Today I want to share 5 different acne treatment options with you. If you suffer from acne you have probably tried all kinds of treatment options. There are the creams, cleansers and even over the counter and prescription medications. But have you also given natural acne treatments a try?.
1) Diet And Hydration
I cannot stress enough how important it is to stay well hydrated. That by itself will improve your skin and your well-being. It is also a good idea to watch your diet and determine what types of foods and drinks are aggravating your acne. Try not to indulge on them (except maybe on rare occasions).
2) The Power Of The Sun
Another very simple but extremely effective thing to do is to stick your face in the sun once a day. Try to get at least 15 minutes of sunshine a day. This will cause your body to make plenty of Vitamin D and it is good for your skin as well.
3) Green Tea
Green tea has been shown to improve acne. The thinking is that the antioxidants and phytonutrients found in this ancient beverage contribute to the improvement. Brew a few cups a day and drink it right away for best results. Do not add any sweetener as this natural preservative will reduce some of the nutrients in the tea ineffective.
4) Tea Tree Oil And Aloe Vera
Combine tea tree oil and aloe vera gel and apply this mixture to your clean face daily. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties and the gel made from the aloe plant will reduce swelling and redness.
5) Vinegar And Baking Soda
These two pantry items may just be your strongest allies in the fight against acne. While you are suffering from an acne breakout, use vinegar like a toner a few times a day. This will do a great job to heal your acne outbreak . Once your face is clear, make a simple paste from baking soda and water and apply it to your face and other areas of your skin where acne occurs. Keep the paste or mask on your face for a good 15 minutes. Remove it with lots of clean water. Use this mask a few times per week. Your acne will likely be greatly reduced because the baking soda does a good job of restoring the ph balance.
