How to Beat Acne with Natural Remedies! Statistics show that around 85% of people will experience some form of acne in their lives. It could just be the occasional pimple on your nose that makes a grand but unwelcome appearance, or it could be the severe breakouts that some unfortunate people are prone to.

The only mild consolation here is that you're not alone in this and acne is not something to be ashamed of. If the acne gets really bad, there can even be scarring on the face. The key to avoiding this is to take immediate remedial steps to arrest the problem before it gets out of hand.

In this short report, you'll discover what acne really is and how you can go about mitigating the problem naturally. While creams and medication will help to treat the acne, in many cases, these methods only address the symptoms.

By addressing the root of the problem through holistic measures, you'll be able to target the actual cause of the acne and eliminate it. You may be amazed to discover that just a few dietary changes could eliminate the problem totally. You'll learn that and more further down.

For now, just know that there is quite a bit that you can do to help yourself.

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! You're not a helpless spectator in this situation. Once you get proactive and take steps to overcome your acne, you will see positive results.

WHAT CAUSES ACNE? There are several factors that can lead to acne outbreaks, but it's important to know how the process works. Pimples and acne are just the symptoms and the end result of a chain of processes within the body. Only by breaking this chain can you hope to prevent the appearance of the pimples on your face or body.

Within the follicles of your skin, there are sebaceous glands that produce sebum. This is an oily substance that helps to keep your skin soft and supple, instead of drying out. The problem arises when the sebaceous glands go into overdrive and produce too much sebum.

When that happens, your follicles will get clogged and not be able to breathe. Bacteria will set in and the blocked follicles will get infected. Your skin gets inflamed and pus is produced. That's how spots, pimples, nodules and cysts are formed.

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know!

When you pop a pimple and the pus comes out, there is a sense of relief because the follicle is now clear and can breathe. However, popping pimples is not advisable because it not only causes scarring, but you may infect surrounding pores too.

By now you should realize that the key to solving the problem is to prevent the sebaceous glands from producing too much sebum. If you can do that, a good facial cleansing routine will more than suffice to keep acne at bay.

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! There are a few common causes of acne such as:

• • • • • • • • •

Certain foods - dairy, sugar, spicy foods, etc. Dirty pillowcases Harsh detergent Hats - breeding grounds for bacteria if worn for long periods Hormonal fluctuations Oil-based makeup Smoking Stress Strong shampoos

Besides your face, acne can also show up on your back, chest, neck, arms, etc. Nobody can pinpoint yet, why pimples show up in these places and not others. But, the fact remains that infected follicles are what causes acne.

WATCH YOUR DIET You absolutely must restore balance in the body with a nutritious diet consisting of green leafy vegetables and fruits that are high in vitamin A and vitamin E. Stay away from high sugary foods and junk foods as they can aggravate this problem.

Along with the diet, the following treatment options need to be followed to

Page 7

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! clear acne.

Hydrate yourself and do it often. Most people are walking around dehydrated without even realizing it. By the time you feel thirsty, it's too late. You want to be regularly taking sips of water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Increasing water intake will certainly help you have healthy, younger looking skin. It will flush out toxins and inflammatory substances within the body that may directly or indirectly stimulate the glands to go into into overdrive and start producing too much sebum.

Page 8

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know!

Skin problems like acne and rosacea can be effectively reduced by drinking adequate water (7-8 glasses per day).

The skin care products you use may also be silent culprits. Most people don't have the foggiest idea what goes into the production of their skin care products. The active ingredients all sound like Greek and it's just too much effort to figure out. It's much easier to blindly use the products without giving them much thought.

Page 9

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! If you constantly have acne breakouts, you do not have the luxury of burying your head in the sand over this issue. You absolutely must take a closer look at the products that you apply to your face.

Exercise due diligence when choosing your cosmetics products. When applying makeup, make sure you stay away from comedogenic products as they clog the pores and cause pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.

Instead, choose non-comedogenic skin care products because they do not block the pores in the skin. Basically, these are herbal based products that do not irritate the skin.

Page 10

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know!

For a natural, healthy looking skin, use of non-comedogenic makeup is the best option. In fact, acne sufferers should always use moisturizers, shampoo, cleansers and sunscreen that are non-comedogenic in nature.

If you notice that any cream or moisturizer that you are using causes a breakout a few days later, discontinue all use permanently.

Generally, it is best to stick to milder moisturizers and skin care products that contain 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. These are very effective to treat acne

Page 11

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! that occurs around the mouth.

There are special antibacterial soaps designed to alleviate acne around the mouth too. Washing the face with these soaps, will also assist in eradicating the bacteria causing acne.

Another culprit that nobody even thinks about is the toothpaste they use. Fluoridated toothpaste just might be causing the recurring episodes of acne near the lips and mouth. The daily use of toothpaste exacerbates the situation immensely.

