Do you find a new pimple every time you look in the mirror? I hope not, but if you do then lets look at some different ways of getting rid of you acne without using expensive medications and treatments.

Let’s start with “what is acne?” Acne is a skin disorder that is primarily caused by your hormones acting in conjunction with the skin’s oil glands called the sebaceous glands. The oils excreted from the sebaceous glands may lead to congesting you skin pores. At this point your acne is forming. Acne can breakout on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders, and occasionally even on your scalp because this is where the glands are most profuse. Without proper treatment and occasionally counseling, severe acne can lead to other psychological disorders such as depression.

Acne is often linked to your genetics which there isn’t going to be anything you can do about that. However, acne is also attributed to hygiene. This isn’t to say that you never shower or you play in the dirt all day long. It just means that you have a situation where your skin accumulates oil and possibly dirt which contributes to acne breakouts. Using the natural solutions below, you will be able to address the hygiene issues.

1. Fruits and Veggies - By getting the recommended daily allowance of your fruits and vegetables, you will be surprised at the impact it will have on your acne outbreaks.

2. Use rose water to clean you face. Simply use it at least twice per day to keep your face clear and refreshed.

3. React immediately when you see a pimple starting to appear. Start by cleaning the location which just soap and water. Then try patting ice on the swollen location to reduce the swelling and likely releasing the trapped oils from the pores. Then once again wash and rinse the location again to try to remove more oils.

4. Take your vitamins just like your mother always told you. Taking your vitamins will help maintain your body’s chemical balance or correct chemical imbalances. Start with a multivitamin that contains a zinc supplement because it helps to make your skin stronger and builds resistance to acne.

5. Cucumbers - Only this time they aren’t to eat. Create a cucumber paste by combining a cucumber with water to make a facial mask. Put it on for about half an hour and rinse off. This is affordable and helps control acne at the same time that it refreshes your skin.

6. Use gentle, mild soaps on your skin. I know it is tempting to use soaps that dry out your skin but then you are just going from one problem to another. Avoid using petroleum based as well as animal based soaps because they will irritate and dry out your skin.

7. Cleansers - Avoid using cleansers that contain alcohol because it will tend to dry out your skin. Alcohol free cleansers will be much gentler to your face and body.

8. Pick and choose your makeup carefully because many contain petroleum products and will dry you skin out which isn’t necessarily what you want. You want to keep your skin clean and fresh not dry and flaky.

9. Finally, drink plenty of water. Keep your body hydrated to help fight the build-up of dirt and oils on your skin. Instead your body will try to flush those toxins out and leave you feeling better and fresh.

Using this list of natural acne remedies you will be able to at least reduce your acne if not completely obliterate it. As a wonderful side affect, your skin will feel better than it ever has and you will have an over all improvement in energy. Say goodbye to your acne today!
