The first signs of acne for me started with blackheads at the age of
about 12, as a male of this age it started to bother me but that was
just the start. Another year on I had began to flare up with massive
red spots with heads on, acne knocked my confidence so much that some
days I didn't want to go out. At school I tried covering up with make-up which for me was quite embarrassing at times. Years went on and I tried many products such as: Panoxyl, Oxytetracycline, and every over the counter product you can buy with little or no results However I did find that erythromycin antibiotic cream did help from the doctor and had good results for one or two of my friends but the Oxytetracycline tablets had no effect at all. I had also heard that stronger tablets like Accutine from the doctor worked quite well but these required you to have regular tests by your doctor. I found that washes, Clearasil and other products made no difference. I also think that worrying about spots makes them even worse. I got so frustrated that I began surfing the net and I was obviously hit by many pages claiming 'this and that' about cures of acne but the one that unbelievably helped the greatest for me was a site that claimed Acne Free In 3 Days At first I was quite amused by its title Acne Free In 3 Days, it didn't actually give results that fast but I was quite impressed by it and with a money back offer I thought why not. Out of all the treatments ironically it ended up giving me the best results the fastest. It uses diet as a way to combat the problem from the inside, fighting your acne from the best possible way to correct your bodies imbalance. I would recommend this program to anyone. I now have not a single spot and rarely get them at all. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it helps other organs with eliminating waste. One of the best acne treatments is a diet which will help the body eliminate waste so that it won't interfere with your skin and cause acne. If you are unhealthy on the inside it will be reflected in your skin. It is the livers job to remove hormones from the body. If your liver can't remove hormones fast enough you will end up with too much oil in your skin because hormones are like an instruction manual telling your skin to produce more oil. The function of the liver is also to get rid of toxins. If there is an over-load of toxins in your body, the liver can have problems removing hormones. So what toxins concern acne sufferers the most? Mycotoxins. These nasty little chemicals are the 'excreted' waste of bacteria such as yeast, and usually found in the intestines. Mycotoxins put a strain on your liver and you already know what happens when your liver doesn't get rid of hormones! Using diet as a natural acne treatment was not as bad as I had thought it would be. There are many foods that help the liver and help remove waste from the body. What foods are good for cleaning the body? Two of the best foods are apples and psyllium husks. They both contain fibers that act like a broom and absorb and push out all the junk that's stuck in your intestines, sometimes stuff that has even been there for many years! The 'junk' is also the perfect breeding ground for the bacteria that produce mycotoxins. And what foods are good for helping the liver? Beetroot. Beetroot is known for it's exceptional liver cleansing properties. Another good food, or herb actually, is milk thistle. Scientific studies have suggested that certain chemicals in milk thistle protect the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins and alcohol. To cure your acne, you need to correct the problems inside your body that are causing your acne. No over-the-counter creams can do this. They can only kill bacteria on your face and help reduce the redness. Thats why i found the Acne Free In 3 Days so effective i think Help Vanish A Spot Obviously while I did have acne my main concern was to get rid of or reduce a spot so it was not as obvious, here are a few methods I can share with you. It's everyone's worst nightmare. Waking up the day before a special event to discover a big, red pimple baring itself for all to see right on your face! Here's how to get rid of it quickly and safely: 1. Don't ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other parts of your face! It can also lead to scars. 2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with it. 3. They don't call it concealer for nothing! Covering the pimple with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer can help mask it when you're in a hurry. It also helps cover up that oily shine. 4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don't rub too hard, otherwise you'll sap your skin of its own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally. 5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have sensitive skin. 6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types have less of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that results in blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and cleanse with an acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt, oil and makeup from deep within the skin. 7. If you're in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five minutes can also reduce swelling and redness. If you follow these tips, chances are you'll notice a difference rather quickly or its good just for a little reduction. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