The chemical, fluoride found in various toothpaste is helpful to maintain oral hygiene but it is definitely not good for the skin. Fluoride is known to irritate the skin and moreover can cause small bumps around the lips when the skin is exposed to this chemical while brushing.

So, those with acne around the mouth should avoid brushing with fluoridated toothpaste. A better alternative would be to go for a herbal toothpaste that cleans the teeth without damaging the skin.

Daily use of oil based products such as lip balm can also block the pores and trigger acne. Petroleum jelly such as Vaseline is reapplied often throughout the day to keep the lips moisturized.

Page 12

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! However, an active ingredient found in these skin care products is mineral oil, which promotes pore blocking and eventually triggers formation of acne like pimples around mouth. So, staying away from such lip care products can also contribute to reduce and clear acne.

An effective way of treating acne around the mouth would be to use baking soda. Applying baking soda paste can also work wonders to eliminate acne around mouth and nose.

Baking soda is very effective at making the skin softer and is very effective at reducing the size of big ugly pimples. Make a paste by adding 2 tablespoons of baking soda into 2 cups of warm water. Apply it for a period of 10 minutes and then wash it off with tap water.

Baking soda may cause a slight burning sensation, but definitely helps to ameliorate the condition.

In the event that your mouth acne is the result of a yeast infection, taking antifungal treatment in the form of tablets may help to resolve the issue. Keep in mind that when applying skin care products to treat this skin problem, ensure that they do not go inside the mouth. These acne products are for external use only and ingesting them is certainly not recommended.

How do I tre

One of the most common teenage woes is the problem of acne, also known as pimples, zits, blemishes, etc. There are many adults who deal with this frustratingly annoying and embarrassing issue.

Forehead acne is extremely common. Most acne breakouts tend to affect the forehead too. Depending on the severity of the condition, it may be a little uncomfortable and your social life may be affected since you may feel "ugly" and insecure.

The cause for forehead acne is the same as acne on any other part of the body. There is a theory that the forehead is more susceptible because the body produces sebum to keep the hair and skin lubricated and the follicles on the forehead are more prone to getting plugged and infected,

There are a few treatment options that you can employ to manage forehead acne.

One holistic method that is very effective for treating acne is the use of aloe vera. You may use skin care products which use aloe vera as the active ingredient. You can also apply the plant's gel directly on the affected areas of the forehead. This is even better since it's 100 percent natural.

Page 14

Another holistic remedy would be to make a face pack by mixing honey and cinnamon powder. Use this pack before going to bed and leave it overnight. Wash it off the next morning with your regular face cleanser and lukewarm water.

Have you heard of garlic being used to treat acne? It's effective too.

Page 15

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know!

Garlic is nature's own antibacterial medication and that is why it is a popular treatment method for acne. Cut a fresh slice of it and simply rub the juicy part on and around the zits. This remedy also works for acne scar removal.

Hungry for more natural remedies? Just mix of fresh lime juice and milk (boiled). Use this daily as a facial wash to get rid of your acne.

Page 16

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Many people have also benefited by using the mix of baking soda and water as a facial mask. Use of this natural acne remedy helps in improving the appearance of the acne-affected area of the forehead.

To treat acne internally, make it a point to drink the juice of wheat grass daily.

You may also dilute tea tree oil with water, and apply it directly to the pimple, using a cotton swab. It's another effective method.

One popular herbal treatment option is peppermint. Simply crush the leaves to form a paste. Apply it on the pimples let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Wash it away with cold water after that. Peppermint is very popular in treating acne because of its menthol content. This substance is a potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent.

Oatmeal is another safe and effective treatment method to reduce acne. Simply cook the oatmeal and add honey to it (about Â¼ cup). After it cools, apply it to the forehead. Ensure that you avoid the eyes and not leave it to dry for more than 20 minutes. Use lukewarm water to rinse off.

Avoid excessive washing or scrubbing. It makes the acne worse. Use gentle cleansers to clean the area.

Page 17

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Abstain from using oily substances and avoid prolonged exposure from the sun.

Never pick or squeeze the pimples. Doing this would not make them go away, but cause severe acne scars.

All the examples given above are highly effective for mild to moderate acne problems. However, if you find them unresponsive, you may consider seeking professional care and guidance.

This is another one of those theories floating around like some urban legend. The reason for this could be due to the fact that people have a late night, wake up early feeling groggy only to find a new pimple on their face that seems to have miraculously appeared overnight.

Sleeping late will not cause acne. The time you sleep does not really matter. What matters is how much sleep you get and the quality of your sleep.

People who are working demanding jobs with demanding deadlines live frenetic lives. The constant struggle to keep up is stressful and often they

Page 18

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! sleep shorter hours and have a poorer quality of sleep since they are mentally stressed out.

