Natural Acne Treatment is the Best Way

Acne is known as a deterioration of skin condition due to hormone imbalance and the side effects of mental stress and anxiety. This physical state, results in an increased production of sebaceous material and the mal-functioning of duct system or the blockage of tubules, which prevent the release of oil in a natural way.

Natural Acne Treatment calls for adopting those curing remedies, which are purely dependent on herbal medicines. These medicines, when combined with warm water or compress, help open skin pores and transmit healing benefits on the affected skin parts.
All these medicines or herbal products (in commercial parlance) claim to contain natural ingredients e.g. botanical alpha-Spina-sterol, citruline, stigma-sterol, water, aloe vera and methyl paraben.

There are some home-based tips as well, which can work wonders in giving healing effects to the affected skin parts. Like, ground ginger with milk, honey vinegar, turmeric and vinegar paste, can best be used as reliable indigenous acne treatment. Red clover and the extracts of Garlic, fresh Mint and raw Papaya can also relieve swelling acne, because all these vegetables can generate estrogenic action and anti-inflammation process, in gradual phases.

However, one can express his/her wonder whether all this combination of natural ingredients works to their advantage or not. Answering this query requires a bit of a reasoning, that it is a logical acne skin therapy, which can induce cure in the manner of surprise and relief.

Let me nevertheless, throw a word of caution here, that the severity of acne condition and the response of the patient to the medication, tend to be taken into a big therapeutic focus and the motivation of self sustaining healing techniques.

AGE RELATED ACNE

Babies
Babies’ suffering from acne is very common, surprisingly, in some cases, immediately after birth, or often after a couple of weeks. The body parts mostly affected is Cheeks, Forehead, Chin, Chest and the back side as well.

As a cure, parents are advised not to overdo cleansing, be it medicated skin lotion or an organic skin supplement. A simple rinse over the face with mild skin care baby soap, once a day, will greatly suffice the need.

There is no clear answer, as to what causes babies acne, but experts have pointed to the hormones, transferred at post-natal stage, from mothers to the babies. Second, the medications pregnant mothers take while nursing; also tend to trigger baby acne.
Baby acne usually heals-up naturally within a few weeks, even before a mother has noticed it. If she has, it is recommended that she doesn't put skin care creams or similar skin care products. Only in an event, when a baby's acne is severe and likely to scar, doctors need to be consulted, who will suggest an over-the-counter acne skin care treatment like benzyl peroxide.

Teenagers
A teenage population of about 85% is highly prone to developing and suffering from acne, an unofficial statistics, published at different websites portals, have claimed by conducting different surveys. The most vulnerable age group is found to be between 14 – 17 years and in terms of gender, boys tend to have it quite easily and persevere with acne in more severe form.

Over secretion of oil glands due to hormones (androgens), which the body starts producing at the onset of puberty, is a primary reason cited for this biological tendency. This generally results in the hair follicles or pores getting stuck owing to extra oil production and mixed with dead skin and dirt particles. Thereby the trapped material easily reacts with invading bacteria and causes swelling, redness and pus formation.

It is recommended that teenagers wash their skin particularly the face area at least twice a day. Mild beauty skin care soap can be used for face washing rather than selecting highly concentrated alcohol cleansing agents.

They are also advised to thoroughly wash their hair as well, because rubbing of greasy hair with skin will worsen acne to an acute level. Needless to mention here that the advice of a competent dermatologist is an assumed remedy and this should always be taken-up as a foremost priority.

Adults
Adult acne is as real as it gets the same way as it can in the teenagers. As per studies, 25% of adult men and 50% women have to endure acne affects. Interestingly what causes acne at the later years is not exactly determined, but dietary habits and stress have been looked into, as the major contributing factors for both the genders falling in adult segment.

Experts are of the opinion that adult acne is more likely to leave permanent physical acne scars, because of skin ageing and loss of collagen, wherein the skin care becomes harder to recover through damaged tissues.

