Acne – Not Just A Pimple
It was known that acne was basically caused when the pores are choked by sebum. These sebum oils which in the normal context would drain to the surface get blocked and bacteria start to grow. These bacterial formations could be termed as whiteheads and blackheads. Whiteheads are formed when the bacteria and sebum are trapped below the skin surface. In the same manner blackheads are formed when the trapped sebum and bacteria are slightly open to the surface and turn black due to the melanin, the skin pigment. Read more

Apple Cider Vinegar For Acne Scars
Did you know that you could use apple cider vinegar for acne scars? This is one of the best all natural acne scar remedies. Let’s take a closer look at how and why it works and of course how you can start using apple cider vinegar for acne scars.
Apple Cidar Vinegar helps with your acne scars by clearing any infections and getting the redness and swelling to go down as well as by preventing new acne scars from forming. The acid in this home remedy helps flush out the pores and cleans your skin. The vinegar works as an astringent, removes excess oil, acts as an antibacterial solution killing any bacteria that may have built up in clogged up pores and also normalizes the skin’s pH level.
Apple Cidar Vinegar can be used in two different ways to clear up acne and prevent acne scars. Combine both methods for one of the most effective home remedies for acne out there.
Clean your skin twice daily and apply apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball or clean cloth. Use like you would any regular toner by wiping the soaked cotton ball or cloth all over your face and neck. Pay close attention to the areas of your face that are most prone to acne breakouts. If you notice a lot of oil and dirt on the cotton ball after wiping your face, repeat the treatment with a clean cotton ball or cloth. Follow this treatment every morning and before bedtime at night.
At least once per week, or more often if you are noticing a bad acne breakout, “steam clean” your face with the vinegar. Pour of boiling water in a large bowl. Drape a towel over your head and place your face over the bowl. The steam will loosen any dirt and oil on your skin. As with your daily acne treatment, pour some apple cidar vinegar on a clean cotton ball and apply it over your face to remove the loosened dirt and oil. Once your face is clean, dap a little more vinegar all over to close the pores and prevent dirt from building up again.
Clogged pores are the main culprits of acne. The clogged pores provide a breeding ground for bacteria, which causes the pores to get red and swollen. By cleaning your pored and removing the dirt and oil that clogs the pores you are taking some important measures in preventing new acne scars from forming as well as aiding in the healing of current acne scars.
