Acne Home Remedies - Helping You Cope With Problem Skin

Acne home remedies are useful in the treatment of a skin condition. Even when a medical professional has diagnosed and treated the problem with appropriate prescriptive medication and therapy, day-to-day home care and acne home remedies remain an important aspect of clearing up pimples, blackheads, redness, and in scar prevention.

Your acne problem may be the result of a hormonal imbalance, heredity, allergies, or any condition that causes the body to produce excess androgens (e.g., testosterone), and the problem is made worse by inappropriate lifestyle choices. Acne remedies, therefore, must include all the old standbys needed for good health:
* eating a balanced diet, including five or more servings of fresh fruit and vegetables;
* getting plenty of sleep and exercise; and
* reducing stress (e.g. meditation, prayer, yoga).
In addition:
* wash the area two times a day with medicated soap;
* reduce the risk of causing scars by refraining from picking and squeezing; and
* avoid the sun, saunas, and steam rooms.

Simple acne home remedies can help you get rid of flare-ups, but try a sample treatment first to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in the remedy.
1. Make a paste of any of these popular combinations, apply, leave on 2030 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water:
* ground orange peel and water;
* salt and vinegar;
* ground sesame seeds with water;
* lime juice and rosewater;
* baking soda and water; or
* ground nutmeg and milk (leave on for 1-2 hours)
2. Moisten the skin and wash off after one minute:
* 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar mixed with 8 tablespoons water;
* raw papaya juice; or
* lemon juice.

3. Rub fresh garlic on pimples and rub a newly forming pimple with an ice cube.
