Is it ever possible to feel at home with acne? I guess not. However, many acne sufferers have felt that it is better to be at home when you have acne for that is one place where you can be feel at home with your acne. Not because home shields you from looks that make you feel embarrassed but because it offers really effective cure for your acne. To believe it, just arm yourself with loads of patience to take you through the rigmarole of the world of home remedies for acne on a regular basis and feel the difference over the time.

If you ask is this really possible, I would say yes it is as many have experienced it. Many people may also have tried home remedies but may not have succeeded does not guarantee that you also will not succeed. At least what is the harm in trying when there are no side effects what so ever. In any case, each individual has individual skin and associated problems, not all medication suits all persons.

The best part of home treatment for acne is you do not go any where, all that you need is available at home at no extra cost. Add patience and reap effective results. Just take care for the skin basics by following a regular routine of cleaning the pores with mild soap and plain water and applying face packs regularly. These are made from;  Fuller’s earth and rose water; fruit pulp; honey and lemon mix; turmeric cream and gram flour mix etc. Baking soda mixed with plain water can also be applied on acne. But a little bit of trial and testing is needed as not all treatments suit all skin types.

Have you ever suffered from celebrity acne? Depends whether you are a celebrity or not. Personally speaking, I am not open to having acne or any other problem for that matter named after a celebrity. Hang on, I guess, I have understood it all wrong. I realize that Cameron Diaz acne is not a type of acne. It is termed so as to focus on the fact that celebrities like Cameron Diaz are also prone to problems faced by ordinary people.

Where does this lead us? Perhaps, it could make you feel better about your own acne. At least, you share something with a celebrity, even if it is your acne problem. Or it could lead you to think that if acne can attack celebrities, then you should not be cursing your luck about having acne. As I researched about Cameron Diaz acne, I was amazed at its long history. In spite of all the resources at her disposal, she has a long period of suffering. What started as teen acne has, over the years progressed into adult acne. Even during her mid-thirties she continues to get fresh pimples on her face.

Does this make you realize that it is with the use of clever makeup that she is able to hide her acne? Would you like to do that yourself? Or would you agree with her when she says that her skin has improved after she quit smoking. Using powder sunscreen has helped her as well. But products and medications are a matter of suitability at the individual level. What seems to be more important is the effect of a habit. Stress and unhealthy practices effect the skin is not an acne myth has been proved once more.
