Acne home remedies can often be far more beneficial than standard acne products administered by the doctor. This is simply because they work very gently on so many different levels. Spots and pimples and their more aggressive counterpart acne, all stem from a common cause of a surplus of sebum being deposited onto the skin. Secreted by the sebaceous glands this natural oil is what we have to thank for keeping our skins glowing, soft and supple. In teenagers in particular, hormonal changes mean glands over produce which can lead to problems of greasy and spotty skin. Acne home remedies work by not only balancing the hormonal levels causing this, but also clear infections and unsightly blackheads on nose and chin areas.

In situations when there is an overproduction of oil, the skin has no way of using all of its supply and so excess oil sits on the surface of the skin. Over time the glands become blocked but continue to produce more of the oil. A buildup quickly leads to blockages in the pores. The oil simply has nowhere to go. The secret of how to get rid of pimples is finding a way to clear the buildup and reduce the inflammation which arises from this. For a comprehensive understanding of acne, check out All About Acne.
Our skins also manufacture a very helpful bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes whose job it is to protect our bodies from invasion by infection and other alien bacteria. However, when it becomes trapped within the pores its chemical structure changes and in turn affects the structure of the oil within the gland. Gradually inflammation begins to build, and we recognize this a spot or pimple. Over time inflammation becomes infected and acne can become a very real problem.
It is a popular misconception that unsightly blackheads on nose areas in particular are resultant of dirt in the skin, but this is not the case. Our skin naturally produces a chemical called melanin when exposed to sunlight, it is what makes our skin becomes tanned. If melanin is formed within a blocked pore, it oxidizes and changes color taking on the dark appearance we recognize as blackheads. Although blackheads on nose and chin regions are the most commonly affected, they can in fact be formed anywhere on the body. These facial areas are often worst affected in people have a greasy T-zone across the forehead and then down the nose to the chin.
The best acne products are ones which contain not only an astringent to cut through the grease and debris which remain on the skin but also aim to balance the hormones which cause the initial problem.
