Natural Acne Treatment: What your Dermatologist Doesn\’t Want You to Know!
What\’s the largest organ in your body? It\’s your skin! Your skin is a living, breathing body part that serves many important functions. It\’s helps to eliminate toxins (one of the reasons sweat smells bad!), and it helps to regulates body temperature (natural air conditioning!), as it protects you from environmental toxins and pathogens.
Your skin is sensitive to it\’s environment. Give it what it needs and it will look health and vibrant. Abuse it and you\’ll suffer a host of problems, including acne.
Acne sufferers are subject to an onslaught of advice and commercials that are designed to manipulate your emotions and get you to buy the newest products. While some of them might produce good results, you\’ll stand a far better chance of success if you avoid the following factors:
SMOKING: Smoking causes a whole raft of physical health problems and there\’s really no GOOD reason to smoke. It causes cancer and heart disease and it causes your skin to get thinner, which reduces blood flow to the skin. Your skin needs blood flow to sweep away the impurities that are causing your acne. If you get nothing else from this article, STOP SMOKING.
TOPICAL STEROIDS: OTC and prescription cortisone creams can be very potent and they can also cause thinning of your skin. They can cause redness and irritation , and other side effects. Cortisone creams address the some of the SYMPTOMS of acne but they do nothing to help with the CAUSES of acne. Just like taking an antacid does nothing to change the spicy food in your stomach, cortisones can mask symptoms instead of eliminating the causes. Try a natural substance like diluted tea tree oil, instead.
ANTIBIOTICS: Your body is host to billions of bacteria, some of them good and some of them not so good. You need a healthy population of bacteria like acidophilus in your digestive tract in order to digest your food. Antibiotics kill good bacteria as well as bad bacteria. \”Good\” bacteria protect you from parasites and bacteria. Antibiotics can cause stress and damage to your liver, so be careful to follow your doctor\’s orders. If you take antibiotics at the advice of a doctor, eat acidophilus-containing foods like yogurt every day.
FOUR-IN-ONE-RAZOR BLADES: Think about it: if your razor has four blades, you may be subjecting your skin to torture. Any shaving can irritate cysts and bumps. Four-in-ones can do it much faster! Give your skin a break–use a single blade cartridge when you have an active outbreak.
Never use these four-in-one razor blades when shaving especially if you have large bumps and painful cysts. The reason is that blades that guarantee the \”closest shave\” will cause severe irritation and will damage your skin. Always use a single blade when having \”live\” acne.
Picking, Popping, and Squeezing. Never, ever, EVER touch, pick or squeeze your acne or zits! Even though there\’s a strange sort of satisfaction that comes from extracting a zit, it\’s not safe. Popping your acne will make your acne worse by aggravating your existing inflammations and pushes the puss deeper and into the pores of your skin. There are safe and effective ways of dealing with small whiteheads or blackheads but I strongly recommend leaving that to a skin care professional. Squeezing acne is almost guaranteed to leave scars on your skin that will NEVER go away.
Excessive Vitamin A. Concentrated doses of any supplement are not NATURAL and they are not always SAFE. Every year, people are hospitalized from overdoses of vitamins. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that it\’s not easily flushed from the body, like Vitamin C. Vitamin A from green leafy vegetable and fruits can be very helpful in resolving acne, but taking too much can cause liver damage. Always read and follow the dosage instructions on the bottle. they\’re there for a reason!
Steroid Creams for Rosacea. Steroid creams can cause redness and swelling. Your rosacea can be very sensitive. Always consult a skin-care professional before using steroid creams on rosacea. Failure to do so may result in intense discomfort.
When you are suffering from acne, it\’s an indication that one or more of your bodies systems are not operating as they should. Acne is an indication that you need to re-evaluate your lifestyle. Rather than slapping some of the latest potion on your acne, take it as an opportunity to consider how you can change your lifestyle so you can be more healthy and vibrant.
