Acne is most commonly related to hormonal changes in the human body. Hormones drive most of how your body reacts to things so it makes sense that this would cause acne to appear. Hormonal changes cause your pores to become clogged basically due to an increase in oil production. Luckily, there are herbal acne remedies you can mix up right at home, save some money and treat your pimple problem simply.

Home herbal treatments explained:

Homemade natural treatments for acne include mostly things you may already have in your kitchen or bathroom. Some of the following home herbal acne remedies for pimples, blemishes, blackheads, zits or whatever you call acne will be less common, but affordable and easy to find.

Plain yogurt + oatmeal – Yogurt has natural cultures with good bacteria and oatmeal is a skin soother. When mixed together into a paste and applied to the skin it helps to get rid of itchiness and helps to moisturize the skin as well as clearing the pores of oil.

Organic tea + dried basil –  This is a less commonly known natural pimple remedy, but it is effective. Tea is soothing and has many antioxidants and basil is one of nature’s pore cleansers. You simply brew up a couple of tea bags, throw in a couple of dried basil leaves and apply to the affected areas. You can also find basil tea to drink and let it work from the inside out for treating acne.

Tea tree oil – Before you use tea tree oil, make sure you dilute it. It is just too strong to use right on the skin. 1 part tea tree oil to 9 parts distilled, purified water or for sensitive skin use aloe vera gel in the place of water, makes a great topical application you can use like an astringent. You can also mix up a mask with tea tree oil and organic green clay powder you can leave on for 30 minutes one or two times a week. This mixture can also be used for spot treating blemishes.