Through natural acne treatment, infections and deep scarring can be averted and some vitamin derivatives can do some heal-up, especially Vitamin A, along with oral contraceptives and proactive skin care with OTC (over-the-counter) safe limit variety range.


Laser Acne Treatment - The advanced Option

ARE YOU THINKING TO GET LASER ACNE TREATMENT

The success in treating acne skin has brought forth numerous cases by virtue of great improvements through innovations and new technologies. Laser acne treatment being one of them, has emerged as an option for those who wanted to lessen the required amount or shorten the period of medications.

It has been proven through some evidences, that laser treatment improves not only the inflamed acne, but also leads to reduce acne scars. The procedure revolves around two basic groups of acne treating lasers and light based systems. First group inhibits the growth of bacteria responsible for acne lesions. Second group shrinks the sebaceous oil glands which causes acne inflammation.

Each patient undergoing laser acne treatment will be subject to the discretion of Cosmetic Surgeon, as he acts as a deciding factor of what intensity of laser beams are appropriate for the patients.

Similarly the optimization of acne clearing benefits is pre-determined through various laser or light based systems. This implies the fact that a particular acne condition is carefully interpreted prior to the treatment.

How successful has been the treatment with regard to acne removal can only be observed within 5 to 7 months of regular treatment sessions. In case acne flares-up, periodic treatment sessions will be required with short frequency cycle.
Laser Acne Treatment is carried out with two procedures:

1. Rubber Band Sensation called STING
2. Patients who cannot bear STING, are given a numbing topical anesthetic cream

To achieve even better results, the laser treatment needs to be combined with MICRO DERMABRASION by a qualified aesthetician. To promote quicker clearance of newly formed pimples, some skin clinics also prescribe some products as post-laser medications bearing no side effects.

Most people, who have experienced Laser Acne Treatment, have summarized the whole procedure as to:

• Firstly, they burn close the follicle sac, this is where the hair grow
• Secondly they burn close the sebaceous gland, this produces oil
• Then they induce the formation of oxygen for killing the bacteria


Conceptualization
Actually it's both the radio frequency and light, the combo of these two gives best results, according to a focus group comprising of different people. The skin gets tighten because of the heat in radio frequency, with that light in KW used in special way starts killing the bacteria and the light converted into LASER heals the skin pores to give enhanced cosmetic elevation.

There have been successful instances where people who under went laser treatment because of scaring and active acne, were bewildered with mark improvement of scars elimination and reduction in sebum, the oily substance which present in the pores and responsible of producing blackheads and acne pimples.

In comparison, the laser treatment has also proved to be more effective in the reduction of existing acne versus any prescription or over the counter medications.
There had been a concern about loss of pigmentation in the skin, from some patients belonging to diversified ethnic origins. To counter this psychological barrier, laser technology has added to its systems the great in demand feature of pigment restoration which are treated with laser. It is a stimulating process which recreates the natural pigmentations that were eroded during the process.

Loss of Pigmentation
In medical terminology, loss of pigmentation is called VITILIGO. This is unseen on the skin but is pretty problematic. The laser manages to go deeper into the skin and encompasses the entire affected arena, which is called infiltration. The infiltration of the laser to these areas wakes up or re-activates the dormant cells and gears them back into action. Thus, the scarred area becomes more vibrant and smooth taking on the texture of the skin in the adjoining area.

In contrast to what dermatologists used to define till a few years back, that the best method to treat acne was through ultraviolet light, has now been discarded owing to its having dangerous side effects leading to causing cancer. This finding has enabled laser technology to take over and prove to be much more effective option.

