I can tell you that if someone had shown me these natural remedies for acne back when I was 15 I’m sure my first reaction would have been to dismiss it and continue on with the doctors recommendations. However there was no way I could have known what the following 15 years had in store for me and looking back now I should have taken their arm off trying to snatch it so quickly.

I remember those years very well although without too much fondness I can tell you. Yes I had some good times without a doubt but it was all clouded by my acne treatment and how it effected my entire life. When you don’t even feel like going out to the shops to get a paper in the morning in case you bumped into people that you knew then things are pretty bad.

Natural Remedies For Acne Was Something I Could Only Dream Of

I wasn’t even thinking about any natural acne remedy back then, I was simply happy to keep going to the doctor and dermatologist for their best suggestions on what I should take. They put me on Roaccutane (Accutane) and numerous other drugs over the years to try and combat my skin conditions, I even tried a lot of home acne remedies myself.  Now although they worked in part, the problem was that it was only ever treating the current skin condition and not the root cause of the problem. The real solution is to use natural acne remedies but I didn’t discover that until much later in life. The so called ‘solutions’ they kept giving me just dried my skin out incredibly and my skin cracked so much that my nose was almost always bleeding.  Even with all this though it didn’t get rid of things even 50% so I still had to live with it and on top of that I couldn’t drink any alcohol which for a teenage kid was very hard not to do.

I was always wondering if it would ever just go away naturally and year after year I hoped and prayed it was THIS year that it was going to happen. But as each one went by I started looking to the next to be the time when I could live my life like everyone else. It didn’t really occur to me at the time to look for natural remedies for acne.

Those years were really tough I can tell you but if you’re reading this then I doubt I DO need to tell you because you must know exactly what I’m talking about. I won’t even begin to start on the names people used to call me which in turn killed my self confidence even more. Also for a young teenage kid the fact that I couldn’t even bear to look at myself in the mirror gave me no chance of actually getting a girl to look at me without laughing or saying something offensive.  On top of that I was so worried that if someone did show an interest and we got close I would be too scared to take my top off because I had acne on my back so bad that it sometimes hurt when my shirt would rub on it. This in turn meant that I never wanted to take my shirt off and became terrified if I thought I might have to do so. This was a problem at school especially in activities such swimming, it was just something that I could never do so I missed out on so much.

The Doctor Told Me The Sun Was My Answer If I Was Looking For Natural Remedies For Acne

The doctor told me that the sun was a good natural acne treatment but that was just a catch 22 situation because to get the sun I had to take my top off in public and that meant showing my back which was something that filled me with dread so unless I found a secluded spot all by myself I never got the opportunity to do it.

Now if you have empathised with even a small part of what I have just said then I’m really glad you are here because hopefully you can find the solution that I did before you have to go through the same long years like me. If I can help just one person cure themselves of this disease then this site has served it’s purpose.
