The Top Method to Quickly Get Rid of Acne Revealed! Find Out How You Can Have Acne-Free Skin Now!
March 2, 2010 at 11:59 AM

Acne is a very problematic trouble to deal with. If your face is now covered with an uncountable amount of zits right now, make sure you read this article now. In this article, you will find some of the most effective methods that thousands others have successfully used to get rid of their acne. To be honest with you, I don't see why you can't achieve a clear, acne-free skin in just a few weeks or months. I have personally removed all the zits in less than three months. Acne was everywhere on my face, and this had been troubling me everyday for more than 10 years.

What the Dermatologist Says

When I went to visit a very well known and recognized dermatologist, I was given two types of pharmaceutical drugs - accutane and tetracycline. These two drugs, as I have found out later, can cause dozens of nasty side effects. When asked by me what exactly was causing the formation of acne on my skin, the doctor didn't seem to be able to give me an appr! opriate answer. In the mainstream medical world, acne has no known causes. It is developed through several stages and yet the doctors don't seem to know what exactly are the causes.

Finding Hope

If you are feeling down because your face is covered by acne, do not worry. Dear friend, I know this is a very treatable and curable disease, and it's not your fault so do not put any weight on your shoulders. The emotional side effects of acne are devastating. I didn't really want to go out and hang out with my buddies because I had a very severe acne. I couldn't find the courage to talk to women, because I felt like a third class guy. But now, that is no longer the case.

I am now much more confident in myself with an acne-free skin.

This all can be achieved, but you will need to put in some effort to follow the system that I about to show you.

Nutrition

Nutrients are some of the most vital subst! ances required by all of us in order to have a healthy body. I! t just g oes without saying that without certain nutrients in your daily, your skin will suffer greatly. Nutrients like zinc and vitamin C can help improve your body's immune system and aid greatly in your fight against the skin disorder.

Your Diet

It is without a single doubt that what you eat in everyday can have a huge effect on your current acne condition. I have experienced and tested this myself. When I ate a lot of junk foods, or foods that were heavily processed with preservatives, flavorings and colorings, my acne seemed to get worse.

But when I ate more anti-inflammatory foods like sweet potatoes, carrots, garlic and other fruits and vegetables, my skin complexion would improve drastically. The lesson here is simple. If you eat a healthy and balanced diet, then you will most definitely achieve an acne-free skin.

Prevent Acne With Clean Brushes
March 2, 2010 at 11:52 AM

Good makeup brushes are essential for applying makeup as you conceal and get rid of acne. They help you control the amount of makeup you put on while achieving effects that just can not be made with your fingers or sponges. However, brushes can be a prime breeding ground for acne bacteria. Using dirty brushes to put makeup on your face transfers that bacteria to both your makeup and your face. This defeats all the efforts you are making with your acne treatments by aggravating it all over again.

The following are a few guidelines for keeping your makeup brushes clean:

  • Use a specific brush cleaner or some baby shampoo to thoroughly clean your brushes at least once a week. Straighten out the bristles and let the brushes air dry over night before using them again. If they are wet, it will ruin the makeup effect you are trying to achieve.
  • For foundation and concealer brushes, clean them after each time you use them. These brushes are used to put foundation all over your face. To prevent acne you need to make sure you are not transferring bacteria back where it does not belong. If you are too busy in the morning, clean the brush at night and it will be dry by morning.
  • For blush and bronzer brushes, do a quick clean after using them and then a thorough clean once a week. There are sprays you can buy that are specifically for quick brush changes, such as Sephora's Quick Change brush cleaner.
  • For eye liner brushes, clean after each time you use them to avoid eye infections.

These guidelines apply to any other makeup applicators you use as well. Makeup sponges are particularly attractive to bacteria and are more difficult to clean, even with soap and water. Luckily, different shape makeup sponges are available in multi-packs and are fairly inexpensive so replace them often. Most importantly, always make sure your hands are clean when you put your makeup on or anytime you touch your face.

