Acne Remedies At Home: The Inexpensive Solution?

Have you ever considered creating acne remedies at home? It need not be difficult, the ingredients are usually inexpensive and there is a huge range of acne natural remedies. In this article we have gathered together the information you need to get started.

Finding Your Recipes

You?ll need some recipes and guidance to prepare acne remedies at home, but there’s certainly no shortage of these. The easiest way to access hundreds of recipes, together with information about how to use the remedies and what they might achieve, is to take a look online. As ever, you’ll need to exercise some caution because there is a fair bit of mis-information doing the rounds. Whilst some acne remedies at home are easy and cheap to make, their effectiveness is going to vary from person to person.
The big one to watch out for is the herbal remedy scam. You’re likely to encounter any number of examples when searching for the best solution. Just look out for commercially-prepared, overpriced bottles of pills or potions. Whatever illness or affliction the remedy is targeted at (not just acne), the promotional material always makes unverifiable and outrageously optimistic claims for the product. Don’t believe them. If it seems too good to be true then it almost certainly is! If you keep focussed and disregard all the wonder products then you’re sure to discover some genuine ideas to create useful acne remedies at home.
If you have moderate to severe acne then you really should consult your pharmacist or health practitioner. They are likely to produce even more alternatives, but at least you are likely to be given useful advice based on real-world experience. You don’t even have to worry about preparing acne remedies at home. A good range are available ready-prepared and over-the-counter. For example, preparations containing aloe vera are known to be worth trying. Many others can be readily prepared at home using cheap ingredients that are often already present in a well-stocked kitchen.
What ingredients do you need to prepare acne remedies at home? Lavender oil, mint oil, citrus fruits such as orange, lemon and lime. Other fruits, leaves and oils are also suggested, as have tea tree oil and even toothpaste. We have to resist trying to describe the recipes and methods of use in detail here as there are simply too many to do them justice. 
Homeopathy – Ignore The Claims
A word of warning about one particular class of alternative therapy – homeopathy. In homeopathic treatments, the active ingredients are diluted so much that none of the original chemicals are actually present in the final product at all. So although these products are very safe to use as they have no effect at all, they also do not stand a chance of making any differences to your acne pimples, scars or anything else. You might come across claims of magical homeopathic cures which banish acne blemishes completely and permanently. Despite their popular appeal, such claims are utter baloney and should be treated with all the contempt that they deserve.
