Karen’s Free Health and Fitness Tips

Acne haunts about 17 million Americans each year and causes depression in young teens and even adults, in the worst case sometimes suicide. Some companies even discriminate when hiring a person because of uncontrollable acne. I was one of the victims of depression and discrimination because acne control got the best of me. I could not control my acne and no over-the-counter acne medication or acne solution recommended by a dermatologist seemed to work and only caused harsh rashes on my face and made my acne worse. I searched around for years for the right acne cure until I found the right solution for me. These home remedies are guaranteed to work and you will see results within a few days.

1. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is a great method of curing acne and has been proven safe for over sixty years. To use tea tree oil in the curable acne form it goes through a process of distilling the leaves of the tea tree species (Melaleuca alternifolia) which can only be found in New South Wales which is off the east coast of Australia. The best quality of tea tree oil comes from this area only, all other oils are mediocre. So when choosing tea tree oil for your acne, please make sure it comes from this area. Terpenes is a bacteria-fighting substance found in tea tree oil and acne is caused by bacteria, so when you mix these two together you got a great cure for acne. The Terpenes weaken or destroy the bacteria by shielding antibodies. To use tea tree oil it is best to apply a drop or two of pure, undiluted tea tree oil to affected acne areas of the skin.

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera has many great uses, but one of the best uses for it is curing acne. The watery gel from the Aloe Vera plant is a highly effective natural cure against acne. The reason why it works so well is that the enzyme-loaded gel has very relaxing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It is best to apply the Aloe Vera plants gel directly to the effected acne area, but it can also be taken through the mouth which helps clean up and calm the digestive tract. This alone can help clear up the skin.

3. Mint Leaves Paste and Mint Juice

Mint leaves paste and mint juice are other effective alternatives to treating acne naturally. Simply apply fresh mint juice on the face at night which works like an acne medication. This is extremely effective in treating acne. With mint leaves, grind them up and mix with a small amount of water. This works almost like an acne cream. Apply for 10 minutes to effective area and rinse with warm water. See your acne disappear within a few days!

There are many ways to get rid of your acne using all natural treatments; the hardest part is just finding the ones that suite you best. These treatments are not processed or do not contain harsh chemicals that will leave you rashes. These acne remedies are simply amazing, and you should give it a try before you go see a dermatologist as a last resort.
