Natural Acne Treatments

Our skin is a reflection of our overall health, which is why glowing, beautiful skin often results from proper care, hydration and eating a nutrient-dense diet. On the other hand, skin ridden with whiteheads, blackheads and other types of pimples can indicate oxidative damage, poor nutrition and hormonal imbalances.

Occasional breakouts and chronic acne plague tens of millions of Americans of all ages every year. About 85 percent of teens experience some type of acne, but even many adults deal with at least occasional breakouts too. About half of teens and young adults suffering from acne will have severe enough symptoms to seek out professional help from a dermatologist.

From mild to severe, acne can cause painful and unsightly outbreaks on the face, back, chest and even arms. Left untreated, acne can also lead to diminished self-esteem and long-term hyperpigmentation or scarring. Genetics, changing hormone levels, lack of sleep and stress are all contributing factors to acne.

The good news is this: many safe home remedies for cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and hyperpigmentation due to acne scars are all available. I’m sharing my favorite natural home remedies for getting rid of pimples and keeping them from returning. If you’re someone who has chosen to use potentially dangerous prescription drugs and/or topical medications on your skin, instead of natural home remedies for acne, then know that clearing your skin naturally is possible, as is minimizing acne scars. A healthy diet, applying essential oils, proper gentle cleansing and balancing hormones are all some of the ways you can restore your skin’s health, reduce unsightly pimples or other types of irritation, and prevent scars.

I suffered for hormonal acne for years. On my organic diet I added to skin care African Black Soap, organic Aloe Vera Gel 2x/daily. Also I mix organic Garbanzo Beans 1teasp with water 1teasp, and I put on my face 2x/monthly. No more acne, my skin looks much younger and fresh.
Thank you doctor. I'm RN and I advise your videos to many of my patients. I listen you for a more than year. Learned a lot. Thank you for free information on YouTube.
