Main causes of acne

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the causes of acne are many and can vary from person to person. The most common factor is excess oil production due to overactive oil glands, that combines with dead skin cells and clog your pores. As a result, bacteria on the skin multiply making pimples appear.

On top of that, there are also other factors that can cause acne or make it worse, like stress, genetics, nutrition and menstruation. Which is why it’s so important to know the best natural remedies for acne.

#2: Exfoliate regularly

As said above, clogged pores and dead skin cause acne. Unfortunately, to solve these problems regular cleansing might not be enough, in which case you need some extra-maintenance. Remember to exfoliate regularly and gently, using a natural scrub and without applying too much pressure on your skin. You can even create your DIY scrub, for example with coconut oil and sea salt or brown sugar.

#3 Apply a healing mask once or twice a week

Facial masks are among the best skincare natural remedies for acne. Once or twice a week, try to find some time for yourself and apply a mask made with natural antioxidant ingredients like cinnamon or clay. On top of being a good solution to fight bacteria, it’s the perfect excuse to relax for a while (great against stress!).

Remedy for acne number four: remember to moisturize your skin constantly. Most people falsely believe that acne-prone skin needs to be made as dry as possible. However, if you dry out your skin too much, this will trigger an increase in the production of oil, which causes acne. It’s important that you find a balance: cleanse your skin and use a moisturizer to nourish it and avoid dryness.

#5: Healthy lifestyle and

Lifestyle plays a big role in fighting – or causing – acne. Healthy nutrition, drinking a lot of water and exercise are all effective remedies for acne, as well as avoiding unhealthy habits (junk food, smoking, etc.).

Live as stress-free as possible and use regularly natural skincare products to maintain your skin beautiful and healthy.
