Natural Acne Treatments
Not exclusive to teenagers, acne and breakouts can be a real battle for adults experiencing hormonal fluctuations and dealing with elevated levels of stress that ultimately leave acne scars, pigmentation and red spots on your complexion. Breakouts are often associated with stressed skin and poorer skin health. Aside from natural acne treatments, adopting a natural skincare regimen that supports the skin’s microbiome and protects the skin barrier will build healthy resilient skin that will not only have fewer breakouts but recover more quickly when you do experience that unavoidable hormonal zit.

Breakouts and acne happen to every skin type. However, can be more frequent if you are prone to an oily skin type; the key to acne treatment at home is reducing the inflammation in the skin. The best natural acne treatments treat the skin holistically, with calm and gentle natural ingredients that work to balance oil and sebum production, to not only reduce breakouts but also redness and excess oil.
When looking for home remedies for acne fight the urge to buy into “oil control” and “mattifying” skincare products. These products tend to mask the issue and will only exacerbate the problem in the long run. Like attracts like. This is the golden rule when addressing breakout and oily prone skin. Oil-based actives and treatment face oils will not only clean and support the skin with antibacterial and antiseptic properties but also balance the natural oil production, resulting in less shine and less grease. It is remarkable how quickly this approach works for oily skin types and is the best first step in any natural acne treatment plan.
Hormonal breakouts can be challenging to address and while they may never completely stop, supporting your skin to ensure it is healthy and resilient will mean your skin will recover much quicker. If you have a hormonal breakout, do not pick, apply a natural acne treatment serum after your morning and night cleanse. Treat the resulting red mark with a face oil to fade. If you are a daily foundation wearer, we see improvement in the frequency and severity of breakouts when making the switch to mineral makeup. The skin-loving ingredients in natural makeup are non-comedogenic, helping to keep pores clear and the skin calm.
There are a few key tips to managing breakout and acne skin. Keep your routine simple and diligent. Cleanse well both morning and night, keep your skin hydrated with a calming natural moisturiser and add an all-natural spot serum that fights pimple cause bacteria and reduces inflammation rather than simply drying the skin.
The Best Remedies for Pimples and Acne
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid with gentle but effective exfoliating properties. All-natural Salicylic acid is not to be confused with the aggressive and damaging synthetic version. Natural Salicylic acid is typically derived from fruit and works to gently increase cell turnover and dissolve blackheads and impurities in the pores.
Jojoba Oil contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties that help to fight pore clogging acne and breakouts. The biological profile of Jojoba oil is similar to that of the oil (sebum) our body naturally produces. It works to balance and soothe the skin without clogging pores.
Activated Charcoal effectively cleanses the skin, unclogs pores, removes deeper impurities, and dead skin cells. Resulting in smooth, supple, and even-toned skin.
