4. Baking Soda
Another great cure for cystic acne is baking soda. This is because it kills germs and brings down swelling.
Baking soda can pull extra oil out of blocked pores and clean away dead skin cells. It also evens out the acid level of your skin, leaving it healthy and glowing.
Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with enough cucumber juice to make a thin paste. If you do not have cucumber juice, you can use plain water.
Put it on the hurt area.
Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wash it off with warm water.
Do this one or two times a week.
Note: Make sure to moisturize your skin after using baking soda.
