Natural remedies for acne remain the best treatments for blemished skin. Modern science can detect planets around distant stars. It provides Internet connections fast enough to download the entire Library of Congress in a single second. But does modern science have a reliable treatment for common acne?
No such luck!
Fortunately, natural remedies for acne are usually enough, and they are dramatically less expensive than mainstream medicine. Here are the top ten tips for natural acne care.
1. Wash your face once or twice a day, but not more. The one predisposing factor for acne that most people overlook is over-washing. Washing the skin too often dries it out, and dry skin can accumulate around pores.
Unless you need to remove visible dirt, grease, or grime you pick up during the day, don’t wash more often than once in the morning and once in the evening.
2. Pat your face dry after washing. Don’t rub your face dry with a towel. Rubbing your face damages the delicate linings of pores. This traps oil inside and sets up your skin to become an acne factory.
Pat you skin dry after you rinse off cleanser with warm water-and be sure to use a clean towel. You don’t want to put dirt, oil, and bacteria right back on your skin as soon as you wash them off.
3. Wash your face with warm water, not hot, and not cold. Hot water dries out your skin, and as explained above, dry skin can accumulate around pores. Cold water shocks you skin so that pores tighten up. Always rinse cleanser off your face with warm water, and don’t spend more than 5 minutes in a hot shower.
4. Never, ever use abrasive soap. Lava soap, in particular, crushes pores rather than cleaning them out. Damaged pores quickly become pimples.
5. Just say no to blackhead popping. Squeezing blackheads usually doesn’t get the blackhead out. It does, however, usually break the skin.
Instead of just an unsightly blackhead, blackhead popping and squeezing can leave you with a blackhead and a pimple.
6. Stay away from sugar. The old advice used to be to avoid chocolate and nuts. The people who need to avoid chocolate and nuts are people who have herpes, since these foods can trigger herpes and cold sore flare-ups.
Eating too much changes the balance of inflammatory hormones and the anti-inflammatory hormones to keep them in check.
If you eat too much sugar, your body makes too many of the hormones that cause redness, itching, dryness, pain, and inflammation.
7. Get you zzz’s. Your brain needs at least six hours of uninterrupted sleep every night to reprocess stress hormones. Stress hormones can trigger both overproduction of oils in your skin and rapid growth of your skin that traps them inside.
8. Keep your skin tone regular with Milk of Magnesia. This simple remedy can lift out blackheads and also reduce redness of visible pimples. Just put a drop of Milk of Magnesia on your clean fingertip and dab it on the pimple.
If you don’t have time or money for makeup, Milk of Magnesia can disguise a pimple for up to 12 hours if you don’t wash or sweat it off.
9. On the subject of fingers, don’t touch your face! Dirty hands transfer oil and bacteria to acne-prone skin.
10. Keep your hair out of your face. The oils in your hair can stick to your skin and clog pores.
