Detox With Natural Acne Remedies To Attain Clear Skin

There are so many acne treatments available simply because there are so many types of acne

It is important to play detective and identify the most likely cause of your acne, before attempting treatment, to ensure you are solving the right problem.

Detox Your Lifestyle - Acne Treatment

• Avoid heavy hair dressings such as pomades and the de-frizzing agents that are used to treat very curly hair. These products smother the skin, blocking the pores and encouraging the formation of blackheads which go on to develop into acne.

• Stay cool! In excessive heat and humidity the body will sweat. The sweat secreted can block pores and the action of constantly mopping excess sweat away from the skin introduces bacteria onto the surface. The combined effect of blocked pores and bacteria leads to acne.

• Avoid applying any mineral oils to the skin – this includes most baby oils, surprisingly. The molecules in mineral oil are too large to permeate the skin; they simply sit on the surface blocking the pores.

• Exercise caution with sunblocks. Some sun lotions have been shown to cause and worsen acne.

• Tight clothing or clothing that rubs can cause acne so wear loose fitting, comfortable garments.

• Be conscious of the cosmetics you are using. Look for any reactions that might suggest your skin is not happy.

• Although acne sufferers should not discontinue medication without the advice of their Dr, they do need to be aware that some drugs - Corticosteroids and anti-epilepsy drugs – may increase acne problems.

• Avoid stressful situations. Anger and stress cause hormone levels to soar, which in turn causes oil production to increase and we already know that overproduction of oil causes acne.
