Gentlest Home Remedies For Acne Scars
7:12:00 AM
Which home remedies for acne scars
actually work? And which acne home remedies are safe for sensitive skin?
Here are some of the natural acne scar healing tips we have learned
that are the gentlest and safest for sensitive skin.
Having
acne is a terrible experience, and even worse are the scars that are
left on your face long after the acne has healed. It can take many
months for acne scars to disappear, and there are some things you can do
to speed up the healing process.
Many
people with sensitive skin cannot use traditional acne scar treatments
such as dermabrasion or collagen injections, which are invasive and can
cause irritation, rashes and other side effects.
Homemade
acne treatments can be very effective, however for best results we
recommend that you create a comprehensive, whole body acne treatment
program which will help you clear out the root causes of your acne so
that you can prevent your skin from developing more acne scars.
If
you have very severe acne, you may want to consult a qualified natural
health practitioner that can assist you with creating the dietary and
lifestyle changes that will clear your skin and help your body heal the
acne scars. They can also guide you to find acne scar treatments that
are effective even for people with sensitive skin.
Tips for Using Acne Home Remedies
1.
Skin test FIRST - Even the gentlest acne home remedy might not work for
YOUR sensitive skin, so please be sure to do a skin test FIRST on the
back of your arm or the inside of your ear, to see if these home
remedies for acne scars will work for your skin.
2.
Be consistent - choose a treatment, first doing a skin test as I have
suggested, and if your sensitive skin does not react to the treatment,
then use it faithfully for at least a week or two. See how your face
looks and feels before making a final decision.
3.
Find a good daily routine for your skin - Using gentle, fragrance free
and hypoallergenic products will help you to cleanse, tone and
moisturize your skin without triggering more acne outbreaks.
4.
Treat your WHOLE body - home remedies for acne scars are not just
something you dab on your pimples. You need to maximize your body's
miraculous innate healing and rejuvenating capabilities by modifying
your diet and lifestyle. I know, that's not so easy especially in
today's busy world! In order to clear your skin, you need to drink
enough pure water, exercise, eat fresh, whole foods, and eliminate foods
and drinks that trigger acne outbreaks.
Simplest Acne Scar Home Remedies
Many acne home remedies also
work for helping acne scars to heal. Here are a few of the most popular
ones, which you can find in your kitchen or at the health food store!
Ice cubes calm the inflammation, reduce the size of pimples and reduce scarring. After icing, let your face air dry.
Baking soda and water, used as a facial mask can both clear acne outbreaks and reduce scarring.
Lemon or lime juice acts as a skin lightener and will lighten the scars. You can also use this to treat acne outbreaks.
Ground organic orange peel and water can reduce acne outbreaks and help the skin heal.
Tomato and cucumber slices, applied to your face regularly will help clear up acne and reduce scarring.
Olive oil can reduce the visibility of your acne scars and help to soften them.
Green tea contains many potent antioxidants which help the skin to heal and rejuvenate.
Lavender essential oil can help acne outbreaks to heal and also will help the scars to disappear.
Vitamin E helps the skin to heal from scarring. You can apply a little to your acne scars, and also take internally.
Vitamin
C also helps the skin to rejuvenate and to produce more collagen. Some
facial products with Vitamin C can cause burning, so choose a good
hypoallergenic product line that works for sensitive skin.
A Comprehensive Home Facial Treatment for Acne Scar Healing
If
you want to do a more comprehensive treatment program for your acne
with natural ingredients, this simple and very affordable program will
clean your skin, open your pores, moisturize and tone your skin and
reduce irritation and acne inflammations.
*
Steam your face over a pan of hot water for one to three minutes with a
towel over your head. For best results, do this morning and night.
* Apply a paste of baking soda mixed with a little water to your face. Leave on for one to three minutes.
* Rinse with cool water.
* Gently pat your skin dry, then wait a few minutes until your face is completely dry.
*
Apply a small amount of aloe vera gel, mixed with tea tree oil. If the
tea tree oil is too intense for your sensitive skin, try lavender oil.
If that doesn't work, simply use the aloe gel by itself.
