#1.  Baking Soda and Water

Ok, maybe you have heard of this remedy, but it works so well that is deserves a mention.  Sodium Bicarbonate, or baking soda, is a natural, non-toxic exfoliant that also absorbs excess sebum (oil).  It is also good for healing blemishes more quickly.  Baking soda is especially ideal for those with sensitive skin that cannot normally use facial scrubs.  Creating this remedy is easy as all you need is a little baking soda and water (spring, filtered, or distilled).  Make a thick paste with the water and baking soda, then apply to the face and let it sit for 15 minutes.  Rinse off with warm water and follow with a light moisturizer.

#2.  Blistex

Blistex is famous for soothing and healing cracked, chapped lips, but did you know that it can help clear up your skin?  Blistex effectiveness is due to the ingredient, phenol, which kills bacteria.  Now you should be careful since phenol may also be irritating to the skin.  So approach this simple home remedy for acne with caution.

Before bedtime, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and rinse with lukewarm water.  Pat dry.  Apply your favorite light moisturizer, then dab a little Blistex to your pimples.  Don’t be alarmed when you feel the tingling sensation.  Immediately wash your face in the morning, and you should immediately see improvement in your skin.

To be extra careful, the first time you use Blistex, only dab on one pimple to make sure your skin doesn’t have any adverse reactions.

#3.  Aloe Vera, Cold Water and Sea Salt

This triple combination will soothe, soften, and exfoliate your skin in one shot.  Aloe Vera moisturizes and heals the skin faster and prevents acne scars.  Sea salt kills bacteria, helps regulate the overproduction of sebum, and is a gentle exfoliator.  The cold water is invigorating, refreshing, and helps to keep dryness and redness under control.

First, run a cold bath, adding salt in the water as it runs.  Soak in the water for up to ten minutes.  Alternatively you can fill up a bowl with cold water and salt, wet a washcloth with the solution, and place it over your face for ten minutes.  Pat your body/face dry and apply natural Aloe Vera gel (100% pure, no alcohol or other chemical added) to your skin.  Leave the Aloe on overnight, and wash it off the next morning with a gentle cleanser.  Repeat this every night and you will notice an improvement within days.

Whether or not you use cucumbers or lemons as your homemade acne remedy depends on personal preference.  Some like to use lemon because it contains more vitamin C and has a pleasant aroma.  But if the acid too harsh for sensitive skin, using a cucumber will be your best bet.

To create your acne natural remedy, slice your lemon or cucumber.  The slices don’t have too be large, just big enough to use on your face.  Moisten your face with lukewarm water.  Then, rub the lemon or cucumber on your face in a circular motion until you get a good amount of juice and pulp all over your skin.  You can either leave the juice on as a mask, and leave it on for 5-10 minutes, or you can rinse it off immediately if you’re short on time.  If you decide to leave it on, you can re-wash your face with the lemon/cucumber before doing a final rinse with cool water. For optimal results, use spring or distilled water for rinsing.

Of course there are other remedies for acne good for treating blemishes from the inside.  Good antioxidant supplements to take are:

• Multi Carotene.  Contains several antioxidants in the carotene family including Beta Carotene.  Natural source of vitamin A, which helps the removal of dead skin cells, reducing the chances of clogged pores.
• Vitamin C.  Create for detoxifying and also improves the appearance of scars.
• Vitamin E.  Fights free radicals, thus protecting the cells from damage. Also a great immune system booster.
• Omega 3.  An essential fatty acid that balances the bad cholesterol and fats in the body, including unhealthy fats that contribute to acne.
• Evening Primrose Oil.  A natural hormone stabilizer that has great secondary benefits for the skin.

Using organic whole food supplements are better for your health and more effective than synthetic versions.
