How do you get rid of acne naturally?
I have a lot of acne and it bothers me because all of my other friends have near perfect skin and they all say they use proactiv but that didn’t work on me at ALL so could anyone tell me if there are really good natural ways to get rid of acne?

ACNE:
Once viewed as the bane of burger-eating, cola-guzzling teenagers, acne also affects plenty of adults as well.
In spite of what your friends have told you, breakouts aren’t the product of poor hygiene or poor diet. At the root of the of the problem is an over production of sebum, a waxy substance that clog the pores and leads to blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.
So what you can do when your skin won’t act its age? Treat it with kid gloves. That means no harsh soaps or frenzied scrubbing. Women should avoid oil-based cosmetics, which can clog pores and encourage breakouts. The natural remedies found below – used in conjunction with everyday hygiene – may help prevent or relieve acne, according to some health professionals.
Aromatherapy:
Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic that is gentle to the skin and speeds the healing of blemishes, says Laos Angeles aromatherapist Michael Scholes, of Aromatherapy Seminars, an organization that trains professionals and others in the use of essential oils. He suggests apply a single drop of tea tree oil directly to the blemish after cleansing.
Ayurveda:
Angry-looking red pimples filled with a yellowish discharge are a sign of excess pitta dosha says Vasant Lad, B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To control acne, he suggests adopting a diet that includes plenty of bland foods such as oatmeal, applesauce and basmati rice and eliminates fried foods, spicy foods and citrus fruits.
Dr. Lad recommends this daily routine for cleansing your face: First, wash your face with chick-pea paste, made by mixing one teaspoon of chick-pea flour (available in most health food stores) with a little water. Dry with a clean towel. Then apply a paste made by mixing one teaspoon of almond powder(you can make your own by grinding peeled almonds in a coffee grinder0 with a cup of goat’s milk (available in most health food stores). Let this almond-paste mask dry on your face for a few minutes before washing it off.
Food Therapy:
Acne may be cause by consuming the wrong foods, says Elson Haas, M.D., director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, California. For some people, acne may be triggered because they’re sensitive to sugar, wheat, chocolate – foods that are more acid irritating in the body,” he says.
“What happens is these foods can cause more mucus and pus in the hair follicles, clogging up pores. Other times, acne may be the result of intestinal yeast, and when you give up cheeses, baked goods, sugar and other yeast-producing foods, the skin clears up.”
Herbal Therapy:
Take black currant seed oil or evening primrose oil, both of which are available in most health food stores, says Barre, Vermont, herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, author of Herbal Healing for Women and other books about herbs. The standard adult dosage for both of these herb is three 500-milligrams capsules a day, according to Gladstar.
She suggests taking this dosage every day for thee months or until your acne clears up, whichever comes first. Black currant seed oil is less expensive than evening primrose oil and works just as well, he says.
Juice Therapy:
“Acne is a signal that the organs of excretion aren’t functioning optimally,” says Elaine Gillaspie, N.D., a naturopathic physician in Portland, Oregon. She recommends stimulating the liver with a blend of one part beet juice, three parts carrot juice and two parts water to help clear the complexion from the inside out.
