subject: Heal Your Acne The Natural Way [print this page] Curing acne is effective and economical in the long term when done naturally and holistically. Curing acne naturally from the inside out with diet and practical lifestyle changes is far more effective than simply trying to cure acne overnight with topical treatments. Curing adult acne internally is also possible with this approach - it's not just for teenagers.
Water is one of the greatest resources the nature ever gave to us, and it is cleansing out bodies in a natural way. But I would not suggest you to drink tap water, because of its high levels of chemicals. Only drink it if it's filtered or distilled. For you who can get spring water, that's great too.
You should be using a chemical free skin cleanser every day. By cleaning your skin, you can help eliminate new blemishes from forming. Cleaning your skin every day is the best thing you can do to achieve healthy, acne free skin.
What ever you do make sure you do not pick, scratch, squeeze or touch your blackheads or spots as doing so will make the situation worse. It can be very tempting but you should avoid touching the effected area as touching and picking will take longer to heal and cause scaring of the skin.
Another excellent natural resource for your body and especially skin is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is available in juice form, which can be consumed on a daily basis. Normally 10 to 15 ml of Aloe juice is mixed with water and consumed in the morning, ideally with empty stomach.
Wash your face. Use a gentle soap or a sulfur-based soap made especially for acne. You do it once in the morning the moment you wake up and once in the evening just before you sleep. Be gentle on your skin. Since your body is made of about 70% water, it's only natural to assume drinking plenty of water will have a great effect on not only your body, but your skin. You get out what you put in, if you continue to drink sodas filled with sugars, dyes, and acid, chances are your acne won't be getting better any time soon. Reduce the amount of sodas and sugary drinks you consume and increase your water intake. This step alone will produce amazing results in 1 day!
Check your home and work environment for toxins - household cleaners, chemical fumes from plastics, treated wood or carpets in the home, additives in cosmetics, leaching from cooking utensils.
