How To Clear Acne At Home Using Natural Herbs

By Vernell Hunter


Generally, when people think of acne, they think it only affects teenagers. However, in reality people of all ages suffer from various types of skin problems. Because flaws on the face and the skin are unattractive, people are constantly learning new ways about how to clear acne at home. These techniques are inexpensive and show improvements almost immediately.

This type of skin problem is usually associated with puberty. It is a sign that a child's hormones are changing. This problem usually resolves itself over time. However, there are steps the teen can take to ensure the problem does not worsen. This includes watching their sugar consumption as well as fried food intake. The grease from the fried foods may cause the skin to increase the oil production.

A person's diet also plays an important role in the face's condition. Foods that contain high sugar-based corn syrup or have high amounts of fat may cause the skin to increase in its oil production. It is also important that an individual who suffers from skin problems keep the oil from their hair off their face. The excess oil on the skin will clog the pore creating pimples. Squeezing the blemishes will make the problem worse. The redness will spread from the bump to other area on the face. The same rule applies to blemishes on other parts of the body.

Most people have either whiteheads or black heads. A whitehead is a blemish that sits under the skin. These usually disappear in a few days. Black heads are the second most common type of blemish. Because they take longer to rise to the surface, this type takes the longest to disappear.

This type of problem falls into one of two categories. The first category is inflammatory bumps and the second is non-inflammatory bumps. Non-inflammatory blemishes will result in either a whitehead or a blackhead. Whiteheads are the combination of sebum and bacteria. They stay right below the skin's surface and may appear as a tiny white dot. Blackheads are different. Because the pores are open, the sebum is oxidized and the top of the bump will turn to a black color. Although it is often mistaken for dirt, they cannot be washed away. These types of bumps take longer to come to the surface. As a result, they last longer.

Open pores are generally a sign of poor skin health. However, popping the pores open can actually benefit a person who is trying gain a clear complexion. Larger size pores makes it easier to clean out the dirt and bacteria that is lodged inside. This can be done by applying steam to the face. Simply place the face a few inches above a bowl of hot steaming water. Keeping a towel over the head will help to contain the steam between the face and the bowl. After a few minutes, the face will look greasy. At this point, it is important to wash the face immediately.

Simply bring a pot of water to a boil then remove it from the stove. Using a towel, keep the face over the steaming water. After three to five minutes, the pores will be opened. Wash the face immediately. Using a sauna or steam bath, this technique can be used over the entire body.

Learning how to clear acne at home is not difficult. A person can make a simple brown sugar scrub or oatmeal mask at home. Both types of cleansers washes away dead skin cells on the surface. Dead skin cells are a major contribution to a person's acne problems.
