Acne Help is Possible

Acne Help is Possible
Acne is a problem that many people have to face at some
point in their lifetime. It causes a lot of problems for
individuals, from embarrassment to permanent scarring and
it can affect you at any time during your life. More often
than not, however, this particular disease seems to strike
during adolescence. This creates another problem as it is
during the time in your life when things seem to be the
most awkward. Along with that, other adolescents do not
display much mercy for those that suffer from this problem.

Most people associate acne with a problem that people have
on their face but the fact of the matter is that it can
affect any area of your body. Even though the face is most
common, acne can also appear on the back, arms, legs and
chest area. Most people rush to the dermatologist as soon
as this problem occurs, seeking a cure. While the
dermatologist may be able to give you a prescription or
perhaps recommend some kind of drugstore treatment, most
people would prefer a natural remedy that took care of the
problem from the root and did not simply treat the outward
symptoms.

All of us are different, and as individuals we may be
suffering from a case of acne for different reasons than
others. That is why it is very important for you to
understand what is at the root of the problem and not
simply try to treat it the same way as somebody else has
treated their own. Even though this is the case, there are
some natural acne treatments that seem to help in most
cases. Not only can you apply topical treatments, you may
be able to take some herbal remedies that will help to get
rid of the acne that you're suffering from. Here are a few
of the more popular natural acne treatments.

Vinegar and Salt Water - Many people, myself included, have
experienced relief from their acne by taking a solution of
50% vinegar and 50% salt water. You would dab this on the
affected areas with a cotton ball and allow it to sit on
your skin and dry for about 10 minutes. Rinse off the
solution and repeat three times a day.

Wear a Honey Mask - Honey has natural antibacterial
properties that have helped many people to be able to
overcome an active breakout. Simply apply natural, raw
honey to your face several times a week or mix it with salt
water and apply on a daily basis. This will not only help
to dry your skin, it will help to work on the acne from the
inside out.

One final way that people have been able to overcome their
acne problems is through the use of herbal supplements.
There are several different herbs that you could be taking
in order to help balance your body and treat the acne from
the root cause. You could take all of these supplements
separately but I often find that going with a
multi-supplement treatment is much more convenient and more
effective because you're less likely to skip a dose. `
