Traditional Acne Skin Care Products VS Home Remedies For Pimples

Every time you turn on the TV you're blasted with ads for the latest and greatest acne skin care products.  Same thing goes for magazines and the internet.  Convincing acne ads are everywhere!  How are you supposed to know who to trust?

The answer: you aren't supposed to trust any of them.  Those acne skin care products only work for some people, and usually it's temporary.  As soon as the acne bacteria gets used to the product and builds up tolerance, the acne product or medication won't work anymore. 

So why would the professional models and actresses claim that "this bottle of so-and-so changed my life?  Because they're getting a big fat check for doing so!  99% of models and celebrities know that in order to look good, you have to be healthy.  They eat well, and therefore have balanced hormones and clear skin. 

See what I mean?  Most big acne companies just can't be trusted.

I have had much better results by cleansing and taking care of my body - along with using home remedies for pimples, than I have ever had with traditional acne skin care products. 

Check out some natural acne cures here and here.  These are real cures that will clear your acne up in the long term.

Here are some home remedies for pimples that you can use right now for healthier skin and treating individual breakouts:

• Pure Aloe: I know, it sounds too simple to be effective, but using pure aloe to spot treat pimples works amazingly well.  Place a small dab on zits at least once a day, and in a few hours most pimples will be half the size they were originally. 
• Emu Oil: I simply rub a few drops of Emu Oil all over my face at night because I use it as a moisturizer.  Any pimples that I had became a lot smaller or disappeared by the next morning.
• Tea: All you need to do is save a few drops of your favorite tea (real tea – not herbal) after in your mug.  Alternatively, you could brew a cup just for using as a home remedy for pimples.  Dip your finger in and dab lightly over breakouts.  The tannins and anti-oxidants make skin look great.  Taking tea internally is also great for acne and health, so start drinking up!
• Potato: Yes, I said potato!  These inexpensive and tasty vegetables are great for soothing skin irritations and drawing out toxins.  Simply cut a small piece of a raw potato and hold it over breakouts for 3-10 minutes at a time.  After a few hours your pimple will have reduced in size dramatically and improved in color.  However, eating too many potatoes is not good for your skin, because the simple carbohydrates turn into sugar and mess with your hormone levels.  As you know, this can easily lead to breakouts. 

These home remedies for pimples are excellent ways to spot treat existing pimples and the occasional breakout.  Changing your lifestyle, though, will give you even better results!
