Have you been searching for natural herbal acne cures or trying to find a gentle dermabrasion for acne scar removal? Well, look no further. Read on to learn the secret on how to find natural remedies for acne; that are chemical free, yet effective enough to deliver the results you want. Many people are battling both acne breakouts and acne scars from older breakouts… it seems to be a never ending task.

The main reason for acne breakouts excess bacteria and oil production – which clog up hair follicles and pores just below the skin’s surface. So it sounds simple, just keep the skin clean – right? However the problem is many acne face wash products and scar removal products are so harsh and over drying, that you wind up irritating the skin and promoting even more oil production, which leads to more breakouts and acne scars!

So the key is to find an acne wash and cleansing gel that is pH balanced, organic, and contains plant/herbal and botanical extracts. It should be gentle enough to help heal the skin, while strong enough to kill acne causing bacteria without irritation.

Skin care specialists have confirmed that salicylic acid is one of the best ingredients (powerful enough, yet still gentle) to dissolve clogged pores and reduce excess oils, whiteheads and blackheads. It can also help to minimize pores and wrinkles/fine lines, and stimulate collagen production. Nice side effect!

Dermabrasion Acne Scar Removal

Well, salicylic acid is also very effective in thinning out thick, raised scars and fading red/blotchy acne scars. Use this combined with a good dermabrasion scar removal cream and you can have professional results for much less cost in your own home. But again, it’s important that your dermabrasion cream is also gentle or even better organic. Acne prone, scarred damaged skin is very sensitive and must be treated gently. A good dermabrasion cream can also be used to heal sun damaged, uneven skin tone, and reduce fine lines by lightly exfoliating the top layers of your skin with tiny abrasive microspheres.

Regular use of a good organic dermabrasion cream will leave your skin feeling smooth, soft, clean and shiny – while preparing it to absorb your favorite anti-aging creams – allowing for even better results. The best way to use a dermabrasion cream is to apply it on clean dry skin and buff in a circular motion using the tips of the fingers. Then rinse well and follow with an oil free moisturizer or even better a sebum regulating moisturizer to control oil production and future breakouts.

In addition to using an organic dermabrasion cream for acne scars, make sure your cream contains specific plant and herb extracts that especially helpful for acne prone skin including:

* Rosemary Extract
* Sage & Yarrow
* Sea Kelp
* Chamomile

Research shows plant/herbal and botanical extracts are powerful enough to get good results without over drying or irritating acne prone skin leading to more blotches and red spots. The key to successfully treating acne prone or acne scarred skin is finding a product that is gentle, yet powerful enough to reduce acne breakouts and thin/fade out scarring.
