Acne Natural Remedies

Have you given thought to using natural remedies for your troublesome acne? You wouldn't be the first. The number of people searching for alternative solutions to being pimple free are growing online.

These methods are probably being tried for many reasons, but I would imagine that a compelling one would be the reassurance of a lack of nasty side effects. With so many chemicals out in the marketplace today it becomes critical that you understand what could potentially be going into your face!

In a quest to compile a basic list of some good ol'fashioned homegrown therapies I stumbled upon GrannyMed.com website's list and abbreviated the following. We'd love to hear if any of these worked for you:

How to Cure Acne with Natural Treatments and Home Remedies

1. Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes, then wash.
2. Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary to reduce the acne.
3. Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball, leave for half an hour and wash. Repeat for 15-20 days.
4. Rub the acne with garlic cloves several times a day.
5. Natural remedy for acne with avocado: Wash face with avocado paste mixed with water.
