Here are the top 10 home remedies for acne.<br /> <em>You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video</em><br /> (Out of the 10, we have covered 3 highly effective home remedies in this video as well.) <br />
<h2>
1. Baking Soda</h2>
Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate works as a gentle exfoliant for your skin.
Thus, it unplugs the pores and removes dead skin. It also helps
regulate the pH balance of the skin and has mild anti-inflammatory and
antiseptic properties. All these characteristics make it an excellent
home remedy for clearing acne.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Apply a paste of one or two teaspoons of baking soda and a little water. Rinse it off after a few minutes.</li>
<li>You
can also mix together two tablespoons baking soda, one teaspoon
cinnamon powder, the juice of half a lemon, and five tablespoons honey.
Apply it on your face and wash after five minutes.</li>
</ul>
Use baking soda on your skin once or twice a week.<br />
<h2>
2. Oatmeal</h2>
Oatmeal
is beneficial in reducing acne because it cleanses your skin pores and
absorbs excess oil. Plus, it exfoliates your skin.<br />
<ol>
<li>Mix one teaspoon of honey and the juice of half a lemon in a cup of cooked oatmeal.</li>
<li>Rub this mixture over your skin.</li>
<li>Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.</li>
<li>Do this once or twice a week.</li>
</ol>
<h2>
3. Fuller’s Earth</h2>
Fuller’s earth also known as multani mitti is good for greasy and acne-prone skin as it absorbs excess oil
(without over-drying your skin) and unclogs the pores. It helps improve
your complexion too. You can find it at Indian grocery stores.<br />
<ol>
<li>Mix equal proportions of Fuller’s earth (multani mitti), rose water, and sandalwood powder.</li>
<li>Apply this mud pack to your face.</li>
<li>Wash after it dries up.</li>
<li>Repeat the process once a week.</li>
</ol>
<h2>
4. Lemon Juice</h2>
The
acidic property of lemons can be very useful in treating acne. Lemon
will clean out dirt that has accumulated in the pores and will harden
the sebum. You can use it on your skin daily but if it is too drying
then use it every two or three days.<br />
<ul>
<li>Rub a slice of lemon on the affected area and leave it for a few hours before rinsing your face with water.</li>
<li>You can also mix lemon juice with rose water in equal amounts and use the solution to wash the affected area thoroughly.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
5. Toothpaste</h2>
The
toothpaste that you use regularly to clean your teeth can also help
clear up an acne problem. This is in fact one of the easiest home
remedies for acne.<br />
Apply a small amount of white toothpaste on the
affected area before going to bed. The toothpaste will reduce the
swelling and dry out the acne. Within a day or two, you should see
significant improvement.<br />
<h2>
6. Tea Tree Oil</h2>
Another popular natural treatment for acne is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil acts like an antiseptic and disinfects the pores.
In addition, it helps kill the bacteria that cause acne. Just apply
one drop of tree tea oil to the affected area three times a day.<br />
If
the application of undiluted tea tree oil causes skin irritation,
redness, and overdrying then use a 5 percent solution of tea tree oil.<br />

Commonly asked questions about acne scar reduction</h3>
Acne is a very common condition characterized by pimples, blackheads,
whiteheads, pustules and larger nodules and cysts. Acne doesn’t only
affect teenagers but can also affect adults. For many patients, once
these lesions go away, they leave behind discolorations and indentations
on the skin and prevent patients from achieving the clear skin they
desire. Although not harmful, most people are bothered by the
unattractive appearance of these scars and seek treatment to remove or
significantly reduce their appearance.<br />
<br />
Acne scarring is most often caused by larger acne lesions, such as cysts
or nodules, which can swell and rupture, causing a break in the wall of
the individual pore. Infected material from the inflamed lesion can
spill out through this break and can affect the nearby healthy tissue,
leading to the appearance of a scar. The treatment of these scars was
previously challenging. However, there have been amazing technological
advances pioneered by dermatologists at the Wellman Center for
Photomedicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General
Hospital for treating acne scars. Most patients with acne scars can
appreciate significant improvement when treated by someone with the
laser expertise of Dr. Omar Ibrahimi. As each case of acne scarring is
different, we recommend seeking a consultation before determining if you
would be a beneficial candidate. Some patients have depressed acne
scars such as ice pick or box car scars, others have an extremely red
appearance to their scars and some patients developed raised or keloidal
type of scarring.<br />

