your chest with water. 3. Some home remedies involve making pastes from toothpaste or spices and applying them directly on your face. Other natural remedies for acne use essential oils to help get rid of oily skin and acne pustules. 4. Wash your face at least twice a day (first time in morning and second before moving to bed). Wash more often in summers to prevent oils from getting accumulated and keep face clean. Remember to splash warm water before applying soap as that opens the pores in skin allowing deep penetration of skin by soap. People with oily skin must use water-based soap. Don't use body soaps on face as that may clog pores causing acne pimples. Soap must be rinsed off using cold water so that pores are closed. 5. Vinegar is also an effective remedy for treating pimples. Applying white or distilled vinegar and leaving it for about 10 minutes has proved to be an effective method for getting rid of bacteria and treating breakouts. Before applying vinegar, dilute it with a little amount of water. 6. Tone - People generally do not give toning any importance and it is often left out. Do tone your skin after cleansing as it clears face of any leftover cleanser. If residue is left on face, that clogs the pores resulting in acne. Toner can be easily applied by soaking a cotton ball in it and running over face. 7. Put little moisturizer on hands and apply on face till it gets absorbed. People with oily skin must use an oil-free and light moisturizer. People with dry skin must use extra moisturizing creams. Author is an online medical researcher on acne treatment and skin care.
