Top 5 Natural and Non-Natural Acne Treatments

At some point, we all try to find a way to get rid of acne completely. Here are some natural and less natural acne treatments that have been shown to be effective.

01. Witch Hazel Astringent 

 

 This astringent is derived from the plant of the same name. It is widely distributed from Nova Scotia in Canada  to Texas and Florida. Simply spray this twig and voila! The extract you get from it serves as an astringent. However, remember to cool it down. The good thing about it is that it came naturally and even the process he went through was completely natural. You can rest assured that it is less harsh than commercially produced astringents. 

 

 02. Commercially produced astringents 

 

 It is certain that the astringents that we can buy over-the-counter are also effective.There are many variations to choose from with additional ingredients that help promote better skin. The only downside is that it can be a bit harsh due to the chemicals added to produce this formula. Use them with caution as they can dry out the skin. 

 

 03. The All-Natural Treatment 

 

 Cooking and acne are two enemies that we may not even be aware of. Explore your kitchen to find things like oranges and lemons, fresh garlic, and raw potatoes. 

 

 – Oranges, lemons just squeeze on cotton balls. Apply the extract on the affected areas and wash off after about 20 minutes. 

 

 – Fresh garlic is  much easier to use. Just peel it off and rub it on your face.

 

 – For raw potatoes, peel them and rub them flat  on your face. 

 

 Natural extracts from these fruits and vegetables can help minimize  redness while cleansing the skin. 

 

 04. Take antibiotics 

 

 In severe cases, antibiotics will be prescribed. These medications are  taken by mouth to reduce the amount of bacteria in and around the skin follicles. They also reduce the intoxicating chemicals produced by white blood cells. Finally, antibiotics reduce the concentration of  free fatty acids present in sebum, while producing an anti-inflammatory effect. Consult your dermatologist for the right antibiotic and dosage. 

 

 Tetracycline remains the most commonly prescribed antibiotic to treat acne. Most of these antibiotics should be taken on an empty stomach. Also, this should not be used by pregnant women and children under 9 years of age. Typically, the initial starting dose is  500 milligrams twice a day and is continued until prescribed or until significant reduction in lesions is observed. 

 

 Erythromycin comes in second and can be prescribed to pregnant women. However, it can cause nausea and even stomach upset. Compared to tetracycline, which  only kills bacteria, erythromycin has both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. In addition, this antibiotic must be taken when the stomach is full of food. You can discuss other possible antibiotics with your doctor about the effects and side effects of each. 

 

 05. Topical treatments 

Topical creams have also been shown to be effective in treating acne. However, it leads to dryness and flaking, but it is believed to be the most effective treatment for severe acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a very popular and effective topical acne treatment.
