by C Hunnter, C H

Acne is a term that covers pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and other skin blemishes. Though acne is known to be a common problem among young people, this skin condition can affect at any age. Though there are a lot of preventive measures in order to avoid acne breakouts, here is a serious skin care routine to heal existing acne:

• One of the most important serious skin care is to avoid popping zits or pimples. This may just make the condition worse because of irritation and inflammation. Popping the spots can spread the infection, resulting to more pimple appearance. If you happen to pop a zit, make sure to clean the area immediately with soap and water or alcohol to prevent infection. In addition, you can apply a mixture of ground cinnamon and honey on the popped spot and put a bandage.

• Make sure to remove your makeup especially before sleeping. Make ups tend to clog the skin pores that can make it more prone to pimple-causing bacteria.

• In washing your face, always use mild soap especially if you have sensitive skin. Stay away from products that contain chemicals such as harsh antibacterial soaps and facial cleansers that can actually make the acne condition worsen as it irritates the skin.

• Exfoliate regularly to eliminate dead skin cells by using gentle scrubs. Natural defoliants are highly recommended such as ground walnut shells or oatmeal. You can also use over-the-counter products including glycolic acid or salicylic acid. In addition, using thick moisturizer such as cocoa butter with ground walnut shell is an effective way to exfoliate. However, avoid too much exfoliating because it may increase skin irritation. Furthermore, pat your face with a clean, soft cloth when drying and never rub your face especially after exfoliating.

• It is essential to choose a good toner. Wipe it using cotton or spray onto your face. Toner tightens pores and helps get rid of excess cleanser. You can use inexpensive but good toners such as plain witch hazel that is best for normal to dry skin, three percent hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice for those who have oily skin and for people who have problems with severe oiliness, seventy percent ethyl alcohol is recommended but it may dry out and irritate the skin. Remember that bacteria causes pimples and in order to eliminate the amount of bacteria, use toners that contain anti-bacterial agents such as peroxide, benzalkonium chloride and alcohol.

• Maintain a serious skin care routine in order to eliminate acne. Remember that most acne products in the market take time, usually between a couple of weeks and eight weeks before you see skin improvement. Be patient and make to continue with your acne treatment in order to avoid acne in the future.

• If you don't see any improvement in using acne treatments, it is best to visit a doctor or a dermatologist. Mild antibiotics prescribed by doctors are known to be effective in fighting acne.

• There are also simple and effective ways to get rid of acne such as keeping your hair away from your face.

• It is important to get plenty of sleep because stress is known to increase the oiliness of the skin especially if combined with dirt and sweat, which can clog skin's pores and cause acne.

Acne is a serious problem that affects millions of people worldwide. There are many acne treatments that have been developed over the years. Many of them treat the problem of acne only at the level of the skin. Their focus is to clean the skin and keep it oil free and then apply a lotion that is supposed to keep the acne from coming back. However, many natural acne treatment programs focus on lifestyle and the effect one’s diet, immediate surroundings as well as stress levels can have on their acne condition.

The belief is that the real cause of acne goes far deeper than just the level of the skin. Many researchers think that the root cause of pimples is really a matter of looking at the kind of lifestyle you are living and that the levels of toxins in your body is a major contributing factor to your acne condition.

External as well as internal cleansing programs are important when it comes to getting rid of acne permanently. There are many ways to clean the skin externally and most people are familiar with these approaches. Using a mildly abrasive cleanser is ideal as it helps to remove the dead skin cells at the surface of the skin. Also it is important to nourish the skin and using natural skin moisturizers such as almond oil is great to keep the skin looking soft and healthy.

Internal cleansing is also very important in any natural acne treatment program. There are many cleansing programs that you can use, just take a look at your local health food store and ask for a ‘full body cleanse’ package. Going on a juice fast can be a great way to detoxify and clean your internal system naturally. Yes, it does require some discipline to not consume your regular fast food and packaged lunches but you need to focus on how beautiful your skin will look when you finally become acne free. So, going through a bit of pain will be worth it.

Many natural acne treatment programs also address the effect that stress can have on your acne. Many researchers believe that stress contributes greatly to your acne condition and that by simply reducing the levels of stress in your life can make a dramatic difference in your acne. How is stress related to acne? The answer is not fully known however there are many examples of where people that had severe acne took part in stress reduction programs and found their acne condition improving dramatically.

There are many ways to reduce stress from your life. One of the best ways is to learn how to perform meditation. The primary goal of most meditation practices is to help reduce excessive thinking. This has the effect of eliminating significant stress from one’s life as most mental stress is caused by simply thinking too much. Meditation will help you to quiet your mind and when you learn to have a quiet mind, you will attain great inner peace and inevitably you will experience less stress in your life.

Natural acne treatment solutions are indeed very effective, perhaps the most effective way to eliminate those pesky zits permanently. They do require a bit of commitment on your part to stick with the program and learn a few new skills but getting rid of acne is worth it. So look for natural acne treatment programs as there are many out there, you can even find them online as e-book programs.
