12 Jun Four food-based home remedies to help combat those acne gibes
Here are four recommended food-based home remedies to help combat those scars:
Egg-whites
According to researchers, the lysozyme enzyme in egg whites is about 20 times more active than natural skin lightener so by mixing two egg whites with just one teaspoon of honey and dabbing the mixture on pimples before bed, the rawness of acne scars can be reduced.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice can act as a potent disinfectant. Squeezing some lemons and applying it gently with cotton to your face is a less-painful and more-effective treatment than it sounds.
Oats & honey
More a delicious breakfast than a scar-fighting remedy but there have been over 100 studies that suggest oatmeal can help relieve inflammation in the skin. Cooking a little oatmeal and mixing it with some honey helps make an active acne-combatting face-mask.
Tomato
Tomatoes have key ingredients that can impact acne such as the antioxidant lycopene so if you already have a red, acne-affected face or body, massaging the juice into the skin before rinsing it off with warm water could be a useful way to reduce inflammation.
