For this reason, there is a variety of effective home remedies for acne which you can easily find in the Internet using Google. While teenagers are the ones more commonly affected by this skin condition, it also affects virtually anyone of any age.
To a layman, it is typically a pimple but in sever occasion such as the times when I was a teenager, I have to consult a dermatologist. Various antibiotics are prescribed and the treatment does not come cheap. It is in fact expensive and this is why home treatments are become more and more popular.
The reason why home treatments for acne are becoming more popular is because it is effective and inexpensive. Generally it suits teenagers who have low budget. This form of treatments includes the use of holistic ingredients most people already have in their home. Now, let's discuss the different kind of home treatments you can easily use.
1. Drink plenty of water
Acne begins on the inside of the body. It does not begin on the surface of the skin. You have to drink plenty of water. The minimum number should be eight glasses per day so as to help detoxify your body and cure acne.
2. Toothpaste
The peroxide in the toothpaste dries and removes the pimple. Simply apply a small amount after you have cleansed your face. If the pimple is open, do not use this method.
3. Fruit and vegetables
This method is highly recommended. There are many natural recipes, which you can find from the Internet, and this will reduce acne scars.
4. Dietary Changes
In some cases, the food you consume can contribute to the condition, such as eating foods containing large amounts of oil. Make an effort to eliminate oily and junk foods, such as chocolate, and consume healthier foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
It is very important to keep your face clean at all times. It is not advisable to use fragrant soap. If you are using, please stop and change to a non-fragrant soap instead. A number of unscented products can be easily found at your local drug store.
Next, it is not recommended to use scrub products because they are meant to remove dead skin cells, not pimples. These products will only irritate your blemishes. I know most ladies always use skin care products. My advice is using too many of these products at any one time only worse your skin condition and will even cause irritation. Make sure you use the right product right for your skin; using the wrong one can cause more irritation.
