The Basics
“Ahh ... I am
getting Acne” ... Often you get that sad face ON when you see those breakouts
on your beautiful face. Your skin
problems make you feel worse at that point. But have you ever thought what the
main acne inducing elements are? A lot of sweat, that pollution dirt, excessive
oil, bacteria and what not. Hence, the prior target to fight your acne is to
keep a clean and hydrated skin by cutting down the oil clogging on your face.
As the
market is going global with a good response to cosmetics, we all are aware of
the flooded products all around. Due to the availability of so many products we
have no reason but many to choose the perfect one for our skin. Despite of all
this, we all know about the acne treatments that have been induced in the
market. But the simple decision to be ours to lay our hands on the best one.

expensive treatments make your first attempt to be a natural one. Yes, it’s
easy and no investment required when you take up the natural methods to prevent
acne.
Here’s the Trouble!
The main
issue with most of the individuals is that they are unaware of the natural
remedies to acne blast. Say you’ve been facing the acne breakouts on your face
too often. Start washing your face twice a day with a soft soap and pat dry
your face with a clean towel. Keep it gentle , I repeat, BE GENTLE while you

my skin, all I did was to visit my dermatologist and consult them. Post
discussion and analyzation they prescribed me the variably perfect products for
my skin and I had the best acne assorted treatments in hand with me.

to treat every problem in the human body. Be it turmeric that heals the
external wounds to the tropical orange which is good to say goodbye to your
blemishes.

Acne Medicines: What
Works?
What is the cause of
Acne?
We have been
talking too much of ACNE, but ever thought of what is the real cause of it
despite the inducing elements? It’s the blockage of your sebum gland follicle
duct.
The root
problem is a bacterium P. Acnes that infects our Skin. For the curing of this
not one but many medications are available in the market. They are majorly your
acne pills, cleansers, injections, lotions and what not.
Medications you must
know!
Ø Anti Bacterial Drugs: Triclosan, Chlorhexidine gluconate and Benzoyl peroxide are effective
with the 75% for the killing of the Acne Bacteria.
Ø Micro level peeling skin Drugs: glycolic acid, mild acids as well as the Salicylic acid are
certain peeling lotions that help you to open your clogged pores.
Ø Antibiotics:
Lotions and Pills: Tetracycline, clindamycin and Erythromycin can be
applied if in lotion form else they can be consumed when in the form of an oral
pill.
Ø Hormonal Treatment antibiotics: cortisone, drospirenone and Cyproterone fight against the
sebum production and are best for women in terms of the hormone treatment.
Ø Retinoids: retinol,
isotretinoin , Tretinoin and adapaline are the best to preclude
hyperkeratinization of the follicle cells.
Please note: Before picking any of the
medications that are available over the counter, it is advisable to consult
your dermatologist.
As we all
know that these acne treatments are available in the form of pills, injections,
lotions, creams etc , we must not ignore the fact that self medication could be
harmful. So do consult your dermatologist.

supplements:

to all the variants many are available in the market. Components like that of anti-oxidants,
hydrolyzed collagen, vitamins E & C, ALA, Aloe vera , DMAE, Bioperine etc
are present in many of them.

