Many people who suffer from acne are reluctant to cover their face in chemical treatments or to take any kind of drugs or pharmaceuticals to try to alleviate the condition. This is totally understandable. Drugs, pharmaceuticals and chemicals often come with a range of unpleasant side effects. So here are a few Frequently Asked Questions about natural acne treatments.

Why would I buy a natural treatment rather than trying to put together a home remedy myself?

Simple. Bought products (not always, but usually) tend to be more effective. Whereas trying home-based acne remedies that you concoct yourself can be something of a “hit and miss” affair, to say the least! (Toothpaste on your pimples, anyone?)

What kind of problems might arise from home remedies for acne?

Often, when you try covering your skin with home-based products (orange peel, cucumber, vinegar, mint leaves, whatever), it can actually make the problem worse rather than better. Who knows what kind of allergic reaction you might have to stuff that you wouldn’t normally put on your skin?

Not only that, but do you really want to go around smelling strongly of vinegar, garlic, turmeric or other assorted foodstuffs? No? We thought not!

Can’t experimentation lead to some good results?

Possibly. But the problem is that you don’t know before you try. You’ve got no idea how much of an ingredient to use, how often to apply it, how long to leave it on your skin or anything like that. If you’re having problems with your skin anyway, you need to be very careful you don’t make it worse by applying something that could do more harm than good.

So what’s the best approach?

If it’s bad, consult a physician! If it’s not so bad, then there are various natural acne remedies you can purchase that are made up of completely natural ingredients. No chemicals! The great thing about these remedies is that they come with instructions regarding dosage and how and when to apply. You don’t get that with a bunch of strawberry leaves soaked in lemon juice!