Keeping all your makeup tools clean will help ensure that your acne does not get worse and allows your acne treatments to work without any interference from additional bacteria.

Beating Acne Strategies
March 2, 2010 at 11:46 AM

Acne is a common problem that affects millions of people each and every year. While there is a lot of information on the topic, simple things can be done to make beating acne a reality. I've been studying the causes and solutions for acne for years now, and have found that a single person can do a lot (without expensive medication).

Try these basic techniques and learn to beat your acne.

  • Clean your skin gently with a mild, non-drying soap (such as Dove, Neutrogena, or Basics). Always use a clean towel when doing this. Remove all dirt or make-up. Wash once or twice a day, including after exercising. However, avoid excessive or repeated skin washing. This can cause scarring or simply contribute to the problem.
  • Shampoo your hair daily, especially if it's oily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep the hair out of your face. Avoid tight headbands. This will help remove the oil from your skin and give you skin a chance to recover.
  • Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. Although it might be tempting to do this, it can lead to scarring and skin infections. This is a hard one, but when you touch your face, you introduce more possible infection to the area.
  • Avoid touching your face with your hands or fingers. Doing this can make the problem worse.
  • Avoid greasy cosmetics or creams. Look for water-based or "non-comedogenic" formulas. Take make-up off at night. Try to let your skin breathe, by taking off anything off your skin that can make it worse.

Top Secret Acne Treatments
March 2, 2010 at 11:24 AM

Nowadays, numerous acne fighting products are available on the market but sadly, most of them are simply not working and only result to a waste of time and money. On the other hand though, there are also a handful of those which work quite well. The hard part is that those people suffering from acne will have to exert a lot more time, effort and money in trying to find the best and suitable acne treatments for them. Teenagers, however, often outgrow acne before they find a treatment that works.

Among the better acne treatments around the market today is ProActiv. It is a non-prescription acne treatment that has been reported to have helped a lot of people who could not find other solutions that worked for them. A number of infomercials, news stories, magazine articles, and newspaper articles have already featured ProActiv. It is a treatment system that has a renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, and repairing lotion. Benzoyl, which is a prescription grade peroxid! e, is the active ingredient in it.

One treatment that is available in the market today that requires prescription is Accutane. It is a very powerful medication that is only suited for those who are suffering from severe and persistent acne. This medication is to be taken internally and possible side effects may be expected to occur. Among these side effects are birth defects, drying and cracking of lips, and liver dysfunction.

Another popular treatment for acne are topical medications such asRretin-a. A lot of people have reported success with Retin-a for treatment of acne, acne scars, wrinkles and even stretch marks, skin discoloration, and other skin troubles. Most Retin-a medications are available by prescription, but there are also some over the counter medications containing Retin-a.

Acne treatments do not just come in chemical forms. Some essential oils are also known to have beneficial effects on treating acne. These essential oils may be applied to! pically to treat mild to moderate acne. Some of these widely k! nown ess ential oils for acne treatment are: Tea Tree Oil, Bergamot Oil, Clove Oil, Lavender Oil, and Rosewood Oil. Mixing Grapeseed Oil on the said essential oils is also done for dilution and for best results.

In finding the best acne treatment suitable for an individual, it is important to start with essential oils. If essential oils do not provide promising results, the next step would be trying non prescriptive medications such as ProActiv. If these do not work, then proceed on prescription alternative. It can also be considered to have tests for food allergies, as certain allergies may also cause acne. In this case, the only treatment needed to deal with acne is by eliminating the identified causes from one's diet.

Acne is a Condition That Starts From Inside the Body - And This is Where a Cure Also Begins
March 2, 2010 at 6:59 AM

Have you ever thought that the reason for your acne might lie within your body and not on your skin? The main stream media and big business don't want you to know that that is exactly where a complete cure for acne resides inside our bodies.

Big business, big pharmaceutical companies, large marketing companies, they all have a lot of money invested in different pills and creams, so they don't want you to realize that acne is a condition that can be cured through simple natural methods and remedies.

