How To Treat Your Acne With Simple Homemade Remedies In Five Easy Steps
Acne is a serious condition and I have five all-natural acne treatments for you to try. There are plenty of expensive acne treatments on the market today. Some work for a while, some don’t, but that’s not what this blog post is about. Instead I want to share some quite effective natural treatment options with you.
1) Pay Attention To Your Diet
I cannot stress enough how important it is to stay well hydrated. This one change alone will improve your skin and your overall health. Keep a food journal for a while to find out what ingredients trigger your acne the most. Just try to stay away from them as much as possible.
2) The Power Of The Sun
Going outside and getting some sun on your face is another simple but effective strategy. Try to get at least 15 minutes of sunshine a day. This will cause your body to make plenty of Vitamin D and it is good for your skin as well.
3) Green Tea - The Ancient Elixir
Green tea has been shown to improve acne. The thinking is that the antioxidants and phytonutrients found in this ancient beverage contribute to the improvement. Drink several cups of this delicious tea per day. Do not add any sweetener as this natural preservative will reduce some of the nutrients in the tea ineffective.
4) Tea Tree Oil And Aloe Vera
Mix a little of the oil and aloe gel in your hand and massage it on your face as part of your cleaning routine. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties and the gel made from the aloe plant will reduce swelling and redness.
5) Vinegar And Baking Soda
Last but not least, here are two more homemade treatment options. While you are suffering from an acne breakout, use vinegar like a toner a few times a day. This will cause your face to heal fast. After your acne breakout is healed, apply a baking soda mask to your face, neck and shoulders. To make it just mix the soda with a bit of water. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, and then rinse with plenty of warm water. Use this mask a few times per week. Your acne will likely be greatly reduced because the baking soda does a good job of restoring the ph balance.
