Acne Remedies

Ah yes, acne, one of the most deadliest forms of social outcasting. It's something that most of us will have to deal with at one time or another in our lives. For those of you who are fortunately enough to never get a single pimple even though you eat anything you want and never wash your face, well, good for you. Don't get static shocked while press the back button. For the rest of us mortals, having acne is not a pleasant thing to have to deal with. In fact, it plain sucks. A lot of it has to do with genetics but part of it has to do with how you take care of yourself. So let's look at some acne remedies that may help get rid of or at least reduce those nasty zits shall we?

For every type of problem you can think of there seems to be some cool home remedy for it. Do all of them work? Of course not, it would be silly to even think so. With that said, keep in mind that you have to experiment to see what happens. I have a friend who had strep throat and wanted me to help her find out how to get rid of it faster. I found about a dozens different home remedies for it and none of them worked even though many people swore by it. We tried cayenne pepper, apple vinegar, lemon juice (ouch), you name it. So as you can see, some of these suggestions may work while others won't.

So let's see what we have here in our bag of tricks for home remedies for acne. The first thing you can try is mixing some baking soda and water. You will want to make it sort of thick so that it acts like a paste. Just apply a thin layer to your acne and leave it there for about 15-20 minutes and rinse it off.

Another way to get rid of acne that has worked for some folks is applying toothpaste on it. I haven't tried this myself but they work well for cooling burns so you never know. Another method you can try is when you wake up in the morning, before brushing your teeth, while your mouth is all yucky and slimy, lick your finger and apply the saliva to your acne. I know that sounds kind of gross but some people swear by that.

Another method involves scrubbing your face every now and then through out the day with your shirt. Unless should be able to see the dirt rub off onto your shirt. This is an indication that you need to wash your face. This also helps because you are scrubbing the dirt off your face. It's something that I have done personally and actually works for me. Who would have thought right?

Those acne remedies mentioned may or may not work for you but the following should give you some great results since it's science. Basically, since acne is caused by bacteria under your skin and shows up on your face as zits because it's your body's way of getting rid of it, that is an indication that part of the problem is internal. Yes, acne is caused from the inside. It definitely helps to be washing your face regularly but if you don't take of your body from the inside, it won't help all that much.

This means you have to drink a lot of water. This can have amazing effect not only for your acne but also your health and energy. You want to stay away from greasy foods that can end up being oozing out from your face. That's pretty horrible image. If you can take care of your body by eating the right foods, drinking plenty of water, and washing your face regularly, it will do wonders.

What you wash your face with will depend on you. Soap works but you also want to use acne creams as well that have benzoyl peroxide in it. You can find this on the internet at pretty decent prices. Also, to find out more acne remedies, there are tons of sites that have a lot of information about it. Do some research and try it out.
