Acne Home Remedies: 5 Basic Strategies

By: Dr Meg H

Step 1: Use the Right Face Wash



Ever noticed how parched and itchy your skin is after cleansing with your usual soap or wash preparation? This irritation can really make your acne worse.



To wash instead choose soaps or washes that are formulated on sorbitol or glycerin. As they balance skin pH they also inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Secret Two: Exfoliate Regularly



Your skin routine no doubt includes washing, toning and moisturizing. To round it off include daily exfoliation. This removes the buildup of dead cells on the skin's surface which may block pores and contribute to pimples. Below are the best natural acne remedies for getting the job done:

o Buffing Sponge. A buffing sponge gently scours off the outside layers of the dermis.



o Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Peels. You can use natural peels based on non-damaging alpha and beta hydroxy acids derived from fruit.



o Glycolic Acid Peels. Using these, more skin cells are peeled away (including acne scars and wrinkles) revealing the fresh new skin beneath.



Using the Glycolic Acid Peel: It is simply a more concentrated preparation of the alpha hydroxyl fruit acid so there is no risk it will burn or damage your skin when used according to directions. After just 2 or 3 sessions over about a month you will see an improvement.

Secret 3: Protect Your Skin from Sun and Wind



The damage to your skin caused by sun and wind contributes to acne. So if you are heading out in to the elements, round off your daily skin care routine by slapping on some sun block.

Use an oil-free sunblock if you have combination or oily skin, or a moisturizer/sunblock combination for normal or dry skin. Choose a non-comedogenic ( non-pore-clogging ) product such as Neutrogena.

Strategy 4: Eat and Drink Wisely



Acne is virtually confined to western society where we eat excessive quantities of junk foods and drinks. Junk food, especially high sugar fixes, exacerbates acne. You could even see a flare up in your acne in just minutes of drinking a can of soft drink.

So, to fight acne from within, eat more natural foods, including raw fruits and vegetables.



Foods high in Vitamin C are particularly effective, including broccoli, spinach and citrus. Vitamin C is integral to healthy skin, for its role in skin function, elasticity, and repair.



Step 5: Drink Good Old H2O



Drink plenty of water. It not just rinses away the body's toxic waste products, but also keeps your skin attractive and well hydrated. Drink eight to ten glasses a day.