These
home remedies for acne scars are just the beginning. To completely
clear up your skin, consider eating a more natural diet and drinking an
abundance of pure, clean water. Recent research suggests that this can
reduce your acne by 50% or more! Foods that have been known to cause
acne outbreaks include processed foods, sugar, caffeine, and dairy
products. It IS possible to completely clear up your acne and to heal
your acne scars naturally!By: MRochell

20 Acne Home Remedies Divided by Skin Type - Natural Acne Remedies In a Cosmetic World
10:59:00 AM
"Acne Home Remedies For Fair Skin"
Mixing Baking Soda W/ Water:
The most generic, though effective of acne home remedies. The baking
soda uses an all-natural alcohol free method of drying up the excess
sebum under the skin. Mix a cup of baking soda with a little water until
it becomes a paste, apply to the infected spot (not the whole face).
Leave on for 15 minutes and gently wipe off. Feel fabulous.
Get Smelly, Mush Up Some Acne Home Remedies w/ Garlic:
Ready to wreak? The very effective method is a powerhouse in acne
treatment. Peel back a clove of garlic, chop it up till its a mush, then
apply to whole face for 20 minutes. Remember to wash it off, unless you
like the smell of garlic.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Water Solution:
Ouch! This one might leave a little sting if your not careful. If your
skin is sensitive be sure to dilute the vinegar with water
appropriately. This is one of my favorite acne home remedies because
it's so strong and gets to work pretty darn fast. Apple cider vinegar is
a strong astringent packed with skin protecting vitamins. To use, mix
with water and apply with a cotton swab. Don't rinse.
The Orange Peel Facial:
Time to smell daringly citric! It's the most fruity of our acne home
remedies. Peel the orange, flatten it with a tenderizing utensil or
other blunt object (surprisingly, even a hammer works) and apply the
peel to your acne area. (You can even go as far as taping it on your
face). Leave on for 20 minutes and remove. Be careful not to snatch the
tape off too fast. Ouch!
Combining Aspirin and Water:
Headache pills for the face? I've never tried this one myself but I'm
hearing it's very powerful so I wouldn't over-do it. To use, crush an
aspirin and add a little water until it becomes a paste. Apply the paste
to a single pimple spot only and let it sit overnight. Rinse at wake.
Tomato Juices Work Wonders:
Tomato juice anyone? For this home remedy take a tomato and place it in
the blender or chop and squeeze. If you decide to use a blender for
your acne home remedies, make sure you clean it thoroughly beforehand.
This way, you wouldn't have any leftover residues from last weeks
chocolate shake sitting on your face. Apply the juices for an hour then
rinse off. But be warned, frequent use of tomato juice will dry out your
skin. Try other acne home remedies from time to time.
Green Tea Ice Cube:
Got spare green tea lying around? If you do, then you got one acne's
greatest home remedies. Freeze green tea into an ice cube and apply to a
specific spot. Use until swelling decreases or it melts away.
The Lemony Rose Water Supreme Combo: Combining
these 2 deadly acne killers will definitely thwart the competition (no
pun intended). To use, mix a half cup of rosewater with a quarter of
lemon juice and apply to infected area. The rosewater will repair
damaged skin and the astringent will suck up excess sebum. The ideal
acne fighting tag-team.
Break an Egg, Clear a Face: Egg
whites are the perfect facial cleansers and make pretty strong acne home
remedies. To keep the acne away, break an egg, separate the white from
the yolk, apply to whole face and feel your skin tighten. Wash away in
an hour and feel refreshed! Or just really eggy.
Green Tea Ice Cube:
For this method, you get to eat the majority of the strawberry, and the
best part is strawberries are really good for you! Eat the berry part,
save the crown part and apply to infected area. After 20 minutes rinse
and relax. Like my orange peel strategy, you can feel free to use tape.
Potato Slice Plain and Simple:
Potato slices work wonders. Slice one, hold it on your face for as long
as you want and enjoy. You can leave it on all day if you wish. Cant
have too many potato's. Simple acne home remedies personified!
The Surefire Clay Mask:
Well I saved the best of my acne home remedies for last and for a good
reason. I have heard umpteen absolutely uplifting stories about these
things and I'm fully convinced that these masks are the best solution to
getting rid of acne overnight. If you need clay, visit Mountains Rose
Herbs and do a search for "clay" - It cost $4.95 a pound, (a good
bargain cheaper than most acne products you can buy over the counter).
To apply, take one TSP of clay and mix it with water until it becomes a
paste. Then apply to infected spot and leave on as long as you want. Use
for overnight is best.
"Acne Home Remedies For Dryer Skins"
Stir up some avocado and honey:
My best choice for a homemade moisturizing mix. Mash up some avocado,
add some honey to make a paste, and apply to infected area. Do not
overdo the honey. To much honey will lead to clogged pores. Apply to
face and wash off in 20 minutes. Avoid rubbing in.
