What Are the Best Acne Treatments for Sensitive Skin?

Finding the best acne treatments for sensitive skin is a real

challenge! Those of us with sensitive skin often break out into a

rash in reaction to the ingredients in many acne skin care

products.

Some of the common ingredients that are in most acne treatments

such a salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can cause allergic

reactions and skin irritation even for people who don't normally

have sensitive skin.

In addition, researchers have discovered that these ingredients

can other health effects on the immune system, and in the organ

systems of our bodies.

Salicylic acid in particular is of concern because it is absorbed

through the skin into the bloodstream and where it is transported

to many other parts of our bodies. It is linked to neurological

and developmental problems, and so it is not the best ingredient

to use for acne treatment for sensitive skin.

What Acne Remedies Can You Use?

Well, those of us who have sensitive skin might not be able to

use a lot of the acne remedies that you find at the drugstore,

but we DO have a lot of other options.

The key is to learn how clear acne by creating a more holistic,

natural acne treatment program that helps to balance the whole

body.

You will find as a result that not only is your complexion

clearer, but that you feel better and have more energy!

Natural Acne Cures

One of the absolute best acne treatments for sensitive skin is to

modify your diet. I know, it's not the quickest or easiest

method, but it DOES really work and there are even scientific

studies that show a 50% decrease in acne simply by eating a

healthier diet.

Focus on eating lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and

foods that are organic and as close to their natural state as

possible. Drink plenty of pure water, and gradually let go of

refined and processed foods. Sugar and caffeine often contribute

to acne breakouts, so gradually wean yourself off of these foods

and give yourself healthy substitutes.

Another one of the best acne treatments for sensitive skin is to

take a look at the ingredients in your skin care products. Even

hypoallergenic skin care products sometimes contain ingredients

which cause irritation, allergies or toxic reactions in the body.

Many hypoallergenic products and also natural skin care contain

ingredients which can cause rashes, irritation and even acne

breakouts.

Using a safe hypoallergenic product line that does not contain

toxic ingredients can help to clear acne breakouts. These are not

easy to find yet in stores but as more people are becoming

educated about the ingredients in our cosmetics and skin care

products, more companies will begin to clean up their product

ingredients.

While you are in the process of your natural acne treatment, you

will find yourself at times with eruptions and breakouts.

Sometimes when you start eating healthier, drinking more water

and using less toxic ingredients, your body goes through a period

of cleansing and detoxification. You might feel headachy, or

tired, or you might get a fresh batch of pimples.

During this time when your body is cleansing itself, it may be

helpful to use a natural acne medicine. There are herbal acne

remedies and Chinese herbal remedies that can help to clear an

acne eruption. Because you have sensitive skin, you'll need to

test it first on the inside of your arm. If you get a rash on

your arm, you will know to NOT use that one!

Homemade Acne Treatments

Some of the best acne treatments for sensitive skin can be made

at home! Some people with sensitive skin find relief using a

simple baking soda facial mask. Others find an oatmeal facial

mask soothing and also nourishing for the skin. There are many

other homemade acne treatments you can use such as rosewater and

lemon, ginger, or applying a fresh grated potato to the acne

outbreaks.

There are many homemade acne treatments that you can choose from.

Once you find a natural acne remedy that doesn't irritate your

skin, use it consistently for at least a few weeks. It takes time

to see results, so do your treatments each day, and at the end of

a month you will find yourself with clearer and radiant skin!
