One easy home remedy for zits is to combine equal quantities of ground nut oil with lime juice to form a mask. Mix it together and spread it over any skin that shows blemishes. It will help heal them and stop pimples from resurfacing. Spending a moderate amount of time in the sun can reduce pimples breakouts. Bear in mind that your skin will get drier the more it’s bared to the sun. In the beginning, you may find your zits getting worse, because your body’s oils will penetrate to your skin’s surface. This should clear up within a couple of weeks and your dry skin should not break out as much.

Salicylic Acid TIP! One important method for protection against acne is not picking at your pimples. Popping your pimples will spread the bacteria even more, increasing blemishes.

Look for skin products that include salicylic acid if you are dealing with acne. Salicylic acid, along with other acids in the beta hydroxyl family, helps the skin by accelerating the rate at which dead skin cells are shed. If you have access to a pool, lake, river or beach, swim whenever you can. Swimming allows your body to relax and it provides you with exercise that can calm down your pimples. Chlorine can also soothe your body and reduce your breakouts. To reduce acne flare-ups, use only clean bed sheets, pillowcases, washcloths and towels. Change or wash these items often. Pimples causing bacteria likes to hide away in these types of items. Also, wearing the same clothing for long periods of time can cause bacteria to grow and bring out pimples. TIP! If you have acne, it is recommended that you only use natural cosmetics on your skin. Products with artificial chemical ingredients can cause skin irritation and make acne worse.

If you do a lot of exercise, it is important to make sure you wash your face frequently. Consider carrying a package of facial cleansing wipes for times that washing may be inconvenient. This way, you can wipe bacteria and dirt from your face without using a sink. However, you shouldn’t use the wipes in place of your daily cleanser, and if you do have to for some reason, return to your morning routine as soon as you can. If only a small area of your skin is affected by acne, try a spot treatment. That helps to keep the rest of the face from being over treated, which can dry it out. Look for treatments containing ingredients like sulfur, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. There are also many natural remedies that you can find online.
