• Don't Let Acne Get You Down - Three Tips To Help You Get Rid of Those Annoying Pimples


    Straight up, acne sucks! I should know. I suffered with acne basically my whole way through junior and senior high school. Boy, am I sure glad those days are long gone. Every morning you wake up only to have to look at your reflection staring back at you screaming, "Help!" Our appearance and more importantly how we feel about ourselves has a direct influence on our overall self-esteem and our feelings about ourselves. Having a low self-esteem can and will only cause negative happenings in your life.

    So, of course when you are suffering from acne, you have a negative outlook about yourself. You sometimes don't even want to get up out of bed. You don't want to go to that friend's party or that job interview. Acne has serious effects on all different parts of our lives. What is acne and why do some of us have it worse than others? Well, as you probably already know, acne is a serious skin condition which surfaces itself in the form of pimples. There are white heads, black heads, call them all what you will -- in my opinion, it's all acne in one form or another. Some people tend to have the condition worse than others simply because of who they are. That sounds strange, right? Well, it's all in your DNA makeup. Some people, sorry to tell you, are simply pre-conditioned, programmed to have acne. I know it doesn't seem fair, but it's one of the many hard facts of life.

    Now, how can you get rid of your acne easily? Finally, that's why you're reading the article in the first place, right? Let's discuss a few natural ways that you can get rid of your acne fairly quickly. There are so many products and home remedies out there. How do you know which one will be right for you you're probably wondering. Well, I'm no physician, but I can give you advice and tips on what has worked personally for me and still works to this day. Okay, here we go.

    Remedy number one would be to go get yourself some tea tree oil. This oil is simply just awesome. It has so many great properties that it's literally impossible to count them oil. It's an antiseptic and anti-fungal agent, among other things. But be careful, this stuff is quite strong on the pores. All you'll need is a small dab of this stuff on a cotton swab and you'll be good to go. Don't smother your face in it or else you might just pass out. A small dip of a cotton swab into the liquid and a small dab to your affected areas will surely be all that you'll need.

    The next quick tip is to make a homemade paste of some good organic plain yogurt and some natural steel-cut oatmeal. This concoction makes for a very nice facial mask. You don't have to worry about any chemicals in this recipe. It ingredients as you can see, are all natural. This remedy can seriously do wonders for your skin conditions, especially acne. What you'll want to do is apply it to your face and leave it on for at least one hour. Yes, your face will feel weird and might even get hard, but if you apply this treatment at least once every other day to your face, you will start to observe that your skin is much healthier looking, less red and irritated, and free from pimples of all kinds.

    Last, but not least, if all else fails, you could try one of those over-the-counter creams, lotions, or face washes designed to help you get rid of acne. Back in the day, we used Clearsil or Noxema. Today there are so many other options available to you. Proactiv is widely known and very popular. Does it work? I'm can't be sure because I've never used it. It used to only be available to order from an infomercial. However, now you can find it regularly at your local drug stores and even Walmart. A product like this includes a facial cleanser, toner, and repairing lotion that you will be instructed to use once or twice per day depending on the severity of your acne.

    The choice is up to you whether or not you decide to use an all natural home remedy to get rid of your acne or a store-bought product. You could also consult with your dermatologist for advice as well. The bottom line is that you simply do not have to suffer with acne forever. Take action and the necessary steps needed to get rid of your acne for good, so your self-confidence will soar with positivity and radiance.
