Acne Home Remedies

There are many acne home remedies to help you get rid of acne. Some are really effective, some are not… some are dietary supplements and some are just recommending the newest and “greatest” face lotion or cream. I have spent several years learning about skin, acne and health in relation to skin. I had acne on and off for a 5 year period and it was something I struggled with all the time. The great thing about having acne for about 5 years is that you get to learn a lot about skin and how to get rid of acne. I tried everything from proactiv (horrible) to vitamin e which still didn’t work.

I read about vitamins, healthy skin, how to get rid of acne naturally and everything in between. I discovered a lot during this period and in this article I will share a few home remedies for acne that should help you make the journey to clearer skin a shorter trip! The first thing that I recommend that all people that have acne start doing is to drink more water. If you have acne you are more than likely dehydrated. How do I know this? I had acne and I didn’t drink enough water when I had acne but then when I started drinking more water my face would clear up more. You should be drinking 50% of your body weight in ounces of water each day. This should be clean and pure drinking water, spring or purified water! no tap water! The reason you shouldn’t be drinking tap water is because metals, fluoride, pharmaceutical drugs and more have been found in tap water. we don’t want to put any of these in our bodies so stick to healthy and pure water.

Once you are drinking enough water you can begin to use the right products that will begin to cure your acne. One of the biggest mistakes I made when i had acne was using treatments that everyone else was using that obviously weren’t working and never will. Products like proactiv, clean and clear and all the other junk that supposedly works but we all know doesn’t after using them. By using these products my skin took longer to heal and they were too harsh on my skin. You can only reduce your acne by about 20% by using these types of products because you are not treating the internal cause of your acne. The chemicals in these products along with the unbalanced ingredients cause problems for your skin. Now that I know benzoyl peroxide slows down the skins healing process and is a toxic chemical I don’t use proactiv. These products which you can get at your local store are nothing but toxic bottles of chemicals and I recommend that you don’t use any of them. Instead use all natural products and ingredients that work to give your skin nutrition and health in order to bring it back into balance. This is what will clear up your skin and heal your acne much quicker.
