Natural Treatments for Acne

• What Causes Acne?
• Our skin is covered by tiny hair follicles that
  have glands which produce oil (called sebum)
  helping protect our skin and hair from drying
  out. Sometimes dead skin cells on our body can
  become trapped in the sebum instead of rising to
  the top of the skin and being washed away. The
  result, a mass build up of bacteria within the
  pores which ultimately becomes what we know as
  acne.

• At What Age Do You Get Acne?
• Acne comes in many forms and at different stages
  of our lives. Acne can appear on our face, back,
  chest, neck, upper arms and shoulders, and is not
  a stage in life anyone looks forward to.
  According to the Government Health Direct
  website, puberty begins and ends anywhere between
  the ages of 9 and 13, and it is during this time
  when we start to see the onset of hormonal acne
  in boys and girls. 80 of all people at some time
  in their lives will have acne and as a general
  rule most grow out of it by the age of 25 however
  for some it can be a lifelong issue.

• How Do I Get Rid of Acne?
• There is a very large marketing industry
  dedicated to treating acne, but unfortunately not
  all treatments come with scientific research
  behind their claims. What works for one person
  may not work for another and often the over the
  counter acne treatments can leave our skin even
  more red, dry and irritated. Research and
  understanding of the products and options
  available for acne treatment is the most
  important aspect in helping make the best
  decision for choosing a solution.

• What Are Some Natural Remedies for Acne?
• Cost effectiveness is one of many reasons why
  people may choose the path of natural remedies
  for their acne. It is important to note that
  before using any alternative acne treatment you
  should do your research. Some cures may not
  have been thoroughly researched and have no
  scientific backing whatsoever. However, this
  doesnt necessarily mean that there is no benefit
  in trying them out.
