Get Rid of Acne Spots Using Natural Products

I suffered all through my teens and twenties with acne, so I know the anguish it can cause. Unfortunately some of the products you can buy over the counter, or are prescribed, can have longer term consequences for your health. I was prescribed antibiotics for two years, which had consequences for my overall health in my twenties and thirties.

This led me to explore holistic medicine, and to to train as a homeopath. I’d like to share here with you some of the tips I learnt, to help you reduce the spots and the swelling very quickly using natural products which won’t damage your health.

  • If you have a large pimple that hasn’t yet formed a head – ice it down before bed and you should find that the swelling has reduced a lot by the morning.
  • Grind some fresh nutmeg and mix it with milk (organic if you can get it) – to form a paste. Apply it on the affected area. It helps spots to disappear quickly without leaving a trace.
  • Apply Aloe Vera (the best quality you can get) to your skin twice daily – it will really help your skin to heal.
  • Rub raw garlic over the affected areas several times a day.
  • Grind sesame seeds with water to form a paste and apply to the infected area to reduce the swelling.
  • Apply strawberry leaves to the affected areas and leave them on – the alkaline will help the skin to restore it’s natural balance.

See which ones of these appeal to you, and try it. Everybody is different, so if the first one doesn’t work for you, try another. Always get the best ingredients you can – organic where possible. This will give your skin the best chance to be able to heal itself.

To be able to really improve your acne, you will also need to be making changes to the things that you are eating. Start by increasing the amount of water you drink – your body’s organs need it to work properly and to clear out the toxins in your system.

I hope that these tips help you and your spots improve using natural ingredients. For more ideas of natural ways to cure your acne go to http://www.byebyespotty.com.

Good luck and I really hope it works for you. Best wishes Chris Jenkins.
