Homemade Cruelty-Free Acne Treatment

Spread the love

Acne can be as mild as a few pimples that pop up once a month to patches of red or purple acne all over the face and body. In severe cases, the best thing to do is visit a dermatologist. In many cases, he or she will prescribe antibiotics to help “break the cycle” internally, followed by topical medications to help treat blemishes on the skin. Topical medications may include prescription soaps, creams, or gels that may have to be used frequently in the beginning ad less frequently once the acne is under control.

If you have moderate acne, prescription medication may be prescribed, although the products may not be as strong as the ones used for severe acne. In cases of mild acne, you might be able to get away with a number of non-prescription products to treat acne or even at-home treatments. Let’s start with homemade acne treatments.

Fans of the DIY approach to acne swear by good old-fashioned H20, a diet consisting of fruits and vegetables, adequate amounts of sleep, and exercise. They also swear by keeping your face clean in order to keep the pores cleansed and the skin bacteria free. It is important to keep in mind that this may work for cases of mild acne only. Next, you can try applying an oatmeal mask. Simply cook oatmeal, apply to face, let dry, and rinse with cold water. It is believed that oatmeal masks help control oily skin, which many believe is one cause of acne.

Another homemade acne treatment is a honey and apple paste. A grated apple mixed with honey is believed to help control oil, bacteria, and provide essential vitamin A and C to the skin. This home remedy should be used 2-3 times a week for best results. Tea tree oil (left on skin overnight) as well as yellow dock, burdock, and sarsaparilla can be used to treat mild to moderate acne. Vitamins B6, A, and zinc may be taken orally to help control acne as well. Again, it is important to note that not all-homemade acne treatments work for all. The type of treatment and length of treatment time will depend on the individual.

Cruelty-free Companies that Sell Natural Skin Treatments for Mild

There are a number of cosmetics companies that sell natural skin treatments for mild acne. Some of these treatments may or may not work for mild to moderate acne, but for those that prefer to avoid harsh chemicals, it may be worth a try.

Cruelty free acne treatments are available through top skin care companies such as Almay and Beauty Without Cruelty. Many of these products are safe for vegans, vegetarians, and most people with sensitive skin.

Almay has been in business since 1931. Even back then, Almay used pure, hypoallergenic ingredients that were safe for even the most sensitive skin. Almay was the world’s first hypoallergenic cosmetics brand, and the first brand to make 100% fragrance-free products. It was also one of the first cosmetics companies to disclose all ingredients used, the first brand to perform safety testing for allergy irritation, the first brand to formulate for contact lens wearers, and the first brand to create cosmetics regimens for specific skin types. Almay does not test on animals and it uses natural ingredients such as soybean, rosehips, licorice, and aloe, to name just a few. Almay products can be purchased online through the official website or at any beauty supply house, cosmetics retailer or drug store. www.almay.com
