Finding a Natural Remedy for Adult Acne is the Safest and Most Effective Solution.
Who ever expected their teenage acne to become adult acne? Most of us think of acne as something that happens when we are young and will pass with our teens.
In fact, according to statistics, acne affects 25% of adult men and 50% of adult women at some stage in their lives. In many cases it is only minor and passing but in many other cases it is persistent and can appear to be permanent. One in five women between the ages of 25 and 40 suffer from adult acne. From these figures, acne is a lot more than something which will pass with our teens, as many adult sufferers already know.
To quote one adult acne sufferer, "I have gone to dermatologists, taken typical antibiotics and endured the typical cortisone shots". Many people can relate to that - they have tried the creams, lotions and drugs but to no avail. In fact, many have resolved that they will have the problem for the rest of their lives.
Some of the conventional treatments do work for some people. Some work for a time, some work permanently. The trouble is it can take a lot of money, time, effort, discomfort and frustration to find relief, let alone a cure. It can take just as long to find nothing really works.
Drugs can work, but have you read the possible side effects? Worse still, you may have experienced some of them. Pretty frightening. Some side effects can cause permanent damage.
Take heart. There is a natural adult acne remedy which helps the body heal itself. It does need a change in lifestyle but the change has been made by thousands around the world and it has changed their lives.
I invite you to read this lens and seek out the information about the program. It has changed the lives of thousands of acne sufferers and it could change yours.
Acne Do Nots: The 7 Things You Should Never Do To Your skin When You Have Acne (And Even If You Do Not Have Acne)
By working with your skin and not against it you pave the way to an enhanced healing of the skin. Your skin will look and feel better; it will become more even toned and vibrant.
On the other hand, by constantly doing the following, you are weakening the natural protecting capabilities of your skin, you are slowing the healing process of your skin, and are making your skin look bad and making your acne worse:
1.Smoking
Besides lung cancer, heart disease and early aging of your skin (e.g. wrinkles), smoking causes the contraction of the small capillaries and blood vessels of the skin, thus depriving your skin from the essential oxygen I needs for the creation and maintenance of healthy cells.
2. Using Topical Steroids
Over the counter or prescription cortisone based creams, especially the potent types, can eventually thin your skin and worsen your acne condition in the long run in addition to the irritation, redness and other side effects steroid creams can cause. Moreover, topicals by definition address the symptoms of acne (inflammation, itching, puss), they do not treat the root cause of the disease. Nevertheless, taking care of your skin externally is highly recommended but should be performed gently using pure natural ingredients such as diluted tea tree oil.
3. Taking Antibiotics
Antibiotic treatments like tetracycline aggravate your acne in the long run and also severely damage your internal system in the process. Antibiotics destroy all the bacteria in your system including the good, probiotic bacteria like acidophilus that have many essential qualities that promote clear skin. One of these qualities is the ability to protect your digestive tract from parasites and fungus (that constantly stress and damage your liver, one of the most important organs responsible for the healing process of your skin).
4. Shaving with Four-In-One Razor blades
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.
5. Picking Your Skin (popping and squeezing included)
Never, never and ever touch, pick or squeeze your blemishes, regardless of how temping and "safe" it may seem. By doing this unprofessionally, you make your acne worse by aggravating your existing inflammation and pushing the puss deeper and wider into the skin. There are in fact very effective and safe ways of dealing with small whiteheads or blackheads but I would strongly recommend leaving that to the professionals if you care for your skin and wish to prevent further scarring.
6. Taking excessive amounts of Vitamin A
Vitamin A from natural sources (green leafy vegetables and beta carotene fruit and veggies) and in small quantities can significantly enhance the healing process of your skin but when taken excessively it can seriously damage your liver and cause severe health problems and side effects.
7.Use over the counters for your Rosacea
That one is a no-brainer. Taking over the counters that by definition make your skin red and irritating is definitely not something you want to do when surfeiting from rosacea. If you suffer from rosacea, always consult your dermatologist prior to applying over the counters on your already inflamed and highly sensitive skin.
