Your Acne Can Be Cured Naturally

By Lucy Collins

There are natural acne cures that will very likely work for you.

Unlike many over the counter acne solutions which only offer short term respite from acne, there are in fact natural ways in which to clear acne and when one takes this approach, the results are permanent. One thing I'm sure we all agree on is that we're all self-conscious of our looks to a certain extent. In particular, people suffering from acne are extremely self-conscious regarding their facial appearance

The first thing that you need to make sure of is that you drink lots of water. The cells in your skin needs moisture to function properly and water can also help flush toxins out from your body. Drinking lots of water is step one in regaining proper skin chemistry in your acne-prone skin. You should drink at least eight cups of water per day.

The second most important step for a natural cure is proper hygiene and while many will think this is obvious, you'd be surprised just how many sufferers don't practice suitable hygiene. Everyone should take regular showers and acne sufferers in particular should be sure to shower at least twice everyday using a mild and gentle soap not only on their face but rather all over their body.

Another great piece of advice for acne sufferers is to drink a cup of warm green tea every morning and at night. Green tea boasts a wide variety of health benefits. It helps the body flush out harmful chemicals with its antioxidant properties and also helps to boost metabolism and the immune system and may also help to lower cholesterol.

While this next step may not be what you want to hear, it does work so if you're serious about clearing your acne, then you'll just have to make an effort and get involved in some form of exercise. If for some reason you can not run or jog then simply take a nice brisk walk or even join a gym. Believe it or not but even yoga has shown to be beneficial.

For many sufferers it seems impossible that one can cure acne simply by changing one's lifestyle so if you feel you still want to use some form of treatment, then use Aloe Vera. Used regularly, this herbal gel will help to cure your spots with the added benefit in that it also prevents further spots from appearing.

Make sure that you are getting plenty of sleep at night. People who stay up at all hours of the night are more likely to get an acne outbreak compared to those who go to sleep at a decent hour. If you deprive your body of sleep, your pores will become larger which will be susceptible to more dirt, and germs.

Not everybody is the same and there are many different reasons why people have acne. That being said, some things don't work for everybody. You should try to narrow down your potential problems to try and reduce the risk of breakouts by treating your skin well all of the time, and always be on the lookout for new ideas for treating acne.
