Home remedies to get rid of acne scars and how to treat hormonal acne

Many people, and maybe you too, don't realize is that the solution to their acne is probably attached to them right now! The solution I am referring to is your hands. How many times when you see that irresistibly juicy pimple do you succumb to your temptation and pop it? And how many times have you said to yourself,"Man if only I hadn't pooped that pimple it wouldn't look so bad." Well its true the more you touch and pop pimples the worse they are. Many times a pimple will rise to the surface of the skin, stay a while, check out the weather, maybe get a sun tan, but if you leave them alone long enough they will go down and vanish. Sure its fun to squirt pimple juice all on the mirror but your face will look worse! Not to mention pooping pimples leaves you at a higher risk for acne scarring. So my TIP numero uno is do not pop pimples, plain and simple. When the acne monster tempts you, just say say no!
Give homemade soaps a try. I don't think you will ever regret it! Getting rid of the "fake stuff" and using only natural ingredients on your skin could be the missing link in your skin care regimen that will make all the difference in the world.
Follow directions. Over-the-counter-products can help you control acne and they contain ingredients that can stop acne before it becomes severe. Ointments, gels and powders containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and retinoids can help dry out pimples. However, follow the directions printed on the box. If used in larger dosages than necessary, it can cause scaling, burning and stinging and severe dryness which can only aggravate acne instead of helping ease it. Your doctor might also prescribe antibiotics to reduce the number of bacteria as well as speed up the healing process of the open pimples preventing scarring in the process.
