One of the most popular skin conditions globally is acne. The skin condition affects millions including both genders. It also does not discriminate by age, contrary to popular belief as sufferers of acne do not all find that the condition disappears after the teenage years. This skin ailment affects the self esteem and is uncomfortable and as such sufferers often seek refuge in prescription and over the counter drugs. The sad thing about these drugs is that they may be pricey or may carry unwanted side effects. This is what has led many to the search to find a natural treatment for acne that works and doesn't burden the pockets.

Just as with the pharmaceutical alternatives, there are topical as well as internal remedies for acne. Nature produced internal remedies for acne are foods that experts recommend that people include in a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables are examples of foods that experts advise help to keep the embarrassing skin condition away. Fruits and vegetables help to provide the right nourishment to keep the skin healthy.

One key dietary adjustment for general and skin health is hydrating the body. Water is a known anti-toxins agent. It eliminates and reduces toxin levels by flushing them from the body. People are therefore advised to ensure that they drink enough water each day. It is advisable though, to drink water that is as natural as possible as many commercial drinking water products have undesirable additives..

Aloe Vera is one of the most popular topical natural treatments for acne. It is a plant that is found in tropical and subtropical climates around the world. The plant has been used for centuries as a means of improving the health of the skin. Users of Aloe Vera apply the gel like contents to the skin and let it sit there for a few minutes before washing it off. They also include this substance to their drinks and smoothies. Some even consume the plant's internal sections without adding anything else.

The plant's inner section is what is used to reduce or eliminate skin problems. There is a substance that resembles gel within the plant. It is this substance that is either rubbed onto the skin or consumed. The antimicrobial properties of Aloe Vera, helps to ensure that pimples, cysts and other breakouts on the skin are deprived of the right conditions in which to thrive.

Honey also makes a great remedy for skin conditions. Just like Aloe Vera, it has been used for centuries to ensure that pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and other similar types of breakouts are avoided. Honey has astringent, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. When used topically it helps to reduce scarring. Another feature is shares with Aloe is its moisturizing property.

Many people have reaped the benefits of home made facial masks. Ingredients such as honey and Aloe Vera are combined and used topically to address the scarring as well as the breakouts. The masks are made daily or every other day, unless a way is found to preserve them for longer periods. Many people store them in their refrigerators to extend their lives.

Simple solutions are available for those who suffer from this and other dermatological conditions. The ingredients are often in the kitchen of health enthusiasts anyway and for others they may be in the backyard growing. Some amount of research and experimentation may be needed though, as each individual's skin is unique.