There are several different approaches to treating acne scars, including
the use of the Fraxel (also know as Fraxel Dual or Fraxel Repair) or
Fractionated laser, an ablative fractional laser such as the eCO2 laser,
the V-beam perfecta laser, or with injectable fillers. Our office is
also one of the few in the country that has the Infini, a fractionated
radiofrequency device, that is safe for treatment in ethnic patients
with skin of color. Our office is unique in that it is one of the few
that possesses the entire spectrum of lasers/devices used to treat acne
scars.<br />

<b>Q: Will laser really help the appearance of my acne scars?<br />
A:</b> Yes, we are just beginning to appreciate the benefits of lasers
in improving the appearance of acne scars. Acne scars come in many
different flavors such as ice-pick scars, box-car scars and keloid
scars. Each entails a slightly different approach and a different
settings with different lasers. It isn’t just about picking the right
laser to be treated with but also seeing someone with the expertise and
know how to approach each individuals’ issues.<br />
<br />
We have several different types of lasers, including the Fraxel Dual,
the Lutronic eCO2, the Lutronic MOSAIC and the Candela Vbeam Perfecta
laser. We also are one of the few offices that has a fractionated
radiofrequency device, the Infini, which allows us to treat Hispanic,
African American and Asian/South Asian patients in a safe yet effective
manner. We choose the best laser or device to address your acne scars as
we have all the options available. When you see an office with just one
of two lasers, they will use a one-size fits all approach which may not
give you the most improvement.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Does laser for acne scar reduction hurt<br />
A:</b> The laser procedure involves a small amount of discomfort. If the
area is small it can usually be numbed up with a shot of numbing
medicine, and topical numbing creams can also be used to reduce the
amount of discomfort. These usually make the treatment tolerable for
most patients.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: How many treatments does it take?<br />
A:</b> The speed at which your acne scars improves depends on a few things:<br />
1) The type of acne scar you have. 2) The level of aggressiveness chosen
to treat the acne scars with. 3) The type of laser/device used. Many
places rent lasers which move around from location to location and
lessen the efficacy of the device. We have several state of the art acne
scar reduction lasers and devices which are not rented or shared by
anyone else. 4) The skill of the laser surgeon. The knowledge and
training level of the laser surgeon enables the patient to receive the
most safe, yet aggressive treatment approach. Do you want someone who
spent years learning how to use lasers to treat you, or do you want
someone who was trained at a weekend course or by a laser company?<br />
<br />
<b>Q: What does it cost to be treated?<br />
A:</b> It is not possible to give a simple answer to this question. It
depends on the size, intensity and type of acne scars and this can only
be evaluated by a consultation. Be wary of those who offer you a bargain
or a lower price. If you need more treatments because the person who is
treating you does not understand laser physics, the “cheaper” treatment
may actually work out to me more expensive than seeing a laser expert
who can optimize the laser settings for you and improve the appearance
of your acne scars faster.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: What types of lasers will my acne scars be treated with?<br />
A:</b> The answer to this question ultimately depends on the appearance
of the acne scar. We have a pulsed dye laser (Vbeam perfecta) which can
help improve the appearance of redness and induce collagen and scar
remodeling. We also have both ablative and nonablative fractionated
lasers (also called Fraxel lasers) that help remodel scars very
effectively. <br />
Our office is also unique in that we have an Infini device, which
uses radiofrequency energy and thus can be used safely even in the
darkest skin types. No other office in the state has the state of the
art technology and a physician with world class knowledge to treat your
acne scars.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: I read about the Picosure laser being used to treat acne scars?<br />
A:</b> The jury remains out on this question. To date there has only
been a single small study done in one office that suggested that the
Picosure laser could be used to treat acne scars. The gold standard to
treat acne scars remains the Fraxel laser.<br />

