Acne is a nightmare for a few women. Acne occurs when the plugged hair follicle increases in size and comes out significantly becoming visible and evident. Sometimes the walls of the skin rupture which paves way for the entry of harmful substances and bacteria. This is a major cause of inflammation and skin irritation. There are a lot of factors that cause acne such as too much intake of spicy foods, side effects of medications, lack of exercise, stress and chemical ridden cosmetics.
However, there are a lot of natural ingredients which can help purify the skin from deep within without any side effects.
Ayurvedic natural solutions for acne are as follows:
Take 8-10 pieces of sultana currant (munakka) and immerse in 1 cup of water overnight. Have this in the morning along with the water. This process continuously done for a month removes pimples from the root and purifies the skin.
Make a fine paste of 1 tsp cinnamon powder and 3 tbsp of honey. Apply this on your pimples before you go to sleep and wash it in the morning with lukewarm water. If this is done every day for 15 days, it removes pimples from the roots. If the cinnamon feels strong, decrease the quantity.
Having water stored in a copper vessel cleanses the body and removes impurities and unwanted and poisonous substances. As per Ayurveda, having 2-3 glasses water that has been stored in a copper jar for 8 hours in the morning empty stomach balances all the three doshas in the body.
Apply a mixture of cucumber juice and tomato pulp and leave it on the affected area for 15 minutes before washing it off with water.
