NATURAL REMEDIES FOR ACNE

Having acne as a young teenager can be very devastating as teenagers have a lot of things to go through as they are growing up without putting up with pimples all over their face. My grandson suffered really bad with acne and was very upset by having it as he got teased at school. He tried creams from the chemist but a lot of them was irritating his skin so I told him some of my natural remedies for it and he tried some until he found the one he was comfortable using. I would like to share with you some of my natural remedies for acne.

Aloe Vera for Acne - The aloe vera plant has a watery gel inside the leaves which is a highly effective natural cure for acne. The gel has very soothing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. I like to apply the gel straight to my face from the plant and leave it on overnight then wash it off the next morning with warm water. You can use the aloe vera juice as well and drink it so it helps clean you internally and detox the the digestive tract and this in turn can help clear up the skin. It is always good to have a garden of aloe vera growing as it is a natural remedy not only for acne but many other things to.

Tea Tree Oil for Acne - Tea Tree Oil is very effective against acne as it contains bacteria fighting substances called terpenes. Acne is often caused by bacteria and the terpenes either outright kill them or weaken them enough to be destroyed by protective antibodies. Just put a small amount of Tea Tree Oil on a cotton but and dab on the pimples before you retire for the night and in the morning wash your face with warm water and you will see how clear your skin gets.

Natural Yogurt for Acne -In a bowl combine natural yogurt and fine oatmeal and mix to a paste that is quite thick. Apply the yogurt mixture to your face and leave it till it goes dry then wash it off with warm water and just lightly pat your face dry.

Strawberry Leaves for Acne - In a saucepan add 50g strawberry leaves with 1.5 litres water and bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes. This is a very effective natural remedy for acne and will also give you itching free and soothing face.

Honey for Acne - In a bowl mix honey and cinnamon powder and make a paste. Apply the paste before going to bed and then when you wake in the morning wash it off with lukewarm water. This is a great natural remedy for acne.

Constipation Cause of Acne - Chronic constipation is a big cause of acne as if the bowels do not work properly then waste matters is not eliminated as fast as it should and the bloodstream becomes full of toxic matter. The skin then has extra work to eliminate extra waste and results in acne and other skin diseases. You can see by that you should eat the right foods also to prevent acne and other problems. You should not have irregular hours for eating or improper foods such as excess starches, sugar and fatty foods.