Olive Oil Absorption:
As with all skin moisturizing agents be careful of applying too much
and doing more harm than good. Take a table-spoon, dilute with a very
little bit of water, and apply to infected area. Let sit for 20 minutes
and pat dry. Simple acne home remedies at it's finest.
Astringent Honey Powerhouse Combination:
Honey tends to work miracles as a natural skin rejuvenator. Combine
that with any astringent and you got an acne fighter. Use any astringent
I've recommended in this post and you should be fine. Just remember to
wash your dosage. Apply for 15 minutes and enjoy.
"Acne Home Remedies For Oily Skins"
Lemon Juice Suction:
This one is for those fiery, tough chicks. Lemon Juice is the most
potent of all Acne Home Remedies and especially effective on oily skins.
Slice a lemon in half, squeeze out its juices and apply it to face
using a cotton swab. Be wary, as burning and bleaching of the skin may
occur if you over-do it.
The Solution More Powerful than Lemon Juice Alone:
This one is for the daredevils. This will result in a super sucker
solution that's almost a surefire way to get rid of that pimple. But as
with all acne home remedies, with great risk comes great reward. Be
careful of burning and bleaching of the skin. Same as before chop lemon
in half, squeeze juices and add salt to the mixture. Apply to face and
enjoy. As with most acne home remedies, remember to rinse after 10
minutes.
Just a Little Bit of Baby Powder: On the contrary
many argue that baby powder outright destroys your skin. Which it can if
your not careful. So unless your absolutely sure you can apply the
necessary amount, don't bother. Add a very small amount of baby powder
with a little water to make a slightly moist paste and apply to spots.
Do not rub in or your risk blocking your pores and making the problem
worse.
Toothpaste for the face: A classic example on
everyone's acne home remedies list. It's simple and dangerously
effective. All you have to do is dab a quarter size amount of toothpaste
and let the astringent properties eat through your pimple. Tips for
this one? Only one, stay away from gel toothpastes.
A Simple Wipe-Off Might Do The Trick:
This is the only entry I wont consider to be an acne home remedy but,
its so effective and inexpensive, I decided it would make a perfect
addition to this list. C&C Oil wipes do a spectacular job of ridding
your face of those nasty excess oil reserves I talked about earlier,
and I constantly get reviews from readers who can vouch for them. If you
have oily skin I urge you to pick some of these things up ASAP. They
just might be what you need to manage your pimple production, on demand.-By

Jawline Acne Cause - The Causes of Jawline Acne and Remedies
10:25:00 AM
There are no fixed jawline acne causes which normally affect persons in their adulthood and not in the adolescent years of their life. This problem comes as a surprise to most people who thought that their problems of pimples and acne are over with their teenage days and that they could now forget about skin problems.
Jawline acne appears on the jaw line, cheeks, chest, back and buttocks of the person, mostly in women who are past their teens. Unlike the acne in the teenagers, this is a painful problem and has many factors contributing to it. Jawline acne is also deeply embedded in the tissue and not like the acne that bothered the teenager and was only on the surface of the skin. This is a deep lying one and leaves scars that are much deeper too. This is referred to as cystic acne and if not treated immediately can leave terrible deep lying scars which will take a lot of invasive methods to get rid of.
Jawline acne cause in adults and especially in women is because of hormonal problems and hormonal inactivity. This could be brought on by consuming too much of dairy products which contain a lot of hormones. If the jaw line acne cause is diagnosed because of hormonal inactivity, then taking a course of pills for birth control would help it. On the other hand if dairy products are the culprit it is better to avoid them for a while and see if the acne subsides.
Sometimes certain cosmetics can bring this on, so it is better to check them out and see what the reason could be. Jaw line acne cause is sometimes a moisturizer that is too rich and greasy and clogs the pores on the face. Hair sprays and other hair products that are used too close to the face are another cause of Jaw line acne as they clog the pores and cause acne eruptions. Using oil on the hair and especially when it falls over the face for some women is another cause of clogged pores which bring on jawline acne. The base and pancake make up which are sometimes used by women should be avoided if there is a tendency for acne. It is best to avoid using stuff on the face which can bring on the problem of jawline acne and more so when one is prone to it.
Unlike other forms of acne the jaw line acne is not easy to treat and needs more aggressive treatment. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with external ointments and medications for this problem.
