Useful And Effective Natural Treatment For Acne

By Ronald Barnes


Acne is a skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. These people come from both genders and varying ages, as, unlike what many people believe, the skin condition does not correct itself when the individual moves from the teen years to adulthood. Since it makes the skin unattractive, the condition negatively impacts the self esteem of the individual. Many turn to prescription and over the counter drugs but unfortunately some of these simply do not work or only work for a short time. Additionally some of them have undesirable side effects. This is why many people look for 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 promotes the healing of the skin's epithelial cells when it is used as a topical treatment.The healing action helps to reduce scars created by acne breakouts. The plant has antimicrobial properties which ensure that acne remains at bay.

Another of nature's gifts to the acne sufferer is honey. Honey, like Aloe, has been used for ages to remedy dermatological conditions. The bee produced natural remedy contains antiseptic properties that allow it to get into the pores of the skin and remove bacteria that can cause breakouts. It also promotes healing and moisturizing the skin.

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.

Nature does provide many options when comes to cures for this and other dermatological conditions. It is up to each individual to find the one that works. This may take some time, experimentation and research as each person's skin condition is unique. When the right regimen is found though, the results can be spectacular, making the effort more than worth it.
