If you are plagued by Acne, just know that you aren't alone,
millions suffer from this ailment. The good news is that there
are many Acne Remedies available and many of them do not
require a prescription. Before going to the doctor and spending
tons of money on big name treatments, check out some of these
low cost, easy to try options.
Each of the acne remedies listed below are proven to help
diminish or eliminate acne. Each is available at low cost in
your local area and none require a prescription.
Tea Tree Oil
The leaves of the Australian Tea Tree produce an oil that is
rich in terpinen-4-ol, an antimicrobial
substance. The tea tree oil can be applied topically to
the skin. The tea tree oil lessons the symptoms of acne and
kills the bacteria, thus reducing acne. It is quite
affordable and can be found at your local health food
store.
Vitamin B5
Another of the most effective acne remedies is Vitamin B5. It
helps the body break down fats and reduces oily skin.. one of
the leading causes of acne. B5 is water soluable and is very
safe. Side effects generally are stomach irritation and
frequent bathroom visits, but it is not expensive and works
very well in treating your acne.
Zinc
The last on our "top 3 list" of effective acne remedies is
zinc. According to the American Zinc Association "Zinc has also
proven effective in treating acne, a problem that affects
especially adolescents, and zinc has been reported to have a
positive effect on psoriasis and neurodermitis."
Apparently Zinc is good for our immune systems and for soothing
skin irritatins. Zinc can be found at your local health foods
store for a very reasonable price. In addition to eliminating
your stubborn acne, Zinc also helps support your immune system,
which can prevent colds as well.
Zinc takes some time to build up in your body, so don't despair
if you don't see results right away, wait a couple of months.
Once your body chemistry is back in balance, your acne will
start to dissappear!
Even if you have stubborn acne, you can treat it yourself
without going to the doctor and without expensive
prescriptions. Give our acne home remedies a try and you will
