The truth is it is unknown as to why some people get acne and others do not. There is so much information out there, myths, truths and untruths. It is possible to treat acne naturally, in some cases.
What causes acne? Genetics play a role as do hormonal changes like menstrual cycles, pregnancy, puberty and the like. Stress is another factor in break outs. Many disagree, but from my own experience, acne breakouts happen in stressful situations. However, everyone is different and though some may experience acne breakouts in stressful situations, others may not. It is simply the way a body reacts to certain things, situations, foods, weather conditions, etc. Everybody is different and what may bother one person doesn’t necessarily affect another.
How does acne form? Bacteria that form in the pores are a common cause of pimples and blemishes. Therefore, it is important to fight the bacteria. One way is to cleanse with a mild cleanser twice daily; and throughout the day, dab the oily areas of your face with a tissue or cotton ball to control the oils.
The fact remains, though, if you do suffer from acne, you need to find the solutions and ointments and treatments that work for you. Just as everyone is different and not everyone suffers from acne breakouts, so too are the medications–some work for some people while they do nothing or little for others.
Chamomile, naturally, has anti-inflammatory agents that can help your acne breakouts. To treat acne naturally you can try something already in your kitchen cabinets–chamomile tea. Prepare the chamomile as directed and allow to cool. Then, soak a facecloth or cotton balls with tea and apply onto the face.