Laser Acne Treatment has extended hope to many patients of severe and chronic acne not to lose hearts. Their disappointment is, however, not without reason, because the level of deceit and false comforts through glossy products, have only added to their agony and psyche.
How effective are laser skin treatments for acne? Opinions tend to vary. The wisest approach would be to speak to your dermatologist, as well as confiding to someone who might have gone through laser acne treatment. A common concern that many people who are considering laser skin treatment have is how painful or severe the procedure might be. Reportedly that in the majority of cases there is only a tinge of pain or discomfort, if any at all and usually lasts for a few days. What to expect, again your dermatologist or other skin care professional will be able to tell.

Also from among the many face washes and soaps available, those with aloe Vera or Neem extracts are more efficient. Other than these medicated soaps for acne may be used if they don’t dry the skin out too much, because excess drying of skin also causes the sebaceous gland to produce extra sebum (oil), adversely affecting the treatment.
Astringents are also available that claim to dry out pimples overnight but one should be careful not to use alcohol based astringent as they are bad for skin in the long run. Those containing salicylic acid are somewhat better.

A toner also made from Neem leaves can prove to be effective. You’ll need boiled Neem leaves, camphor and rose water for it. Apply this to the acne several times a day and it will eventually dry them out. Therefore Neem is quite good in case of pimples as it is a disinfectant.

Aloe Vera juice and lemon juice with apple cider vinegar is also well known but they can be irritating to sensitive skins. So better consult the dermatologist first.

Acne Treatment During Pregnancy Makes You Beautiful

Pregnancy is the time of a women’s life when everything she does has to be safe for her and the baby in every way. And it is not uncommon that women who have had clear skin all their life, start getting acne during the first few months. This is due to hormonal changes in the early stage and with the passage of a few months when the level of estrogen rises; you’re back to normal and sometimes even better! For those who do not want to put up with a pimply face for those first months care is very essential for acne treatment during pregnancy.

When a woman is pregnant, her body produces certain hormones to help the growth of the fetus and ensure its health. Using antibiotics and causing the glands to cease or slow down their secretions will be interfering with the growth. Apart from this there are certain hormones and medications which may cause deformities and abnormalities in the developing fetus. In order to prevent any deformities in the fetus and rid yourself of acne you need to follow a very careful treatment which should be approved and observed regularly by your doctor.

Acne medications such as isotrentinoin have also many side effects. Although a very effective treatment for acne otherwise, it can prove to be quite dangerous for the fetus as well as the child being breast fed by the women under its treatment. Women under treatment should try and prevent pregnancy, and make sure the effects of treatment do not prevail if they plan to get pregnant later.

Anti-androgens, Flutamide and spironolactone, for example used in hormonal therapy for acne treatment should be strictly avoided during pregnancy as the cause defective growth. Estrogen is also often used and it should be avoided lest excess of the hormone causes any difficulties.


Other medications to be avoided are oral tetracyclines and its derivatives. These chemicals cause discoloration of bones and teeth permanently. It also effects the child being breast fed therefore should be forbidden completely.

Oral medications have more risk than topical medications. However with the recommendation of the doctor oral erythromycin may be used if the acne is very severe. Topical retinoids must also be avoided however benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid are considered safe for skin application.

However the best way to treat acne is the natural way. This includes trying to keep your skin free from germs, bacteria and toxins and cleansing regularly. Excess cleansing will result in drying of the pores which will then enhance oil production from the sebaceous glands resulting negatively.

Exercising regularly is recommended as it circulates blood to all parts of the body and eating fresh fruits, vegetables including those that are good blood cleaners will also help tremendously. Drinking plenty of water also keeps the skin clear.

Herbal remedies can also be used after consultation of the doctor as all herbs are not necessarily safe for all conditions. Natural products such as lemon juice application, Egg white mask, aleovera, baking soda scrub etc are useful especially in such case.

Being pregnant does not mean you should put up with looking ugly. With the help of guidance from doctors and through careful use of natural and un-harmful skin applications through acne treatment during pregnancy guidelines you can safely be free from pimples and acne.


