Your Acne Can Be Cured Naturally

By Lucy Collins

There are natural acne cures that will very likely work for you.

When it comes to our body, and our face in particular we all want to preserve what we were born with for as long as we can. When it comes to acne, we want to treat it the best way possible without having any nasty side effects. There are natural acne cures that can help you clear up your skin in no time, and actually keep it that way!

The first fundamental rule which applies to problem skin is that your skin requires an abundance of moisture in the form of water. Yes, drinking an adequate amount of water daily should without a doubt, be your very first step in curing your acne. Drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day will ensure your skin is kept hydrated which in turn will minimize the chance of pimples forming.

The second most important step for a natural cure is proper hygiene and while many will think this is obvious, you'd be surprised just how many sufferers don't practice suitable hygiene. Everyone should take regular showers and acne sufferers in particular should be sure to shower at least twice everyday using a mild and gentle soap not only on their face but rather all over their body.

This third step has been well documented for centuries in certain parts of the world but it seems it has only recently reached western shores. Drink a cup of warm green tea each morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to bed. Not only is it going to clear your skin up but it also boasts a whole range of other benefits such as boosting the immune system and lowering cholesterol, to name just a few.

Go out for a work out three times a week or hit the gym to clear up your acne! Believe it or not, getting the right amount of exercise can actually be a natural way to clear up your acne! If you are not capable of running, or having a hard work out, then try Yoga. Yoga will not only help to clear up your skin, but it will also help to relax you and balance you.

Aloe Vera is a great product to try as well in conjunction with all of this. I'm sure you've heard of it. If you use it on a regular basis, many people have found it to be quite beneficial to their acne.

Make sure that you are getting plenty of sleep at night. People who stay up at all hours of the night are more likely to get an acne outbreak compared to those who go to sleep at a decent hour. If you deprive your body of sleep, your pores will become larger which will be susceptible to more dirt, and germs.

Of course, it should be said that simply using one or two of the methods explained above will not deliver the results you're hoping for. You need to practice all of them and as you have nothing to loose, at least just give them a try for a couple of weeks. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
