Acne mostly affects the skin of teenagers but it also affects some adults. Acne is the condition in which the sebum builds up in the pores of the skin. Sebum is kind of an oily substance which is produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin. There is a myth that people get acne because of improper hygiene. Gentle washing of the face is essential, but sometimes the people who clean too much, can irritate their blackheads and whiteheads and cause them to be more infected and cause more pimples.

Acne is not bad for your overall health, although they can occasionally become infected or grow into cysts. The major influence of acne is on the quality of life. People with acne can experience embarrassment, anxiety, and sometimes a loss of confidence too. Instead of spending so much on an expensive acne treatment, you can learn about some natural remedies which will help you to get clear skin.

1. Chamomile

Chamomile is an excellent remedy for acne. It soothes the inflammation caused by acne. For making a chamomile ointment, take a blender or coffee grinder and add the contents of a chamomile tea bag with sufficient water and grind it well to make a paste, and apply it to acne.

You can make a chamomile tea too instead of paste. For this, take two chamomile tea bags and add it to 1 cup of water and boiled it for 15 minutes. Allow this tea to cool, then take a cotton ball and soak it in tea solution then dab this cotton ball on your face after cleansing.

2. Aloe

In this condition, sebum is built up in the pores of the skin. Sebum is kind of an oily substance which produced by the sebaceous glands present in the skin. When this becomes trapped, it will appear in the form of pimples on the skin. These pimples can be recognized by the small red and pus-filled spots.

The significant impression of acne is on your quality of life. People who are suffering from acne sometimes they can feel embarrassment and a loss of confidence. So apply some aloe vera gel on your skin or at the sites of a pimple after cleansing or before going to bed. You can easily get aloe gel in the market or if you want to remain 100% natural, you might even consider growing aloe in your house and using that directly.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar contains both malic and lactic acids that have a tendency to reduce the red marks that are the telltale sign of acne, and they can be really useful to treat them. For making a DIY toner, mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water in a bowl and apply this solution to your skin with a cotton ball. Make sure however, to shake it well before each use.

4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

The Omega-3 fatty acid capsules have an anti-inflammatory action that can treat the acne quickly. To get the benefits of it take any multi-nutrient capsule which contains fish oil. Or you can add more things like albacore tuna, salmon, flax seeds, and walnuts into your diet which will naturally help you to heal your acne rapidly and clear your skin.

5. Lemons

Lemons generally act as a skin lightener and disinfectant which has a power to reduce the occurrence of scars and it can prevent new pimples from forming. On a clean face, take a cotton ball or cotton swab dipped in lemon juice and apply it to your face and then rinse with cool water. You should start to see the effects from the very first use itself.

Don't forget your skin has normal flora that can fight off bacteria such a propionibacterium, that's one of the leading causers of acne. Once you find a routine that has been working for weeks, best not to introduce new things onto your skin that can mess up the normal flora protecting you.

Many of the things here are acidic which prevent the growth of a lot of acne causing bacteria.
