A-Natural-Way-To-Treat-The-Skin-Condition-Acne

By: Dave Bern..

Acne is not a skin condition that teenagers suffer from today, there are many adults who also suffer from this particular skin complaint as well. Luckily for these people there are now plenty of different treatments available to help deal with this problem and although effective some do contain chemicals which could be harmful to ones skin.

This is one of the reasons why so many people are now looking for more natural ways of treating their acne problem. Many of the natural acne treatments available today do not contain harsh or dangerous chemicals in their makeup. So the chances of your skin becoming dry or irritated by them are greatly reduced.

Even though quite a few people do not believe that natural ways of treating acne are as effective as over the counter or prescription medications this is simply not the case. In fact the vast majority of natural acne treatments one can use today for this particular skin condition are indeed very effective.

One natural treatment for acne that has proved to be very effective is tea tree oil. This oil is a golden color and is distilled using steam from the leaves from a number of different plants. In fact for many centuries now the people indigenous to Australia have been using tea tree oil not only for its medicinal properties but as a cosmetic as well.

This oil is effective at treating acne because it contains high anti-bacterial properties which can kill off the bacterium that lies under the skin and causes the acne to erupt. Never apply this particular treatment to your skin in undiluted form but mix a small quantity (1 part) to water (20 parts) as is could be harmful to your skin if not.

In fact because of its effectiveness many acne products being produced today which contain benzoyl peroxide in them are being remade using tea tree oil instead. This is because the results it provides the user with are very similar to those of the chemical benzoyl peroxide and are certainly not as harmful.

Certainly if you are someone who has sensitive skin then using a product which contains tea tree oil would be far more suitable as it is much gentler on the skin. Also you will soon discover that using such products your skin is far less likely to dry out. However, if you want to moisture your skin as you treat it then use a mixture of tea tree oil with Aloe Vera.

As well as tea tree oil another natural treatment for acne that is proving to be effective is the spice turmeric. But unlike tea tree oil which is one of the best acne treatments available this one can be taken orally as well as applied directly to the skin where the acne has erupted. Although it does not contain anti-bacterial properties, turmeric instead contains antiseptic properties which can help to fight and kill off the acne bacterium.

To take orally just add a small amount to a cup of warm milk where as for applying to the skin you need to mix the turmeric with either coconut or sesame oil. This should form a smooth creamy paste and when at the right consistency can be dabbed on to the acne. It is best to apply this mixture about 20 minutes before you go to bed at night and then leave on overnight. You will be amazed at just how much difference this makes the next morning to the actual size of your acne.
