Top Secrets To Heal Acne At Home

Do you wish to learn how to get rid of acne fast?

It’s the classic teenage nightmare. You wake up before school screaming your head off, not because something scary is under the bed, but because you have grown a second nose overnight. After turning the lights on, you realize that it is just a huge zit, populating your face with a hundred ugly brothers. You just want to bury your head and stay home.

We’ve all been there, but you don’t have to miss out on your adolescence because of acne. Before you order the expensive and often chemical filled products on the home shopping channel, there are a few easy and safe home remedies that might make it easier to put your best face forward.

Acne is frustrating because the over-production of oil in teenage skin is caused by hormones and can’t exactly be “washed” away. The results of excess oil in the skin can show up as pimples, blackheads or whiteheads, which are extremely sensitive to chemicals and abrasion. Other causes for acne include diet, stress and environmental causes that can be harder to diagnose.

The skin is your largest organ and will reveal stress on its surface. When our bodies are out of balance, the skin can react in a variety of ways that are hard to ignore. Even though teenage acne is largely hormonal, how we deal with emotional stress can also affect our complexions. To be clear and fresh, your skin not only needs cleansing and nourishing but your body and soul also need the same.

Wash, Relax, Repeat

You’ve probably been washing your face every day of your life, but chances are, you’ve been stripping away oil with harsh soaps which only make your glands produce more oil. Over time, these glands under the surface of your skin get overworked and out of whack. Instead of reaching for soap, try these simple remedies for keeping your skin squeaky clean without drying too much:

Steams – steep one tablespoon of dried lavender in a large bowl of hot water, lean over water and tent your head with a towel, let the steam open your pores and cleanse your skin for 10 minutes

Facials – create a paste of baking soda and water and use as an exfoliant or mix 1/4 cup bentonite clay and a little water and apply as facemask for 15 minutes then rinse

Apple Cider Vinegar Splash – mix 1 part vinegar with 10 parts water and apply with a cotton ball after washing your face or anytime you need a little freshening

Essential Oils – mix 3 drops lavender and 2 drops tea tree in a small amount of almond oil and apply to blemishes with a Q-Tip to naturally kill bacteria and soothe skin
