The skin consists or three layers and is the largest organ of the body. It tends to act as a shield between the body and thousands of foreign substances that can damage the body. Our environment contains pollutants that could harm and even kill us if they were allowed to gain entry. The skin reacts to these harmful elements by erupting, flaking, scaling, itching, redness, color changes, cracking and dryness.
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when the sebaceous glands, which lies just beneath the skin and produce the natural oils that keep the skin lubricated, become clogged or are not regenerated in sufficient quantity to handle the load. This may result in whiteheads or blackheads being formed. Pimples are then formed when the bacteria is released from these clogged pores.
The most important acne home remedy is picking the right soap you use, not only on your face but your entire body. By picking the right soap you will not only treat your acne but also maintain healthy and well balanced natural ph balance. When choosing your soap choose one that is free of dyes, perfumes, detergent and chemicals. Never use a soap that is called deodorant soap or anti-bacterial. My favorite soap is olive oil and got milk soap with natural essence of oil. I buy this home made, from a farm in my area. I hope to one day sell it on this website.

Acne Home Remedies
Clearing the Outside from the Inside
Keeping the skin and body hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water daily is an effective acne home remedy for keeping the skin clear and assisting it in clearing wastes. Plus eating more fruit and vegetables can be all you need to get your skin looking radiant. Let me give you an example.
When I was a teenager I noticed my complexion was looking ashy and I was starting to break out around the forehead and nose. I started buying an apple from the school cafeteria and eating it while walking home every day. After about 2 weeks of doing this my complexion started looking better than it did before I started breaking out. Now I'm not saying all you need is to eat an apple everyday but I am saying making yourself aware of what you eat and drink on a daily basis is extremely important in healing yourself from the inside. Sometimes an acne home remedy can be as simple as using common sense.
Grandma's and mothers everywhere, swears that all the high-fat food we love to eat does a number on our complexions. Scientists may not be quite as convinced, but to be on the safe side, avoid milk chocolate, chips and fried foods as much as possible.
Eating more brown rice is good advice for improving overall health. It is also a good natural acne home remedy. To ward off pimples and other facial blemishes, make brown rice a regular part of your diet.
Drinking medicinal teas can help flush and detoxify your body of waste, metals and poisons absorbed from your environment. You can also add some medicinal teas, like mullein tea , to your bath water, foot soak or as a compress to use as a natural home remedy for acne and relieve some swelling and soreness.
Taking vitamin supplements is also a great acne home remedy, but be sure to check with your family doctor to make sure you aren't taking too many supplements that can become toxic. Vitamins like your B vitamins are really good sources to get that complexion looking clear and healthy again. It's well known that zinc deficiency may contribute to acne. But zinc is one vitamin you have to be careful of because too much zinc can have harmful side effects.
