Acne rosacea is a red rash predominantly on the face. The most common type of acne is acne vulgaris. The cause of acne is really unknown. It's not true that dirty skin and stress cause acne. Understanding that hormones may have some influence on the cause of acne needs to be considered. For a good acne treatment, that has worked for many, try applying virgin coconut oil daily, but on a small test area first.

A number of treatments are currently available to remove or improve acne scars. Acne scars result from increased tissue formation, response to the inflammation of acne and loss of tissue. Healed acne leaves scars in some people however, and it isn't easy to predict who will end up with scars after an acne outbreak and who won't. The liver sluffs off toxins from bad foods, drinks, drugs and chemicals and sends them through your skin resulting in skin eruptions, acne, pimples and other skin disorders.

In any case, no matter what skin or acne treatment you choose, whether it is chemical, drugs, alternative, or natural methods, changing your diet will result in your overall good health! Drink lots and lots of pure, filtered water. Some alternative doctors recommend eating raw cloves of garlic daily for acne. Eat high-fiber snacks like raw nuts, raw seeds, and dried fruit, such as dates, and figs. Consider taking cod liver oil or fish oil supplements every day. Eat at least one organic apple with the skin on every day. Unclean skin favors the development of pathogenic organisms - the dead cells that continually slough off of the epidermis mix with the secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and the dust found on the skin to form a filthy layer on its surface.

Many skin conditions can be converted into healthy skin using natural home remedies. Pick two or three home remedies or natural treatments and try them out on your skin carefully.
