Some Funny Home Remedies People Try To Cure Acne, we implore you to use common sense before ever trying a so-called acne home remedy, they can easily cause very serious bacterial infections, inflammation and even life-long scarring.
While many home remedies for acne are clearly outrageous others are down right stupid and dangerous.
We have outlined a few oldies but goodies for not only your amusement but also your personal safety…
Every day people still attempt these home remedies for their acne woes in the futile hope that their skin condition will clear itself up like magic.
Unfortunately, none of these urban myths work but they can be downright painful.
One home acne remedy that people are always talking about is using real lemon juice.
Lemons are cut in half and rubbed on the affected area while squeezing the raw lemon directly on the pimple or acne flare up.
Now, remember lemons have an acidic PH and truthfully do nothing more than irritate and burn the acne and top layer of skin. If your unfortunate enough to have an acne lesions, which has been scratched or worse been, popped the lemon juice will prove very painful.
In some cases the lemon juice can cause a very serious infection to the acne lesions, which can result in massive inflammation and even infection that can earn you the nickname puss face, not a very attractive thought.
Another retard-ready acne home remedy includes using raw eggs. Not surprisingly, another failed acne remedy attempt that causes far more harm than good in the name of clearing up your acne.
With this attempt, a raw chicken egg is beaten in a bowl, then a cotton ball or clean cloth is dipped into beaten egg and wiped onto the affected acne flare-up.
Now the egg is allowed to dry. When its completely dry, warm water is used to rinse the dried egg off.
Shockingly process doesn’t work either; while some believe it dries the acne lesions up lets be clear about what it really does…
Raw egg is an organic protein that is filled with bacteria including salmonella, if you are unlucky enough to even have a microscopic entry point on a pimple to your blood stream you can be assured of developing a horrible bacterial infection, at which point you will realize your acne is the least of your problems, were hoping you don’t lose your eye…
We have saved the best for last, this dumbass of the year acne home remedy should honestly just seem wrong to anyone thats not named Cletus Jones…
So here’s the deal go to town on your face with a pin, needle, cheese grader or just get medieval on your face by poking and squeezing every last zit you have, no pain no gain right?
If you think your in pain right now give it 30 seconds,
Now the next step is grab a bottle of 100% rubbing alcohol and dip the cotton end of a q-tip into the solution. Now rub the rubbing alcohol deeply into every broken pimple and area of acne on your face.
Feel the burn baby….
Now it should come as no surprise this little gem of an idea would be incredibly painful, the thought behind actually doing this to yourself is that, it will sterilize the acne and the alcohol would dry out the lesion and allow it to heal…
Reality, breaking those acne lesions wide open will expose them to a world of bacteria and infection, pure alcohol will burn the living be-jesus out of your skin and probably lead to serious skin discoloration and some deep scars that will last you a lifetime.
Bottom line don’t be a acne fool, use common sense before you jump on board with any acne home remedy, if your not sure ask your doctor for advice first.
There are countless other equally moronic home acne remedies that could be mentioned and perhaps may just be at a future date.
However, in most cases they are not going to have much of a positive effect and will often do far more serious harm to both you and your skin.
Bottom-line most acne home remedies suck and will do the opposite of what you are actually trying to accomplish.
