How to cure acne

You can have clear skin and an even complexion by learning how to cure acne the natural way. There are a number of herbs that help treat acne and the scars it sometimes leaves behind. Here are some tips.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use herbal remedies to clear acne. Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is a clear or slightly golden colored essential oil. It prevents acne and clears blemishes. Aloe Vera extract offers numerous benefits to the skin. And if you really want to know how to cure acne using a natural remedy, give this one a try. Aloe Vera acts as an anti-inflammatory, which protects the skin, helps heal scars, and reduces their appearance. It also gets rid of blemishes.

  2. Step 2

    Cleanse acne areas with green clay. Add a little water to the clay to make a paste. Gently apply the clay paste to areas where acne is most likely to occur. Let it dry. Then rinse the paste off with warm water. This process removes bacteria from your pores and exfoliates by removing dead skin cells. Proper cleaning of the skin is very important in understanding how to cure acne.

  3. Step 3

    Keep your skin healthy through a proper diet. Eat plenty of foods that contain vitamin A such as carrots. Vitamin A helps prevent acne and protects the skin from scarring. Make sure that your diet includes whole grains, soy beans, sunflower seeds, shellfish and raw nuts. These foods contain zinc, which keeps the oil glands free from bacteria.

  4. Step 4

    Use apple cider vinegar to keep your skin's pH levels balanced. Combine 10 parts water with 1 part apple cider vinegar and apply the liquid combination to the acne areas.

  5. Step 5

    Exercise regularly. Staying physically active helps improve circulation which is good for your complexion. Do aerobics such as jogging, dancing, or biking.
