Is acne crippling your social life? Is it causing you to feel less than confident and a lot more insecure? Whether you are a teenage high schooler or a thirty-something company manager, acne doesn't discriminate on whom strikes.
In fact, more than 80% of acne sufferers are aged 15 to 44 years old.
It's nice to know that you're not alone in this, but what if you have a special engagement coming up soon and you need to know how to get rid of a zit fast? First, take a deep breath.
I'm going to give you two easy remedies that will relieve zit redness and inflammation safely and quickly.
Tea Tree Oil as an Antibacterial Did you know that benzoyl peroxide, commonly found in most commercial acne solutions, can have nasty side effects? You can get better results, while avoiding unwanted side effects, and saving some money in the process, with tea tree oil.
This little Australian gem is a natural antibacterial that can reduce breakouts and help you get rid of a zit fast.
Your local bath and body shop should have tea tree oil lotion that has about a 5% concentration.
Or you can mix a very small amount of tea tree oil with aloe vera gel and apply the mixture to your zit several times per day until the redness and irritation clears.
Lemon Juice as an Astringent Lemon juice is a great natural remedy for overnight relief of zit irritation.
Try putting a slice of lemon over the zit for a few minutes during the day until the redness and inflammation is reduced.
