Anyone who has suffered from even the smallest case of acne knows that acne medications do not come without side effects. In some cases, the side effects themselves require another medication. Common acne medications like Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can cause the skin to dry so severely that another medication like hydrocortisone may be needed to reduce the redness, scaling, or itchiness.
As acne medications become stronger, they often have even worse side effects. Modern prescription acne medications are known to cause birth defects, and can be dangerous or even fatal in people who are already ill. For some people, it seems, it is almost easier to just bear with the acne than to treat it.
If you have sensitive skin, there really are no acne medications that will work for you. Since the main purpose of most medications is to dry out your skin, the medications will damage your natural “flora and fauna” that keeps your skin in a normal state. This is where all natural acne treatments may help you out.
There are many ways you can help treat acne problems without ever going to the drug store or your dermatologist. Most of these treatments have been around for centuries and have worked for millions of people. As one advertising executive said, the reason why natural remedies aren’t popular is because no one makes a dime off of them. Since no one can profit from you using vinegar and water on your face, no one will ever tell you that it works.
That’s right – vinegar and water – and maybe a little lemon juice and you will have an all natural acne treatment right in your own kitchen. It will help to dry the oil from your skin and pores and leave your skin refreshed, not dry. For very sensitive skin, nature’s cure-all – honey – can treat flare-ups. Just dab a little drop of natural honey on a spot and it will dry up and disappear.
Fruits are wonderful all natural treatments for acne and some of them can remove acne altogether in as little as three days. By mashing a banana or strawberry and adding it to a little cooked oatmeal, you will have a facemask that will revitalize your face, draw the oil from your pores and skin, and leave you looking years younger (and smelling great!).
If you are suffering from acne but can’t (or choose not to) use medications to treat it, all natural acne treatments can be found right in your own home, and at a fraction of the cost.
