Acne is an irritating skin condition that is faced by most people at one point or another in their lives. Severe acne causes redness of skin and can lead to itching, irritation and the development of pimples. Acne is most commonly found on the face and can also lead to the development of blackheads. These are pores that get clogged with dirt and the oily secretions of the skin. One may use home remedies for acne and blackheads. The first thing to do is to clean the face so that the pores have every possible chance of being open.

Some home remedies for acne and blackheads can be made using home based products. An almond paste can be prepared and applied to the affected area. This paste should be washed off once it has dried. When washing the face, one can use a medicated soap for acne blackheads treatment. This type of soap will ensure that bacteria and fungus are avoided. It is also important to make sure that oily deposits are cleaned off the skin. A face wipe tissue may be used for the same purpose. It is important not to scratch or rub the skin too much as this could worsen the condition.

What are it's causes ?

Hormonal changes are one of the most common causes of acne and this is the reason why many people suffer from acne during teenage years and adolescence. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menstruation can also result in acne flare ups in many women. On the other hand acne can also be genetic in a number of people. People who have a history of acne in the family are more prone to suffering from acne problems themselves. Another one of the common causes of acne could be the use of certain medications. Although vitamins are important for the body, excess intake of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 can result in a flare up of acne in many cases. Some of the other common causes of acne also include stress, dietary factors, pollution, make up and excess production of sebum. On the other hand one of the main causes of blackheads is the build up of sebum and skin oil which blocks the skin pores. Dirt on the face and body encourages bacterial growth and can be one of the major causes of blackheads. The combination of oily skin and dirt can worsen the problem further and cause severe acne and blackheads on the face.
