Acne, which is a skin disorder most common in teenagers at
puberty when their hormones are starting to develop. Acne which
is often the blight of adolescence is known to follow some
people into adulthood.
Eating a healthy diet can be an acne cure for many people but
it is definitely a natural acne treatment for everyone. Home
remedies are among some of the best treatments for acne.
Prescription acne medication can scar if not used appropriately.
When it comes to wearing makeup the natural look is always
refreshing. Cosmetic products with sulfates, harsh red dyes,
heavy oils are hard on the skin blocking the pores and
contributing to an outbreak.
Cleansing creams with chlorides, oils and alcohol used to treat
acne can be damaging to the skin because they are sometimes too
harsh. It is very important to read the labels carefully before
purchasing these products to see just what you are using. Also
cleansing your face at least 3 times a day so there is minimal
opportunity for pore blockage is one of the best remedies for
keeping outbreaks to a minimum.
There are several natural home remedies for acne that you
either have in your own kitchen or you can get from the health
food store inexpensively. Just because these home remedies are
considered natural treatments for acne, does not mean that you
should be less cautious than you would be with prescription acne
medications or over-the-counter acne products.
You should always check with a doctor before undertaking any
home remedy. Some home remedies for acne turn out to be the best
treatments for acne in the end simply because they are not as
hard on the skin. Home remedies used to treat acne should not
only take care of any acne problems that you are having but also
moisten and rejuvenate your skin.
GARLIC: Garlic is one of natures strongest antibiotics and used
externally by cutting open a clove of garlic and rubbing it on
the problem area. People told me that it doesn't burn but it
did. What did work better for me was to crush the garlic clove
and mix it with half a cup of hot water in a pan. Soak a clean
wash cloth in the solution and then apply to the affected areas
only. This should within a few days unclog infected pores. It is
smelly and should be done before bed so you can wash it off the
next morning.
LEMON: There are several things that you can do with fresh
lemon. Slice a lemon in half and rub it on the effected area and
leave it over night and rinse your face in the morning or
squeeze the juice and mix it with rose water and apply to the
effected areas.
TEATREE OIL: Teatree oil usually costs about $9-$12 for an 8 to
12 oz bottle and it works wonders on the skin leaving a very
refreshing feeling behind because you can actually feel it
working by cleaning the pores of your skin. I recommend that you
dilute it with water first before attempting to use it at full
strength. The idea is to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin as
anything that leaves extreme discomfort is not good for your
skin.
CUCUMBER: This is one of the most gentle and refreshing
treatments that I have ever used and not only does it help treat
acne but also refreshes the skin and leaves your skin looking
and feeling younger. What you should do is blend the cucumber
into a paste and apply. You can leave it on the skin for 30 to
45 minutes and then wash it off.
ICE: One of the most simple and least expensive remedies of all
is good old fashioned ice that you make daily. You can use this
at any time and it will reduce any swelling that you have caused
by acne but should be used at the onset of a breakout.
There are so many home remedies that I could not even begin to
list them all and since everyone's skin is different you will
have to find remedies that work well for you. It is important to
know to be careful with your skin.
Many times out of aggravation we burst a pimple when a simple
remedy can be the best solution, and don't leave a scar like
poking at a pimple normally does. Your skin is an indication of
your health and when you have healthy skin then you are a more
confident person.
