Acne home remedy may be effective if you have the right understanding about your skin condition, the ingredients and the treatments that you are apply.

1. Causes of Acne

Acne chiefly targets the neck, face, back, chest and shoulders. Teenagers, young adults and sometimes babies are worst hit by an outburst of acne. It generally begins at puberty when there is an increased secretion of hormones called the androgens. Androgens lead to the overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands. These oil glands swell to secrete excess sebum which normally helps to keep the skin well lubricated. When this sebum from the sebaceous glands bond with the dead skin cells, they clog the pores of the skin and form a layer that prevents the outflow of excess sebum the skin does no require. This plug then contracts with bacteria and sensitizes the hair follicle causing it to crack. The red inflammation is called the acne.

2. Cleaning, Scrubbing and Scars Treatment

There are many ways in which you can treat acne. But, if you do not choose to expend on expensive cosmetics or medicines, you may try the effective acne home remedy. The prerequisite to a healthy skin is clean skin. You may wash your face with avocado mixed in water, grapefruit or saturated lettuce leaves boiled in water. The next step after cleaning your skin is scrubbing it for deep cleaning of the clogged pores. You may choose from orange peel, chopped nutmeg, grated peach or ground almonds. Various juices also help to treat acne. Cucumber, lemon or watermelon juice treatment done regularly helps to cure acne and lighten the scars caused by it.

4. Understand Your Skin Condition

Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a common skin condition, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland via androgen stimulation. It is characterized by noninflammatory follicular papules or comedones and by inflammatory papules, pustules, and nodules in its more severe forms. Acne vulgaris affects the areas of skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms.eMedicine - Acne Vulgaris : Article by Julie C Harper Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, blemishes, spots, zits, or acne.

Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. The cause in adolescence is generally an increase in male sex hormones, which people of both genders accrue during puberty.

For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear?or at the very least decrease?after one reaches one's early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will carry this condition well into their thirties, forties and beyond. Anderson, Laurence. 2006. Looking Good, the Australian guide to skin care, cosmetic medicine and cosmetic surgery. AMPCo. Sydney. ISBN 0 85557 044 X.

The face and upper neck are the most commonly affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well. The upper arms can also have acne, but lesions found there are often keratosis pilaris, not acne. Typical acne lesions are comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules. Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne.

Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem and, according to at least one study, depression or suicide.One study has estimated the incidence of suicidal ideation in patients with acne as 7.1% :* Acne usually appears during adolescence, when people already tend to be most socially insecure. Early and aggressive treatment is therefore advocated by some to lessen the overall impact to individuals.
