subject: Finding The Best Adult Acne Home Treatment [print this page] If adult acne is your curse and you are tired of wasting money on the latest cream or pill then maybe a more natural treatment is the answer. You need a remedy that isn't harsh and leaves your skin all red and blotchy. Many natural acne treatments are easy to do and require nothing more then a few lifestyle adjustments.
Eat a healthy diet. This is more for the fact that a healthy diet gives your body the nutrients it needs to function at its optimum level. There is little evidence that eating chocolate or fatty foods contributes to outbreaks of acne, but a healthy diet makes a healthy body.
Apply toothpaste on your pimples and leave it on for 15 minutes, and then wash it off. This will only work if your skin is not sensitive and if the toothpaste has a sufficient amount of mint in it.
Furthermore, picking the spots can also lead to scarring. Since acne is formed in the pores of the skin, then breaking the skin will damage the skins pores. If they don't heal properly, then they can leave scars.
Vitamin intake - supplementary vitamins like vitamins A, B, C, and E, zinc, iron and more can contribute to the overall glow of your skin. These supplementary nutrients also aid in the natural adult acne treatment. Food sources like fish, poultry, nuts, berries, and even eggs are good sources of vitamins.
Eating a healthy diet is another good way to fight the affects of adult acne. While there is no scientific evidence that oily, fatty and high sugar foods can cause acne eating these types of foods in general is not a good idea. They just aren't that good for you body as a whole. Eating a diet high in fiber, anti-oxidants, and vitamins and minerals is the best way to go. The more efficient your body runs the better all the systems will work, including your biggest organ, your skin. A diet rich in bet-carotene and zinc is also recommended because these nutrients help not only prevent adult acne but also help the healing process and help to prevent scarring.
Steaming the face is an excellent way of getting rid of acne and pimples. This can be done by boiling some water and pouring it into a large bowl. Put your head over top of the bowl with a towel over your head so none of the steam escapes. Stay there for 10 - 20 mins. This will allow the steam to open up all of your pores. Once you have finished steaming, splash some cool water onto your face to close all the pores.
