Tips for Acne Sufferers
by Sarah Rhodes
Some cosmetics irritate the skin and can cause acne by plugging
up your pores on your face. The cosmetics chemicals that can
cause you the most skin and pore irritation and inflammation
are: mineral oil, lanolin, parabens, propylene, and glycol Look
at the label of the cosmetics you use. You will find that many
cosmetics, soaps, and sunscreens contain these chemicals. Find
a water base make up, not an oil base. Find one that does not
irritate your face and use it sparingly.
Instead of using medicine that may have side effects, try
using natural methods to cure Acne. For example, a soap made
from Echinacea and other herbal ingredients is an effective
antibiotic facial cleanser that helps fight acne and restore
clear skin. Tea tree oil also has known antibiotic properties
and serves as a mild anesthetic that will soothe the irritated
skin. There are also other natural skin care products available
that have been proven being effective in improving acne.
Today, there's a huge variety of natural acne treatments
available. They claim to help you with improving Acne and
its blemishes but you have to be very careful in choosing
witch one you will use. However, they are mostly designed
to do two things: 1.) Help correct hormonal imbalances related
to acne breakouts. 2.) Reduce inflammation and swelling, and
pave the way for fast skin repair where breakouts have recently
occurred.
Hormones during later years, especially for women, can play
a role in acne cure and prevention for teen years. For adults
oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills may be
helpful for women, combined with systemic or current treatments,
prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Acne fulminans (Too Much Testosterone Acne) is an acute and
severe form of acne accompanied by symptoms like fever and
joint pain. This acne is common among males. Traits include:
abrupt onset of acne, inflammatory and ulcerated nodular acne
on the chest and back, severe acne scarring, fluctuating fever,
painful joints, loss of appetite or weight, and high white
blood cell count. This acne is caused by use of testosterone,
used legally or illegally to enhance muscle growth. Over the
counter treatments are not effective. If you don't need the
extra testosterone for your health, don't take it.
Homeopathic treatment is made from minerals, herbs and other
natural extracts that activate the body's natural defenses.
Because these ingredients are in minute concentrations, they
trigger the body to heal itself without side effects.