Let’s Get Started: Quick Tips
Control Your Acne
because You’re the MASTER
Ø Physical Exertion: Sports, clothes and workout are the three best things to
get your-self relieved of every exertion. In order to ward off acne all you
have do is keep a watch on your body. Remember, the more your sweat, the more you glow!
Start wearing more lose and cotton friendly clothes and let your skin
breathe.
Ø Cosmetics Undefined: you’ve to go out and look stunning! And without
wearing your winged eyeliner you can’t make those men sweep off their feet! You
do that but take care of certain things. For your information pre-clogging
leads to acne. In order to fight this you must use the products that have non-comedogenic
or oil-free labelled on them.
For your Lips: Use a matte finish and not a
high gloss to avoid the clogging of the pores.
For Your Eyes: eye creams are more concentrated with the moisturizers than the general
creams and lotions. Hence, they are easy in terms of choking off the pores at
the face area.
Ø Diet: before we take on the insights of the diet, there’s on mantra I would
like you to remember: the best one for
your body is the better one for your skin. Do not go by the fad
demonstrations that say diet has no role to play. Indeed that’s wrong. So Acne
fighters, just watch your diet. Those healthy vitamins and minerals will blast
your subdue acnes.
Ø Hygiene’s: BE GENTLE! A healthy skin does not need washing your face
again and again or over scrubbing. All it requires is to wash off the excessive
oil that is causing the clogging of the pores and maintain a PH balance. So do
skip the products that contain “Alcohol” and use the gentle exfoliating
products.
Ø Shave: Ladies and gentlemen, this is not for one but both the
genders. You can wave off your blackheads and whiteheads via shaving (during
the light acnes). This will help you to remove the dead skin cells and prevent
the spreading of the acne bacterium.
Please Note: For itchy and high inflammatory areas,
DO NOT SHAVE.
Though a shaving soap would be enough to solve
the purpose!
The Myth Box
Let’s Face It!
Acne has not
just deceptive but too much of improper information around. But many of the
scientific researchers have proved it to be just the “Dispelled acne myths”. Since
we have a fair idea of the causes of Acne, let us explore some more of it.
Roll Over that
Magnifying Glass
1.
Food and Acne:
Ø This statement has been around from
quite a while. Thus, no scientific proof is to be hovered upon. Also there are
certain people who say that certain foods cause acne’s but this rule does not
apply to all. Foods such as cheese, chocolates, pizzas etc do not fall in this
category. Myth #1 blasted.
2.
Soiled Skin and Acne:
Ø Though we all know the hygiene
mantra, let us know that dirt has nothing to do with the acne causing. Remember
the sebum production and dead cells we talked about in the beginning? That’s
the main cause, it’s under build up. There’s no clogging because of the dirt. Myth #2 dismissed.
3.
Face Cleaning and Acne
Ø “Clean skin helps you prevent acne.”
Here is the Busted Myth #3. This is
not the answer. In fact if you overdo this, you might end you worsening your
skin. Don’t try to remove too much oil. Preserve a little for natural skin
moisturizing.
4.
Acne and adolescents
Ø Though one in five adolescents face
the issue, its same among the grown-ups . It’s not just the adolescents who go
through the hormonal shifts but the adults too. Myth #4 revealed.
5.
Acne and Tensions
Ø Many say that acnes are induced due
to tensions. But scientists have dismissed the theory stating it “Not so big”
of an issue. Therefore Myth #5 Shrugged
off.
6.
Acne can be cured?
Ø Acne is one issue that can be controlled and
prevented but not be cured. Yes, that’s true. But many of us live in a notion
that acne has a permanent cure. Well that isn’t so. All you can do is take care of your skin,
control and prevent it. Myth #6 now fixed.
Lifestyle is a style
statement
The Expert advice
So many
notions and advices on that coffee table for you! But are they satisfactory for
you? Not until you take up an expert advice. Isn’t it? Here we have the right
insights on the “acne tips and tricks” by the experts just for you.
Listed below
are a number of tips that have been helpful to many of the individuals who were
under the acne scammer. Let’s find out which one will be the best for you to
pick and select.
Be the different mint
1.
Be an amphibian: Love water, Breathe
Water:
Ø Water is the most natural remedy to
end almost all your body problems. Due to water being of the alkaline nature
with ph 7.3, we can cling on to water being the most natural yet effective
treatment to say goodbye to Acne. It is
