There are many natural acne remedies on the market. Some you may have tried a few of them as well as some conventional medicines. Many people choose the natural option because some medications are very harsh on the skin and have lots of potential side effects. Allergic reactions are still a possible side effect of natural remedies so it is best always to check the ingredients.

One natural acne treatment that is used quite frequently is acidophilus, which surprisingly is a bacteria that lives in the intestines. These bacteria can be used to fight the acne causing bacteria and help cleanse the body and reduce acne.
Zinc is another well know natural acne treatment and is a very important mineral to have in our systems as it helps the body fight infections. In the case of acne it helps heal ruptured skin and reduce inflammation.

Rosehip oil, aloe vera juice or gel and lavender oil can be applied to reduce acne scars. Tea tree oil is another option, as this an antibacterial agent, that can reduce blotches and fights bacteria. Most of these natural acne treatments can be found in your local health store.




Acne Chemical Peels

Thursday 8 May 2008 @ 10:46 am

Acne chemical peels should be considered as a potential treatment for acne because it can be kinder to your skin than many other medical creams and solutions if it is in a low concentration.

What these acne chemical peels do is remove the outer layers of skin which may be damaged by acne, sun or dirt.

A chemical solution is applied to the face or affected areas and when it is removed it literally pulls one layer or more of skin leaving the person with a new layer of skin resulting in a clean healthy glow.

There are different types of chemical peels but the mild peel that removes just one layer of skin should suffice for most acne sufferers. It can both even out the skin and get rid of old acne scars.

The other types of chemical peels are called medium peels and deep peels and these remove more layers of skins but it would be worth consulting the dermatologist before considering these.

This is an inexpensive and simple procedure that could remove acne scars and leave a clear skin to increase one’s confidence.
