Preparing Different Home Remedies for Acne

July 7th, 2010

When many people think about natural remedies they think of plants. It is interesting to note that not all plants have curing properties, in fact some plants are considered poisonous and others can cause paralysis. This article will talk about some common plants that can be used to help get rid of your acne. It will also discuss how these remedies should be prepared.

Acne is a disease wherein increased secretion of oil glands in the skin causes some bacteria and microorganisms to be trapped in the pores of our bodies, causing inflammation. The fact that acne can be caused by bacteria has led to some misconceptions; mainly that acne results from a simple lack of frequent bathing. However, research suggests that acne is hereditary meaning you will have a higher chance of developing acne if one or both of your parents have the acne gene. If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you’ve got the acne gene. The only real choice you have is to deal with it.

Some Home Remedies

Remember that plants can be used to help cure and prevent acne. Strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry leaves can be used and are some of the more common home remedies used. To prepare these remedies first you’ll need to have a teapot and a bunch of leaves and hot water. After washing the leaves with running water you put the leaves into the pot and pour hot water on them. Afterwards wait for a few minutes for the leaf extract to mix with the hot water, then you drink the water like tea—it might taste bitter so try adding honey or lemon to improve the taste. Drink these teas on a regular basis to see the effect.

The next home remedy is Aloe Vera extract; this soft and sensitive plant is capable of reducing the chance that acne will form on your skin. To prepare it, you get the extract from aloe leaves and put it in a container, then rub the extract to your face like a facial mask. After 30 minutes you rinse it off. Do this once or twice a day religiously so that you can see the clear skin you desire.

Last in our list is orange and lemon fruit. This fruit is acidic in nature and good for killing bacteria. To use it you need to get the skin of the orange and rub it against the acne. The juice of the fruit should be put into a container and applied to the face like a facial cleanser. As usual do this on regular basis in order to get results.

As is always the case with natural acne home remedies, you’ll need to be persistent to see results. Having clear skin requires the consistent use of a remedy that works for your specific type of acne. Don’t expect to see results in the first day. A little patience mixed with consistency is a good recipe for beating acne.