advised to consume eight to twelve glasses of water each day. Water not only
helps you to remove the clogged dirt from the pores and dampens your skin but
also helps you to remove that excess of oil on your T-Zone. Also water is
considered to be a stress relieving ingredient for the human body. Say bye to
sodas, alcohol, coffees etc. and observe
the difference.
2.
No more Stimuli’s:
Ø From sweets to smoke, it’s all you’ve
got to say a “NO...NO” to . Why? because anything that affects your brain and
your nervous system, tends to stimulate much more sebaceous glands that leads
to excess of oiliness in the skin. Thus, oil makes you worsen your pores and
causes more tensions. So avoid than
feeling deprived.
3.
The Diet Watcher:
Ø Hello weight watchers you’re not
alone here. It’s the acne watchers as well. Take care of your food intake. It’s
the low fat food that you need and not just any meal to consume. Remember that
more fats you consume more oily skin you get. Thus, oil production leads to Acne.
4.
Better to stay drunk without
alcoholic beverages
Ø We live in the world of notion where
alcohol is an ingredient for your stress relief. Oh so no! The truth is that
these alcoholic beverages lead you to more skin and acne problems. Its shrinks
your pores, clogs them more and acts akin to an astringent for your skin.
Moreover, you lose on to your sleep cycle as well. Stay drunk on happiness, not alcohol.
5.
You’re Hot when you’re cold!
Ø Either too much of hot or too much of
cold water is what we use. It’s better to use warm water and pat dry your skin
at the acne prone areas. Let your skin
breathe.
The Eating Fleet
Food and Body
We have so
much to talk about food, diet, intake and outbreaks... oops ... Breakouts!
In order to
keep your skin breathing and healthy, it’s important to take care of what you
consume on a daily basis. To prevent acne and blemishes all you need is a good
immune system. Yes you heard it right, a
good immune system.
So let’s get
started with the foods that will help you generate more and more WBC’s (White
Blood Cells) which are the immunity fighters for the human body. Be it face or
body, these foods have worked wonders on many individuals.
The secrets have been
revealed: SIMPLY SHOCKING
1.
Protein strengthens!
Ø The research has found out that 2 to
4 ounce of meat each day helps you to narrow your arteries. Thus, it is
advisable to consume lots of meat. Especially when you are into some physical
activity, meat is best and suitable. Why? Because meat has really less
preservatives as well as additives. Meat produces prostaglandin and is a good
source to control your hormones.
Ø Also avoid the meat and bread combo
as it stimulates constipation that leads to an inflammation in your colon. Due
to the caused inflammation in your colon area, the bacterium tends to dominate
and create more constipation that leads to the acne breakouts. All you need is
a faecal matter that has to be pushed out of your colon and then from the
rectum each day. Take care of it else it will cause you a blood steaming
leading to acne.
2. Grain for your Happy Brain
Ø Oats: a morning bowl of oats which is
full of raisins and topped with honey helps as an anti-inflammation to your
skin. Stay fresh and keep it moisturized the natural way
Ø Brown Rice: its important to rebuild
your skin tissues to say bye to acne. And brown rice is the best source for it
due to the presence of the amino acids in them. Eat teh bowl of happiness
Ø Whole Grains: Magnesium, Vitamin E ,
Vitamin B, Folic acid, fibre and minerals are the main ingredients to a happy
skin. So whole grains are the best to rest your taste buds on to .
3. From the Nuts to the Seeds
Ø Flax Seeds: if you want to live on
the most essential oil for life, omega 3, then flax seeds are a must. These are
rich in fibre and best consumed when in grounded form. This helps you to get
rid of your acne problems due to its anti-inflammation quality.
Ø Sunflower Seeds: Vitamin A, Calcium
and protein are the rich source present in the sunflower seeds. Best suitable
for dry skin and the body building people.
Ø Almonds: Vitamin B, Iron , Magnesium,
Phosphorus, Calcium, protein and Iron are the best substitutes in the almonds.
Its helps you to recover the muscle tissues and is a yummy snack to consume.
Ø Pine nuts: Vitamin A. B, C with Iron
and protein! What else could be great ! do lay your hands on the pine nuts.
Please Note: all these nuts and seeds will be best when
consumed in raw form. Roasting and heating would kill the natural healing
effect that it provides to your skin. Also to note, you can use Flax seeds and
sunflower seeds by blending them into your yummy smoothes . Blend and Enjoy!
