Remedies for Acne

By Richard May

Acne is one of the most common types of skin complaints that a person can suffer from and it is not just restricted to young people, adults can suffer from it also. Although it is most common for a person to suffer from the condition on their face it can actually affect other parts of the body as well. In fact the chest, back, shoulders, legs and buttocks can sometimes have acne form on them. But today there are various different acne remedies a person can now use in order to treat the condition.

Many people who suffer from acne today rather than using medications those they have been prescribed by their doctor or which can be brought over the counter are using more natural ones instead. Below we take a look at some of the natural remedies that one can easily use for treating this particular kind of skin condition.

1. Tea Tree Essential Oil - This is one of the most popular of the various natural remedies for treating acne today. All that a person needs to do is mix a small amount of the essential oil with a carried fluid and then apply it directly to the affected area with a cotton ball. Once applied the anti-bacterial properties within the oil get to work killing off the bacteria that has caused the acne to erupt.

2. Zinc - Although popular it certainly is not as effective as the above mentioned and some of the medications that your doctor may prescribe. But it can still help to reduce the spots and so help to make a person's skin look better. However, if you are going to use this remedy you need to be aware that if too much is used it can cause other health problems and some people find that their digestive system becomes upset.

3. Garlic - This particular remedy is not very pleasant to smell, but just like the tea tree oil it contains effective anti-bacterial properties that can help to kill of the acne bacteria. Normally a person will either apply crushed garlic or the juice of the garlic directly to the area that is affected or then leave it on the skin to do its work.

4. Lemons - These are another extremely effective remedy for treating acne because they contain high levels of Vitamin C that can boost your immune system. If your immune system is functioning properly it will be better able to fight and kill of the acne bacteria.

Yes you can drink lots of lemon juice to help boost your immune system but a great way to treat the acne itself is by applying it directly to the affected area. What you need to do is take some lemon juice and mix this with some rosewater and then apply to the acne using a cotton wool ball. Once applied you leave the area alone to allow the mixture to be absorbed by the skin. This particular remedy in order to be really effective needs to be applied to the area affected at least two or three times each day.

Along with the acne remedies that we have shown above there are plenty of other natural treatments you may want to consider trying. A quick search of the internet and you will discover lots more very safe and effective treatments for this skin condition. But as well as being safe they are also likely to cost you a lot less than the remedies your doctor prescribes or which you can buy over the counter.
