Top 3 Effective Acne Home Remedies

If you have ever suffered from acne or are currently dealing with it, you would readily agree that it is an extremely embarrassing skin problem and can be hard to get rid of in spite of using any and all available acne home remedies. This is because it is a readily seen skin disorder and can cause anyone to have extreme social problems. Adolescents and even some adults suffer from low self esteem as a result of the acne on their faces. This however, does not mean that they have not tried their very best to get it cured.

More often than not, these people would have tried everything -"miracle" cures, "wonder drugs"- you name them. But most of the time, acne sufferers do not realize that a few acne home remedies can at the very least give them some respite. Acne home remedies can be really effective and can help cure acne pretty fast. Some of the effective acne home remedies are


Potatoes. As simple as this sounds, I bet you never thought that you could actually get rid of your acne using raw potato. Yes it works. Al you really need to do is rub the raw, peeled potatoes on the infected parts of your face and leave for quite a while. It is particularly effective for whiteheads and does not cause any form of spots.
Use Green Tea. Apply to infected areas and spots and allow it on for at least 30 minutes. This will not only get rid of the acne, it will also help eliminate acne scarring leaving your face free of acne and acne scars.
Use Acnezine Solution. Acnezine is highly effective in not only getting rid of pimples, whiteheads, and acne in all its ugly forms, it reduces the spots while giving your skin that smooth, silky feel and radiant spot free skin. It is also effective in getting rid of any and all blemishes acquired as a result of consistently using disagreeable acne cure products on your skin.

The Easy Way to Get Rid of Acne Scars

Acne is a common condition which affects many people all both genders and all ages, young and old. Although more widespread throughout puberty and teen years, acne can and does last into your 20s or 30s and above. The problem with acne is that if untreated or if treated improperly, it can leave scars in affected areas.

Acne scar treatment is a difficult science. There are several general approaches which have varying degrees of success.

#1 - home remedies: rubbing sandlwood paste or ice cubes over the scars, applying cucumber juice or various other fruits and vegetables directly to the scar area. These types of acne scar treatment should generally be avoided - if it were that easy to solve acne scars, nobody would have them. Wiping fruit and veg on your face isn't going to change your skin!

#2 - laser: laser acne scar treatments are the first arm of a technique known as "dermabrasion", where the top layers of skin are removed to allow new skin to regrow in it's place. This new skin will be scar free, assuming that the dermabrasion is performed correctly. If the top skin is removed poorly or burned by the laser, it can lead to more scarring.

#3 - surgery: skin grafts and other surgical techniques are also used to treat acne scars. With this technique, healthy unscarred skin from other parts of the body is sliced off and moved over the scarred areas, much the same way as burn or crash victims have their skin replaced. While this can work well, you may be left with lines around the edges of the affected areas, and it can be expensive and time consuming.

#4 - chemical peels: the last type of acne scar treatment I'll cover here, and probably the most widespread and easily available. You can buy peel creams over the counter and use them at home, but do always read the label and be very careful. The principle is the same as some of the techniques above - remove the top layers of skin, gradually and slowly, and allow new skin to grow back.

Chemical peels or any of the other acne scar treatments will struggle to make deeply pocked or marked skin perfect again, but you can have some beneficial impact with a little patience and proper information. Be sure to talk to your doctor and dermatologist before you embark on any skin resurfacing scar treatment programme.

There's a great book about how you can cure your acne naturally, including the author's experiences with chemical skin peels to successfully treat his scarring. It's called "Acne Free In 3 Days", and it tells the story of how a chronic acne sufferer learned to keep his acne under control, permanently.

Natural Acne Cure - The Secret Simple Steps To Clear Skin

Acne has been said to be incurable. Luckily for you that is a totally myth. Acne is curable with the natural acne cure secrets revealed in this brief article.

Like a lot of people who write about acne, I suffered from the self-esteem shattering condition for many years before I finally found out how shake it off.

Having cured myself with these acne curing secrets you would be wise to do the same if you want an end to your acne.

Most acne 'cures' are expensive or uncomfortable, yet ineffective. I'm sure you would have tried one of these yourself, such as a celebrity endorsed acne cleanser system or fasting on apples for three days! These have a poor success rate for the typical acne sufferer because they do not treat the root cause of acne - hormones and inflammation.

It isn't complicated. Simply do the following:

1. Avoid vegetable oil. It causes inflammation on a hormonal level that results in acne. Avoid in particular sunflower cooking oil and foods with vegetable oil contained in it.

2. Get abundant nutrients. The body needs nutrients to operate properly and a nutrient deficiency is a common cause of acne. Solve this by eating wholefoods and vegetables on a daily basis.

These two steps are the basic acne secrets the greedy acne companies don't want you to know about. If you do not make the decision to take action right now with these two simple natural acne cure methods, then you will probably never
