If you listen to the ‘acne experts’ you’ll hear that the first thing you need to do in order to get rid of your acne is to get on a better diet and change your hygiene habits. Then they pitch their over-the-counter products, creams and lotions that supposedly bring immediate results for your acne. But the problem is that it is successful in “many cases”, but not all cases. Many people who try the products, therefore experience side effects or even get allergic reactions. So it’s better to try proven homemade acne treatments that work effectively and has a high success rate. They are cheaper and doesn’t require a doctors prescription.
One popular method to treat acne at home is using cotton dipped in alcohol and use this on your face. The alcohol will help cleanse the pores, and kills a majority of the bacteria causing the infection. You do not want to use excess alcohol because it can yield in light or heavy skin irritation.
If you are somebody who has oily skin, a good homemade acne treatment is to use oatmeal masks on your face. The way you use this mask is by applying an oatmeal and water mix for 15-20 minutes twice per day to get the best results. What happens is that the oatmeal will dry up, thus absorbing the oil from the skin. When you remove the mask, make sure to rinse your face with cold water.
You might want to try another homemade acne treatment that is extremely successful. It involves using honey and apples. This method uses grated apple, which is then mixed together with 4 teaspoons of honey. The mixture you get from this, will be the paste you apply to your face, and keep it there for around 10 minutes. When the face mask has been on the face for 10 minutes, remove it and rinse with warm water. Do this two or three times per week for the most successful results.
Another successful acne treatment for oily skin is strangely enough, tomatoes. Simply mash tomatos and apply it to your oily skin for 10 mintes and wash it with water. To get the best and most successful results, keep using the acne treatment once every day.
Warning! If you have pimples, DO NOT pick them with your finger nails or poke them. If you do this, it will worsen the conditions. If your homemade acne treatments are not working, go with the next one, but make sure you are not picking your pimples. If you do, your inflammations can get worse, and produce nasty scars.

Acne prone skin tends to be sensitive. Look at your reflection in the mirror and check whether your entire face is oily or only the T-zone. You may also use a tissue on your skin to identify the oily parts of your face. Your skin determines type of acne treatments that can be used. Be aware of your skin before you go to an expert for help.

Acne is a disease that affects people around the world. It isn’t an American disease and it isn’t a disease that only affects teens. In today’s society almost anyone can be affected by the ravages of acne and the damage to skin it leaves behind. While acne is most commonly found on the face and neck it can also be found on the chest, back, arms, and legs.
There are many treatment options for those who suffer from chronic consistent acne. The available treatments consist of over the counter medications, prescription drugs, laser treatments and other invasive skin therapies. It is wise to begin with over the counter medications. There are four active ingredients for over the counter acne medications you should try at least one product that contains each of the four active ingredients before giving up on over the counter medications and moving along to the prescribed medications.
It is fairly safe to assume that increasing medications also bring increasing price tags. While girls have things a little better than the average guy (they can be prescribed oral contraceptives in order to combat acne) there are many different treatment options available. From birth control to antibiotics, and ointments and creams to stronger chemicals and prescription drugs the options seem fairly limitless and are continuously escalating in severity as well as risk.
There is another option which gets far less press because it is a rather costly process and not 100% effective. However, it bears mention as a treatment option because it is often successful to some degree of removal even if it doesn’t remove all signs of acne and/or acne scarring. Our faces are the first thing most people see when the meet us, it is their first impression and for those who have suffered and continue to suffer with severe acne and have the battle scars to show for their efforts, it can be a humiliating and frightening experience to meet new people. If nothing else these treatments can help restore the self worth of people who haven’t felt that they’ve put their best face forward in a very long time.
Laser treatments are quite expensive and carry with them risks of their own. Every escalating treatment or procedure carries with it a greater risk for disfigurement, infections, and other side effects as a result of the procedure. It is important to remember than when weighing the decision of whether or not to pursue an aggressive course for your acne treatment.
The right acne treatment can not only prevent the formation of new acne, some treatments are also effective at removing the scars left behind from years of severe and often painful acne. If you are having serious to severe acne rather than mild to moderate acne it is very important that you consult your doctor and see what course of treatment he recommends. You should not have to suffer from this disease in silence when it is so very easily treatable. No matter what acne treatment you ultimately decide on be sure that you have read and studied all of the facts and risks involved in your treatment and that you are at the very least making a decision based on current and accurate information and with the advise of your doctor.