Once we're clean on the inside and our inner terrain is balanced our skin will be completely clear and absolutely glow. That is everyone's birth right, but we've forgotten. We've been duped into thinking the cure lies in some antibiotic or some fancy cream. Lies. The only thing that happens there is we need to keep using those medications to get some sort of result.

And often the results are lousy. For me all those creams did was make my skin much more irrit! ated and red looking. Did it clear up my skin? A little bit, but not entirely. And my face just kept breaking out in other places. It was a nightmare.

Things changed for me the day I noticed that this girl at school who was known for having really bad skin was suddenly completely clear of acne. She was one of the girls that got picked on, but now she simply looked great. I was amazed at the change. I had to know her secret.

So, I went up and complimented her on her skin. She said thanks and noticed that my face and skin weren't looking so great. And she proceeded to tell me that the cure for acne lies inside our bodies and that we need to clean and balance our insides. I listened. And when she was gone I took some notes.

It made complete sense to me. Acne is a reflection of our inflamed and unbalanced insides, I was excited. So, I followed her instructions and went to the grocery store to pick up the foods that she had suggested, I also tossed out all the ! foods that she told me were making me break out.

I was e! xcited, but I didn't expect such a rapid change in my complexion. It literally only took a few days to see a difference and within a week I felt completely changed and looked completely changed.

Preventing Acne in an Alternate and Different Way
March 2, 2010 at 5:57 AM

Preventing acne is something that has kept people and pharmaceutical companies busy for years and years. Ordinary folk like you and me spend hundreds of dollars a year on acne products that promise to cure and/or prevent our acne (believe me, I know and yes, I have spent a lot of money on these products and so have you if you total it up). But do these products actually work? In the short term, yes, they seem to work, then when they don't seem to work anymore, you move onto the next product and that seems to work for a while, then you move on to the next "guaranteed to work" product and the cycle repeats itself. Sound familiar?

What if preventing acne could be done in an alternate and different way? Don't get me wrong, I have tried many, many acne skin products in my time and they do have their place for some people and certainly seem to work for some people. But not for me. Others are quite happy to spend their money over and over again in the pursuit of acne fre! edom. But, what about you? Are you happy to spend all that money for a product that may or may not relieve your acne and probably only short term?

What if preventing acne or curing acne could be solved another way? Or could be prevented or cured by doing something you've never tried before?

Have you heard of an holistic approach or tried an holistic approach to preventing acne? No? What this means is that you are treat your whole self and get to the root of the problem and not just treat the symptoms, i.e., your acne. Finding a different approach to preventing or curing your acne is sometimes all you need. Holistic approaches to treating and curing a variety of ailments, illness and conditions have been proven to work and the same is true for acne.

So, why don't you give it a try? Want to learn more to begin the process of curing or preventing acne?

What to Expect From Benzoyl Peroxide
March 2, 2010 at 4:59 AM

One of the oldest and most common treatments for acne is benzoyl peroxide. It has been around for a long time, but it's still effective. There are many new treatment options available on the market these days, but none of them have really proven to be safer or more effective than benzoyl peroxide.

Applying benzoyl peroxide to areas affected by acne is in itself painless, however there can be some discomfort following the treatment. The areas where it is applied will get itchy, red, and very dry. After that, the skin will peal like it does after a sunburn.

The reason this happens is because of the chemical reaction caused by the benzoyl peroxide. This reaction is between the benzoyl peroxide and the oxygen in the air. When the two of them mix, benzoic acid is created. The effect of the benzoic acid is the removal of the top layer of skin in the treated area. Once the top layer has been removed, the skin is more susceptible to sunburns. After treatment, it is ! a good idea to avoid direct sunlight.