<h4>
Step 1: Why should I care, won't pimples just go away once I'm 20?</h4>
Common thinking seems to be that acne is simply a hardship of
adolescence. Once you've established your independence, realized your
parents are probably good people, and stopped listening to music too
loud, they're supposed to go away. Perhaps pimples are just some sort
of physical marking to help society isolate members during their most
awkward phase of development?<br />
<br />
Studies of various human cultures across the globe and my own experience
indicate this is simply false. I'm 10 years past being a teenager, and
will occasionally still get a pimple. More convincing perhaps, studies
of non-westernized cultures that follow a traditional diet low in
refined sugars and starches show a complete lack of acne in all age
groups. Here's once such study found <a href="http://thepaleodiet.com/published_research/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.
Similar reports can be found in the journals of pioneers and explorers
who were among the first Europeans to contact indigenous peoples: no
pimples, no acne.</div>
<div class="fl title-wrapper">
<h4 class="step-title">
Step 2: Keep your insulin levels low</h4>
<div class="step-title">
The (simplified) theory is that elevated levels of insulin cause pimples
to form. Insulin is a hormone that is released in response to eating,
and tells your cells to take in sugar from the blood (glucose) and store
it for later use. Insulin has a tremendous number of other, down-steam
effects on the body, many of which are not well understood. One of
the effects of higher-than-normal levels of insulin is an increase in
insulin-like growth factor-1, which shifts the body's endocrine balance
and promotes acne (check <a href="http://thepaleodiet.com/articles/Hyperinsulinemic%20Diseases%20Final.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>
for a paper on this in the Journal of Comparative Biochemistry and
Physiology). Insulin is commonly associated with diabetes, where the
body becomes desensitized to the hormone and progressively more and more
is required to keep blood-sugar levels in check. <br />
<br />
Insulin
levels and blood-sugar levels are closely related (diabetics measure
their blood-sugar levels to determine if they need to inject insulin),
and blood-sugar levels are controlled directly by what you eat. Sugary
and starchy foods, like table sugar, potatoes, and bread, can raise
blood-sugar levels quickly for relatively small portions. Fruits and
vegetables act to raise blood-sugar levels more slowly and to a lesser
degree because they contain different types of sugars (typically
fructose instead of sucrose) and lower quantities of sugar for the same
portion size. Meats, fats, and other non-carbohydrate containing foods
have little influence on blood-sugar levels. <br />
<br />
So, preventing acne is a matter of eating right to keep your insulin levels low. <br />
<br />
Take
note that there is a fundamental difference in this approach compared
to other acne-remedies. Keeping insulin levels low addresses the root
cause of acne while most other techniques (salicylic acid to remove dead
skin cells more readily, antibiotics to kill the infecting bacteria, or
birth-control pills to regulate hormonal levels) treat only the
symptoms. </div>
<h4 class="step-title">
Step 3: How to choose the best foods</h4>
<div class="step-title">
Here's the simplified form: Eat fresh healthy food, and avoid processed and refined garbage. <br />
<br />
For
a more nuanced approach, you can check out the glycemic index and
glycemic load of various foods. The glycemic index is a ranking of
carbohydrates on how they effect your blood-sugar levels, i.e. how
readily your body converts the components of a certain type of food to
glucose. The glycemic load takes into account the type of carbohydrate
in addition to how much is in a standard portion of various foods. If
you're going to refer to just one measurement, go for glycemic load as
it is a better measurement of your body's actual response. The
University of Sydney has a <a href="http://www.glycemicindex.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">glycemic index and load database</a> you can use to check out your favorite foods. Here's a sample of some foods:<br />
<br />
Food - Glycemic load <br />
Apple - 5.9<br />
Banana - 10 <br />
Broccoli - 0<br />
Brown rice - 31.5 <br />
Cola - 17<br />
Pizza (range) - 5-28<br />
<br />
Booklets
with this information are available, but when you're getting food it's
much easier to simply remember to eat fresh fruits, fresh vegetables,
lean meats, and seafood and to avoid basing your diet on anything that
comes in a cardboard box. I've also heard it said this way: shop only
from the edges of the supermarket -- the center isn't good for you.</div>
<h4 class="step-title">
Step 4: Personal experience</h4>
<div class="step-title">
Your results will vary. Your body is a complicated machine, and there
are lots of inputs and effects. Some people can process lots of sugar
and starch without any effect, while others will get pimples just
thinking about candy. Exercise also plays a role, as it makes you more
insulin sensitive, which is a good thing.
<br />
<br />
My personal experience seems to fall pretty squarely into this
theory. I eat really well and have fairly clear skin. However, at
certain events like birthdays or weddings, I just can't resist
overeating refined sugar and starch, and inevitably end up with a pimple
or two. For example, my last birthday party involved a seven-layer
carrot cake, of which I ate an entire slice (the equivalent of nearly a
half a normally sized carrot cake). This resulted in a few pimples over
the next week.
<br />
<br />
Similarly, a friend would refuse to eat any pizza. He had
determined, through trial and error, that a few slices of pizza would
result in zits. </div>
<h4 class="step-title">
Step 5: Start with breakfast</h4>
<div class="step-title">
To give this a try, start by modifying your breakfast. You're probably
already eating more refined and processed foods for breakfast than you
care to admit. Also, if you're embarrassed, breakfast has the fewest
number of people that will be asking why you've changed your diet. <br />
<br />
Eggs (especially egg-whites) are great for breakfast:<br />
Tomato Frittata<br />
Orange Fried Breakfast<br />
Fruit smoothies are another quick and easy breakfast:<br />
Plum smoothie<br />
Nectarine smoothie<br />
Apple ginger smoothie<br />
or even faster:<br />
apples and nut butter<br />
ants on a log (celery, peanut butter, and raisins)<br />
left-overs from the night before...<br />
<br />
I'm
not overly strict in my approach, and I don't think there's any need to
go to ridiculous extremes, like eliminating carbohydrates altogether. I
think the best approach is to base your diet on things you know are
good for you, and to eat processed and refined foods infrequently. </div>

