As there are several different
types of acne, to find an effective acne home remedy
you may first need to consider what is the cause of
the acne.
Hormonal Acne
Most acne begins in adolescence, when
the sexual organs develop and sex hormones begin to
be produced in greater numbers. It is very often hormone
related.
Girls and women suffering from hormone-related
acne are likely to get many more pimples around their
menstruation time. Try the herbal remedy Agnus Castus
(good for other menstrual problems too) with Echinacea,
which is a herb used to treat all types of acne and
many other skin conditions.
Diet-Related
Acne
Most acne also appears to be related
to diet.
Research has shown that while over 80% of American
teenagers will develop acne, it is almost unknown
in undeveloped countries. However, if a developing
country starts to adopt a Western diet with a high
intake of dairy products, processed foods, white bread,
sugar, saturated fats, etc, acne quickly appears in
that society.
It is hard to know how much of the damage
is done during childhood, but eating plenty of raw
fruits and vegetables and cutting down on sugar and
fatty foods is recommended for all acne sufferers.
Rosacea
|
Rosacea is an inherited skin condition common
among Caucasians with celtic roots (Irish, Scottish
etc). The skin flushes red easily and as the
person grows older, small red thread veins will
appear on the face. A certain type of acne is
often associated with this skin type.
Try to avoid anything that tends to make the
skin flush (red wine and other alcohol,
|
|
hot spicy food, extremes of heat and
cold, etc). Treat pimples with care and do not use
strong commercial acne preparations which are very
drying or acidic. These could permanently damage your
very sensitive skin.
Home Remedies
For All Acne Types
Aloe Vera gel can be very effective
in healing pimples. Aloe Vera is a common indoor plant,
easy to find and to grow. Break open a leaf of the
plant and rub the gel onto the pimples.
Tea Tree is an antiseptic often included
in natural acne remedies. It can be found in creams
and lotions, or you can buy it as an essential oil.
The oil should be diluted before use. Use Tea Tree
on pimples and at the same time, use Echinacea internally
as a tea or in supplement form, for maximum acne control.
Supplements
Consider supplementing vitamin C for
antioxidants, vitamin E to promote fast healing and
reduce scarring, and zinc to boost the body's immune
system, if needed.
Note: zinc supplements should not be
taken in excess. Take a simple zinc taste test to
check that you are deficient before supplementing,
or choose food sources of zinc instead, such as red
meat, peanuts and legumes (peas and beans).
Consult with your doctor before using
any acne home remedy, to check that it is suitable
for you.
