What are some acne home remedies?
I’m 14 years old and I’m trying to find a home-remedy for acne. I mostly get zits on and around my nose. I tried a zinc shampoo and bar soap but didn’t have much results. Now I’m using baking powder mixed with water and it seems to be working a bit but it’s slow. What’s a good home remedy to cure acne?
Hi, I am a DIY person 
so I am always looking for homemade stuff instead of buying.
I looked into the matter and I found out many natural home remedies for acne. Most of them will help your skin heal from the damage caused by your acne, but they won’t cure the acne.
But I didn’t give up. One theory that made sense to me is that you need to treat the internal problem causing acne. That is - hormonal imbalances, toxines etc..
How can you do that? - Primarily you must help the liver, the pancreas and the kidney.
I am currently using "Apple Cider Vinegar" which is a natural cure for acne.
Apple Cider Vinegar is an effective natural agent that cures acne by killing the bacteria and balancing our skin’s pH level (which is a measure of acidity). It also absorbs excessive oil from our skin, which is a leading cause of acne.
In the spring I will take a Dandelion cure.
Dandelion shuns wet places, it has two outstanding qualities: it is useful in disorders of the liver and of the gallbladder.
Dandelion and Stinging Nettle have a blood purifying effect. They aide the functions of the liver and the pancreas, thus reducing the hormonal imbalances in the body.
Infusion: 1 heaped tablespoon of roots is soaked in cold water overnight, brought to the boil and strained next day. This amount is apportionately sipped, half an hour before and half an hour after breakfast.
I also recommend a Nettle cure as an acne remedy.
- Wear gloves when handling fresh nettle plants.
- Remove leaves from stems and discard stems.
- Fill a teapot full of nettle leaves
- Pour boiling water over the leaves.
- Steep for 5 minutes.
- Add honey and/or lemon if desired and drink.
The tea will be somewhat bitter. However, it is quite nutritious an especially high in calcium.
Other quick homemade acne treatments I found to keep your skin clean:
1. Garlic is an excellent treatment for acne, in case you did not know. Just rub with a garlic clove cut in two over the acne, or cut into slivers a garlic clove and apply over acne with a plaster, leaving overnight to act;
2. Onion is a good apprentice in the fight against acne and its traces when it disappears. Make a puree with the blender and apply it as a facial mask once a week;
3. Lemon juice applied to skin helps to close pores, and to increase the brightness of skin;
4. Baking soda mixed with vegetal soap (preferably soap made only from olive oil or vegetable oil) is the best antibacterial scrub the skin;
5. Mixture of fine sea salt to whites of an egg is very good for sensitive skin attacked by acne. Apply as a mask and remove easily with circular movements;
6. Honey can be applied as a mask for acne skin;
7. Vinegar is a good tonic antiseptic for acne, acting very gentle if you mix in equal proportion with water or green tea;
8. Yogurt is very effective and safe for skin prone to acne. Apply directly from the jar, let it react 5-10 minutes, then rinse;
9. Cut a gauze circle about the size of the face, soak it in fresh made green tea (very hot but not boiling) and apply on face. Let dry and remove carefully;
10. Herbs such as echinacea, rosemary, dill and parsley are great for teas and infusions wich purify the skin.
oILY sKIN???
oKAY i HAVE REALLY OILY SKIN!! wHAT CAN i USE THAT WILL FOR SURE MAKE IT GO AWAY??
Cleanse, tone, moisturize. Use soaps with glycolic acid, this will control facial oil without causing dryness. Wash face twice a day with hot water and glycolic acid soap, hot water absorbs oil better than cold or warm water. Ask your pharmacist for available over-the-counter glycolic soap.
Use a toner with salicylic acid, this will remove and prevent blackhead formation caused by excessive oil build up. It will also help control the oil. Apply at night.
Use a light moisturizer, preferably in a gel form. Even when skin is oily, you still need to moisturize to prevent over-dryness.

How can i get rid of my acne completely?
I am sick of having all my acne. I have tried 3 different prescriptions from my doctor. None of them worked. I don’t touch my face, I drink water and eat healthy. But it still wont go away. I want my life back. I don’t want to be embarrassed any more.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a teen suffering from acne, or an adult suffering from acne related to stress or hormones; it hurts to have acne. I know what it’s like to suffer from acne and not know where to turn to for acne help. I’ve tried over the counter medicines, prescription medication, topical treatments - a whole spectrum, really, and have only found a few remedies that I can consider to be the best acne treatment.
When acne forms, it’s usually a result of hormones, stress, an excess of bad food, or an irritation caused by fragranced products, itchy material, excessive oil, etc. Realize that whatever the cause of your acne, it is not your fault. 85% of the population suffers from acne every day, and there’s nothing you can do about it except to follow a few simple instructions when it comes to finding the best acne treatment.
1. Always cleanse your face once or twice a day. Finding the right cleanser can be tough, but try to find one that has gentle scrubbing beads that will exfoliate your skin. I personally recommend Proactiv, as that’s what I use.
2. Never pick at your pimples. If you must pop a zit, do so safely. To do this, break a Q-tip in half, and use the two soft ends to gently release the puss underneath your skin. This will reduce the chances of getting bacteria in the pore (and thus worsening the acne) as well as come close to eliminating the risk of scarring that is associated with picking and popping zits with your hands and fingernails.
3. Watch your diet. That doesn’t mean you have to cut out all French fries, chocolate shakes, and donuts, it just means you need to eat them in small quantities and dilute them with several glasses of water.
Take care….
