Home Remedies for Acne: Shockingly Simple but Incredibly Effective Acne Home Remedies

Home remedies for acne can be truly effective and long-lasting. I’m talking here about the remedies that truly address the origin of your skin problems, and not just provide a temporary acne removal.

What I’m going to present to you in this article are some shockingly simple but incredibly effective acne home remedies – acne treatments that are not advertised or talked about in the media, and yet these methods can help you get healthy and glowing skin without medications, antibiotics or creams.

But first, I want to ask you to keep an open mind when reading this article, and to stick with me till the end. The methods that I present may not be exactly what you want to hear right now – especially if you are in the middle of a serious skin acne outbreak and you want a method that will help you get rid of acne FAST!

You may be looking for a miracle treatment or ointment to get rid of your skin problem, like, yesterday!

If that’s the case, I advise you to stop reading this as this is NOT what you will find in this article.

Or, you may be looking for an easy solution, like “take 400 mg of vitamin E once per day”, rub orange peel into your skin, etc. You can find detailed solutions like that on many websites and blogs. Here are some examples:

a) Vitamins: Add niacin (100 mg; three times per day), and vitamin A to a diet. 400 mg of vitamin E taken once per day also works wonders. You may also take 50mg of therapeutic zinc in tablet or capsule form (three times per day).

b) Fenugreek: A paste can be created from the leaves of this vegetable, which is then applied to the face before you retire each night. In the morning, the paste should be washed off using warm water.

c) Orange Peel: Pound orange peels and combine with water, apply to affected areas.

d) Lemon: Apply lemon juice to pimples.

e) Garlic: Rub raw garlic on problem areas several times a day. Eat three seeds of raw garlic once daily for a month.

f) Coriander and Mint Juice: Mix one teaspoon of coriander juice, combined with a pinch of turmeric powder. Every night, after thoroughly washing the face, apply the juice for an effective home remedy. Mint juice may also replace the coriander….

However, when applying some these remedies ask yourself this question:

“Will these home acne remedies truly remove the underlying reason of my skin problems?“

Keep in mind that acne is NOT a normal condition but a warning signal of a serious inner imbalance.

Let’s make this clear: Acne is not a problem with your skin. Acne is an internal and systematic problem. It’s a symptom of a disorder that effects your whole body and manifests as acne. Since our bodies are designed to protect us against the skin infection such as acne, it is simply a big warning sign that something is WRONG inside your body. and that needs to be corrected. Failing to diagnose and fix this problem in a timely manner can result is far more severe and chronic symptoms and disorders (as I explain later) which can seriously danger your health and well-being.

Don’t believe those web sites that offer a fast remedy to acne. No magic pill or fix-it-all product exists.

That is why I want to offer you a radically different, unconventional, yet super-simple and long-lasting – if you make a commitment to stick with it long enough.

Acne Removal Secret Weapon # 1: Adopt Acne Free Lifestyle

(1) Eat healthy, (2) exercise regularly, (3) don’t sleep on your face, (4) get enough sleep, (5) wash your hands regularly, (6) manage your stress, and (7) use your home remedy for acne on a consistent basis.

I honestly can’t say enough about eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. There is a show in the United States called the Biggest Loser. The contestants on this show are extremely overweight. They get taken to a secluded place where they are forced to exercise regularly, eat healthy, and get enough sleep. Guess what happens? They lose tons of weight. Guess what else happens (even though the show is not about this)? Their skin starts looking a hundred times better. Their skin, especially the skin on their face, goes from looking very sickly to looking fresh and vibrant. Even if you don’t need to drop some weight, doing these simple things will help get your skin healthier (thus helping your acne problem). Exercising regularly might be one of the best natural remedies for acne available. Source: Home Remedies for Acne Guide

Eat healthy – easier said than done, right?!

And what does it mean, anyway?

It’s truly simple.

Natural, unprocessed, plant-based diet is best for both your skin and the rest of your body.

The key appears to be that there is nothing (or at least as close to nothing as you can get ) refined or processed in your diet, but instead it should be high in fresh vegetables, fruits, greens, fiber and low in sugar. Eat as much raw as you can, or just lightly cooked foods – such as steamed veggies, soups or stews.

Juicing and green smoothies can help.

Acne Removal Secret Weapon #2: Delicious Green Juice Cocktail

Most people agree that no other food is more enzyme-rich and nutrient-rich than freshly made vegetable juice. For our bodies, it is the most easily digestible form of nutrition available. That is why it is unfortunate that, when most people think of vegetable juice, they picture a bottle of V-8 or a can of tomato juice. However, vegetable juices can be really delicious and even the biggest skeptics can be converted, when they start to experience the health benefits.

