Acne is a common skin condition that many men and women suffer from, including teens and adults as well. For many people, acne can be embarrassing and can result in a lower self esteem and a lower sense of confidence. Acne conditions are usually caused by clogged pores and the excess production of oil sebum on your skin. The excess in oil could be a direct result of over active hormone levels in your body.

However, whether you are suffering from the occasional breakouts and blemishes or even more severe cases such as cystic acne problems, there are several techniques that you can use to help clear your skin of acne and blemishes and improve your skin's complexion. All of the following remedies are all natural and can be used from the comfort of your own home.

Try gently rubbing lemon peels on the skin with a little bit of sugar. If you leave this treatment on the skin for about 10 minutes, it should help reduce acne inflammation and reduce pimples as well.

Avoid using skin care products and cosmetics that may be oil based. If you use skin care products that are oil based, it can make your blemishes worse than they already are by clogging your pores.

Try using a Vitamin B complex. This helps you keep a healthy looking scan and also helps prevent blemishes. You can find natural sources of Vitamin B in tuna, bananas, and potatoes.

Zinc works like an antioxidant. Zinc is important for maintaining a healthy skin and prevents skin infections. Zinc can also help in healing acne scars by healing tissues. You can find good sources of Zinc in nuts, pumpkin seeds, dairy products, and yeast.

Don't wash your face by scrubbing your skin with harsh abrasives. If you use harsh chemicals and skin scrubbing cloths, you will actually irritate the skin which can make acne problems even worse than before. Your skin reacts to these harsh abrasives by clogging your pores with puss and producing more oils as well.

If you have sensitive skin, avoid using acne treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide. Products such as OxyPads, Clearasil, and ProActiv contain Benzoyl Peroxide as their active ingredient. However, using products like these can irritate your skin and cause it to dry out. If your face dries out and peels, it can often look worse than before you started using the acne treatment.
