Acne Skincare Health Info


To begin with I would like to explain the one problem that people like you and me get wrong whilst trying to cure our bad skin. Our decisions and choices regarding acne treatments are blind ones because most of us haven’t got to the bottom of what actually gives us bad skin.

The one theory that dermatologists believe is that acne and other forms of bad skin are created from a chemical in-balance with our hormonal system. This is why in most cases acne is apparent in teenagers due to hormonal changes in there body. Though it is also known that diet, stress, vitamin deficiency and evolutionary biology can also be a cause.

Therefore instead of following treatments we need to analyse ourselves and our diets, fitness, metabolism and a whole lot more before we can go ahead and make a well informed purchase. This will then allow you to buy the right products for YOU, because from past experience the next person’s miracle cure does not necessarily mean it’s yours.

If you suffer from a serious case consult a dermatologist otherwise if it is mild here are some prevention tips.

Diet

You need plenty of fluid at least 8 glasses of water a day this helps flush out bad toxins. Always try to avoid sugary foods and fatty food; examples are fizzy pop and saturated fat products such as crisps and refined sugary foods as chocolate bars. There is a definite need to eat five servings of fruit and vegetables to boost your immune system and to give your body nutrients.

Cosmetics

Always choose make-up that is water based and hypo-allergenic. Avoid heavy creams and make sure it’s oil-free. Ritually wash this off thoroughly every night.

Exercise

Regular exercise is a great way of building your immune system and keeps the body in shape. This eliminates toxins and allows the body to prevent even acne from starting.

Hormones

These play a vital role sometimes and I suggest going to see your doctor because he may suggest hormone replacements HRT etc.

Clean skin

Once or twice a week use an exfoliator this will unblock your pores off grease and dirt. Also make sure you thoroughly clean your face nightly but gently don’t scrub as this can dis-lodge your pores creating blemishes.

Stress

This can be a large contributing factor to bad skin so you need to get into a regime that allows you to relax and unwind.

This is just a few tips you can follow to begin your fight to rid of that bad skin.
