Natural Remedies for Back Acne and Other Acne Manifestations

Acne, the malady characterized by painful and embarrassing pimples on the face, chest, and back, can be stopped using a few proven natural concoctions. These will do away with acne in the teenage years, as well being great natural remedies for adult acne. They are soothing to the skin and should prove their worth soon after initial use. The mixtures we'll be discussing below are great natural remedies for back acne, facial acne, as well as chest acne.

Horseradish Vinegar

One of the natural remedies for back acne and other acne manifestations is prepared in the following manner: Shredded fresh horseradish is put into a bottle and apple cider vinegar is poured over it until the horseradish is well-covered. (Since the mixture is used directly from the bottle without being strained, a sterilized glass bottle with a perforated lid should be utilized.) The bottle containing this combination is left standing in room temperature, preferably in the dark, for about 30 days.

This natural remedy for back acne, facial acne, and chest acne takes into account that the horseradish takes away the sharpness of the apple cider vinegar, while the apple cider vinegar takes away the hotness of the horseradish. Therefore, the result is a very mild vinegar substance easily tolerated by the skin. Horseradish vinegar should be applied to the wet face and left on for 10 minutes in the mornings and evenings. After 10 minutes has passed, wash it off with cold water.

Chamomile Wash

Another one of Mother Nature's soothing natural remedies for back acne, facial acne, and chest acne is a chamomile wash. If you find that you still cannot tolerate the horseradish vinegar (even though if all directions are followed to the letter it should be quite mild), then try the chamomile wash. Chamomile's antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties should do the job just as well.

Fresh or dried chamomile can be used here, and I strongly recommend whether it be for children or as a natural remedy for adult acne. Preparation: If using fresh plants (not dried), use about 5 flowers and 10 leaves. If using dried chamomile, take a heaped tablespoonful of dried chamomile flowers and leaves. Either way, put the plant parts into a 12-fluid-ounce vessel. Then, fill the vessel with boiling water. Once the mixture cools to about room temperature, strain it of the flowers and leaves. Then, proceed to wash your back, face, and chest with it. Repeat this process daily until your symptoms disappear.
