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 of the things that sufferers of dermatological conditions are advised to do is to hydrate their bodies. This means consuming lots of water. Water is known as a detoxing agent as it moves toxins out of the body. Many of these toxins, if not removed, would eventually find their way to the skin, resulting in blackheads, cysts or pimples.

One very popular acne remedy that is produced by nature is Aloe Vera. This plant is so popular for skin health in general that it is listed on the ingredients section of the labels of most skin products. The tropical plant is applied to the skin as a sort of mask but it is also eaten by those who wish to improve the health of their skin.

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.

Another of nature's gifts to the acne sufferer is honey. Honey, like Aloe, has been used for ages to remedy dermatological conditions. The bee produced natural remedy contains antiseptic properties that allow it to get into the pores of the skin and remove bacteria that can cause breakouts. It also promotes healing and moisturizing the skin.

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.

There are many remedies for skin ailments that can be found in nature. It may take some researching and experimenting though, for each individual to find the suitable or most effective one. This is so because skin types and acne conditions vary from person to person.
