Five natural products provide uncommon protection against ongoing problems with acne. They are easy to use, they are easy to find, they don’t cost very much, and in some cases, they work even better than the most common medications. Here are the five best acne natural treatments you need to know to care for your skin the right way.
Neem oil soaps soothe sensitive skin. They stop redness and inflammation more completely than any other acne natural treatments. They are also useful when acne occurs with eczema, contact dermatitis, or psoriasis.
Rooibos is a refreshing red tea from South Africa. Used a treatment for acne and boils for centuries, it releases its maximum amount of antioxidants when it is brewed for a full ten minutes in a teapot or other closed container. You can also rinse your skin with rooibos or use it as a toner.
Tea tree oil is almost as effective as benzoyl peroxide for controlling acne bacteria, but its real usefulness stems from the effects it has that benzoyl peroxide does not. Tea tree oil stops redness, itching, and inflammation while it kills bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide sometimes increases itching and inflammation by peeling the skin.
Calendula is the herb to use when acne hurts. Calendula not only kills acne and staph bacteria, it has about the same analgesic power as aspirin, delivering pain relief directly to the skin. A combination of tea tree oil cream and calendula offers better anti-bacterial protection than any prescription medication for acne. And, finally:
Got milk?
Drinking milk does not help your skin. Milk-based facials, however, are a great way to lift dead skin from acne-affected pores. You could simply wash your face with milk, let it dry and set for about 30 minutes, and then wash off the milk mask with warm water, patting skin dry. Or you could make masks from milk and honey (which is antiseptic), milk and cucumber puree (which is moisturizing), or just lather up a milk based soap to lather up and soap the skin for about 5 minutes, before washing off with warm water and patting skin dry.
Acne sufferers around the world can agree on one thing: No one treatment works best for everyone. With these five natural treatments, however, you minimize your effort to achieve maximum results for acne-free skin.
