   The best natural method of treating acne is to do a total body cleanse detox. Toxins build-up in the body is the main cause of acne. Our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins.

   Hi,

   Can I just recommend the tea tree line of skin care at the Body Shop? They consist of gentle exfoliants, cleansers, face masks and tea tree gel that can cool break outs over night. They are great because they work at cleaning acne as well as preventing, without drying out the skin

   The most important thing about clearing acne is sticking to a routine, exfoliants should be used about two times a week, and cleanse morning and night. Also drinking plenty of water helps as it cleans out the system.

   Acne is a skin problem that can give worries to both men and women of all age groups. There are many products available in market to clear acne scars. But I will recommend either herbal acne cream or homemade acne treatment. The choice is yours. One thing you should keep in mind before using home treatments for acne is they are not a miracle and will not give you clear face in one day. But the best thing is that they are free from side effects and will not harm your skin anyway. If you want a quick result or do not have time for home treatments then you have another good choice of herbal acne skin care creams or lotions.

   How to Clear Acne Scars?

   This article emphasis on natural ways to clear acne scars. Homemade treatments are one of the best possible methods to clear acne scars at home.

   Clear Acne Scars 1: Lemons

   In case of dark acne scars, you can use lemon juice to fade mark. First, cleanse the acne marks with water. Dab one teaspoon of lemon juice into a cotton ball and smooth it over the acne scars. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Use caution with lemon juice because it can make your skin photosensitive. So be certain to use a sunscreen on any area you treat with lemon juice prior to going out into the sun.

   Clear Acne Scar 2: Baking Soda

   Another homemade treatment to clear acne scar is the use of baking soda. Exfoliate your skin with soda. You can give yourself a mini microdermabrasion treatment by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with the two teaspoons of filtered water. Then gently rub the mixture on your acne scar for sixty seconds then rinse it off.

   Clear Acne Scars 3: Olives

   After exfoliating your skin with baking soda, massage with olive oil onto your face. Acne scaring can cause the skin to lose its elasticity and suppleness. The moisturizing nutrients in the olive oil will penetrate the skin to deeply moisturize the skin and soften the skin's texture.

   Note: The reader of this article should exercise all precautionary measures while following instructions on the home remedies from this article. Avoid using any of these products if you are allergic to it.

   I too am sick of it and after some trial and error this is what has worked for me.

   Step 1.

   Drink lots of water. I tried to drink one cup of water every hour while I was awake. Carefull tho cause the first week or so you will be running to the bathroom every hour until your bladder learns to compensate. Water is the oil in our bodies, just like a car, and it keeps everything running smoothly. Many times acne is the result of our bodies not being able to effectivly remove certain "toxins"

   Step 2.
   Cut down on the sugar big time. Although if you are drinking a lot of water, sugar still shouldnt be a problem, drop the sugar and u will drop the acne that much faster tho.

   step 3 (guys only)
   Shave every day, WITH THE GRAIN OF YOUR HAIR, shaving against the grain irrates the skin and makes the problem worse. Shaving each day removes dirt, oil, and dried or dead skin allowing your skin to "breathe" so to speak. After, use a aloe vera gel as an after shave. This will help your skin heal faster

   Step 4.
   Shampoo your hair twice a day, once before bed and once when you wake up. Again removes dirt and oil that would make its way to your face.

   Step 5.
   Wash your sheet as much as possible and at least during the first week, use a new pillow sheet each night.

   Step 6.
   Lastly, exercise at least a 3 or 4 times a week. And when i say exercise i dont mean going for a walk. You need to get your heart beat up into the high 100's. 180, 170 etc. Not only is this good for your heart and overall health, it kinda gets everything moving and workin more effectivly. Your blood is flowing and your better able to eliminate those so called toxins. Plus you will sweat alot which is one of the ways your body cleans itself. Not to mention youll lose weight and look and feel 10 times better.

   This works for me but everyone is different. These easy steps effectivly treat the problem of acne instead of treating the symtoms of acne. hope it works for you too

   Some of the finest remedies for acne are of the natural variety. This includes things like using tea tree oil soap to bathe your acne away.

   This will not work for everyone, but if you're looking for a natural treatment it could be one of your best gambles. At the same time, there are tons of homemade cures or home treatments for acne that you may need to look into.

   Using vinegar is an example of the most typical methods to deal with acne. Different folks have different concepts on when you need to use it to clean the face.

   Also, whilst you try to find alternative treatments that work you may need to coverup your acne in the meantime. This will be done with a little bit of make up. Both males and females can exploit this methodology of covering up acne.

   I do hope that this has help you in some way.