If you feel you never have energy to do things, if you are feeling constantly hungry, if you are craving junk food, a glass of juice can help. Grab your juicer (if you don’t have one, then go and buy one, because you are worth it!), buy some fruits and vegetables (see the recipe below for a shopping list), make some fresh juice, and drink to your health! Do this twice daily for amazing results, daily for great results, three times a week for good results, or even just once a week for improvement!

Fresh juice has all nutrients that your body needs in a form that can be easily absorbed giving you instant energy boost! Its also great for your health. If you search the Internet, you can read thousands of stories about people who cured themselves of various ailments, lost weight and improved their well-being by drinking freshly made juices.

There are many recipes that you can find on the Internet or in books on the subject. Here is one example of a recipe for a Green Cocktail that you may want to try first:

Simple version (fewer ingredients):

3 stalks of celery or 1 head of lettuce (e.g. romaine)
5-6 leaves of kale (or other greens, e.g., 1 cup of spinach)
1-2 apples or pears
1 lemon (not peeled)

Optional ingredients ” choose what you like or have in your kitchen:

1 cucumber
1/4 to 1/2 ripe papaya (1/2 makes the juice sweeter)
1 handful of cilantro or parsley (or both for deeper green juice)
1 cup of fennel (stalk can be used too)

If you like, throw in some beets or carrots too, or add a small piece of garlic or ginger.

Note: It is best to drink your juice on an empty stomach.

Acne Removal Secret Weapon #3: Green Smoothies for Acne

Do green smoothies remove acne directly? Of course, not.

You are NOT going to apply them to your face or other affected areas of your body, I promise!

You are going to apply them internally, i.e. you will be drinking them two or three times per day, every day.

The Green Smoothie is essentially a blended salad made with fruits and leafy greens, with some optional water, blended at high speeds to smooth consistency. Generally, hard or savory vegetables such as carrots or tomatoes are avoided. Only fruits and leafy greens are included.

Great Ingredients For Your Green Smoothies

GREENS: kale, bok choy, chard, spinach, parsley, romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, mint, basil, cilantro, or other.

FRUITS: bananas, pears, apples, mango, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, kiwi, pineapple, melon, papaya, watermelon, grapes, or other.

VEGGIES: cucumber, celery, avocado (small amount only).

Some fruit and green combinations you may want to try:

• Spinach with bananas and strawberries
• Spinach with apples, bananas, and some lemon or lime juice
• Spinach, bananas, peaches, mango
• Romaine lettuce with bananas
• Romaine lettuce with cucumber and bananas
• Romaine and celery with blueberries
• Parsley and ripe pears
• Parsley, celery, apple and pears

Add 1-2 cups of water and blend until smooth. Adjust proportions to your liking. Try to experiment with different greens and fruits. Fruits are added for sweetness, so make sure they are really RIPE, especially bananas. Beautifully ripened bananas look like this:

When you are just starting out with the green smoothies, you may want to add just a little bit of mild tasting greens (such as spinach), to let your taste buds get used to the taste. Start adding more greens of various kinds (many of them are stronger tasting) later on.

Here are more ideas for your delicious green smoothie creations. Feel free to adjust the quantity of ingredients:

Here are a few sample smoothie recipes for you:

•1 head of spinach

Acne Removal Secret Weapons #4

Salads, soups, vegetable stews, steamed veggies, etc. Eat as much as these as you desire whenever you are hungry.

The goal is to fill you up, so that you don’t crave all the unhealthy stuff that causes your acne problems.

Eliminate all processed foods, all dairy, and meats (or at least limit them).

Try that for a couple of weeks and see how you feel.

I once watched a Youtube movie about Accutane – where a person is showing her results with this medicated treatment over a period of a few months.

I only have to wonder what effect would taking this kind of strong medication for such a long time have on her body.

There are many more video accounts about acne that are really painful to watch.

Why not take the time to produce something truly wonderful – a healthy skin and body – with natural foods and healthy lifestyle.

What do you think about that?

If you are interested to learn more about foods that are truly health promoting, read the books I am recommending on my “Get Rid Of Acne” blog – they truly changed my life. You may notice that none of these books is specifically about acne free diet – but they will surely help your overall health and improve your skin condition.

Your body will thank you for it with beautiful, healthy, glowing skin!