left with mild or disfigured scars. Acne may leave redness (on lighter

mark (on deeper skin tones). Even without picking, acne lesions,
particularly cysts, can lead to scarring because of the intense,
collagen-damaging skin inflammation with which they are associated.
People often use topical skin care products and medications to improve
and remove acne scars. But, in most cases these scars requires a
combination of surgical procedures and skin resurfacing. There are three
varieties of acne scars: Boxcar shaped, Atrophic (mostly shallow) and
Ice-pick shape (narrow and deeper).<br />

WHAT MAKES ACNE WORSE?</h4>
</div>
The acne gets worse if not taken care of. The following are some reasons which can worsen your acne:<br />

HOW TO PREVENT ACNE SCARS</h4>
Preventing recurrence of acne lesions is the best way to prevent post-inflammatory changes in your skin. Acne scars can be controlled by understanding various factors such as the root cause of acne, white and black heads, direct sun exposure and more. When you got pimples on your skin, you’d better don’t give any stimulus to them. Just leaving them naturally would be the best. If you have an important appointment next day, just apply a spot treatment containing the calming ingredient instead of squeezing them.<br />
<br />
<h4>
WAYS TO REMOVE ACNE SCARS</h4>
Early acne scars can be healed by the use of some simple practices such as applying good sunscreen lotion protects the skin for further damage; avoid picking scabs which acts as a protective layer to the healing process. Using creams or gels with the appropriate formulation of AHA, BHA and tretinoin speed up the healing and remodeling process. There are also some chemical methods like dermal fillers, punch excision with skin graft treatment, punch elevation, subcutaneous incision and laser re-surfacing to treat acne scars.<br />

<span style="color: #333333;">Surprising Natural Remedies for Acne that Work Better Than Over-the-Counter Treatments</span></div>
<div class="entry-title" itemprop="headline">
<br /></div>
There are many options for all natural remedies for acne. So, how do you choose which ones to try?<br />
The ones I have included in my list of the top 10 all natural
remedies for acne, are ones that I have found to work the best and are
the most powerful! Everyone is different, and it may require some
experimentation to find what works best for you! But most importantly,
don’t give up!<br />
<br />
After having acne for many years, I have tried nearly every possible
remedy and treatment. I even, hate to say it, tried prescription
treatments. But, the funny thing is, after trying everything, I found
the natural remedies for acne have worked the best! Seriously!<br />

<br />
My acne started around age 13 and only progressed to get worse! My
mother always told me, just wait until after high school, it will get
better. But those years came and went with no change. Then, I had hoped
by the end of college I would definitely be better, but yep, you guessed
it, four years later, it was only worse!<br />
All through high school and college, I searched for years trying to
find help, but nothing seemed to work. It didn’t seem fair because for
some people, they improved with age. This is because acne it seems is
sometimes just a temporary occurrence due to changes in hormones, but
for me and many others that isn’t the case!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Causes of Acne Your Doctor Will Never Tell You!</h3>
<b>1. First of all, don’t trust anyone!</b> By this I mean
doctors and dermatologists will tell you that diet doesn’t matter,
natural remedies for acne don’t work, that it’s just hormones and
there’s nothing you can do but take their prescriptions. But, that’s not
true!<br />
<b>2. What you eat matters!</b> It so important to watch what
you’re putting into your body. Avoid all processed foods, eat real foods
and make sure to get enough fats into your diet, such as avocados and
coconut oil. According to Natural News, Dairy can be a problem and this should be avoided, along with refined sugar.<br />
<b>3. Get a blood test!</b> Test your blood for vitamins and
nutrients to make sure you aren’t deficient in anything. Here are a few
main ones to make sure you include; vitamin A and zinc. Also, it may be a
good idea to check your thyroid and your hormone levels (progesterone
and testosterone).<br />
<b>4. Allergens!</b> Your acne may be a result of an allergy.
Determine if there are any possible allergens that may be causing your
acne, such as gluten, which may reduce the amount of nutrients absorbed.
Other common allergens are dairy, yeast and eggs. Delayed food allergies may affect you especially if you have a leaky gut.<br />

