Natural ways to treat acne without chemicals

About 80% of adult acne is a continuation of acne that a person first started suffering as a teenager and for the rest 20% of the people, they had never experienced acne as a serious problem before and suddenly when they are in their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s they see it as a regular occurrence. Some of the common causes of adult acne include, Hormonal Imbalance, Stress, Polens, Pollutants and Personal care products, bad diet and too much exfoliation. In this article, I am sharing 8 very effective ways to treat acne without using any chemicals and completely naturally.

Types of Pimples

• Whiteheads – remain under the skin and are very small.
• Blackheads – clearly visible, they are black and appear on the surface of the skin. Remember that a blackhead is not caused by dirt. Scrubbing your face vigorously when you see blackheads will not help.
• Papules – visible on the surface of the skin. They are small bumps, usually pink.
• Pustules – clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are red at their base and have pus at the top.
• Nodules – clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are large, solid pimples. They are painful and are embedded deep in the skin.
• Cysts – clearly visible on the surface of the skin. They are painful and are filled with pus. Cysts can easily cause scars.
