Dry Out Acne

Desperate time’s calls for desperate measures and same can be said about drying out your acne. It is the common practice of people who are suffering from acne. People try to dry out their acne when they are really desperate to get rid of it. It’s not like that it doesn’t work, because it does. But going to such measure just doesn’t seem right in any case. There are many ways of drying out the acne and some of them are discussed below.
A Non-Gel tooth paste is used quiet often to dry the excess oil underneath the follicle. A small dab should be applied on the area before you go to sleep at night. Wash it in the morning and you will feel the difference. The toothpaste acts as a sponge to suck out all the oil in the affected area and the oil trapped in the pores.
Baking soda is another way of drying out acne. Make a paste by mixing the baking soda with water and rub it gently. Let it dry and keep it applied for 15 minutes, after that wash it warm water. Do this several times a week. This will help the skin to remain clear whilst supporting the natural radiance of the skin.
Alcohol is another way to dry out the acne. Apply it in the same way as the baking soda mixture. You will feel the reduction in acne just in a matter of minutes.
Always apply a mild moisturizer after trying anything mentioned above. The above mentioned tips can leave your skin too dry and this will trigger the production of more sebum oil to moisturize the skin. So it will be good for your skin if you apply a mild moisturizer.
Drying out your acne is not the only way to deal with acne. So keep in mind the effects of such method and use it as a last resort. These tips are beneficial but only when used effectively and with proper precaution.
