The Most Effective Acne Treatment May Not Be the Most Expensive

Are you looking for an acne cure? Have you tried all the different types of treatments that a beauty consultant and a dermatologist told you about and still the treatment just doesn’t work for you? Well, this is the story of most of us who have haplessly spent huge amounts of our hard earned money on fancy treatments which work only while we keep going back to the clinic. But have you ever wondered why it is so? Well, I’ll just share a small story here with you which I read some time back in a Roman story book.

The story goes like this. In a particular year during the winter months half of the city’s population fell ill. After a lot of investigation and research, the king came to know that it was the city with the maximum number of doctors. The king immediately ordered that all the doctors be hanged. Most of the city’s population was declared absolutely healthy within days of the hanging of the first few doctors. I hope you must have got the meaning by now.

Acne is a disease which has got no permanent cure and therefore how so very expensive the treatment may be it still is just temporary. There are many cures which cost far less and still work more or less as effectively as their costlier counterparts.

For example there are many lotions and other acne treatment programs like Zenmed’s Derma Cleanse which costs just under $100, Clear Pores which costs about $80 and is purely herbal or Proactiv Acne Treatment which costs close to $60. Now compare all these programs with a single sitting of Laser Resurfacing technique which costs anywhere from $3000 to $5000.

Apart from that acne can also be cured by many homemade remedies. Aloe Vera has been proven to cure acne if consumed regularly. It helps in the reduction of toxin levels in the body which ultimately leads to reduction of acne.

Green tea extracts similarly contains anti oxidants which fight the free radicals in the skin and the toxins present in the body to help in the reduction of acne.
Another very commonly used acne treatment in the Asian sub continent is cloves. Clove paste not only acts as a disinfectant and anti-bacterial but also helps in opening the pores of the skin which give way to the formation of new skin.

Another great make-at-home remedy for acne is juice of bitter gourd. It is no doubt very bitter but is an effective blood cleanser which ultimately helps to reduce the acne.

Most of these make-at-home remedies barely cost a few dollars and are as effective as any other treatment for much less. It is just a myth that the costlier the solution the better it is.
