Natural Remedies for Acne You Probably Didn't Know

If you are struggling with acne and have not found relief with over the counter medication, perhaps a natural remedies for acne will be more effective. Consider three natural and very effective acne remedies. Keep your face clean, using proper hygiene, fruits and oatmeal, are all very effective tools in your acne fighting arsenal.

Before I begin to mention topical natural acne remedies, you must be drinking plenty of water. Keeping hydrated is the single most important factor in fighting acne, and it very important to your overall health. Before you do anything else make sure you are drinking at a minimum 8-10 glasses of water a day.

First, keep your face clean. This minimizes the buildup of acne causing bacteria and reduces outbreaks of acne. Use mild soap and water and make sure you rinse thoroughly. You don't want to replace dirt with soap scum.

Fruits can provide a couple of effective and natural acne remedies. First apples, try mashing up some apples and adding honey, about tablespoons for each apple. You can use a food processor to help you mash it up, but be careful not to run the food processor so long that you have juice. Put this on you face for twenty minutes then rinse with lukewarm water. You should begin to see positive results in 1-2 weeks.
Secondly, Lemons - The citric acid is effective in killing acne causing bacteria, and not nearly as harsh and damaging to the skin as Alcohol. Lemon juice is also rich in Vitamin C, which is very good for your skin and complexion.

Oatmeal is a very effective astringent and can keep you skin and pores very clean. Mix oatmeal, as you would if you were going to eat it, let it cool then apply it to face and leave it on for about 15 minutes, then wash it off.

It amazing what a difference simply keeping your face clean and using basic items out of your pantry and refrigerator can make in your fight with acne. The key is to be consistent. You should begin to see positive results in your skin in 1-2 weeks, safely and naturally. Keep your face clean, an apple and honey paste every other day. an oatmeal scrub twice a week and clean your face with lemon twice a week.

Often the natural remedies are the best. If you had not had success with hydrogen peroxide, or the latest cure being hawked on TV, try natural acne remedies, you may be pleasantly surprised
