Homemade Acne Treatments

How many of us had to get through teen-age without acne, pimples, blackheads? I think very few. Is stress a factor or a fatty diet, pasta and sweets in excess? Perhaps, but most often acne suggest imbalances in the body, especially hormonal.

For this reason, the first step to be made in treating acne is a visit to the doctor for analysis.

If you must use treatments, be very careful at what products contain - you do not want anti-acne cream containing benzoyl peroxide or Accutane, which, in time, cause more serious effects than the acne itself.

Here are 10 homemade acne treatments - very handy and very natural, just like "gardening" to keep your skin clean:
1. Garlic is an excellent treatment for acne, in case you did not know. Just rub with a garlic clove cut in two over the acne, or cut into slivers a garlic clove and apply over acne with a plaster, leaving overnight to act;

2. Onion is a good apprentice in the fight against acne and its traces when it disappears. Make a puree with the blender and apply it as a facial mask once a week;

3. Lemon juice applied to skin helps to close pores, and to increase the brightness of skin;

4. Baking soda mixed with vegetal soap (preferably soap made only from olive oil or vegetable oil) is the best antibacterial scrub the skin;

5. Mixture of fine sea salt to whites of an egg is very good for sensitive skin attacked by acne. Apply as a mask and remove easily with circular movements;

6. Honey can be applied as a mask for acne skin;

7. Vinegar is a good tonic antiseptic for acne, acting very gentle if you mix in equal proportion with water or green tea;

8. Yogurt is very effective and safe for skin prone to acne. Apply directly from the jar, let it react 5-10 minutes, then rinse;

9. Cut a gauze circle about the size of the face, soak it in fresh made green tea (very hot but not boiling) and apply on face. Let dry and remove carefully;

10. Herbs such as echinacea, rosemary, dill and parsley are great for teas and infusions wich purify the skin.
