Top 10 Natural Ways to Treat Acne

If you're pimple-prone, then you may need acne treatment right away. Acne is a serious skin condition that recurs especially when your skin is oily, but you don't have to suffer from it all your life. Below are ten tips on how to treat your acne naturally and prevent that from coming back.  

1. Do not prick, rub, or press your pimples. These actually make you more prone to the increased production of sebum. This may rupture your skin membranes. When the sebum and infection spreads, you can have more pimples. Avoid rubbing, pricking, or pressing your pimples because you also increase the risk of developing scars on your face.
2. Wash your face with water and mild soap. Go for soaps made for sensitive skin like yours. Avoid heavily-perfumed soaps on your face because they only make your condition worse due to heavy chemical ingredients. Use soap with benzoyl peroxide. In addition, avoid brushes, sponges, and anything similar. However, avoid washing your face too much because it only stimulates your sebaceous glands to make more sebum which increases the development of acne.
