subject: How To Cure Acne - 5 Ways To Cure Pimples [print this page] Suffering from acne is tough to deal with and finding a way to naturally cure acne can be hard to find. However, there are several different naturally acne treatments and acne home remedies that are effective for curing and preventing acne from coming back. We will go over several different ways where you can cure your acne naturally.
Once acne develops, treatment can come in many forms. Most people begin by trying over-the-counter remedies including benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. The point of these medications is to draw the excess oil out of the blemish and promote healing. Again, the issue with these treatments is the potential for over-drying. Both products, sold under various trade names, have a drying property which can cause the nearby skin to again over-produce oil and create an acne cycle.
Glycerin or sorbitol soap is another way to cure pimples. An example of this soap is neutrogena. Make sure you wash your face at least two times a day. This soap is gentle and will be effective at helping you get rid of your pimples.
Avoid stress - if you are stressed, your hormones are altered which can lead to pimple outbreaks. If you cannot get away from a stressful activity, at learn techniques that help you relax.
Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don't rub too hard, otherwise you'll sap your skin of its own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.
Green Tea: This natural remedy is often used for curing acne. It is available in an over the counter cream form or you can use green tea leaves and apply it to your face.
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice can help to fight bacteria and can be applied to your face several times a day if needed. It is an inexpensive and natural home remedy for acne.
Vitamin C. One of the best acne scar treatments is vitamin C. While it's been talked about as an immune booster it has also strong influence on collagen which is used with skin to heal scars if need. There are plenty of foods that have vitamin C. Even if you are unable to get a lot of vitamin C through vitamins there are several supplements to aide in reducing scar redness. Another homemade acne treatment with Vitamin C is to mix it with lime, lemon or pineapple juice and apply it directly to the face where the scar is. This with some regular consistency will aide in healing the scar.
