Home Remedies That Treat Acne

Home remedies are among some of the best treatments for acne. Prescription acne medications can scar and have ugly side-effects if not used appropriately.

There are several natural home remedies for acne that you either have in your own kitchen or you can get from the health food store inexpensively. Just because these home remedies are considered natural treatments for acne, does not mean that you should be less cautious than you would be with prescription acne medications or over-the-counter acne products.

Garlic

Garlic is one of natures strongest antibiotics and used externally by cutting open a clove of garlic and rubbing it on the problem area. People told me that it doesn't burn but it did. What did work better for me was to crush the garlic clove and mix it with half a cup of hot water in a pan. Soak a clean wash cloth in the solution and then apply to the affected areas only. This should within a few days unclog infected pores. It is smelly and should be done before bed so you can wash it off the next morning.

Teatree Oil

Teatree oil usually costs about $9-$12 for an 8 to 12 oz bottle and it works wonders on the skin leaving a very refreshing feeling behind because you can actually feel it working by cleaning the pores of your skin. I recommend that you dilute it with water first before attempting to use it at full strength. The idea is to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin as anything that leaves extreme discomfort is not good for your skin.

Fasting

Possibly the best home remedy is fasting. Why? because it does several things at once. It cleans out your digestive tract which is where candia (yeast) likes to grow. This nasty parasite gives off toxic "poop" which can make it's way to your skin and block your pores. Fasting is also good for removing alot of these horrible toxins from your body quickly.
