Healing Acne

As you can imagine, having suffered from acne for over 10 years, I amassed quite a long list of acne treatments and remedies. I’ve seen and tried everything from honey facials to $200 Acne Cream. And let me tell you, almost all of them are junk.

Instead of letting you suffer from more embarrassing blemishes and go through the list of ineffective Acne Skin treatment that so many prescribe, I decided to take my 3 best skincare tips and tricks, all of them of them completely natural and effective. Here goes…

1. One day while surfing the web and icing yet another nasty pimple (btw, icing is another one of those pimple remedies that doesn’t work…at least not for me), I found a little article on how shampoos and conditioners can cause your pores to clog and that you should wash your face after you wash your hair. I thought I’d give it a try, what’s one more acne home treatment gonna hurt? I started washing my face AFTER rinsing off the shampoo and conditioner. I was amazed at the results. My skin started to clear a bit and now I am a firm believer in this method.

2. As you may or may not know, bacteria on your skin are a major cause of both blackheads and whiteheads. Do you know one of the easiest ways to reduce all those dirty buggers from preventing you from having beautiful clear skin? That would be drying your face with a towel. Bath towels harbor tons of bacteria that get transferred to your face and in turn, make removing acne almost impossible. The solution? Try drying with paper towel instead to keep the bacteria at bay.

3. Finally, this last one is something you may not know about. I used to have bad neck acne as well as back acne. I eventually came to find out that part of the cause was my laundry detergent. Sure enough, as soon as I made the switch, my clear made improvements. So if you have chronic acne problems on your body, try switching detergent to a more natural brand and you may notice a difference in your skin.
