Easily Available Natural Treatment For Acne

By Ronald Barnes


Acne is a dermatological condition that affects people of all races. It does not discriminate by gender, and contrary to what most persons are taught, it does not always go away after the teen years. Additionally, breakouts or the related scars on the body can affect the self esteem of the individual. Many of the prescription and over the counter medication for the condition have side effects that are undesirable and sometimes they simply do not work. This is why so many people seek a natural treatment for acne.

Acne treatments found in nature, just like their pharmaceutical counterparts, can be topical or oral. The oral versions are really dietary recommendations that also have other health benefits. Among these recommendations is the inclusion of fruits and vegetables in the diet. Fruits and vegetables help the body by providing the vitamins and minerals that help to keep this skin ailment at bay.

One of the most popular, effective and yet underutilized methods of improving skin health is to hydrate the body. Water is one of the most easily accessible natural resources that can be used to resolve dermatological conditions. It helps to reduce dryness which invited breakouts. It also flushes unwanted toxins away, reducing the likelihood of them making their way to the skin's surface layers to cause pimples. The water that is consumed though, should not be laden with additives.

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's antimicrobial properties make it great for the controlling of pimples and cysts on the skin. The moisturizing and skin nourishing nature of the substance also make it great for improving the overall health of the skin. It is these two functions that make it such a popular remedy.

Honey also makes a great remedy for skin conditions. Just like Aloe Vera, it has been used for centuries to ensure that pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and other similar types of breakouts are avoided. Honey has astringent, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. When used topically it helps to reduce scarring. Another feature is shares with Aloe is its moisturizing property.

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.

Simple solutions are available for those who suffer from this and other dermatological conditions. The ingredients are often in the kitchen of health enthusiasts anyway and for others they may be in the backyard growing. Some amount of research and experimentation may be needed though, as each individual's skin is unique.
