Acne is one of the most common skin disorder suffered by teen and elderly people. Homemade acne treatment requires only natural ingredients that can often be found right in your kitchen.

To investigate the homemade acne treatment you must first understand the cause of acne itself. Acne results from oil blockages in the pores of the skin; when an excess of oil blocks pores, the skin begins to trap dirt and bacteria causing acne to develop. Often times, addressing acne means addressing the general cleansing of the skin. The homemade acne treatment can be a viable, cost-effective way to thoroughly cleanse skin and eliminate acne.

Using lemon juice as a homemade acne treatment can be quite effective. Lemon juice acts as an astringent, sloughing away oil and drying out pores. Since lemon also contains Vitamin C, it addresses any vitamin deficiencies that the skin may be experiencing.

The same process can be used with garlic juice, mint juice, and many other natural products. A simple application at bedtime will allow your skin to experience all the benefits of the homemade acne treatment overnight. In addition to cleansing and treating your acne, some homemade acne treatments have been shown to minimize acne scarring.

As these home remedies are made of natural herbs, fruits, vegetables, spices that are easily available in our kitchen or garden, they are inexpensive, easy to make and above all 100% natural and free from harmful effects. Nutrients present in these home remedies not only cure acne but also give ultimate nourishment to your skin.
