Home Remedy for Ingrown Hair:
DO NOT try to scrap the surface of the bump with your razor. Infection is most likely brewing below the surface and you could spread the infection.
DO NOT try to jerk out the embedded hair. Again, that swelling on the bump indicates that infection is brewing.
Make a paste (poultice) with clay and a few drops of eucalyptus oil to “draw out” and disinfect the fluid that has accumulated to trap and contain the infection. Apply at night and cover with a sterilized band-aid.
The next morning, shower in a warm shower and gently wash off the clay. Do not scrub the bump. Be gentle.
Apply a tiny amount of eucalyptus oil (dilute with almond oil, or plain canola oil if necessary) to the bump and let air-dry.
After about three nightly clay applications, the tiny hair will emerge from the bump and some pus may be seen as it is drawn out of the hair follicle.
Within a day or two, you will notice that the pain (caused by pressure of the plugged hair follicle) will greatly diminish and that most of the apparent redness has disappeared.
If the bump continues to not to respond to being “drawn out” or purged by the clay , then apply propolis liquid extract, or colloidal silver to the bump to aggressively drive down infection, which is causing the swelling.
Home Remedies for Pimples
Toothpaste is just not for healthy white teeth anymore. Toothpaste can also be used to treat your pimples and serves as a very good home remedy for pimples. Toothpaste comes in paste and gel forms, for best results use the paste form. Simply apply toothpaste on your pimple(s), preferably before you go to bed, so it can dry out and sink into your pores.
Egg Whites Home Remedy for Pimples
Egg whites are not only for the health nuts, but also for the people who hate pimples and want to get rid of them. Applying egg white on a pimple for at least 20 minutes is supposed to absorb all of the “dirty” agents out of the skin to have you pimple free in no time.
Honey is so sweet, and sweet enough to have your face looking fresh because of its fighting power to kill harmful bacteria that causes pimples.
A raw potato peel will do the trick for reducing your pimples. Take a raw potato peel and grate it so that you are just left with the peel, than rub the peel throughout your entire face to reduce pimple scars and deplete blemishes on the skin.
Another great alternative to getting rid of pimples using natural home remedies is to apply fresh lime juice that is mixed with a glass of boiled milk and use as a face wash
