How To Clear Acne: Natural Remedies


Treating acne is not such an easy task, especially since most of the products that are sold in pharmacies contain chemicals that can irritate the skin instead of healing it.

If you try to read what the labels on those treatments say, you will be surprised to see how little is available to your understanding. You are no chemist to know if those substances are good or bad for your skin. In the end, you will spend a lot of money on treatments that will not do you any good, while you can appeal to home made remedies with a higher chance of working and no spending, whatsoever.

One natural remedy that you can find in your kitchen is baking soda. You can use this as a scrub to remove old skin and let the new skin shine from beneath. Mix some baking soda with a little water then massage your face gently with the mixture for ten or fifteen seconds. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and dry the face with a towel.

Vinegar is another good solution to remedy acne naturally. Whether you use apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar, this substance will help you eliminate acne from your face.You must mix one part of vinegar with eight parts of water and then apply on the skin with a cotton ball; after ten minutes, rinse your face.

Lemon juice can be used in the same way as vinegar. The citric acid has exfoliating properties and it will help cure acne.

A mask made of egg whites can be very effective, as well. Apply it for a quarter of an hour and then rinse your face with water.

Another great mask is the one made of oatmeal. This will help absorb the extra oil on your face and it will help cure acne and prevent it; you will be able to tell the difference after a few repetitions.

Natural antiseptics are another solution. Tea tree oil is used for applying directly on acne and you can even use it, as a mask - when mixed with jojoba oil - for the whole face.Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid can act from the inside against acne. It helps reduce the metabolism of fats, and your skin will be less oily and disposed to acne, as a result.

Four times a day, 2.5 grams each time, is enough as a treatment with pantothenic acid against acne.

If you want to reduce acne scars, as well, aloe vera is the best choice.

All these remedies are natural and they do not cost you a fortune. That is why they are preferable to cosmetic treatments.

Besides masks and lotions that can be made from natural ingredients, you can also fight acne from the inside. If you keep a balanced diet, you will notice how your skin will do better.

With a digestive system up and working, you will be amazed of the results. In order to regulate your digestion, you can help it by consuming cucumbers, lemons and carrot juice.
