 Most acne researchers and scientists believe that acne is caused by excessive growth of bacteria in the pores of your skin. However it is important to find out how this bacteria ends up in your pores and grows so much in the first place. If you can stop this bacteria from growing in the first place then you have solved your acne problem at its root and will not ever get acne again.
Many teenagers suffer from acne and the main reason for this can be attributed to increasing hormone levels which then triggers the growth of acne causing bacteria. For most teens time is often the best cure as it will take time for their hormone levels and body to adjust and their skin to return to normal. However there are many that believe that acne can be made worse simply by what you eat which is something that you do have total control over.

 At one point all of us have been trying to find ways on how to be completely acne-free. Here are some natural and not so natural acne treatments that are proven to be effective.
1. Witch Hazel Astringent
This astringent comes from the plant with the same name. It is widely spread from Nova Scotia in Canada down to Texas and Florida. Simply steam the twigs of this plant and voila! The extract you get from it serves as your astringent. Remember to cool it though. Whats good about this is that it occurs naturally and even the process it has undergone is all natural. You can be assured it is less harsh compared with commercially-produced astringents.
2. Commercially Produced Astringents
There is no doubt that astringents we can buy over-the-counter are also effective. There are lots of variants to choose from with additional ingredients that promote better skin.

What is true is that diet plays an important role in all the body's systems and therefore it does have a minor role to play in whether acne is more or less likely.
For instance, eating greasy foods does not directly turn into increased oil production in the sebaceous glands that contributes to acne, although foods that do increase the oil production would of course have an effect.
