Acne sufferers are likely to have spent hundreds buying up products that promise to rid their skin of acne. Prescription medication and over the counter creams are frequently used. More recently, the "natural trend" has become a popular way of treating all kinds of health issues - natural acne treatments.

Natural acne treatments have been around even longer than most traditional treatments. Ask anyone and they will give you one or more acne home remedy recipes. Despite what you may think, some of these home remedies are actually quite effective in treating acne.

Natural acne treatments may be ingested or applied topically and include herbs, a plant part or even a chemical. Here is a short list that reviews three of the most effective natural acne treatments.

Hydration and Acne Diet

You can deal with acne by modifying your diet to include Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and essential fatty acids.

Water is also a good way to help reduce the appearance of acne in the skin. Water is useful in skin care treatments because it helps hydrate your tissues and eliminate wastes either through perspiration or urine. Not only is hydration and proper diet good for your acne skin care, but also for your overall health.

Acetylsalicylic Acid or Acid Salicylic as Acne Medication

Salicylic Acid has been used as an important ingredient in many acne creams. It causes the skin cells to shed more easily, opens clogged pores, and neutralizes bacteria. It is also known to reduce hyperpigmentation when used in higher concentrations.

If you don't want to invest in an expensive acne treatment a more natural alternative to products that contain salicylic acid is aspirin. However, when this acid is found in skin care products it is usually in higher concentrations, and therefore, more effective.

If you insist on using aspirin, then you can use aspirin as an exfoliant or in a mask. To make a mask, simply dissolve 3 or 4 adult aspirins with a tablespoon of water and make a paste. Once the paste is ready, apply it all over your face or on the affected area.

If you want to make the mask thicker, you can add yogurt and/or honey to make the aspirin mask. If you are allergic to aspirin, then you should not use this type of mask.

Tea Tree Oil

This oil has been used extensively in Australia to treat dandruff and Candidiasis (or thrush). It is a potent antiseptic that can be used to help treat acne. Its results are comparable to benzoyl peroxide but take longer to present themselves.

Tea tree oil can be used topically. However, you should first dilute it before applying because if not, it may cause irritation. You may also need to use a moisturizer to counteract the dryness brought on by this product.

BIOSKINCLEAR and BIOACNECARE are natural acne remedies that aid acne prevention. These natural products may not be the ultimate cures for acne but they can definitely help get rid of mild to moderate acne and stubborn teen acne without causing harmful side effects common in most traditional treatments.
