Author: Way Char
Many persons prefer to use acne Home remedies to get rid of their acne. There may be a number of reasons behind their choice but whatever the reason may be most persons do not see great improvement after use. Below are 5 reasons these remedies prove not to be as effective as the over the counter products.
Lack of consistency, this is one of the keys to any acne regimen working. If you are not consistent in your use then you would not be able to see any significant results from using your home remedies. We tend to forget to use our acne products and then we complain that it has not worked as we would have expected. Like the products we buy homemade remedies need to be used often and sometimes more often than the topical creams since these products may have less of the active ingredients required to get rid of the acne.
Loss of potency, most things that are homemade require some refrigeration so that their viability would remain. In the event that this has not occurred the products may lose their potency. Additionally home remedies usually do not have the ability to last for longer than 3 days to a week, this is because they are in there natural state and has not been subjected to any form of preservation.
They do not have the active ingredients. There are certain chemicals and enzymatic properties found in these natural products that make them effective in clearing up acne, if these properties are missing then the home remedy will not work to get rid of the acne.
You do not follow a system. The fact that acne clearing requires a systematic approach cannot be overstated. If we are using topical commercial products, there is often a cleanser toner and moisturizer that should be used as well as directions of how they should be used. However acne home remedies do not have these, and we may use just one product and hope to achieve amazing results. So whenever a home remedy is embarked upon a system of cleansing and moisturizing must be adapted.
You lack confidence in the product. Usually when a product is bought we tend to more readily believe that it will work for whatever problem it is recommended for. With homemade remedies however, we usually are not aware of how exactly it would work hence we do not really put any confidence in its ability to get rid of our acne. I am sure you are aware that our perception of things usually determine the results we achieve and would ultimately determine how well the acne home remedies will work.
