Acne Home Remedies 

85% of Teenagers have zits and Acne Home Remedies can help YOU zap those zits in your own home easily and effectively.

  • For those who suffer from acne, it is not merely a cosmetic problem!
  • You will know, and have probably experienced first hand, that it is a big emotional problem, the consequences of which can often impact on every single aspect of your life.
  • Your confidence goes for a ball of chalk, your relationship with your friends with "perfect" skins disintegrates and the list goes on and on.

What causes Acne?

  • Zinc is good for reducing the production of oil in the skin and plays a big role in balancing hormones, which is known to be another cause of acne.
  • And just by the way, zinc is very good for the immune system and important  to have in this Covid-19 time in our lives.

  • Further research has indicated a lack of Vitamin C in acne sufferers.
  • Pimples are caused by the blockage and infection of the oil-producing sebaceous glands adjacent to hair follicles in the skin.

  • When this blockage occurs, the bacteria normally present in the skin convert into compounds that irritate and rupture small glands, causing inflammation, infection and the much dreaded zits.

  • Research has also shown that acne suffers could possibly have a zinc deficiency.

These acne home remedies are not meant as a substitute for your doctor's advice, but rather, as an holistic approach that can help heal your acne naturally and easier on your pocket.
