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.
The occurrence of acne can often be linked to a persons genetics. If you parents or grandparents had severe acne, then you are likely to also have severe acne. Of course, there is nothing we can do about your genetics (at least not today), but there is another factor that we can do something about. That factor is hygiene. When we speak of hygiene we aren’t usually talking about someone that doesn’t have any hygiene skills, it’s just that there are certain ways that are better than others for taking care of acne. Follow the list below for examples of natural acne solutions.
1. Get your recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables to balance your body’s chemistry and you’ll be surprised at the how well you feel afterward.
2. Use rose water to clean you face. Simply use it at least twice per day to keep your face clear and refreshed.
3. Don’t Wait - Waiting for a pimple to form is like admitting defeat. Take control and do something about before it is a full fledged zit. Try patting some ice on the swollen location to reduce the swelling and release the poisons in the pores.
4. 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.
5. Try a cucumber mask by combining a cucumber and water in a blender to make a cucumber paste. Apply the paste to your face for about half an hour and then rinse off. This is a cheap cleanser and will leave your skin feeling very refreshed.
6. 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.
7. Cleansers - Avoid using cleansers that contain alcohol because it will tend to dry out your skin. Alcohol free cleansers will be much gentler to your face and body.
8. Pick and choose your makeup carefully because many contain petroleum products and will dry you skin out which isn’t necessarily what you want. You want to keep your skin clean and fresh not dry and flaky.
9. Water - This is perhaps the most important element of all. Drinking at least the recommend allowance of water per day if not more will help keep your body hydrated and tends to flush dirt out of our bodies.
Use the list above and really try it. Always start with the easiest solutions before trying to move into the expensive and invasive treatments. And note that not all illnesses need to be cured with harsh medicines and chemicals, your body will thank you in the long run.
