Acne Cure

Product Description

Acne starts when the pores in your skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Each pore is connected to a sebaceous gland, which produces an oily substance called sebum. Extra sebum can plug up pores, causing the growth of a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes. Your white blood cells attack P. acnes, leading to skin inflammation and acne. Some cases of acne are more severe than others, but common symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.

Powerful Home Remedies for Acne

• Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting an estimated 85% of people at some point in their lives.
• Conventional acne treatments can be expensive and often have undesirable side effects like dryness, redness and irritation.
• This has prompted many people to look into how to cure acne naturally at home.

Moisturize With Aloe Vera:

Aloe vera is a tropical plant whose leaves produce a clear gel. The gel is often added to lotions, creams, ointments and soaps. It’s commonly used to treat abrasions, rashes, burns and other skin conditions When applied to the skin, aloe vera gel can help heal wounds, treat burns and fight inflammation. Aloe vera also contains salicylic acid and sulfur, which are both used extensively in the treatment of acne. Several studies have shown that applying salicylic acid to the skin significantly reduces acne. Similarly, applying sulfur has been proven to be an effective acne treatment.

Reduce Stress

The hormones released during periods of stress may increase sebum production and skin inflammation, making acne worse. In fact, multiple studies have linked stress to an increase in acne severity. What’s more, stress can slow wound healing by up to 40%, which may slow the repair of acne lesions. Certain relaxation and stress-reduction treatments have been shown to improve acne, but more research needs to be done.

• Ways to Reduce Stress
• Get more sleep
• Engage in physical activity
• Practice yoga
• Meditate
• Take deep breaths

Exercise Regularly

Exercise promotes healthy blood circulation. The increase in blood flow helps nourish the skin cells, which may help prevent and heal acne. Exercise also plays a role in hormone regulation. Several studies have shown that exercise can decrease stress and anxiety, both of which are factors that can contribute to the development of acne.

Lavender

As you probably guessed, lavender is all about calming. “If you have redness,  you can incorporate lavender to reduce it and calm the skin,” says Scoggins. “It’s also great on the senses; it helps with relaxation and creates a little zen moment.”

Chamomile

“Chamomile is another herb that’s really great for cleansing the skin,” Scoggins explains. He advises mixing it with natural clays and oatmeal to create a calming facial buff—or look for it in an all-natural cleanser.

Geranium

If your breakouts are of the blackhead variety, look for geranium in your skin-care products. “Geranium oil helps to slow down the effects of aging and regulate your oil production,” says Scoggins. That’s key because, as he explains, blackheads “pop up when you have an overproduction of oil and clogged pores.”

Tea tree oil:

Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, which means that it might kill P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne.

 Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is a natural, waxy substance extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub. The waxy substances in jojoba oil may help to repair damaged skin, which means it may also help speed up wound healing, including acne lesions. Some of the compounds in jojoba oil might help to reduce skin inflammation, which means it may reduce redness and swelling around pimples, whiteheads, and  other inflamed lesions.

Honey

Honey has been used to treat skin conditions, such as acne, for thousands of years. It contains many antioxidants that can help to clear waste and debris from clogged pores. Doctors use honey in wound dressings because of its antibacterial and wound-healing properties.

Garlic

Many traditional medicine practitioners use garlic to treat infections and boost the body’s ability to fight germs and infections. Garlic contains organosulfur compounds, which have natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Organosulfur compounds can also help to boost the immune system, which helps the body fight infections.
