Homemade Acne Treatment, Acne Skin Treatments

Maintaining diet rich in these essential vitamins such as vegetables and fruits will certainly avert, and perhaps, in the process will do a great deal in treating acne. Over-the-counter acne treatment products have greatly advanced and for the most part they work well.

What deters some from using “branded” acne products are the line up of chemical contents which can cause irritation and further skin problems. The effectiveness of homemade acne treatments is still doubted.

This despite the fact that a check of the formulation of acne popular treatments would reveal that most contain substances found in common vegetables and fruits.

It is worth noting though that like all skin treatments -- even the best acne doctor medicine prescriptions -- works differently in different people in different acne cases.

Homemade acne treatments fall in the category of acne alternative treatments. As such, an acne-stricken person has all the options.

For one, cleaning the skin with lemon is an effective acne skin treatment. The citric acid in lemon has properties that can kill harmful bacteria present in acne. A paste of orange peels also cleanses the skin and fights harmful bacteria.

Oatmeal, prepared as facial mask (thick paste of oatmeal and water) can absorb oil from the skin. This can be done for 10 to 20 minutes twice in a day (morning and evening).

Also excellent combinations for a mask are grated apple with honey, and a combo of egg white, a few drops of witch hazel and lemon juice.

Raw papayas, with its papain enzyme, “dissolves” oil residue that clogs the pores and can help lighten the skin.

Same goes for a toner made from mint juice which can remove skin lesions and scars.

“Eat some and apply some” goes for tomatoes. Tomato juice extract works wonders for oily skin. Early on the healing, tomato can minimize the appearance of acne scars.

Mature acnes can be applied on the spot with garlic, which works wonderfully because of its high anti-bacterial properties. Regular applications of tea tree oil, coconut oil, lavender oil and jojoba oil before bathing for an hour can reduce acne.

Doing it the “home way” is akin to a clinical regimen. There are procedures involved at they require a strict adherence to schedule. Until good results are achieved, have the will.
