My Acne Remedies

Create a paste by grinding sesame seeds with a little water. You can apply this paste to sites of inflamed acne, or really inflammation from any cause, such as allergies. It will reduce redness and swelling.

Each night before you go to bed take an entire ice cube and rub it on all affected areas until it melts. This reduces the swelling and inflammation that comes along with acne, and prepares these spots for your upcoming rest, which is when the body does most of its repair work. Also, because you are reducing the amount of stress that this swelling and possible rupturing would place on your skin, you reduce your risk of scarring. Add this to your acne treatment regimen and you won't be sorry.
