Is there such a thing in this world as a free lunch?  Well perhaps not but there are certianly a lot of free appeziters available and for those of you looking to try before you buy an acne remedy, there are dozens of acne-fighting products who will gladly give you a free sample.

If you are attending a dermatologist, you will find that he or she will have a cupboard full of free samples and depending on how broadly you smile or how cheeky you are you could even up with enough sampples to cover you for a couple of weeks.

And then there is the Internet.  you just have to look around you and offfers will literally jump off the page.  Bear in mind some wil want for you to pay for the postage, but if it is a brand that has beeen recommended or one you simply must try, it is much better than shelling out on a whole bottle, only to find it doesn’t suit you.

And then the best of the free cures – Mother Nature.  Oh yes, long before we had pharmaceuticals, we had acne, and there are lots of home made remedies to try.  Such as orange peel or lemon juice, garlic, an egg white mask, coconut water or green tea all of which have their claims.  And I know some who have experimented by spreading yogurt or olive oil over the affected areas with alleged positive results.

What I do know for sure is that the best treatment is preventitive, and by keeping a healthy diet and drinking plently of spring water, you skkin will look revitalised and refreshed.  It may be hard work, but it’s more pleasant than zit popping.
