subject: Top 10 Ways To Treat Acne [print this page] The natural ways to cure acne include eating healthy, exercising, good hygiene, avoiding stress and knowing a few basic home remedies against acne.
In addition to these over-the-counter treatments, there are prescriptions that can be used to fight acne. For more severe cases of acne, one preferred treatment is antibiotics. Several different antibiotics have been used effectively to treat acne, including tetracycline and others. The problem with this form of treatment is twofold: First, to be effective, the treatment often requires repeated regiments of the antibiotics. That can make the antibiotic less effective later in life for treating other infections. Second, some antibiotics, including tetracycline, can make the skin particularly sensitive, leading to sunburns or skin irritations.
Healthy foods is another way to cure your pimples. Foods that are loaded with sugar, saturated fats, and vegetable oils will cause you to breakout. These foods causes an imbalance with your hormones and an insulin spike.
Home remedies against pimples - well, it is always good to be prepared with an arsenal of effective natural ways to cure acne at home just in case a wayward pimple appears. Some effective home remedies against pimple are Tea tree oil, honey, lemon juice wash, Vitamins A and B6 and a good facial massage.
Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have sensitive skin.
Oatmeal and Honey Mask: This mixture makes an effective facial mask. Oatmeal is effective for absorbing oil and dirt and honey is a natural antibacterial. You can mix both together and apply on face before bed. Allow the homemade mask to set on your face for 5 to 10 minutes and wash off.
Vitamin E. Rub vitamin E oil along your face where the scar is in the morning or at night. Vitamin E helps with skin and this is a champion when it comes to larger scars to dull their jagged and pitted looks. This doesn't help overnight but with constant and consistent usage you'll find your skin feeling better, looking better and soon acne scar free.
