Top 10 Natural Treatments for Adult Acne

These Natural Solutions Will Help You Get Your Adult Acne Under Control and Keep it Gone

If you have, or know someone who has, adult acne, here are some natural therapies you might want to try to relieve your condition. These natural acne treatments are much easier on your skin than conventional acid washes and creams. You might notice that if you try the natural solution, your skin will be glowing like never before.

Manuka honey can be used instead of a face wash. I actually use it in the shower for my whole body. It is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. No, it isn't sticky. Just squirt some in a wash cloth and use just like you would any other liquid soap. Try it one time, and you will be amazed!

For more stubborn acne, try mixing a few drops of tea tree or rosemary essential oil into the Manuka honey you use for your face wash or in place of your shower soap. Both have been proven effective at reducing the bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungus issues that can be the cause of acne outbreaks. If you just can't get past the idea of using honey as a body or face wash, Thursday Plantation makes a Tea Tree soap that is awesome at controlling acne outbreaks, without drying out your skin.

Warm compresses and steam facials are also highly effective at controlling acne. Heat kills bacteria known to be associated with acne. However, if your acne is caused by yeast, steam and warm compresses can make it worse. Yeast likes a warm, damp environment so pay attention if you choose this solution for your adult acne. If it seems to be getting worse, stick to other methods, such as tea tree or rosemary essential oil which are clinically proven to control acne that is caused by yeast.
