Natural Acne Solutions: Virgin Coconut Oil

Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2)

Virgin coconut oil is gaining popularity as one of the healthiest oil. It has many medicinal properties including antibacterial--good for killing bacteria that causes acne--and skin moisturizing--because it contains a lot of fatty acids. It also replenishes the skin's natural oils that were stripped off by harsh commercial skin products.

Virgin coconut oil is not only good for the skin but a healthy, natural solution for problems in other parts of the body: hair and scalp, yeast infection, sun protection and even underarm deodorant. Other people also find that it helps in weight control, diabetes, thyroid problems, digestive problems and other viral infections. Truly a miracle oil.

But be sure to use only virgin (or extra virgin), raw, unrefined and cold-pressed coconut oil to ensure it's effectiveness. It's also better if you can get the organic variety. The more natural, the better. And don't heat or microwave your virgin coconut oil as heat destroys it's curative properties.

Natural Acne Solutions: Lemon

Lemon is another old and effective acne cure that's been passed on from generations to generations. Lemon juice extract contains citric acid which is good in exfoliating the skin, by removing dead skin cells and allowing new cells to grow. Applying it directly on the skin leaves you with a clean and fresh feeling as it is said to flush out dirt from the pores. To use it topically, just wet a cottonball with a freshly squeezed lemon juice and dab it on your pimples. It might sting especially if the pimple is scarred. You can dilute it with water if pure lemon juice is too strong or stingy. Leave it on for a few minutes or even overnight, then rinse. You can also squeeze lemon juice in water and use this as a rinse after cleansing your face. A glass of fresh lemon juice daily is not only a cool refreshing drink but also a great detoxifier. It cleanses the liver of toxins, allowing to effectively process vitamins and minerals that our body needs.

Natural Acne Solutions: Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is an old-timer when it comes to holistic healing. It's made from extracting juice from apples, putting them in wooden barrels and adding yeast to start the process of fermentation. When using it as a natural remedy , it's important to buy the organic or unpasteurized apple cider vinegar because it's the one that contains all the health-giving benefits. It has a cloudy appearance because of the presence of "mother of vinegar", a harmless bacterial substance that forms at the top of the vinegar as it matures. Processed and filtered ACV are reported to be not as potent as the organic types. As an acne treatment , you need to dilute it with water (1 part ACV to 3-4 parts water) and apply directly on your face with a cottonball. You leave it on for a few minutes and rinse it off afterwards. You may have to do this process a few times daily, frequency depending on your acne condition, to see the effect. You can also increase the proportion
