Natural Home Remedies For Acne

Does anybody know any natural home remedies to help acne? I'm 22 well out of puberty and i still break out pretty bad.

Here's a quick home remedy for you:

** Wash your face and rinse thoroughly. Squeeze a fresh lemon
into a small bowl and put the juice on a cotton ball. Apply
a cotton ball to face. Repeat soaking of a cotton ball in
lemon juice as needed. Let the lemon juice dry on your face
for about 10 minutes then rinse with cool water. The lemon
juice should make your face sting or mildly burn. If you
have sensitive skin, you may wish to dilute juice with
water. Follow this procedure one to two times per day and
you will notice amazing results within 14 days.**

And here are a few extra tips to help control your acne.

1) Washing with very hot water, harsh soaps or cleansers will
not improve existing acne or prevent future flare-ups they
will only irritate them.

2) Thorough cleansing is the first and most important step in
any skin care program. Deep cleansing is recommended twice
a day, in the morning and at night. This assures removal of
surface impurities, rests of makeup and excessive oiliness.

3) Ideal cleansing is completed by application of a toner or
refreshing lotion. This kind of product prepares the skin
for the use of moisturizers and lubricants.

4) The last basic step is to apply a good moisturizer, which
will keep your skin soft, and protect it from the
aggressive environmental assaults that it's exposed every
day.

5) Be sure to clean your face thoroughly before going to bed
at night and apply a good night time moisturizer.

Natural Acne Treatment, Cure and Home Remedies for Acne. Acne Remedies - What are the Best Remedies for Acne?

Remove any make-up you have on. Wearing make-up can clog pores, making them dirty and causing pimples. Also try to wear oil-free makeup (if you have oily skin) or a medicated makeup.

Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.

Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed.

Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.

Bye...

I have used every over the counter kind of acne face wash and cream and nothing is working and I can't afford to go to a dermatologist. I had acne real bad in high school and started using Proactiv and it worked instantly. Last May I stopped using it and now my face has started breaking out again so I started using Proactiv again and it's not working. I want to try something natural to see if it helps. Any suggestions...

Using tea tree oil ( you can find it at the drug store or a health food store) as a toner on the affected areas before bed works well as a natural antiseptic to clear pimples. To restore moisture and promote new skin cells to grow, you can use a vitamin E oil all over your face or just where you need it. You can buy it at drug stores in a glass jar or you can buy vitamin E capsules, pierce them open and use the oil inside. It's a bit more hassle, but it's fresher and more potent than the jar variety.
