According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States.
Occasional breakouts and chronic acne plague tens of millions of Americans of all ages every year. About 85 percent of teens experience some type of acne, but even many adults deal with at least occasional breakouts too. About half of teens and young adults suffering from acne will have severe enough symptoms to seek out professional help from a dermatologist.
From mild to severe, acne can cause painful and unsightly outbreaks on the face, back, chest and even arms. Left untreated, acne can also lead to diminished self-esteem and long-term hyperpigmentation or scarring. Genetics, changing hormone levels, lack of sleep and stress are all contributing factors to acne.
The good news is this: many safe home remedies are available right in your kitchen cabinet for this horrible situation. Below is the top 11 Natural Holistic Homemade Face Mask For Acne:
