Getting Rid of Acne Without
Using Any Creams or Medication
Acne can
be an extremely annoying condition, especially
since its main target is young adults and teens, which are
prone to suffer more from the effects of acne, due to their
social status.
If you ever
had to deal with acne yourself (and Im assuming
you did, since youre reading this) you know how difficult
it is to get rid of it and you probably tried dozens of
different anti-acne creams and lotions, gulped down dozens
of natural and prescribed pills and still, the effects are
not entirely visible.
The problem
is that most of the information teaching you how
to get rid of acne will emphasize on these creams and
medications, but wont spend too much time talking about the
basic things you can do by yourself to help reduce your
problem.
Its
these factors that Im going to talk about in the
following article.
1. Keeping
You Skin Clean
Although
the sebaceous gland is the one responsible for
producing the pus in pimples, its the bacteria inside the
skin that trigger acne and help it spread around.
Keeping your
skin clean constantly is wont cure the acne
entirely, but it will cut down the odds of it spreading on
the rest of your skin and it will also reduce the
conditions chance of becoming severe.
Even if youre
using some sort of anti-acne cream, keeping
your skin clean shouldnt be something to forget about.
2. Eating
Right
There are
a couple of products out there that can help you
reduce the amount of sebum produced by your sebaceous
glands, but if you dont want to fill up on medicine, having
a proper diet is crucial.
Focus on
foods that have a lot of Vitamin A (spinach,
carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, etc) and Vitamin B
(cereals, most vegetables, sweet corn, rice, berries, etc),
since these help regulate your hormones and sebum
production.
3. Avoiding
Hormonal Earthquakes
Over production
of hormones will encourage acne growth and
youll want to bring hormonal production to decent levels if
you want to stop the condition from causing more problems.
If youre under constant stress either due to work, school
or social issues, you may want to try some relaxation
techniques such as Yoga to help you out.
Exercising
is also beneficial, so whenever you get the
chance to get a couple of laps done, try to channel your
energy that way.
Lastly, avoid
foods and drinks that cause hormonal increase,
such as caffeine, dairy products, cooked carbohydrates and
acid forming meat. These foods will also produce extra
toxins in your body, which will eventually want to get out
through your skin. When they hit a hair follicle blocking
their path, toxins build up and together with the sebum
produced by your body, they will create acne comedones.
Provided
that you can respect these three basic rules,
getting rid of acne is definitely an achievable goal.
However,
you need to follow them on a constant long term
basis, not just for a couple of days, or youll be right
back from where you left in no time.
