What are the natural remedies to treat acne without using prescription?

Ok, this is what you do: you buy a pot of that stuff that has 'alpha hydroxy acid' in it and then you buy an acne 'spot treatment' sort of thing, like a tube of stuff with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. You take a bit of the first kind and a bit of the second kind and you put it on your face 2 times a day, wash with a flannel first and make sure you get your skin really clean. My sister had acne really badly and this worked for her. She still does it and she never has any spots anymore.What are the natural remedies to treat acne without using prescription?
here's some great home remedies.Try them ,they worked for me.





1. Something that works like magic on your zits is a mixture of ground nutmeg and un-boiled milk. You could apply this mixture on the area affected by pimples and keep it for 1-2 hours. It helps to do away with the dreaded pimples and also helps in removing pimple marks.


2. You could also apply raw papaya or ripe tomatoes on the pimples and keep it on for an hour and then wash it off to see super effective results. Strawberry leaves put on acne can get rid of it; this is because its alkaline content reduces the swelling of the pimple.


3. Another recipe by which many people swear is the mixture of lemon juice and rose water. Apply the combination for half an hour on your face and then wash it off with water. Follow this routine for 15 days religiously and it could cure you of your pimples.


4. To prevent pimples and its accompaniments like blackheads and whiteheads you could apply a mixture of fresh fenugreek leaves paste on the affected area. You could use it every night and keep it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with luke warm water.


5. A unique method would be to make a concoction of roasted and ground pomegranate and fresh limejuice for applying it on the acne.


6. Ground and powdered neem leaves, mixed with water to make a paste make a good remedy for pimples, moreover to complement it you could also have neem capsules.





However, what you must always remember is that for these home remedies to be effective your diet must contain enough vitamin and mineral supplements.

The natural treatment for acne involves adopting natural lifestyle and using only the natural products. With the herbal mask, you can easily prevent the symptoms associated with this disease like irritation, pain and pus formation. Make a poultice from the leaves of herbs and apply on the problem areas. This will gradually lessen the eruptions and prevents further scarring of the face. You can also make a face pack from the turmeric and almond powders and apply it on the face since turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and kills bacteria. Honey face packs can also reduce acne.

Tea tree oil! Best stuff, hands down.





I found that most people who have moderate to severe acne irritate their skin with prescription and OTC acne treatments. If you are doing that, stop. I think that's the cause of a lot of peoples' skin woes.


Ingredients like olive oil (surprisingly), witch hazel, sage, rosemary, chamomile and tea tree oil are so great for the skin.


You should check out Lush Cosmetics-- they have a great range of natural stuff. I thank them for my clear skin!
