Acne is a common concern, and finding the right treatment can be challenging. Here are some proven options, both natural and commercially available, that could help you achieve clearer skin.
1. Witch Hazel Astringent
Witch hazel is derived from the plant of the same name, found from Nova Scotia to Texas and Florida. To make this astringent, steam the plant's twigs and cool the extract. It's completely natural, making it gentler on the skin compared to many commercial astringents.
2. Commercial Astringents
Over-the-counter astringents are effective, offering various formulations with additional skin-friendly ingredients. However, they can be harsh due to added chemicals, so use them carefully to avoid drying out your skin.
3. All-Natural Kitchen Remedies
Your kitchen might hold some unexpected acne fighters. Here are a few:
- Oranges and Lemons: Squeeze their juice onto cotton balls, apply to acne-prone areas, and rinse after 20 minutes.
- Fresh Garlic: Simply peel and rub it on your face.
- Raw Potatoes: Peel and rub the flat surface on your skin.
These fruits and vegetables contain natural extracts that help reduce redness and cleanse the skin.
4. Oral Antibiotics
For severe acne, oral antibiotics may be prescribed to reduce bacteria and inflammation. Consult your dermatologist for the appropriate type and dosage.
- Tetracycline: Commonly prescribed, usually taken on an empty stomach, and not recommended for pregnant women or children under 9. The typical starting dose is 500 milligrams twice daily.
- Erythromycin: Safe for pregnant women and offers both anti-inflammatory and bacteria-killing properties. It should be taken with food and can cause nausea. Discuss other antibiotic options with your doctor to understand their effects and side effects.
5. Topical Treatments
Topical creams, though they might cause dryness and flaking, are effective for severe acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a popular choice known for its reliable results.
