Acne Skin Treatment
Now more than
ever people are responsive to several options available
in treating acne. But it should always be a reminder
that whether self-medication or with the assistance
of a dermatologist, achieving a genuine solution
lies in devoting time and effort to each individual's
regimen -- which in turn largely depends on the severity
and response to personal acne skin treatments.
There is a range of treatments
now available – from face washes and over the
counter topical medications to prescription drugs
and cosmetic laser acne treatment.
As if the
cure is so remote, acne alternative treatments and
natural herbal acne treatments are cropping up. |

Still
others settle for homemade acne treatments. Basic among
acne treatments is simple cleansing and exfoliating – but
because acne forms under the skin, simply washing away surface oils does not
do much to prevent or cure.
Exfoliating helps reduce dead skin cells and debris which can clog pores and
cause more acne. In the confines of home, one can prepare homemade
acne treatments such as a paste made of basil leafs and
sandalwood or strawberry leaves. The combination of mint
and lavender is a natural herbal acne treatment.

Surely pure
but using fruit juices has its drawback because the
acidity of the fruit may vary. Dermatologists
are warning on overusing lemon juice as toner because
it has a ph factor of 2, even higher than the ph
factor 1 of sulfuric acid.
It is advised that
lemon juice be diluted with water and rinsed off
immediately.
There are ready herbal mixes and concoctions
available especially ones made of Chinese herbs.
Traditional
Chinese acne medications containing are classified
as natural herbal acne treatments. |
Meanwhile, the advent of alternative
options to achieve general wellness gave rise to acne alternative
treatments. In the so-called naturopathy, herbs and
fruit extracts take in the form of skin products.
Taking
large amount of vegetables, fruits and vitamin supplements
are encouraged recognizing that deficiency in Vitamin A,
Vitamin E and Pantothenic Acid can lead to acne.
