Comedones are follicles that are formed on the skin because of all the dirt, grime and dead cells. They are of types, namely, blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads are caused due to the dirt and grime that is in your skin. They are formed along with the dead skin cells. This type of comedone is open and it is because of the dirt and grime that it is black in colour. Whiteheads are closed in nature and this is formed due to the same dirt, grime and dead cells. The only difference is that the dirt and grime are inside the skin follicles and this may cause infection around the follicles. This is a type of acne and there are plenty of natural treatments available to keep acne under control.

The presence of oil in the skin pore aids in the spreading of acne. This is because of the clogging of these pores by the oil which mixes with the dirt and grime. The main cause of acne is the presence of excess toxins and chemicals in the body. The body tries to get rid of these toxins and chemicals in the form of acne because of which you may get infection. The manifestation of comedonal acne is different from regular acne as we have already seen. This type of acne is in the form of blackheads and whiteheads about which we already know. The causes of this type of acne are the same causes of regular acne. The chemicals and the toxins are produced due to the unhealthy food that you eat. Some of the unhealthy foods are red meat, processed foods, alcoholic drinks, soft drinks etc. Sugar and salt are also unhealthy for acne.

One of the ways to cure acne is to switch to a healthy and nutritious diet. This diet should contain lots of fruits and vegetables, pulses and foods that contain antioxidants. These antioxidants help in getting rid of the toxins in your body. A lot of water in your body will also help clear acne in your body. So you should drink atleast eight glasses of water or juice so that these toxins and chemicals are flushed out from the body.

These excess chemicals and toxins can also be flushed out by exercise. This is because exercising leads to sweat on your body. The body can now get rid of the chemicals and toxins along with teh sweat from the body. The overall improved efficiency of the body in pumping blood to all parts of the body will help in getting rid of the excess toxins from your body.

Vitamin supplements are also known to cure acne. Vitamin A, C, E, B6 help in getting rid of acne and also keeping your skin soft and healthy. Fish and cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids that is believed to get rid of the toxins and chemicals from the body.
