Healthy Ways to Fight Acne

I am going to outline 7 simple ways to get rid of acne naturally and if you follow them as advised, there is no way you cannot get an acne free skin in a very short time.

Honey Mask - Because honey has naturally occurring anti-bacterial qualities it is often applied to the face as a mask, killing surface bacteria. Typically, the mask should be applied once or twice weekly depending upon the results of usage.

Coconut Juice: coconut juice can be used on your skin every day by using it as a cream. This juice helps to bring back the natural look of your skin, and it also helps get rid of any skin infection including acne.

Aspalathus linearis (Rooibos) is an indigenous shrub, which grows exclusively on the slopes of the Cedarberg Mountains in the Western Cape province of South Africa and has been used by traditional healers of the area for centuries. Now known worldwide for its anti-oxidant properties, the soothing effect of Rooibos on the skin is remarkable! It has also been shown to contain valuable health promoting compounds – such as flavanoids.

Garlic is very popular in treating many skin infections including acne scars. Garlic is one of the best acne home remedy out there, and you can apply it directly on your acne by mashing it up very well and then you apply it on the affected part of your body, by dabbing it on the acne scars. By doing this constantly as often as you can you will see your pimple scars fading away in less than a week.

Diet: Your diet plays a very important role in your recovery from acne. You should avoid foods like vegetable oils, chicken Kari, margarine, etc. Eat foods that are high in nutrients.

However, if one already has acne scarring the following natural remedies can help. One thing to do is increase the consumption of lemon juice since citric acid from it will help recover scarring. One can rub rosehip seed oil into problematic areas of skin two times every day.

Wash your face at least twice a day - Washing your face helps remove dirt and grime from the skin pores. However, it is equally important to keep in mind that you must not indulge in excessive washing. This can have an opposite effect and make your skin produce more oil which can aggravate acne.
