In their teenage years lots of individuals suffer from acne, a skin ailment that triggers pimples, blackheads along with other unsightly lesions on the face and the body. Women can even suffer acne during menstrual periods or during pregnancy. The skin condition is a combination of factors such as bacteria, hormonal activity and an excessive production of sebum oil in the skin. There are numerous ultra high-tech solutions to curing acne these days but some individuals are still more comfortable in using a more holistic method. Natural acne cures can be quite effective and they are usually cheaper than more contemporary kinds of treatment.

Homeopathic and natural acne cures start with the premise that something isn't in balance within the body and has to be addressed. Personal hygiene is a great place to start. Washing the face along with other affected areas in the morning and prior to going to bed with a non-abrasive soap which has sulfur can help control the P. acnes bacteria that can cause acne. Washing hair daily and also keeping it off the face and shoulders helps to control oil levels on your skin. Wash pillow cases regularly since the face is in touch with them for long periods each night.

Common medical opinion is that sweet and greasy foods do not cause acne however the nutrition that the body gets is extremely important in its ability to control the factors that may cause acne. The body needs to get enough vitamin supplements everyday in order to be able to combat free radicals and toxins that affect the skin's condition. Decent nutrition equals healthy and blemish free skin. A wide range multi-vitamin is a great place to begin and extra amounts of vitamin A can help to strengthen skin tissue and perform the duty of an antioxidant for toxins while zinc is a bacteria fighter.

Natural acne cures also incorporate some stuff that should not be done, particularly scratching, squeezing or picking at the acne lesions, blackheads and pimples on your face and body. Women should also avoid wearing makeup because this could cause pores in the skin to clog up. Do drink lots of water to keep skin hydrated as healthy skin wants a higher level of moisture. Exercise such as yoga may also benefit the problem by reducing stress and causing the skin to sweat and help cleanse pores in the skin. Exercise also improves overall health and helps clear acne.

Lotions made out of naturally sourced substances can be quite effective at controlling and helping to get rid of acne. For hundreds of years, honey has been used as a facial emollient and cleanser. Tea tree oil from the Australian Melaleuca has been scientifically proven to be an excellent bacteria fighter. Aloe vera plant gel includes highly effective enzymes which have anti-inflammatory properties as well as anti-bacterial agents. A lot of experts of natural medicine suggest a facial mask of lemon juice, cream and glycerin or a concoction of rose-water, tomato pulp along with honey left on for 20 minutes every day to improve the condition.
