3 Top Natural Acne Treatment Tips

Many acne sufferers don’t realize the how good some natural remedies can be. They only rely on chemical products to help treat their acne and hope that they can work to get rid of their problem skin. But just how good are these chemical products, and do they really work?

A lot of people say t hat they haven’t yet found any compelling reasons as to why acne sufferers depend on medications so much when there are a variety of alternate and natural remedies available for them. I always advise people not to waste money on things that are of no use or may harm their health, until they have gone down the natural route first.

If those alternative don’t work by all means try the chemicals and the drugs…

Of course, we all get frustrated when so called ‘cures’ don’t work, and it is individual choice as to how you treat your spots and pimples, but why not let nature take it’s course first, before turning to scientific and chemical solutions.

Treating Acne naturally

Acne can occur anywhere on the body, really, but is most common on the face, back, and chest. Facial acne is perhaps the most embarrassing of problems, as it becomes really difficult to cover it up. Exposed and on show, it becomes a real problems and source of embarrassment for many acne suffers.

Ok, let’s begin with the toughest thing that acne sufferers must ABSOLUTELY stop doing to avoid propagation of acne to other part of skin. Do not scratch or pick at your acne! I know it’s really very temping but this encourage the transfer of oils and dirt into the wounds you have scratched, and result to deeper acne lesions. This is how deep scars are formed.

Secondly, avoid using heavy make-up. Some acne sufferers always try to cover their acne lesions with make-up without knowing that this might be the cause of further breakouts. Most commercial make-up contained lots of oils and waxes which will naturally block the pores of your skin.

Thirdly, change your bedding, especially the pillow covers everyday. If you do not change them, residue of dirt, bacteria and germs left on your sheets every morning risk of being passed back onto your skin. And you already know what is going to happen… blocked pores!

Choosing natural acne treatment as a first option to get rid of your acne is always going to be the best way to go. In the end you have nothing to lose. It is very important to understand what your body needs to be in good health. Have you tried any of these yet?

Lemon juice extract, in other words, the  juice of a lemon. Mix it together with an equal amount of water and stir and apply the mixture on your face (or any other affected area) and leave it on for approximately 30 minutes. Then wash your face with fresh, lukewarm water. Do this once a day and after about two weeks you should see a significant improvement in your skin. Many of those who have tried lemon juice report excellent results. As an added benefit, lemon juice also reduces the colour of dark blemishes and scars, havinga lightening effect on the skin.

Aspirin. One of the ingredients in Aspirin is beta hydroxy acid. When mixed with water and placed on the skin this acid works as a strong exfoliant thus helping to unclog pores and clear blemishes. Use the Aspirin scrub once a week to get rid of pimples and acne pimple scars. Just be sure to rub very gently and don’t leave the mask on for more than about 15 minutes. Those who use it daily for long periods suggest adding honey to the mixture for a smoother look and a pleasing glow.
