Best Home Remedies For Acne

No matter your reasons for choosing to use a home acne remedy, from lower price to better effectiveness or sensitive skin; these home acne remedies are sure to impress you. Most all of modern acne medicines have a bombardment of chemicals and if you have chemical sensitivities as I do, your acne medicine may be causing you more acne than it is solving. I am absolutely certain that these acne remedies will help you clear up your face.

  1. Organic Yogurt - Surprisingly enough, plain organic yogurt is an extremely effective anti-acne remedy due to it's perfect pH and great complex of healthy bacteria which kill off the infectious bacteria found in hair follicles that cause swollen acne pustules on your face. Yogurt also contains vitamins such as Zinc and B Vitamins which are useful for warding off infection and acne.
  2. Coconut Oil - While this is useful in small locations, it isn't useful as effective through direct application to the whole face. In areas such as the Polynesian islands where their diet is high in coconut oil, acne is absolutely unheard of. Coconut oil has been proven to reduce acne when consistently consumed, typically 2-3 tablespoons per day. In fact it has been shown to increase the health of skin all around.
  3. Tea Tree Oil - This great herb has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic properties and is great for those with sensitive skin - This makes it very effective for acne and minor injuries. Tea Tree oil has been proven to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide for acne with far less side effects such as itching, redness and dry skin- making tea tree oil a healthier alternative especially for those with sensitive skin.

  4. Wheat Grass - Wheat grass has also been shown that when taken regularly it helps reduce acne, however the effects may take a week or more because there will be a higher amount of toxins floating around until the body is detoxified. Wheat grass is a potent detoxifying supplement and acne is often stimulated by the toxins found in the body and wheat grass powerfully attacks the source of those issues. For anyone serious about killing their acne from the source, I highly suggest wheat grass.


Acne Diet

A huge factor in determining how bad of acne you will have is your diet, in order to maintain a healthy complexion it is a necessity that you treat your body with respect if you expect it to do the same for you. In order to keep acne under control you should

  • Avoid nuts, fried and foods heavy in saturated fats
  • Avoid large amounts of chocolate
  • Supplement with Zinc and Vitamin C for healthy immune system to fight of acne
  • Supplement with Vitamin E to keep skin from scarring from acne
  • If you are chemical sensitive, avoid non-organic foods
  • Increase good fats intake and decrease bad fats intake

I guarantee you that if you implement all of these great acne remedies you will see a drastic improvement in your skin condition. I wish you the best of luck with you acne treatment!
