Effective Natural Acne Remedy Cures

By Peter Skonctue


Finding the right acne medication can be hard, almost as hard as living with acne. But have you considered trying a natural acne remedy? There are many benefits to going for green, natural, or homeopathic remedies, for your body as well as the environment.

Though we are often told that acne is no big deal, many people feel embarrassed or even humiliated by the acne that they might have. Acne is an issue that is triggered by hormonal changes in the body, and though teenagers are the most common demographic to have it, it is also common for pregnant women and women going through menopause to suffer from it as well.

For those who suffer from acne, have you ever considered using a natural acne remedy? Natural acne remedies have been around for centuries, and there are so many of them that is's very likely there's one that may work for you.

When you are looking for a natural acne remedy, think about washing your face less! The truth of the matter is that when you wash your face too much, you are making your skin feel raw and abraded as well as drying it out.

Your skin will respond to this through producing more oil and this can be very bad for your acne. Some people find that they can stop using soap on their faces at all and that their acne improves a great deal, while others simply use a very light kind of soap.

Another natural acne remedy is tea tree oil, which is available on its own or as a major ingredient in soap or cleansers. Tea tree oil will clean an area and also act as an antibacterial agent on your skin. This can make sure that the acne that you have will not grow further inflamed and become more difficult or more widespread.

Another benefit of using tea tree oil, is that it helps your skin not to itch as it heals, which makes it much easier to stop scratching at your face. A word of caution, though: Undiluted tea tree oil can be quite harsh, so be sure to dilute it or apply it with care.

Garlic is another good natural acne remedy. It has antibacterial properties and it is known as a great cure all in many different situations. One way to receive the benefits of garlic is to eat it raw, but if you find that the taste is too strong, you might want to simply mash a peeled clove into a paste and then apply it to the affected areas.

There may be a sting, depending on the sensitivity of your skin, but it should be mild. Let the poultice sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

Finding the right natural acne remedy for you can take a great deal of trial and effort, but there are so many of them to try. It can be daunting, when you see how many options there are, out there, but be proactive!

You won't know if one or more of them is going to work for you and your particular skin type and acne outbreak if you don't go out there and try them! Keep track of what you have tried, along with what works, how well it worked, and what didn't.

Consider how you are going to get clear skin at last and remember that natural remedies are a great choice!
