Acne Natural Remedies

Posted by admin on August 15th, 2008 and filed under Uncategorized | No Comments »

I have been interested in natural remedies for over 30 years and truly believe there is no better pharmacy than nature. I have cured a number of health problems naturally and feel that any disease we may have can be cured with what is available from our environment.

 

Acne can have terrible consequences for people. Not only can it result in physical scarring, there’s also the mental scarring as well.

 

Oil and dirt can plug up pores, resulting in acne (blackheads and whiteheads). If bacteria get trapped, the skin gets inflamed and the result is pimples.

Keeping the skin clean is the best way to prevent acne, but everyone has problems with acne at one time or another. Hormone imbalance is also a cause of acne, which is why teenagers and often pregnant women have problems with acne. Stress can also lead to skin problems.

Most people with acne will buy over-the-counter products, but most of these products contain chemicals that, not only can slow down the healing process, but can also aggravate the problem, resulting in even more skin problems. Not only that, they’re generally more expensive than home remedies.

Which leads us to, how can we treat acne naturally?
 
Nature has been said to be mankind’s medicine cabinet. Many of our pharmaceuticals today even come from nature. There are many natural products that can be used to treat acne.

While these methods won’t produce results overnight, stay with them. You may even want to combine a couple of these remedies to see how they work for you.


·     One of the number one ways to treat acne naturally is with oatmeal. Oatmeal draws out the excess oil and impurities from your skin. Put it in a blender and pulverize it, then add enough water to make a thick paste. Apply it to your face and leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Oatmeal also makes an excellent exfoliate. Just by rubbing the paste around your face it will remove dead cells

 

·     Juice 1 cucumber with a juice extractor. Then apply the juice to the pimples. Leave on for at least 15 minutes, and then wash off with warm water. Make sure this is done daily.

 

·     Wash your face with mild soap and hot water, and then apply a thin layer of extra-virgin cold pressed olive oil. Don’t wash off the olive oil, the skin needs to absorb the oil. Repeat three times a day. Usually, the skin will clear up within a week. To maintain a clear skin, do this once a day.

 

·     Rub fresh garlic on your acne. You can also puree the garlic and use later. Do this daily and you will see an improvement of your skin. Another variation is to puree 3 or 4 cloves of garlic and soak them in milk for half an hour (this helps remove the smell), then rub the mixture on your acne.

 

·     Raw potatoes are great for clearing acne fast. Grate or shred a potato and apply it as a poultice. This not only works for acne, but also for boils and wrinkles. Potatoes contain sulphur, potassium, phosphorus, enzymes, vitamin C and protein, which are all excellent for the skin.

 

·     Tea tree oil has been found to be both an antifungal and antiseptic (helps prevent infections). Put some on a cotton swab and apply it to your acne with it. Leave on all night (or all day).

 

·     You can also make a paste of salt and vinegar. Rub it on the acne and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

·     Apple cider vinegar is one of nature’s best overall products. Simply dilute one part vinegar to five parts water and apply it to your skin with a cotton ball. Not only does the vinegar help to remove excess oil, it helps destroy bacteria as well as helping to maintain your skin’s pH. This is definitely one of the best acne natural remedies.

·     Another favorite treatment is to make a paste of powdered nutmeg and milk and apply to your face. Many people swear by this one!

are there any GOOD home remedies for acne?

Posted by admin on February 4th, 2010 and filed under acne home remedies | 8 Comments »

i’ve basically tried clean & clear, and Proactive. i am not willing to buy another product of those whats so ever. i DO NOT have severe acne i just have a fe pimples here and there but definetly not severe acne. what i use daily or a few times a week is the WAVE the one where Vanessa Hudgens is in the commercial. does anyone know any GOOD home remedies that ACTUALLY work using stuff that i prob do have in my house?

honey. honey is SO good for your skin. just put some warm honey all over your face, and wash it off after, like, 10 minutes? if you go to youtube, and search bubzbeauty’s site, you get some facials you can do with stuff like tea, honey, etc.

I have many acne scars on my body, how do I get rid of them? (possible treatments?)?

Posted by admin on January 30th, 2010 and filed under treat acne scars naturally | 3 Comments »

I am still very young, and have had many medications to treat my severe acne.
I started with topical creams and infection creams, blue-ray light treatment, then to antibacterial pills, and now I have been taking accutane for the past four months. In the course of these months, they have upped my prescription from one to two a day.

Though the accutane is helping a bit, I still have discolored, shallow scars from the acne. Because I am still young, my dermatologist has suggested I wait till my skin naturally rids of the bad skin. But i know most of the scars are here to stay.

What can I do for treatment? I have heard of things like microdermabrasion, but I dont know much about it. Is there any way I can get rid of these scars without going into surgery or under the knife/lazer?

