Homemade Acne Treatments

Many people choose homemade acne treatments because they believe that these are the ultimately-safe and sound treatments in the market. The fear of using chemical-based treatments has deterred many acne sufferers not only because of this reason, but also because of the price.

It's no joke that many medical treatments cost too much but do little. But somehow, there are still medical treatments that work better than others because it's the only method that can cure the patient. However, nothing is new in the world of medicine- there will be natural or herbal methods as much as there are medical ones.

There are several factors that you need to understand in order to effectively apply homemade acne treatments.

(1) What you eat and do can affect your skin and overall well-being. If you love eating greasy foods, sweets, dairy products and love alcoholic drinks, you can stop wondering why you have so much acne outbreaks. These foods and beverages can trigger the sebaceous glands to produce excessive oils as well as the bacteria to thrive. Changing these unhealthy eating habits can do wonders not only for your acne but for the rest of your body.

(2) Detoxifying is one way to reduce the existence of acne. This can be done by drinking plenty of fluids such as water and fresh fruit juices. Detoxifying is getting rid of impurities in your system and this can be done by urinating and through the bowel movement. Your skin is the third organ that can excrete these toxins, but if your skin pores are blocked, it can't detoxify properly. So it is important to hydrate your skin to let the oil glands do their work.

(3) Stress can trigger acne. Stress is not just a state of mind but it is a physical state. You feel tired and weary all the time when you are stressed. This can lead to lowered immune system, hence the attack of diseases. By keeping a healthy lifestyle, getting enough sleep and relaxing once in a while, you can prevent acne and other diseases to inflict you.


* What home remedy to avoid *

Avoid alcohol-based toners and cleansers because they dry up the skin, causing the pores to clog and for the bacteria to thrive.

Avoid concocting a mixture of chemicals and medical solutions. This is dangerous not just for your skin but for your entire body. You may have seen some websites that promote mixing several chemical-based solutions, but they won't work on every individual.

* Using household ingredients and items from the pantry to make homemade acne treatments *

- Oatmeal is good for the body because it acts like a sponge that absorbs bad cholesterol in your system. This is the same principle when it comes to treating your skin.

Eat oatmeal and use it also on as a facial regimen to relieve acne. Prepare the oatmeal as you would prepare it for breakfast minus the flavourings and other stuff. Just use water and oatmeal [instant or cooked]. Apply the oatmeal paste onto your facial skin and let it dry for a few minutes, then rinse. You'll feel some tightening on your skin but the texture is smoother than before. You can do this twice a day for better results.

- Lemon juice on your acne? Why not? The citric acid helps disinfect the affected areas as it kills the bacteria. You may dilute the lemon juice with water. For the juice of one lemon, use a cup of warm water to dilute it. Use more lemon if you want to use the mixture as facial cleanser. If you wish to use it as facial rub, you may just dilute the juice of half a lemon in ½ cup of water. Use a cotton ball to dab the lemon water mixture onto your face.
