It is not necessarily true that makeup aggravates your acne. Though cosmetics such as foundation and powder can clog up your pores, they also keep your skin dry. This helps avoid the buildup of excessive natural oils in the skin, which is a cause of acne. In fact, there are certain types of makeup that are non-comedogenic, which are purposefully made to eliminate the problem of blocking the pores. Bovista is one homeopathic remedy that is effective in treating acne that is a result of the use of make-up.

People have used turmeric and yogurt to treat pimples for ages, and though they soothe the skin, these are ineffective in treating acne. The myth that a dirty face is the cause of acne has no factual basis. In fact, when you wash your face too often, it dehydrates your skin and this causes your body to overcompensate for the loss by producing an excess of natural oils. This excess of natural oil in your skin is the real cause of acne. So washing your face is not the answer to your acne problem. Homeopathy offers an effective way to control as well as prevent the occurrence of acne, with a medicine called Belladonna.

This is one wives tale that you should not fall for. Toothpaste does not treat acne, though it does dry your pimples out and may give temporary relief from the situation. On the other hand, toothpaste can dehydrate your skin or cause rashes to develop. Toothpaste consists of menthol, alcohol, baking soda and other ingredients which are useful for cleaning teeth and not for the face. Many natural homeopathic remedies such as Natrum Muriaticum have proven to be highly effective in dealing with acne.
