Easily Available Natural Treatment For Acne

By Ronald Barnes


Acne is a dermatological condition that affects people of all races. It does not discriminate by gender, and contrary to what most persons are taught, it does not always go away after the teen years. Additionally, breakouts or the related scars on the body can affect the self esteem of the individual. Many of the prescription and over the counter medication for the condition have side effects that are undesirable and sometimes they simply do not work. This is why so many people seek a natural treatment for acne.

Just as with the pharmaceutical alternatives, there are topical as well as internal remedies for acne. Nature produced internal remedies for acne are foods that experts recommend that people include in a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables are examples of foods that experts advise help to keep the embarrassing skin condition away. Fruits and vegetables help to provide the right nourishment to keep the skin healthy.

One of the things that sufferers of dermatological conditions are advised to do is to hydrate their bodies. This means consuming lots of water. Water is known as a detoxing agent as it moves toxins out of the body. Many of these toxins, if not removed, would eventually find their way to the skin, resulting in blackheads, cysts or pimples.

One natural remedy for acne is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is a plant that is popular in tropical climates. It has a long history of use for skin conditions. The internal section of the plant which has a gel like consistency, is massaged into the skin. It is then allowed to remain on the skin, acting on the scars and breakouts, for a few minutes or even hours before it is rinsed off. The plant is also eaten by those who wish to improve their skin health.

Aloe Vera's antimicrobial properties make it great for the controlling of pimples and cysts on the skin. The moisturizing and skin nourishing nature of the substance also make it great for improving the overall health of the skin. It is these two functions that make it such a popular remedy.

The food produced by bees, honey, is also one of the natural remedies for skin breakouts. It is known for its ability to reduce and eliminate scarring as well as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts. Honey, like Aloe Vera, has a long history of being used for this purpose.

Home made masks are popular among those who seek a natural remedy for their skin conditions. These masks are created by combining ingredients that are known for their skin health benefits. Aloe, Vera, honey and avocado are therefore among the ingredients combined to make these facial masks.

Simple solutions are available for those who suffer from this and other dermatological conditions. The ingredients are often in the kitchen of health enthusiasts anyway and for others they may be in the backyard growing. Some amount of research and experimentation may be needed though, as each individual's skin is unique.
