10 Natural ways to get rid of acne fast at home

Acne and pimples are two of the most boring and widespread skin curses in life. Most of us have been in a situation where an ugly red stain appeared the day before an important event or date. The question is: can you do something without having to indulge in expensive drugs? The answer is yes!

Let's start by understanding the formation of acne and find out what natural remedies we can try to clearly eliminate pimples.

How acne is formed

 ☻Inflammation caused by hormonal changes forms red spots on our skin.

Acne is usually found on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. This is because there are more sebaceous glands on the skin of these regions. The function of the sebaceous glands is to excrete an oily substance (sebum) in order to lubricate your skin to make it glow.

When your body produces excessive amounts of sebum and dead skin cells due to hormonal changes, both can block hair follicles and form a soft plug, a favorable environment for the development of bacteria. When clogged hair follicles become infected and cause inflammation, the wall of the follicle swells and forms a pimple.

 

Why you should not pop your pimples

 ☺Blowing pimples can lead to tissue loss, which ultimately leads to acne scars.

Pimpling seems to be the quickest way to remove red spots on our skin. But it can damage your skin permanently! When you squeeze a pimple, you force the oily substance and dead skin cells deeper into the follicle. The added pressure will cause the rupture of the follicle wall and the spilling of the infected material into the innermost part of our skin. This skin damage will cause tissue loss and eventually cause acne scars.

So, if popping pimples are not a good way to get rid of acne, what else can we do to regain our glowing skin? We have 10 natural remedies for you and you do not need to spend a lot of money and time to get the perfect effect. Here's how to get rid of acne.
