Have you just squeezed an eye-irritating acne? Now that it's red and swelling, you are regretting and have no idea what to do? We all have been in situations like these. Thankfully, there are still ways to repair the damage done. The best part is, it is all natural ways and are part of the things we get in touch with daily.
I've personally found these methods very effective and suggest that you try it yourself too. Nonetheless, pre-testing some of the tips is advisable as our skins in general tend to vary from one another.
Note: Always start of steps on each tip with clean, washed skin and hands
Tip 1: Ice Cube Chill…
Ice cubes are not just great for cool drinks, but helps to promote blood circulation especially on bruises and newly-healed wounds. Good blood circulation will decrease the acne-swelling and redness.
- First, wrap an ice cube in a small plastic bag or small handkerchief
- Then apply it directly onto the newly squeezed acne
- Rub the ice cube on your acne on a circular-clockwise motion
- Continue to hold it for approximately 2-3 minutes
- Remove and rinse the acne area with normal tap water
- Repeat the process as often as necessary
Tip 2: Toothpaste Magic…
This is a well-known quick fix. Acnes caused by bacteria (not due to excess oil production or dead skin cells) work best with toothpaste. This is proofed since toothpaste cleans our teeth, by neutralizing acids formed by bacteria, to prevent tooth decay. It also help soothes irritation, redness and dries out pimples.
- First, take a normal white toothpaste with lowest amount of fluorides (it works best compare to whitening or mint ones)
- Squeeze small amount of toothpaste on your finger (enough to cover the acne spots)
- Make it into paste-like and dab on acne areas
- Leave on for 10-15 minutes (for sensitive skin), while normal skin you may leave it overnight when applied before going to bed
- Rinse and wash skin area as usual
Tip 3: Honey the Doctor…
Honey, one of the best natural acne fighting ingredients, has natural enzymes that are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It is also good with disinfecting and healing minor blemishes, which are vital to get our squeezed acne heal faster. Good for sensitive skin, but make what you get is pure honey.
- First, apply thin layer of honey on acne areas
- Leave on for approximately half an hour
- Rinse off with warm water
- Repeat process twice a week for maintenance of flawless skin
Tip 4: Lemon Wonders…
Lemon contains citric acid that is rich in vitamin C. It is essential to get rid of dead skin cells and promotes faster healing. Lemon juice also helps lighten red scars and its good for oily-prone skin since it helps maintain the pH balance of the skin.
- First, squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice into a small cup or bowl
- Use a cotton ball or folded cotton pad to soak some of the juice
- Dab on to your acne areas (it's normal to feel a tingling sensation)
- If it is too strong for you, try diluting with water
- Leave on for 10 minutes (for sensitive skin), 30 minutes (normal skin)
- Rinse off with tap water
- Repeat 3 times a week for about 2 weeks. An imminent result is expected
Tip 5: Aloe Vera Aid…
I personally loved this tip for frequent face mask! It is best to get the real Aloe Vera plant. Aloe Vera gel has ideal polysaccharide that accelerates healing and repairing damaged skin from the inner part.
- First, prepare to slice off the portion of the Aloe Vera leaf just before a bath
- Cut inner portion into smaller size (suited according to your needs), put it into small bowl
- After showering, apply the Aloe Vera gel all over your acne area (tingling sensation is expected)
- Leave it for 5-10 minutes
- Rinse it off with warm water and wipe your skin dry
- Repeat process every alternate days for best result
