Acne is a very common problem among young people of all ages. It occurs in all age groups but seems to be more prevalent among adolescents. I personally believe that the major cause of acne among adolescents is the fact that the body is at the peak of hormone production at this time and is producing more sebum that it can utilize. The sebum along with other substances clog the pores and produce acne.
The blocked pores becomes infected which results in blackheads, or whiteheads. If the infection is not very carefully treated it can spread and cause damage to the skin cells around the area which may result in a scar or blemish. This is disconcerting to the acne sufferer because it causes a slight disfiguration which is visible by others. So acne has to be treated and handled carefully and aggressively.
The adolescent is at a time in their life when they need to feel accepted by others, thus this condition can be traumatizing. There are many ways to treat acne but I believe that the best way is to use all natural ingredients. You need to establish a treatment regimen before acne hits and stick to it faithfully. Acne has to be attacked on several fronts at the same time in order to be brought under control. Treatment won’t work the same way for each person but if you use the techniques which I will give you today you will have some degree of success.
The first method is a preventative measure. You can modify your diet in order to help you in the battle to conquer acne symptoms. The first thing that you need to do is to eliminate as much fat as you possibly can. Some fats are good for you but even with these you need to monitor your intake. Eliminate greasy, fatty foods from your diet. Avoid fried foods as much as possible also. Now I am not saying that you have to try to be like Superman but you will need to modify your diet significantly if you are not eating good healthy wholesome foods.This includes red meats which contain more fat than lean white meat. Replace meats with fruits and vegetables as much as possible. Eat the plant foods as close to their natural state as possible. In other words eat them either raw or lightly cooked. Don’t drown them in fatty dressing or dips. You also need to avoid sugars and sugary carbonated drinks as much as possible. T
he next step in acne prevention is the cleaning and preparation of the skin. Wash your face thoroughly with an astringent solution at least twice a day if you have a serious acne problem. Once you get the acne under control you can deep cleanse once a day and eventually once or twice a week.
I give natural tea tree oil my highest recommendation for this. Tea tree oil will effectively cleanse the pores and remove the bacteria which cause acne. It will continue to kill the bacteria as long as it sits on the skin. It has so many different germ killing compounds in it that the germs can’t build up a resistance. In other words you can use it for the rest of your life and it will remain effective. After you have deep cleansed the skin using an exfoiliator you need to use Tea Tree oil which is an astringent. Use a cotton ball or some similar material and scrub with the Tea Tree oil. You can apply a small amount of natural oil to it your skin after you have allowed the Tea Tree oil to work for about half an hour. This will nourish the skin with the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that it needs to heal and be restored. Vitamin E oil is easy to use and quite effective along with aloe vera oil or almond oil. Now you may wonder why you are applying oil to the skin when acne is caused by oily skin and I will tell you the answer. These oils are light and will not clog the pores.
Tea Tree Oil
is not like oily at all and will be absorbed into the skin almost immediately. Your skin also needs a small amount of oil on it in order to protect it from germs and other harmful compounds. Now if the acne has left scars on your face or any other marks use black seed oil. aloe vera oil, or vitamin E oil. When you use these products over a period of time they should provide you with amazing results.
