At home acne treatment that really WORKS.

Adult acne, or should I say adult hell! Acne is not fun. It comes with force, lingers far to long, and leaves your skin looking like a train wreck.  So WHY won't it just leave you alone.  A lot of reason factor in the role of acne, hormonal, lifestyle choices, nutrition, stress and there are all different levels of acne too.  So how can we combat this problem when we don't even know why it's happening.

First thing you need to do is drink more water.  No seriously, go drink some water right now.  Even if you think you drink enough water throughout the day, drink more.  If you are a smoker, STOP! And make sure you are getting proper nutrition.  Those are the first steps to getting truly healthy clear skin.

So now for the at home treatment.  I have found that this one key ingredient works on all types of acne, starts treating immediately, and you see results right away, which is what we are looking for.  RESULTS and we want them NOW.

Non-Coated Aspirin - this is your miracle at home cure for any, and all breakout.  Not only is Aspirin an anti-inflammatory that will immediately reduce the redness and swelling but Aspirin also has salicylic acid in it, which is the number one fighting component in combating acne, and great for fine lines and wrinkles as well.  :)

There are a lot of different treatments you can add Aspirin too, including honey, milk, your facial cleanser, you can make a sugar scrub with it, and the list goes on.  But I am going to share one with you that I have seen work and that I would use on any of my clients in efforts to eliminate adult acne.

What you will need:

7-10 uncoated aspirin pills

Fresh lemon

Organic Honey

Coconut Oil

Tea Tree Oil

Baking Soda

Preparation:

Crush 5 -8 aspirin with a spoon, rolling pin, or whatever and place in a small glass dish.  Add just enough fresh squeezed lemon juice to make your aspirin a paste.  If it seems too pasty add more lemon juice, if it's too runny add another aspirin.  Once you have your paste to the consistency you like, add a few drops of the tea tree oil, mix well.

If your skin is dry add the following: A teaspoon of warm (not runny) organic honey OR a few drops of coconut oil and mix.

If your skin is oily add the following: 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda OR more lemon juice and mix.

Directions: 

Apply to the face, jaw, chest or back - any area that is prone to breakouts.  Leave on for 7 - 15 minutes.  Remove with a wash cloth soaked in warm baking soda water.

(Psst: This is also a great treatment for men as aspirin is wonderful for ingrown hairs (i.e. beard acne).

You should notice immediate results.  Your skin should feel heavenly soft and look luminous.  Please use your judgment when concocting your treatment, patch test first.  Make sure you have no allergies to any of the ingredients.  Basically use common sense.  

Note: Honey and any type of natural oil (coconut, almond, olive) are all moisturizers and great for dry skin, and can be applied directly to all areas of your skin.  While acidic things such as baking soda, lemon juice, etc... should be diluted with distilled water when applied to the skin and are all great for oily skin.  Tea Tree oil is a great antiseptic and anti-fungal treatment.
