Using Homemade Acne Treatments

By Jane Snurtl

Acne is a very common plague which is detrimental to innumerable teenagers, and in many cases, adults' appearances. In reality, an average of 20 to 40% of adults are inflicted with acne. Despite being such a common annoyance, its causes are rarely understood. The key cause of acne is the existence of sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells within the pores. Homemade acne treatments are a very useful weapon in fighting the ongoing battle against acne.

Besides negatively affecting a person's looks, acne can be painful and then leave scars on the skin. This not only affects the outward appearance of the person, but also how they perceive their self and their self-confidence. Obviously, acne is not something most people would want to live with.

Mainstream media commercials and different advertising from large companies can leave you confused about the best way to fight your acne. Many products make outlandish promises that they can rarely live up to. To top it off, a lot of these products are outrageously expensive. In some cases, a brand of acne medicine will lower the intensity of the acne but will not remove it completely.

Using Benzoyl Peroxide, ProActive is an excellent acne cure. Without need of a prescription, ProActive can effectively reduce and eliminate acne on a person's face. It is packaged with a renewing cleanser, a revitalizing toner, and a repairing lotion. It is also widely available from many local stores.

Accutane is an acne treatment, suited to those with severe and recurring acne. It is only available by a prescription, due to the side effects of abnormalities during birth, dry and cracked lips, and, in some cases, liver dysfunction.

Retin-A is useful, not merely for treating acne, but for reducing scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, skin discoloration, and other blemishes related to the skin. A prescription is required to obtain Retin-A.

If you do not wish to use chemicals, different oils could be the best acne treatment for you. Tea tree oil, Bergamot oil, Clove oil, Lavender oil, and Rosewood oil all are effective acne scar remedies. These treat more mild to moderate cases of acne.

These essential oils are a great place to start in treating acne, yet the cheapest and safest way to evade acne is homemade acne treatments. They are made from things that are commonly found throughout the home. Usual ingredients include: garlic, lemon juice, and cinnamon. By many, homemade acne treatments are considered the best way to clear your face and keep it clear.