Organic Acne Treatment-Nature’s Help

Acne is a common problem faced by the youth, women and men alike due to the increasing pollution in the environment and the unhealthy food that has become so trendy nowadays. These skin problems affect our self confidence and mar the beauty of an otherwise pretty face. Those who have ever suffered acne are well aware of the dilemma one has to face, being showered with all kinds of different ideas; to take this and stop that and what to use and what has side effects, one skin specialist recommending something which the other has strictly forbidden.

Believe me it’s a tough time making a choice of which treatment to avoid and which to use. What most people don’t know is that the best way to permanently free yourself from these beauty hampering marks is the simplest and easiestin form of organic acne treatment. But to start to cure yourself of any problem you must first properly understand its causes.

It seems that there are millions of medical treatments available in the market promising permanent removal of acne and short term treatments. But these have their drawbacks. It may take a lot of time to figure out which treatment suits you best and by that time your acne might have become much worse. As we know that acne is produced when the androgen hormones cause the access production of sebum from the sebaceous glands.
Most inorganic acne treatments involve the use of antibiotics or antifungal preparations to slow down the production of these hormones. Thus they try to suppress the symptom without eliminating the source of the problem. This may result in deeper problems which at the end might get out of control. Therefore it is better not to take risk and avoid such treatments no matter how promising they might seem

Our skin is the layer that protects our inner organs from the harmful contents of the atmosphere of our environment. It’s constantly in contact with bacteria, harmful toxics, the effects of whether, heat, cold, dryness, humidity, chemicals in soaps and other things we might apply on our skin and of course dirt. Apart from protecting, skin has pores which serve as the outlets of toxic wastes produced inside of us due to unhealthy eating habits and unwholesome diet. The clogging of these pores by dirt and all the other harmful chemicals stated above consequently result in acne i.e. pimples, blackheads etc.

Countless researches and experiences of people all over the world have proved the benefit of organic substances for the treatment of acne. They target at solving the root cause of the problem and being natural, do not harm you in any other way. Plus they are suitable during pregnancy while medical treatments might cause harm to the fetus.
Treating acne with the help of organic or natural products means you have a world of limitless options to choose from. Here we have a few of the easiest homemade remedies that almost anyone can benefit from.

-Number one on our list is lemon juice. Lemon juice for acne treatment is very effective. Its application over the acne afflicted areas detoxifies the pores and dries them out absorbing the oil. It also caters to the deficiencies of vitamin C which might give unhealthy skin consistency.

-Baking Soda, easily available in any house hold can be used as an effective scrub. It exfoliates dead skin which is clogged with dirt and oil and is preventing the oxygen to reach the pores.

-A mask of Egg White balances the pH level of skin by absorbing access oil from the skin and prevents further spreading of acne.

-Apple Cider Vinegar applied like the lemon juice over pores cleanses them and kills harmful bacteria causing skin problems and also affects the pH level.

-Cabbage juice application in the form of a lotion has also been proved highly beneficial and the eating of cabbage keeps blood clean and free from harmful toxicants.

The food we eat is devoid of the nutrition’s present in fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. These nutrition help cleanse the blood and supplement the need of vitamins needed during the age of puberty, when acne is commonly on its peak. Therefore healthy food and balanced diet as always are the best way to prevent and cure all health issues.

Apart from these homemade natural products there are lotions, tonics and creams available in the market labeled ‘0natural treatment’. Their effectiveness has not been tested clinically. But one should know how they work and why they are called natural. These products consist of sulfur mixed with chemicals such as alcohol, salicylic acid and resorcinol and other natural extracts. Resorcinol helps with small acne lesions while salicylic acid unclogs pores, it is temporary however and acne returns after its use is discontinued.

So my advice is to take your skin seriously and protect it from further damage by treating it with unreliable chemical treatments and hazardous medical procedures. The best way to treat acne is to identify its cause and remove it by learning, how to treat acne. Similarly the best way acne should be treated is to keep the skin healthy and clean, by controlling diet, regular cleansing and keeping pores free from dirt, oil and other toxins.