<h4>
10 Best All <a href="http://whatbest-acnetreatment.blogspot.com/">Natural Remedies for Acne</a>:</h4>
<b>1. Baking Soda</b>- This is my absolute favorite natural
remedy for acne! Surprisingly, I only discovered baking soda masks a
couple of years ago, and oh boy, is this stuff powerful at clearing
skin! Baking soda not only helps eliminate breakouts and reduces
inflammation, it is also an exfoliator and helps remove dead skin cells!
Because of this, it also works great to reduce any old scars or acne
marks. To use it, just take a few teaspoons of baking soda and mix it
with warm water until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to your skin.
You may want to leave it on for only 10 to 15 minutes the first few
times as it may feel powerful. You can gradually increase the time up to
an hour or even leave it on overnight (which is what I do). After one
use you can see a great difference in your skin.<br />
<b>2. Apple Cider Vinegar</b>- This natural remedy for acne is
another powerful one, it has both antibacterial and antifungal
properties. To start out, you may want to dilute a few teaspoons with
half water or ¼ water as it can be quite powerful when applied directly
to your skin. Make sure to use apple cider vinegar that’s raw, unfiltered and labeled as “with the mother”, which has the most nutrients.<br />
<b>3. Coconut Oil</b>- Coconut oil is antibacterial and
antifungal. Coconut oil is also extremely moisturizing and gentle. It
helps fight the bacteria and reduce redness. Apply the coconut oil to
your skin and massage it in. You can reapply a couple times per day.
With coconut oil, there is no need to ever use a moisturizer again, it
works so well and doesn’t clog your pores. For optimal benefit, use organic coconut oil that is unrefined.<br />
<b>4. Tea Tree Oil</b>- Tea tree oil is an essential oil and
can be a very powerful all natural remedy for acne, as it is
antibacterial. To apply it, mix a small amount of tea tree oil
with an equal amount of water. Dip a cotton ball into the mixture and
apply it to your skin. You can reapply throughout the day or leave it on
under your makeup.<br />
<b>5. Egg Whites</b>- For this, I’m not talking about eating
them, they make a great natural remedy for acne when used as a facial
mask! Egg whites reduce the oil and minimize your pores in addition to
drawing out impurities. To use it, separate the egg white from the yolk,
use a cotton ball or you can use your fingers to apply the egg white to
your skin. After a few minutes you’ll start to feel it tighten, you can
leave it on anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Afterwards, your skin
will have an amazing glow!<br />
<b>6. Lemon Juice</b>- For this one, you can either use lemon
juice or a fresh squeezed lemon. Lemons have natural antibacterial and
astringent properties to help clear your skin. Apply the lemon juice to
your skin and leave on for 15 minutes to an hour.<br />
<b>7. Garlic</b>- Not only is garlic a great natural
antibacterial when ingested, it also works great topically. To use it,
take a clove of garlic and thinly slice it. Rub the slices on your skin,
particularly any problem areas, making sure the juice of the garlic is
applied. Leave on for 15 minutes to 30 minutes.<br />
<b>8. Ice Cubes</b>- Rub an ice cube on problem areas to help
reduce inflammation. Not only, does the cold close your pores it also
forces the bacteria out. You can also splash your face with cold water
to achieve similar affects.<br />
<b>9. Cornstarch</b>- Cornstarch is very soothing and gentle.
This is a great natural remedy for acne when you have a lot of redness
or irritation. You can apply the cornstarch to your individual breakouts
or to your whole face. Sometimes I leave it on overnight and find a
huge difference in the morning!<br />
<b>10. Aloe</b>- Aloe is very soothing and reduces
inflammation and redness. To use it, apply the gel to your skin with
your fingers, you can apply it several times a day. If you have an aloe
plant, it would be even better as you get the aloe fresh, without any
added ingredients. Or you could also just get an organic aloe gel, I use
this kind.<br />
<br />
I still continue to use these natural remedies for acne. Typically, I
use the baking soda mask and coconut oil once a day. My skin is now
clearer. However, if I have an unusually stressful week or stop using
baking soda for a few weeks, I may get a breakout.<br />
No matter what the cause is, there’s no time like the present to try
these natural remedies for acne and try to improve your skin to the best
it can be. The good news is there’s a lot to try!<br />
