Although the skin problem known as acne is often something that teenagers suffer from, today there are many adults as well who are suffering from this particular skin condition. But rather than using more traditional western treatments for helping to improve the condition of their skin and remove the acne more and more people are choosing to try natural acne remedies instead.

Below we provide a number of different remedies that you may want to try in place of those that you can buy over the counter at your local drugstore. One of the biggest benefits to be gained from using such treatments is that they do not cause side effects. Plus rather than just treating the main problem of acne which appears on the skins surface these natural remedies will treat the underlying causes also.

Natural Acne Remedies

Treatment 1 - Aloe Vera - 

You can either use this in gel or juice form and the reason why it is so effective is that it contains antibiotic properties. Along with actually treating the infection it can help to prevent the scarring caused by this skin problem. It is most effective when used twice each day (once in the morning and once in the evening). It should be used until such time as you see an improvement in the condition of your skin in some cases it can take as long as 6 months.

Treatment 2 - Apple Cider Vinegar - 

This is extremely effective at helping to clean your skin. All you need to do is put some on a cotton ball and then wipe over your face. This helps not only to clean out the pores and helps to remove the dirt and bacteria which results in the acne forming. But it also helps to remove any excess oil and helps to re-balance the skin's pH, which leaves your skin looking great. This is properly one of the natural remedies that actually works really quickly in treating the condition.

Treatment 3 - Cucumber - 

Yes an ideal natural way of treating acne. You have the choice of either liquefying a cucumber, which has been peeled before applying to the acne. Or you can drink the juice four of five times a day for one week. It helps to treat the acne by purifying your blood along with improving the functioning of your lymphatic system, which in turn results in you having much clearer skin.

Treatment 4 - Extract of Grapefruit Seed - 

This is an extremely effective natural remedy for acne as it contains anti-microbial properties as well as disinfectant ones. The best way to use this particular remedy is to combine between four and forty drops of the extract with 4 fl oz of water. Make sure that it is well mixed and then apply this directly on to the affected area using either a cotton ball or Q-tip two or three times each day.

Treatment 5 - Tea Tree Oil - 

This has been used for many centuries now because it contains good antiseptic properties and so is perfect for helping to remove dirt and bacteria from the skin. But what strength of oil you use will depend upon how severe your acne is. Plus yes this treatment can take some time before you begin to see any results, but unlike over the counter treatments it does not cause further damage to your skin as it helps it retain moisture.

Along with the natural acne remedies we have mentioned above there are plenty of others that you may want to consider trying. There are some which require you to make changes in your lifestyle and diet, but these will then help to make sure that once gone the acne will find it much more difficult to return in the future.

Although there are some good home remedies for acne and curing pimples, keep in mind that just because it's food or natural, doesn't mean everything is appropriate for your skin. Many with acne skin actually need to be careful due to sensitivities.

Lemon juice has been used for many generations as a home remedy for acne. Please don't use this if you've scratched or picked at your skin due to the acidic nature of lemons. However by squeezing a lemon and diluting it a bit in water you can help your skin heal by applying the liquid.


A mask made from an egg is also recommended to help acne skin heal. First you need to beat the egg and then after it's mixed, apply to your skin. Let it dry fully. You will need to use warm water to wash the egg off after it dries. There is a lot of protein in an egg.

A cucumber mask is useful to refine and tone the skin. Some mix it with yogurt or other ingredients, but you can use it alone after you chop and grate it up. The cucumber has healing and refreshing properties. After placing this on your skin , get in bed for 20 minutes and then rinse it off your skin. Feel the tightening and toning it's accomplished.

Many swear by the oatmeal mask as a nice aid for acne skin. You mix this with water and let it become a paste. After that, apply directly on the skin and feel it tighten and draw out the impurities. Rinse it off and look at your new refreshed skin.

Be careful of a few things such as if your bangs are on your forehead and you have oily skin. This can cause breakouts of pimples. Also wash your pillow case and don't keep your hand propping up your face when you sit at a desk at school or work. There is oil in your hands.

Jarvis writes about apple cider vinegar for many health issues and acne is one problem discussed. It is antibacterial and can be used both internally and externally. To use it externally use one part to seven parts of water and then apply to skin with cotton. When you take it internally (also dilute it with water) you will help to raise the ph of your body.

Our culture focuses a lot on the external, so it's easy to feel discouraged when your skin isn't flawless. Learn about your skin and when it tends to break out. Continue to use antibacterial products to help control the problem. You are really the person inside and showing others your generosity, good listening skills and inner talents is what really matters.
