Living with acne can be very difficult, and even more difficult to find just the right acne treatment for you. There is hope -- keep researching, learning and testing and you'll find the right treatment for you. Keeping your skin clear doesn't have to be a trying experience with so many cheaper natural treatments available today.

Acne is one of most common skin conditions in the world, affecting more than 40 million people. Acne is the most common skin disease. There are several different types of acne. The most common types of pimples are whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

Check your shampoo to make sure it isn't causing pimples or other breakouts on your forehead. New studies show that during times of high emotional stress, such as during exam time in high school, there are more acne breakouts; are stress hormones the culprits? Scientists are trying to find the cause of acne and working on ways to prevent plugs.

Make sure to stay out of the sun if you're taking any acne medications. There are many natural acne home remedies; you may have to try several to find one that works best for your skin type. One helpful remedy seems to be to use ice to reduce the swelling caused by inflamed pimples: rub it over the blemishes for 2-3 minutes.

Any makeup you use should list on the label non-acnegenic or non-comedogenic. Use exercise such as Yoga and Tai Chi to improve blood flow to the skin and support the healing process; it also boosts the condition of your internal organs which allows them to eliminate toxins more effectively. Treatment with raw apple cider vinegar will work better on your skin if it isn't already noticeably irritated from acne medicines, acne products or other failed treatment.

Make sure not to use hot water on your face, always use lukewarm water. Use baking soda on a test area carefully for exfoliation, if you feel you need it. Try a diligent application of coconut oil several times a day and at bedtime to see the healing benefits.

Some natural home remedies include dabbing on non-gel toothpaste or lemon juice to dry out zits. Drinking lots of pure, filtered water may be one of the most important things you can do for your acne, working from the inside out. This is a little messy but you can try making a paste by mixing three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon together and applying the paste on your pimples at bedtime for two weeks, and wash it off each morning; honey has anti-bacterial action - a cheap, natural home remedy.

It bears repeating, you want to be good to your skin and never pop or squeeze a pimple no matter how tempting. It's easy to treat acne cheaply, simply, naturally, yet effectively, at home.

Whether you eat a natural diet of living fruits and vegetables or eat dead junk food, what you eat may have a direct or indirect affect on the male hormones which may or may not play some part in acne. Besides external acne treatment it's even more important to work from the inside out too. Adding a lot of fresh, raw fruit to the diet has helped many people clear their skin up; there are tons of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in fruits.

Essential fatty acids are particularly important to people with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and acne. Drink lots and lots of pure, filtered water every day.

For an easy fiber boost, mix in two tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds into raw applesauce, from two to three apples, made in your food processor. Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids. Eat at least two organic apples a day while working to clear up your skin; apples are good for skin health - organic so you can eat pesticide-free skin (most of the apple pectin is in the skin), which helps with constipation.

The two most common digestive concerns that affect your skin are not enough water and not enough fiber. Get plenty of sunshine on your arms and legs; sunshine triggers the production of Vitamin D3 which is essential to having healthy skin.

Don't give up - try everything you can until you get relief from your acne. Analyze all the acne treatments available and make the best decision for you, based on your circumstances. Fortunately, many people have discovered through trial and error how to cure their acne.
