Natural Acne Control - No Harsh Chemicals
by Anthony Stai
Are you being overrun with pimples and zits? Hopefully not, but if you are then lets look at some alternatives to expensive medications and treatments.
To begin with, “what is acne?” Acne is a skin disorder that comes from oils in your pores that comes from your hormones interacting with your skin’s sebaceous glands. The oils gather in a pore and lead to congestion of the pore when not properly cleaned. This is when the acne starts forming. If left along, it obviously becomes a pimple. While it is most noticeable to have acne on your face, you may get acne on your back, neck, chest, scalp, back, and shoulders. When severe acne is left untreated, it can lead to other issues like scarring and sometimes psychological problems such as depression. It is much better to deal with your acne today before it escalates to severe.
Some of the factors that can contribute to acne outbreaks are genetics and hygiene. Of course, we can’t do anything about our genetics except thank our parents. But we can do something about the other factors following the simple steps listed here.
- Fruits and Vegetables - Include at least the recommended daily allowance of 4 to 5 servings each day. Fruits and veggies have an amazing impact on the outbreak of acne.
- Rose Water - Use rose water as a facial cleanser. Simply dip a cotton ball in the solution and clean your face at least twice daily.
- React immediately when you see a pimple starting to appear. Start by cleaning the location which just soap and water. Then try patting ice on the swollen location to reduce the swelling and likely releasing the trapped oils from the pores. Then once again wash and rinse the location again to try to remove more oils.
- Multi-vitamins will help get your body’s chemistry back into balance. Not only will you live healthier but having your body’s chemistry in balance will reduce the hormonal output of your sebaceous glands.
- Cucumbers - I know, we’ve all seen the movies with the ladies sitting on the couch with cucumbers over the eyes. It’s done to produce a laugh but the reality is that it works. Blend some cucumber with water and make a facial mask. Leave it on for about half an hour and then rinse off. This is very affordable and not only helps control acne but refreshes your skin as well.
- Use gentle, mild soaps on your skin. I know it is tempting to use soaps that dry out your skin but then you are just going from one problem to another. Avoid using petroleum based as well as animal based soaps because they will irritate and dry out your skin.
- Avoid using alcohol based cleansers on your skin because they tend to dry it out. Alcohol free is a better way to go and will be much kinder to your face and body.
- All Natural Makeup - Choose your makeup carefully because many makeup brands contain petroleum which will, once again, dry out your skin and that is normally not what the majority of those suffering from acne need. All natural makeup will be much kinder to your skin.
- Drink lots of water. I know, everybody always says drink lots of water. But, don’t you think if everybody is saying that then there must be at least a little truth to it. Well, there is! Do it and you will feel better and your skin will feel better.
Using this list of natural acne remedies you will be able to at least reduce your acne if not completely obliterate it. As a wonderful side affect, your skin will feel better than it ever has and you will have an over all improvement in energy. Say goodbye to your acne today!
