My article will not be complete with defining what acne is. I know you probably already know this but please just bear with me, I promise that it would be short and sweet. Acne is a skin condition that shows up as different types of bumps. They include whiteheads, blackheads, red bumps (pimples) and bumps that are filled with pus (cysts). How then does it happen? It’s caused by a problem with the sebaceous glands which produce sebum. When the channel through which the sebum reaches the skin surface becomes blocked, the dead cells forming the blockage can turn black, hence causing blackheads. If the blocked gland situated at the base of the blockage becomes infected, a reddened inflamed spot may develop. Acne is particularly common among adolescents because of hormonal activity on reaching puberty. Severe acne especially if goes untreated can leave long term scars and pockmarks.

The best type of acne treatments are the ones that are non drug or natural remedies. Some of the traditional remedies for acne include using various herbs as facial steam. One of these steams consisted of chickweed, elderflower and marigold, used in equal parts. Agrimony applied externally was also thought to be curative. Another remedy involves the spreading of sulphur ointment over the infected areas. Another natural cure involves mixing two ounces of clover flowers, two ounces of nettle tops and two ounces of comgrey flowers with four pints of boiling water and simmering this until only two pints are left. A wine glass of the resulting liquid was to be taken every three hours. However before you try any of these remedies, it’s advisable to consult your doctor to ensure that you’re not allergic to these ingredients.
