Acne Home Remedy:
Tips & Resources

Acne Home Remedy - Washing

Keep the areas affected by acne clean by washing twice a day with a perfume free cleanser. Pat the skin dry, do not rub vigorously.

Another acne home remedy, for greasy skin, includes antibacterial face cleansers.

Note: these should be used sparingly to avoid stripping the skin of necessary natural oils.

Use "noncomedogenic" cosmetics and toiletries.

Avoid oils, airborne grease, irritating clothing or sporting equipment, that can aggravate the acne conditon.

Acne Home Remedy Precaution: Avoid Picking

Some physicians strongly discourage squeezing the spots.

On the other hand, James E. Fulton, M.D., Ph.D., believes squeezing pimples can speed healing and reduce scarring.

However, it must be done the right way.

A few days after you notice a yellowish center appearing, wash with a simple soap and water.

Expose the skin to steam by holding it over hot water for five minutes.

Then, with properly trimmed fingernails, wash the hands thoroughly, wrap tissues round the fingertips and try and pop the blackhead. If it doesn't work after one or two tries, don't force it, leave it.

James E. Fulton is the director of the Acne Research Institute in Newport Beach, California. He has written an excellent book for anyone concerned about acne treatment:

Acne Home Remedy: Local Pharmacies

For mild cases of acne, over-the counter solutions at your local pharmacy should suffice.

Acne treatment often uses Benzoyl Peroxide as a main ingredient.

Benzoyl Peroxide is anti-bacterial. It also reduces the risk of infection by minimizing the risk of the pore and ducts in the skin becoming blocked.

Acne treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide helps the surface layer of dead skin shed more easily by causing it to dry out.

Some persons with sensitive skin may find acne treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide causes redness and peeling to start with but the majority find these reactions disappear after a few days.