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder of the face, back, and chest. Although it is usually associated with hormone during puberty, it can also affect many adults. Whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples, result from an overgrowth of bacteria in oil-clogged pores. Keeping the skin clean is very important in helping to control acne, as taking vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, as wells as healthy eating and exercise habits, can be very beneficial.

OVERNIGHT PASTE = Honey, wheat flour, and vinegar, use it to lightly cover a new outbreak of pimples overnight, rinse off in the morning. This should accelerate the healing process.

ACNE TREATMENT = Use a clean travel size bottle to mix 1 part vinegar and 10 parts water. Clean your face as usual in the morning, then carry this bottle and a few cotton balls with you so you can dab acne spots several times during the day. This solution shouldn’t dry out your skin, and the vinegar will help return your skin to a natural pH balance. This treatment may also help prevent future acne outbreaks. Discontinue use if irritation worsens.

Doing Aerobic exercise daily will help sweat the acne away.
Try a Detoxification.
Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily.
Eat more raw vegetables.
Eat yogurt with live cultures.

Are there any home acne remedies?

Posted by admin on January 14th, 2010 and filed under acne home remedies | 3 Comments »

I’ve tried every product out there. None of them have worked for me. & I can’t buy the expensive stuff.
So are there any home remedies out there that get rid of acne?

These are simple…I use them about once every two weeks to maintain clear skin.
Mix:
2 tablespoons yogurt (plain)
1 teaspoon lemon (or lime) juice.
-mix thoroughly and spread over face. Leave on 3-5 minutes, than rinse.

Another one is creating a mixture of salt water. Boil a cup of water (it’ll end up being about a 1/2 cup), put in bowl and mix in 3-5 tablespoons of salt. Wash face thoroughly using a washcloth soaked in the solution.

I hope these help you!
Best wishes,
Evangeline

What are some home remedies to cure acne?

Posted by admin on January 8th, 2010 and filed under acne home remedies | 7 Comments »

I’ve been reading up on home remedies to help get rid of acne, but everything I find suggests using ingredients I’ve never heard of…rose water, cinnamon powder, etc.

Are there any home remedies for acne that only involve everyday household items? Thanks :)
Well, if you’ve never heard of cinnamon I’m not sure what you consider everyday household items. However, what you eat has an influence on your acne. Stay away from food with a lot of sugar, saturated fats, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, fried foods, nuts, milk and milk products, and oil based cosmetics for a start.

With all that, what can you eat? Lots of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, ocean fish like tuna or salmon, tofu, pumpkin seeds, chick peas, beets, sprouts, fresh mint, fresh basil, and fresh parsley.

There are also herbal tinctures that a naturopathic physician or an herbalist can give to you to help balance your hormones and purify your body.

You can also take Vitamin A [50,000 IU a day for three days] and Zinc [45 mg a day].

Posted by admin on December 30th, 2009 and filed under acne home remedies | 4 Comments »

something that works quick and it has to be something at about 20 the less i will spend is 20…
but at home what can i use and blackheads all over my cheeks..

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It’s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:

Search up "Cee En’s Acne Solution" on ebay.

First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40, 3 month for $100, or 6 month supply for $150

It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

check the seller’s feedbacks on the cream

I hope this helps. =)

Acne-home remedies and oatmeal bath question?

Posted by admin on October 29th, 2009 and filed under acne home remedies | 3 Comments »

Does anyone have a home remedy for acne that works really well? Also has anyone tried an oatmeal bath for acne? I dont know if it would help or not but id like to try it.

thanks

First, I understand where you’re coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarrassing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist (ouch!) to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it didn’t matter as much.

Here’s what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.

It’s not a topical issue, it doesn’t help much to treat it from the outside, it’s an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it’s like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You’ll hear from many people that’s not the case, and it’s usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month (or they haven’t experienced the truth). Of course, when you stop using it (as you’ve experienced) your blemishes come back… because you’re not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines/drugs add up month after month.

If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It’s usually because of something we ate, something that wasn’t meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things.

Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what’s on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you’re eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones… literally a great number of things.

Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.

I followed the regimen in these two books I found:

Are there any home remedies that get rid of acne?

Posted by admin on October 27th, 2009 and filed under acne home remedies | 15 Comments »

There are little acne bumps on my lower forehead and one small one between my eyebrows.
I’ve tried so many facial scrubs, washes, lotions, masks that suppository "treat" acne. Is there any good home remedies that clears acne? Or should I just drink a lot of water and lay off the sugar? I’ve read that plain oatmeal mixed with honey treats acne, but i’m not sure what type of oatmeal to use. Please help, thanks :)
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.

Bacteria in pores is one cause of spots. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide (ask your doctor about benzaclin, with moisturizer if you have dry skin, as it works better than just plain benzoyl because benzoyl takes up to 8 weeks before improvement is seen) which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster.

Bye…
