Get Rid of Acne Naturally

Contrary to what you have always been told, acne is not caused by surface impurities such as dirt. Acne is actually caused by blocked pores. Sebum (oil) which normally drains to the surface gets blocked and bacteria begins to grow.

So, contrary to what I was told as a teenager, frequent washing may actually irritate pores and cause them to become clogged. A washcloth can add even more irritation. Your best bet is to wash very gently with bare hands, and only wash twice a day.

Here are some natural remedies for preventing and healing acne:

Herbs

• Tree Tea Oil: One of the most effective acne treatments! A powerful antiseptic. Massage a drop into the blemish.

• NATRIA ACNE TREATMENT GEL: A powerful combination of natural ingredients that treat the most common concerns associated with acne, helping to clear current blemishes while preventing future breakouts.

  Salicylic acid encourages proper exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and unclog pores.

  Licorice extract helps maintain a balanced moisture level while alpha-glucan oligosaccharides help create a beneficial skin environment.

  Algae extract and Artemisia princeps leaf extract provide skin-soothing properties.

  Apply a thin layer evenly over face until completely absorbed. Follow with moisturizer as needed. Use morning and evening. For best results, use in conjunction with the Natria Balancing Regimen.

• PSYLLIUM HULL: Take daily to clean your colon which will aid in clearing up your skin.

Aromatherapy

*Note: Most essential oils should not be used during pregnancy...Please read labels before using.

• CHAMOMILE, ROMAN: Apply a drop directly to blemish. Serves as a inflammatory agent.
• GERANIUM: Massage a drop into the blemish. Has properties similar to an astringent.
• CEDARWOOD or LEMONGRASS: For oily skin, add a few drops to a bowl of boiling water, lower your face to the steam, and cover your head and the bowl with a towel for 10 to 20 minutes. (You can also treat a pimple by applying a drop directly on the blemish)




• LAVENDER or ROSEWOOD: For dry skin, steam with a few drops of either oil.

Traditional Home Remedies and Natural Solutions
