Only the person who has suffered form acne knows the pain and agony of having them. Endless visits to the doctor, grabbing every new product launched and trying every possible trick passed on from generations is perhaps a part and parcel of your life by now. Rather than over exposing your skin to all possible concoctions of medicines and creams it is any day safer to try some natural treatments that have no side-effects and if they work they would only benefit you.
Carrots and tomatoes are known to work like magic on acne. Carrots being rich in Vitamin A and beta carotene are very effective for stopping acne and curing the existing breakouts. Carrots can be taken in any form; you may add some to your diet or make a juice and have every morning or make a puree and mix it with some honey to have a wonderful paste. Organic carrots would work even better if they are an affordable and viable proposition for you. This is because they are completely free from harmful chemicals and would do much greater benefit to your sensitive skin.
When consuming or applying carrots you should never peel it, as it has the maximum Vitamin A. While washing the carrots you can use a brush to ensure that all the soil has been washed off rather than peeling the skin. An early morning carrot juice is very good for keeping away acne and would also reduce scars. You can prevent having breakouts if you include carrot in your daily diet.
For removing stubborn scars you can take some carrot juice and blend in some sea salt. Rub this well all over the face, massage well, let it dry and wash off with plain water. Be careful and give your skin only a light massage as the sea salt can cause itching and abrasions if you rub too hard. The whole procedure is very similar to the micro-derma abrasion for which you pay huge amounts in salons. Do it once a week to maintain a healthy glowing skin. On newly erupting acne you can apply some carrot juice to prevent its growth and to avoid scarring too.
Tomatoes being rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamin C&A are another excellent solution for treating acne naturally. It works really well for people with oily skins as it controls the oil secretion and controls breakouts. Just like carrots you may add some raw tomatoes to your salads and also make a paste and apply on the skin.
Tomatoes are a natural astringent and help to close the open pores of the skin that attract dirt and cause breakouts. It promotes cellular regeneration and keeps the skin glowing and clear from any blemishes and scars. Tomato works well with honey and both can be mixed to make a paste and applied on the face. Tomato and avocado mask is also one of the preferred treatments for getting rid of acne and maintaining a lovely naturally clear skin forever.
