Acne is an embarrassing and painful skin condition that affects over 80% of individuals, both young and old. There are countless over the counter solutions that claim to kill the acne-causing bacteria and help create a smooth, flawless complexion. But many of these treatments are harsh chemicals, not to mention very expensive. Fortunately, there are several natural acne remedies you can put together in your own kitchen.
There are numerous causes of acne; you may suffer from acne when oils produced by your skin become trapped inside the pores, or it could be caused by bacteria. Either way, we do know that things like stress, a poor diet, make-up and cosmetics, hormone fluctuations, dietary deficiencies, and poor hygiene can all cause acne to flare-up and get worse.
Most acne treatments rely on one or more methodologies to eliminate the pimples and blackheads. They may work to reduce oil production, or to unclog pores, or to eliminate acne-producing bacteria. But some natural acne treatments also work from the inside out.
