Natural Acne Control - No Harsh Chemicals

Do you want to get rid of the pimples on your face? Silly question right? Of course you do! But you want to do it without spending a fortune on medications and treatments.

To begin with, "what is acne?" Acne is a skin disorder that comes from oils in your pores that comes from your hormones interacting with your skin's sebaceous glands. The oils gather in a pore and lead to congestion of the pore when not properly cleaned. This is when the acne starts forming. If left along, it obviously becomes a pimple. While it is most noticeable to have acne on your face, you may get acne on your back, neck, chest, scalp, back, and shoulders. When severe acne is left untreated, it can lead to other issues like scarring and sometimes psychological problems such as depression. It is much better to deal with your acne today before it escalates to severe.

Acne is often linked to your genetics which there isn't going to be anything you can do about that. However, acne is also attributed to hygiene. This isn't to say that you never shower or you play in the dirt all day long. It just means that you have a situation where your skin accumulates oil and possibly dirt which contributes to acne breakouts. Using the natural solutions below, you will be able to address the hygiene issues.

1. Fruits and Vegetables - Include at least the recommended daily allowance of 4 to 5 servings each day. Fruits and veggies have an amazing impact on the outbreak of acne.

2. Try cleaning your face with Rose Water twice a day to keep your face clear of oils and feeling refreshed.

3. Don't give up when you see a pimple forming. Take control and take action before it is too late. Try patting ice on the swollen location to reduce the swelling and additionally help with the release of the trapped oils in the pores.

4. Multi-vitamins will help get your body's chemistry back into balance. Not only will you live healthier but having your body's chemistry in balance will reduce the hormonal output of your sebaceous glands.

5. Cucumbers - Only this time they aren't to eat. Create a cucumber paste by combining a cucumber with water to make a facial mask. Put it on for about half an hour and rinse off. This is affordable and helps control acne at the same time that it refreshes your skin.

6. Use gentle, mild soaps on your skin. I know it is tempting to use soaps that dry out your skin but then you are just going from one problem to another. Avoid using petroleum based as well as animal based soaps because they will irritate and dry out your skin.

7. Avoid using alcohol based products on your skin, especially your face, because they will dry out your face. Alcohol free is becoming much easier to find these days because alcohol products are so harsh to your skin.

8. All Natural Makeup - Choose your makeup carefully because many makeup brands contain petroleum which will, once again, dry out your skin and that is normally not what the majority of those suffering from acne need. All natural makeup will be much kinder to your skin.

9. Finally, drink plenty of water. Keep your body hydrated to help fight the build-up of dirt and oils on your skin. Instead your body will try to flush those toxins out and leave you feeling better and fresh.

Use the list above and really try it. Always start with the easiest solutions before trying to move into the expensive and invasive treatments. And note that not all illnesses need to be cured with harsh medicines and chemicals, your body will thank you in the long run.