This is also true of brides who are so busy getting things ready for their wedding and are stress themselves out. They then wonder why a pimple suddenly appears on their big day.

Insufficient sleep is indirectly related to acne. There is no clear evidence suggesting that sleep deprivation is directly related to acne formation. However, studies reveal that indirectly, less sleep causes acne and worsens the pre-existing condition.

When you get insufficient sleep you tend to deprive your body of the adequate amount of rest required for rejuvenation. This results in stress, increased insulin resistance, increased inflammation, depression, etc.

The less sleep you have, the more stressed out you will be physically and mentally. Increased stress in a person results in stimulation of adrenal

Page 19

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! glands which are responsible for producing androgens.

Secretion of these hormones in the body triggers acne formation. Stress also affects the immune system of the body and it takes more time to heal pre-existing acne. When the immune system is low, yeast infections make occur too and manifest in the areas around the mouth as acne.

Lack of sleep is known to induce systemic inflammation. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, reports that inadequate sleep leads to increase in inflammatory cytokines.

Increase in these substances will raise the chances of the body getting inflammation. By now we all know, that acne is inflammation due to blocked pores in the skin. A result that was triggered because of increased amount of cytokines in the body.

Insulin resistance is a condition when the body has to produce more insulin for maintaining blood glucose level. Lack of sleep leads to increased insulin resistance thus, forcing the body to produce more insulin. This also leads to increased sebum production and inflammation which are potential causes for acne formation.

Sleep deprivation leads to altered mental and emotional framework which

Page 20

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! can cause depression in individuals. Depression creates a negative attitude in a person's mind thereby hampering the overall well-being of the individual. Poor overall health decreases healing ability of the body thus, affecting acne in a negative way.

All the above facts should tell you one thing... Get enough sleep. Period.

You know what they say... Mother knows best. The food you eat does play a role in your acne breakouts. Let's see why.

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know!

There is a lot written and said about the causes of acne. Although there is no direct connection between diet and acne, a healthy diet plays a key role in the overall well-being and appearance of a person.

When the body gets all the essential nutrients, it is clearly reflected in the person's health. But there are several foods that trigger acne breakouts. However, the list may not be the same for everyone. It depends on how your body reacts to a particular food.

Page 22

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Certain foods can be the cause of acne and pimples in some, while in others the consumption of the same foods may not pose a problem at all. That's what makes it so tricky.

The truth of the matter is that everybody is different. For example, French fries may have no effect on your friends, but could most definitely be the trigger for the acne outbreaks in the you. You can't draw your conclusions from other people's data. It just doesn't work that way.

A common cause for acne breakout is food allergies. When your body is allergic to a particular food item, continuous toxic reactions take place in the body releasing a lot of toxins.

This leads to inflammation in the skin resulting in clogged pores, thereby causing acne. Certain foods cause cystic acne which are very difficult to treat. As already mentioned, it's difficult to identify a fixed list of foods that may cause acne, as the causative factors may differ from person to person.

Let's take a look at some common foods that are widely deemed responsible for triggering acne.

Page 23

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Red Meat Red meat is known to trigger acne in many cases. Animal proteins are difficult to digest as compared to the vegetable ones. The waste products left in the body may be released through the skin which results in acne.

Moreover, there are hormones present in such foods. So, consuming them leads to a rise in the hormone levels which may result in pimples.

Page 24

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Dairy Products Researchers claim that dairy products may have a negative impact on the skin, milk being one of the significant causes for acne breakout. This is mainly because of the fat content and also the hormones present in milk. However, not all who drink milk suffer from acne problems. Excessive consumption of dairy products can also worsen the condition.

Page 25

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! Eggs Eggs are one of the most common food allergens that can trigger acne. Generally, it is the egg yolk that is considered to be most problematic, so egg lovers can still have the pleasure of egg whites.

Processed Foods Processed foods contain a lot of preservatives and additives which may not be very good for your skin. They contain toxins which may trigger acne

Page 26

O v e r c o m i n g A c n e : S k i n C a r e S e c r e t s Yo u MUST Know! breakouts. Refined sugar or artificial sweeteners can also be harmful for an acne prone skin.

Grains Wheat and other grains are also not good for an acne prone skin as they are converted into sugars quickly when consumed. Many bacteria and parasites which cause acne and skin rashes feed on them. So, try avoiding products made out of grains like biscuits, bread, pasta, etc.

Caffeine Foods containing caffeine like chocolates, coffee, tea and other cola drinks are known to be detrimental too. Caffeine increases hormone production and can lead to major acne breakouts.

Page 27

This list will aid in identifying the foods (if any) that trigger acne in your case. Avoiding these foods can help get a clean, healthy and radiant skin.

Also consume plenty of fresh fruits and drink adequate water to help flush out the toxins from your body. Regular exercises and a well-balanced diet is the key to a clear and flawless skin.
