If you are living a healthy natural lifestyle you may think there's nothing you can do about acne outbreaks. Everything you have heard of to treat those outbreaks is laced with chemicals and toxins you don't want in your body. But, what about acne natural treatment? While it may not be in a box on a supermarket shelf, there are acne natural treatment options that deal with diet and even some homemade acne treatments.

One key to clearing up acne is clean skin. You should make sure to wash your skin at least twice a day to remove dirt and oil in the pores.

Additionally, you can try homemade acne treatments to help lessen outbreaks.

If you have oily skin, use a ground up tomato (with the juice strained out) and put it on your face for 10 minutes. This acne natural treatment will use the natural ingredients in the tomato to pull oil from your skin.

Another homemade acne treatment can help to relieve symptoms and irritation in sensitive skin. Mix plain oatmeal with water until you have a thick paste. Put the paste on your skin as a mask for 10 minutes, then rinse. You can repeat this morning and night. ...

The first place you should look to find the root of your acne problem is not the oil in your skin, but the things you are putting into your body. Often acne and other ailments are the body's response to something it's not happy about.

One of the simplest acne natural treatment methods is making sure you are taking in enough water. Your body needs a lot of water, 8 glasses a day, to run the way it should. If you aren't giving your body enough water it may have a tougher time getting waste out of the system. That could meal oil clogging in pores, which can lead to acne.

The next step in the acne natural treatment plan is to pay more attention to the foods you are eating. While you may think you are eating a healthy diet, your body may not agree. Some people are allergic, or have adverse reactions, to some normally healthy foods.

There is only one way to find out if this is part of your acne problem, through the elimination diet acne natural treatment. The word elimination should give you a clue to what this diet will mean. You will have to completely cut some foods out of your diet.

In an elimination diet acne natural treatment, you need to remove certain foods from your diet for a full two weeks. The foods that are recommended to be eliminated (one at a time) are:

Dairy (milk and cheese products)
Wheat (from breads, flour, cake, etc...)
Eggs
Preservatives (processed foods)
Citrus

During that time period, you should pay attention to see if your situation is changing. If your acne is clearing up, you may have discovered the food that is causing the problem. If you make it through the two weeks with no major change, then you should binge on that food, eating it in every meal to see if anything gets worse. If not, you can cross that food item off the list and move to the next one.

Patience and persistence are often necessary when dealing with acne natural treatment, but over time the right combination will be discovered to clear up your acne problem once and for all.
