Home Remedies for Acne – How to Prevent Their Possible Side Effects

By -
Acne is one of the leading causes of low self-esteem for adolescents, and because of that researchers have found plenty of home remedies for acne. There are a lot of remedies to choose from if you are troubled by acne; there is detoxification, garlic, increased water intake, the cabbage mask, and plenty more. These natural medications can actually work to your advantage if used properly and wisely. But remember that recklessness in this, much like driving, will do you no good. So it is best if you do your research first and check the possible side effects before trying any of these remedies on your skin.

The first thing you need to know before you try any of those home remedies for acne is your skin type. Remember that not all skin is created equal so it is safe to say that not all acne remedies will also work for you. There are four basic skin types: normal, dry, oily, and a combination of two or more (this means that some areas of your skin are dry while others are oily). Needless to say, medications for oily skin will not work for those with dry skin, and vice versa. Hence, if you use the wrong medication, you might actually exacerbate the problem.

Usually, one experiences side effects to medication because their skin is not compatible with any of the ingredients of the drug they are using. Because people tend to be really excited about having clearer skin, they fail to review what’s in their acne remedy; as a result, their condition worsens and they are pushed back to square one of their treatment. Learn what ingredients are inside your home remedy so that you will know if it works with your skin type or not.

Lastly, do not hesitate to check with a dermatologist first. If after extensive research you are still uncertain about whether or not the home remedy you chose works for you, you can always ask a specialist. Most dermatologists frown upon the idea of home remedies for acne for some obvious reasons, but there are still others who support this. Also, they are the best people to help you determine your skin type. Remember that knowing your skin type is the initial step and must never be skipped.

Home remedies for acne can really be effective and economical, but if they go wrong they can really increase your problems to massive proportions. Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of weight; be patient with your treatment and do your homework first. You likely have already suffered for months, or even years, a few days of research won’t hurt.

Our fingernails (and toenails actually) say so much about our health. It is mind-blowing when you look at the references listed at the bottom of this article the number of conditions of the nails associated with hypothyroidism including Alunula (absence of the Lunula, the little white moons of the bed of the nails), Onychorrhexis (longitudinal ridging of the nails), Beau’s Lines (transverse grooves or depressions of the nail plate), Koilonychia (spoon shaped nail plates), Onycholysis (separation of the nail from the nail bed), Pterygium Unguis (thinning of the nail fold and spreading of the cuticle over the nail plate), Onychomycosis (fungal infection of the nail), Yellow Nail Syndrome, brittleness, slow growth, and thickening. I first heard Dr. Peter Osborne describe the following common symptoms of hypothyroidism he notices in his patients’ nails and it got my mind racing. I dove into studies and books to figure out how low thyroid can affect even our nails. What the heck! Not even o...
