Home Treatments for Acne

There are many over-the-counter adult acne treatments to unblock
pores, reduce bacteria and dry out pimples. They contain the acids or
antibiotics benzoyl peroxide (such as Neutrogena On-The-Spot), salicylic
acid (such as Stri-dex), sulfur or resorcinol (such as Clearasil Adult
Care).
Perhaps the most common effective home acne treatment is twice-daily
application of an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide in combination with
gentle skin cleansing and the use of a moisturizer. Shampoo your hair
daily, especially if it’s oily, and tie it back so it’s out of your face.
Avoid touching your face. Take a look at your cosmetics and creams. They
should be water-based or "non-comedogenic" formulas. Take off all
make-up at night.
Maintain a healthy diet. Stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains. Eat foods containing healthy omega-3 oils
such as ground flaxseeds, salmon, and sardines. Drink six to eight large
glasses of water a day. Vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as chromium and
zinc, all play a role in reducing and preventing acne. Avoid refined
sugar, fried foods, and trans fat (such as milk, milk products, margarine,
and any hydrogenated vegetable oils). Some people find that chocolate,
caffeine, carbonated beverages, iodized salt, shellfish, wheat and/or milk
products aggravate acne.
