No matter how old you are, acne can destroy your self-esteem, sometimes leave scars and actually be painful, perhaps looking into natural acne remedies can help.
Not only do many of these herbal products work, but they also are not as drying or damaging to your skin.
First of all, try to rule out a few reasons why you are having pimple or black head problems.
Make sure you're drinking plenty of good clean water, washing your face at least twice per day with a gentle cleanser, and that your diet isn't too full of chemical additives.
In other words, make sure you're eating right and that your diet isn't full of quick meals such as frozen pizza, pre-prepared foods such as TV dinners, or that you're eating a bunch of processed sugar or fat products.
Your diet does play a bit role in how your skin can fight the unsightly blemishes associated with most problems.
Then turn to your internet to find natural help for the problem.
There are several well-known acne home remedies but you need to discover the type of acne you have in order to use the most effective ones for yourself.
And be aware of any product that says it can cure your skin completely, most of them don't work, and many are very expensive.
You'll want to discover if your acne is hormone level sensitive, whether it's food or vitamin sensitive, or perhaps it's stress related.
Try to keep a diary of when your problem is the worst, then figure out what you were doing before that may have caused it.

Just remember, it's your skin and it has to fight dirt and debris everyday, the more you can help it with diet, exercise and cleanliness the better off it's going to be.
