Three Herbal Remedies for Acne
Posted on February 1st, 2009
Acne is a troublesome and unsightly skin condition often seen in teenagers, but can also be found in adults of any age, and even some young children. The main cause of acne is genetics, but the outward symptoms (pimples and black heads) are caused by excessively oily skin, dirt, and even dehydration. Remember that the skin is the largest organ in the body, and is one of the most obvious indicators of overall health. Clear skin is a sign of a healthy body, and acne riddled skin can be a sign that there is some sort of imbalance in the body. More often than not, though, it is simply a matter of a less than perfect skin care regimen. Steps can be taken to naturally control and cure acne. Here are some herbal remedies for acne.
One of the easiest of the herbal remedies for acne is using groundnut oil (the most common is peanut oil) and mixing it with and equal amount of lime juice. Mix well and apply the solution to your face every night for about 15 or 20 minutes. After that short while, rinse it off with warm water. Daily application can help prevent the formation of black heads, which eventually turn into full blown pimples when they get infected. It may be obvious, but don’t use this method if you are allergic to peanuts.
If you happen to be allergic to peanuts, try mixing the lime juice with rose water in equal portions. The rose water doesn’t moisturize as well as the peanut oil, but its unique properties will shrink your pores and the citrus juice will help cleanse them, leaving your skin clean and clearer. You can find rose water at most health food or natural living stores.
Another use of rose water is to mix it with sandalwood. Sandalwood is a popular wood for use in fragrances and botanicals, and it’s essential oil has antibacterial properties. The rose water helps condition your skin, while the sandalwood helps to fight the bacteria that can cause pimples to form.
Herbal remedies for acne can be easy and relatively inexpensive; they are also a freshly invigorating way to combat the signs of acne and come out on top with radiant and smooth skin. Using the products of nature ensures that you are doing right by the environment and harnessing natures healing powers.
