A Spot of Acne?

If man can walk on the moon then one might ask – why the hell can’t they find a way to get rid of acne? With no miracle cure on the horizon it is down to you to ensure you have the right acne warfare kit in place to keep spots at bay. As ever prevention is always better than cure. But if a pimple does manage to rear its ugly head then make sure you have the herbal remedies to stop it in its tracks.

Acne is caused by your skin producing too much sebum – a natural oily lubricant – and the excess blocks your pores. Hormone fluctuations caused by puberty, taking contraceptive pills, periods, pregnancy or the onset of the menopause often increase sebum production, triggering the onset of acne. Other types of culprits include certain types of make-up, sunbathing and stress.

As with anything it’s always better to stop bad things from happening in the first place rather than reacting to them once they do happen. Unfortunately with acne things are less straight forward than with many ailments and, in many cases, acne is actually hereditary.

Nevertheless a good place to start is to have a good acne cream or gel to take care of your skin from the outside. You can buy several over-the counter products formulated with benzoyl peroxide for example. However our product of choice is ClearSkin-A Gel, a safe and natural choice to help treat and prevent acne and heal scars.

You’re also going to need a good skin wash that will not only keep your skin clean but also nourish it. Although it is important to keep your skin clean do beware of over-cleaning as that can actually cause acne by stimulating the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Try and avoid granulated cleansers and don’t use a flannel as they may harbour bacteria.

The best face washes are those that will cleanse your skin without making it dry and flaky. ClearSkin Face Wash is a medicated skin wash formulated to be used with ClearSkin-A gel. Acne Fighter Face wash is another natural cleanser from the excellent nourish range, purifying skin and destroying deep laden bacteria. Neither of these acne face washes uses harsh cleaners that dry out skin and would both make an excellent addition to your acne fighter armory. Just make sure you wash your skin each day – morning and evening – and you are good to go.

Now that you have the tools for fighting acne on the outside it is time to take a look at what is going on inside. Healthy skin is dependent on a healthy body so take a look at your lifestyle. Are you eating healthily? Do you drink too much? Are you getting enough exercise? These are all questions which you need to ask yourself and although the answers are very much subjects on their own, there are other ways to help you ensure your body is equipped to defend itself.

There are several effective products that can help to boost your immune system to help your body fight acne. ImmunityPlus is an effective liquid herbal formula that is a blend of African, Asian and other herbs specifically formulated to optimize immune functioning. It contains natural antibiotics and antiviral herbs which can help the body to fight against bacterial infections of the skin and other organs.

An effective body detox formula will then help you to remove toxins and other free radicals from your system. The two most popular detox programmes are Detox Drops and Oxy Powder.

Detox Drops are a liquid herbal formula that is especially formulated to cleanse and detoxify the system, improving skin condition and the body’s ability to fight infection and disease. Meanwhile Oxy Powder is a personal favourite within TrooHealthCare.com, a scientifically formulated compound that uses the power of oxygen to cleanse the internal systems. Be warned though – Oxy Powder is not for the faint hearted so just make sure you have access to a toilet when you get out of bed as the cleansing tends to be very sudden :-) .

With your body cleansed and free from toxins the last thing to do is to supplement your diet to aid skin structure and regeneration. DermaVitol was formulated to support your skin’s structure and to encourage cell growth and tissue repair. It provides an amazing combination of Horsetail Extract, (Standardized 7% Silica) L-Methionine, Hyaluronate Sodium, Collagen and Coenzyme Q10 to support your skin for a more radiant, youthful and healthy look.

So there you have it – the ultimate acne destruction kit. Using the treatments mentioned above will help to prevent, treat and heal the symptoms of acne and hopefully leave you feeling a whole lot happier.

Getting a pimple now and then is not a major problem. However if your blemishes don’t respond using these natural remedies within three months, or your skin becomes severely inflamed with painful, fluid filled lumps and a reddish or purplish cast, then it is time to see your doctor.
