Acne – Treat Your Skin Effectively
Your skin is the mirror to your beauty and so you should nourish it effectively to have an acne-free skin. Apart from washing your face regularly, there are several other methods that will help you to lead a healthy life devoid of acne and acne scars. Having a flawless skin not only enhances your beauty but also enriches the self-confidence within you. So if you are facing from some extreme conditions of acne, then take some extra care to cure acne so that it fails to leave its scar permanently on your face and body.
Do not use any product or undergo any treatment without asking your dermatologist. As a homemade natural remedy, you should wash your face regularly to remove plugs from your skin pore, which might contain a mishmash of sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells. However, if neither of the homemade or natural products is suiting your skin texture, then you should undergo any of the following treatments of your choice.
Prescriptive medication
One of the most popular drugs for controlling acne is Isotretinoin [Accutane]. It is one of the most potent acne remedies that can virtually eliminate the entire problem of acne and acne scars. Use less quantity of this medicine as excess of it may result in headaches, nauseating tendencies, hair loss, and muscle pains and itching. For inflamed acne, you can use topical antibiotics like tretinoin, retinoid etc. Non-inflammatory acne can be treated with benzoyl peroxide, azelaic, salicylic acid and topical retinoid. However, women with virilization can treat severe acne by taking contraceptive pills along with cyproterone.
Herbal remedies
Herbal acne treatments are one of the best ways to reduce acne as it works naturally. Herbal acne treatments make use of various Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese and Ayurvedic medicines to produce a huge range of medicines like Pulsatilla, Hepar sulfuricum and Kali bichromicum to treat acne. You can also use other herbal medicines like black currant seed oil, evening primrose oil, calendula, tea tree oil, goldenseal, Echinacea, lavender, chamomile, cnidium seeds, honeysuckle flowers in combination with nettles and cleavers tincture to free your skin from acne.
Vitamin and supplement diets
Acne can be reduced if you follow a balanced diet and avoid fat-free food and deep-fried items. Apart from the balanced diet, you should take vitamins that can prevent acne and enrich the glow in your skin. These range of vitamins include 30-50 mg of zinc, chromium supplements, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin-E. Eat foods that are high in beta-carotene such as carrots, cantaloupe, green leafy vegetables and yellow-orange fruits.
Ayurvedic treatments
Acne can be reduced effectively through Ayurvedic treatments that include a diet with plenty of bland foods such as oatmeal, basmati rice, and applesauce. Try to completely eliminate spicy foods and citrus fruits to get better results. You can also drink tea by combining 0.5 teaspoons of cumin, coriander, and fennel in a tea ball and dipping it in hot water for 10 minutes. Strain and drink the tea regularly after breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Acne is curable. So take proper care to reduce acne effectively and instantly.

Natural ways to treat acne prone skin effectively…?
I have switched to all natural skin care regimen. I have been using the oil cleansing method with jojoba oil/almond oil and sometimes olive oil, followed by some hot steam. I then use tea tree bar soap. I finish it all with Witch Hazel/Aloe toner and Shea Butter Lotion. I do an olive oil/sugar scrub once a week.
My skin has calmed down significantly, but I still have blemishes around the hairline by my temples and underneath my chin. The acne is just on the surface and they are red spots, they’re not deep or with whiteheads or anything…so that’s a good sign. My forehead, nose and cheeks have cleared up and the pores are clean. But I am still having issues with the other areas. I have been doing this cleaning regime for about a month. I am sometimes tempted to go back to chemical products…but I won’t, because it made my skin 100 times worse…so I know this is the best way.
Does anyone know of some other effective tricks? And also any tricks for the dark spots/scars left by acne? Thanks!

Wow! It sounds like you are doing a great job with your skin.
I understand you want to go natural, but there are spas which do laser treatments to get rid of brown acne scars and can really help new acne. It is expensive.
You might just want to continue your treatment and see if you are happy in a month.

Detergents found in regular soap are one of the worst causes and it sounds like you are already on your way with some of the natural alternatives. One more to try which is cost effective and very good is using Oats..If you put these in a stocking and tie it up tight it will lather like soap and is good for your skin (doesn dry it out)
Also try avoiding any excess oils to the face are from touching or rubbing or cosmetics.
Hope this helps you
