A blemish is any type of mark, spot, discoloration, or flaw that appears on the skin. Here are the common symptoms for face blemishes to look for – uneven skin tone, skin discoloration, itching or skin irritation. Blemished appear as brown or reddish patches on the skin that can cause the skin to get inflamed. In severe cases, blemishes can also dry out the skin. These are a lot of best natural products for blemishes in India. And in this post, I’ll be sharing a mix of creams, serums, oils, face washes and more that can help to reduce the intensity of blemishes.
How to get rid of blemishes?
One of the most important things to do to get rid of blemishes is to follow proper day-to-day skin care routine. Ensure that you cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin twice everyday, in the morning and at night. What is also important is to follow a skin care regime according to your skin type to reduce blemishes. You may be using the best natural products for blemishes, but if you do not follow a routine properly, it is not going tp work for you.
Everyday tips to prevent blemishes
Yes, you have chosen the best natural products for blemishes, but what next? Is it advisable to use just those to get your skin fixed? Well, apart from using the natural products for blemishes, here are some tips for day-to-day skin care to prevent blemishes.
- Opt for gentle and chemical-free products for your skin. Since your skin absorbs close to 60% of what you apply, it is the best choice to opt for chemical free products. Products with natural and organic ingredients will not strip your skin off its natural oils and thus keep it moisturized naturally. Using natural products for blemishes is always a good option.
- Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face and clean with normal to tepid water, Pat your skin completely dry before applying daily care cosmetics to your skin in the morning and at night.
- Opt for a gentle scrub to exfoliate your skin that can help to buff away dead skin. A scrub should be used not more than twice a week. Using it often can damage your skin.
- Opt for a face-mask. Ingredients like turmeric, activated charcoal, honey, aloe vera etc will help to fade the blemishes. Some face masks that I can recommend are from Mamaearth, the pure aloe vera mask from Juicy Chemistry, the Nagarmotha skin mask from Omved Therapies and the Krya face masks are some brilliant options.
- Peel-off face masks are considered to be the best ones for blemished skin. A peel-off mask will also add that extra glow to your skin.I have shared some DIY remedies as well in this post.
- Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. Well hydrated skin gets far less blemishes.
- Eat a balanced diet: Have lots of fruits and vegetables to get their anti-oxidant power. Antioxidants found in dark fruits and vegetables combat free radicals effectively to help you get rid of blemishes and other skin problems.
- Use a natural sunscreen: Whether you are stepping out or even at home. Using a mild sunscreen all around the year will help to keep your skin nourished.
- Use lemon juice: Lemon juice is known for its natural bleaching properties. It can dramatically reduce your dark spots and blemishes due to hyper pigmentation. Citric acid present in lemon juice also exfoliates your skin to help get rid of oil build-up. This prevents acne, another major reason for blemishes.
Simple DIY home remedies to prevent blemishes
I have always resorted to DIY home remedies to prevent blemishes before I moved in to buying specific products. The good thing about a DIY recipe is that you know what goes in it and you can do your own research to select what ingredients work for you.
Apple Cider Vinegar Face Mist For Blemishes
To make the mist
- 1 part apple cider vinegar
- 8 parts water (use filtered water)
- A few drops of tea tree essential oil (this helps in oil control, omit if you have dry skin)
- A few drops of lavender essential oil (this helps to soothe and calm the skin)
- Spray bottle
What You Have To Do
- Make a mix of the vinegar and water.
- Add the essential oils.
- Store the solution in the spray bottle and shake well.
- Spritz your face with this and let it dry naturally.
Aloe Vera Gel Massage
What You Have To Do
- Take a scoop of aloe vera gel. I recommend using the aloe vera gels from Mamaearth, Daughter Earth or Soap Square. I have used these aloe gels and would totally recommend it.
- Massage the aloe vera gel for 3- 5 minutes in upward strokes from the neck to the forehead.
- Leave it on for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Wipe off with damp towel soaked in warm water.
Honey For Blemishes
What You Have To Do
- Apply a layer of honey on the blemishes and keep it on for about 15 minutes.
- Wash it off with normal water.

Whether you use it to cleanse your face, a spot treatment or a leave -in moisturizer, these products help to control your blemishes. With regular usage, you will see the blemishes fade away. Depending on the intensity of the blemishes and how long they have been on your skin, you will get varied results from these products. You can also opt for natural and chemical-free products to reduce blemishes. I am listing some natural and organic products to reduce blemishes.

This highly effective formula is a spot-fighting superhero. Our facial oil is loaded with acne-fighting and skin-healing ingredients like Australian Sandalwood, Tea Tree, Neem and Frankincense. Hemp seed oil helps to regulate sebum production because of its astringent properties. This potent elixir penetrates deep into the skin, targets acne infection at its root and promotes skin rejuvenation. Sacha Inchi minimizes acne-scars and doesn’t strip moisture from the skin.

Suganda Spot-Treatment Oil
A concentrated blend of Tea Tree and Lavender essential oils that diminishes the appearance of pimples, while Hemp & Blackseed oils keep the top layer of skin healthy. Unlike most drying pimple solutions, this serum does not strip the skin of its oil, and does not leave pimples flaky while healing. Used often, our natural oil will act on blemishes even before they come to the surface fully, often preventing them from surfacing at all. Suganda Spot Treatment Oil has a very pleasant, lemony scent making it a pleasure to use. I have added this product to the list because I’ve read rave reviews. I haven’t tried this product.
To use : As Spot Treatment – Apply one drop to blemishes 3-4 times a day.

It helps in skin brightening, getting a lighter and even tone, for spot reduction, tan removal, blackhead removal and imparts a young, vivacious and glowing skin.

Soap Square Lavender Face Mist
There has never been a doubt that lavender is one of the most soothing ingredients for skin. Whether you use it for a massage or unwind in aromatherapy, lavender comes with loads of benefits. Lavender’s anti- inflammatory properties are good for reducing inflammation and redness. It helps in tightening sagging skin and smoothing out fine lines. Regular usage of lavender helps to also even your skin tone.

In my opinion, the babycare brand Maaté has the best baby shampoo in India. The Baby Hair Cleanser has natural and healthy ingredients like Fenugreek and Lavender, which gently cleanse the baby’s scalp and keep the hair soft and shiny.

Ohh I am surprised to see that SKÖG is not on the list above. Ever since I started using their Clarifying brightening serum for blemishes on my face, my skin has become clear, and I also feel that my skin is starting to look healthy, Also I know many people who are using it and happy with it. Also as I hear very much about Daughter Earth rejuvenating serum, I want to know about anyone’s personal experience who has used it yet? is there anyone who has personal experience with Daughter Earth rejuvenating serum, kindly share we’re excited.
Pratibha says
Akanksha,
thanks for stopping by! Adding this brand SKOG to my must-try’s. Now I just have to wait for them to open the borders so that when my better half travels, he can pick some products for me to try from Sweden! You must try Rituals too, their cleansing balm is out of the world!
The products mentioned are what I have tried and have worked for me. I am on my 5th bottle of the Daughter Earth’s Rejuvenating Serum (PM routine) and the second one from Juicy Chemistry (AM routine). Both of these brands have exceptionally brilliant products and I believe completely in their quality and ethos!
