the glitch

Finding the right acne treatment for your unique skin can be both challenging and frustrating.

There are so many different products on the market that all promise a clear complexion, and yet it is next to impossible to really tell which ones will actually give you the results you want.

On top of all that, how are you supposed to tell which ones will be gentle on your skin? You do not want to have to deal with itchy, red, dry skin from harsh chemicals in addition to your breakouts.

What you need are safe, natural acne treatments that you can trust; here are some at home skin remedies that are not only safe but also effective!

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea is a natural, anti-inflammatory ingredient that has a big impact on breakouts, possessing the power to reduce the swelling and redness of your acne. In order to use it effectively, soak a chamomile tea bag in cold water and apply it to your skin for thirty seconds.

You can also use chamomile tea as a mask–combine a few teaspoons of it with a banana until it makes a paste. Then smooth that paste onto your skin.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has acne-healing properties that are comparable to those of the strong acne-fighting ingredient benzoyl peroxide. Though tea tree oil technically works a bit slower than benzoyl peroxide does, it cures your acne without the dryness, stinging skin, and irritation that comes with benzoyl peroxide’s harshness.

Tea tree oil is most effective on acne when it is diluted and can be found in health stores.

Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto is an all-natural herb that is a common ingredient in many popular acne products. Like tea tree oil, Saw Palmetto supplements can be bought at health stores.

Strawberries

You may be surprised to hear that one of your favorite fruits possesses the ability to cure acne, but it is true: strawberries really can fight acne! Strawberries are a natural source of the acne-fighting ingredient salicylic acid.

You can create an effective acne-fighting mask with strawberries. Once a week, mix 1/2 cup of strawberries with a tablespoon of sour cream and applying it to your face.

Strawberries are so effective at eliminating your zits and clearing your complexion that even simply cutting a strawberry in half and rubbing it on your affected areas can have an impact on your skin.
