Of course, you need to find information on side effects, but that's something you should do anyway whenever you're considering using any kind of treatment. If you're looking for effective home remedies for acne, keep reading.
You've probably heard of clay being used as facial mask for a variety of purposes. Clay facial treatments are usually done in spas, but you can do these treatments at home to refresh your skin as well as detoxify it. If you want to use clay as a natural acne treatment, use bentonite clay or French green clay. These are available for sale online and in many health food stores. Even if you don't have acne, these clays are excellent facial treatments. Once or twice a week, you can use healing clay as a facial mask. You'll soon see your skin looking better. You may notice that you not only have fewer pimples, but that you also look younger! For many years, people around the world have been using garlic to treat different ailments. It can be taken internally or externally, such as applied directly to the skin. Garlic is one of nature's most powerful anti-bacterial agents. The best way to use it for acne is to mash it up using either an old fashioned mortar and pestle or a food grinder. You can apply the mashed up garlic where you have acne and you'll need to leave this on there for a few minutes. You'll have to wash off the garlic thoroughly after, though, because it has a strong, pungent smell. However, be careful not to scrub your face too hard when you wash it, as doing so will irritate your skin further.
Apple cider vinegar is a home remedy that's used to treat all kinds of health problems. It can be useful to treat acne as well. It's recommended that you use the raw and organic kind. This is widely available and inexpensive. As a topical acne treatment, apple cider vinegar should be diluted with water prior to application. This is because the concentrated form of vinegar can be very harsh on the skin, so you'll want to dilute 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water and use that. Some people also take apple cider vinegar internally. By taking 2 tablespoons of this twice a day every day, apple cider vinegar can help in restoring your body's pH level. Try using some of these natural remedies and it's possible that one of them will be able to help you get your acne under control. Acne can be persistent and it isn't going to go away overnight. However, there are those who say that natural remedies like tea tree oil are fast-acting. A healthy diet and adequate sleep are also important in keeping your skin and body healthy.
