Best Acne Spot Treatments

The best acne spot treatments are probably any of the treatments that use no chemicals. There are many acne treatments on the market these days, but if you can avoid using harsh chemicals it will be beneficial, as some chemicals can actually encourage spots.

Some of the best acne spot treatments are the ones you can do at home. Always gently wash off after about thirty minutes.

* Use ground cinnamon and water, this can be used as a poultice, which should help to reduce inflammation

* Place slices of oranges on the infected area and leave for about thirty minutes. Organic apple cider vinegar can help with oily skin

* Health store shops will sell many different herbal treatments, look at the labels to make sure there are no chemicals included

* Tea tree antiseptic oil, add a few drops to warm water and then wash off with cold water

* Gently rub fresh garlic on to the spots, which might help reduce redness and swelling

* Witch hazel lotion, which can calm the spots

* Green tea and honeysuckle seems to be beneficial, taken as a drink and even made up as a lotion, smoothing directly onto the spots

Obviously you would not use all of these at the same time. Choose just one, or maybe two, and keep up a routine for a week, if you see no improvement try another treatment, as we know that everyone is different, with different reasons for their spots, and not everything will work for everyone.

When having a shower, make sure that even the shampoo is chemical free. After the shower, or washing with warm water, always splash cold water on the spots, this will close the pores making them less susceptible to infection.

I hope this helps, especially teenagers. To get more help, advice and proven method to rid acne: http://nomoreacne4you.weebly.com
