How to Clear Acne Fast - 5 of the Best Homemade Remedies!

Want to clear acne fast? Here are five homemade acne remedies that work as well as many medications. They are cheap, effective, and side effects free.

Home remedy #1. Try a milk mask.

The ancient Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was famous for bathing her beautiful skin in milk. The reason her milk baths worked is that milk contains lactic acid, a gentle peel that lifts and separates dead skin that blocks pores. Simply pat a little warm milk on your face and lie down for 30 minute, allowing it to dry. Wash off with warm water, patting your skin dry. Your milk mask will remove some whiteheads and stop others from forming.

Home remedy #2. Try a milk of magnesia mask.

There is no more potent source of nutrient magnesium around the house than milk of magnesia. Taking a scant teaspoon (about 3 ml) of milk of magnesia every day is not enough to cause any change in regularity, but more than enough to provide nutrient magnesium for your skin. You can also paint your face with milk of magnesia, lying down to let it dry for 30 minutes, and then washing off with warm water and patting your skin dry. The milk of magnesia mask will lift excess oils off your skin and help keep pores open.

Home remedy #3. Use honey as an antiseptic.

Honey is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. Cosmetic surgeons are experimenting with honey as a way of keeping sutures bacteria-free after face lifts. Try dabbing a little honey on reddened pimples and leaving it on the skin overnight. You should see a reduction in redness and size of the pimple.

Home remedy #4. Humidify.

Anything you can do that increases the humidity in the air also reduces drying and tightening of acne-prone skin. Sometimes just turning down the heat in winter is enough to restore humidity to the air, or you can use a vaporizer even if you don't have a cold. Especially if you live in a very dry climate, humidifying can help prevent acne outbreaks.

Home remedy #5. Wash with soap and water.

Would you believe that soap and water actually are enough for some cases of acne? Just be sure that you don't use soaps that contain fragrances, like Irish Spring, or soap with abrasive ingredients, like Lava. Ivory is better for dryer skin and oily skin responds better to Dove.