Benzoyl peroxide is a key ingredient in many acne treatment products. Here are some of the products that contain it:

  • Basiron
  • Panoxyl
  • OXY
  • Brevoxyl
  • NeoBenz Micro
  • Stioxyl

One of the benefits of these products is that they can be applied in the home by the patient. An example of how to use them to treat acne is as follows:

  1. Thoroughly clean the affected area and pat it dry with a clean cloth
  2. Wait 15 minutes
  3. Apply the benzoyl peroxide product to the affected area
  4. Apply a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30

This process should be performed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight after the treatments so as to prevent sunburn. Other than sensitivity to the sun, the only known side effects of benzoyl peroxide are itchiness, redness, and dryness. All of these side effect are considered to be manageable.

Selecting an appropriate product is a matter of personal preference. Do some research and see which one most appeals to you.

Tried Everything For Your Acne? Add This to Your Regimen For Guaranteed Results! It's Free!
March 2, 2010 at 4:38 AM

I know, you have tried everything you've read about, seen on TV and the net, and heard about to clear up your skin and you're still not there. Tired of all the promises? Me, too. Just stay with me one more moment, though.

I promise there is one more thing you can do that will absolutely make a difference in your skin and your overall well-being, too. And best of all, you can do it absolutely free!

Simply, if you will drink one ounce of water each day for every two pounds of your body weight you will soon notice a big difference in the quality of your skin. And, as an added benefit, unless you are already very trim, you will have to drink less water over time. Why? Because this tip will also help you lose weight! And unless there is a reason you need to limit your water intake, it's totally healthy.

That's right, if you weight 120 pounds just drink a half gallon of water a day. Tipping the scales around 250? You'll need a gallon. Here's the math. Take y! our weight in pounds, divide it in half, and you have the number of ounces of water you'll need each day. For example, if I weigh 150 pounds, I'll need to drink75 ounces daily.

Can't add that much liquid to your diet? Even better. If you exchange water for what you are drinking now you will see even more improvement.

How does this happen? Most of us go through life a little dehydrated - without enough water in our bodies. Many acne professionals believe this alone is enough to cause acne. Besides, drinking more water flushes out more toxins - and toxins are a definite acne contributor. And as I mentioned earlier, replacing other drinks with water does even more, as so many of our drinks contain things that make acne worse.

Don't believe you can do it? Try measuring out the amount of water you need each morning and putting it in a bottle or two for the day. Keep a container with you and you'll be surprised how you can use it up during the day.

You can! also start with half the amount you need and add a little at ! a time u ntil you reach your goal. You may even be able to adjust your goal downward as you lose weight.

Sound too easy? Give it a month and see what happens. Ask your doctor if there us some reason you need to limit your water intake. If not, give it a try!

Remember when you were in high school and every little problem was intensified? You were getting ready for the dance and what should you notice in the mirror...not now, not there!

Being a teenager is never easy, but if you're a teenager with acne on your face, well, life certainly feels like more of an ordeal. The same time-weary question arises 'how do I get rid of this'?

Far from an isolated problem, acne is still the scourge of the teenage scene and strikes up to 70% of teenagers at some point. It is hard to understand why this problem is still so seemingly misunderstood by the general public in this day and age. Outside of infomercials it doesn't seem that the medical community has done a very good job of educating the public on the causes and cures for teenage acne. Great strides have been made on both the causes and cures fronts.

To be fair, most teens will only have a mild case that will tend to go away on its own, without ever really knowing th! e reason it showed up in the first place. But for those that it is a problem, it is important to know why it is occurring and what can be done about it.

Those teens that have more than the passing blemish should seek the advice of a dermatologist. There are several causes as well as several ways to combat the condition.

Causes vary. Some doctors claim acne is a hereditary disease. Others consider diet to blame. The teen's own hormonal activity can be a contributing factor to the presence of acne. A blood test by your doctor will help to determine if a hormonal imbalance is the culprit.

Cures vary as well. A change in diet can help some sufferers. There are several topical treatment options that can be acquired through prescription. And there are a few good over the counter multi-step products available as well. For those with more severe acne that will end up leaving scars there is a drug of last resort (isotretinoin) that is available and does a very good! job of totally clearing up problem acne, for good. But it can! have so me severe side effects, especially in girls. It can only be prescribed and is closely monitored with monthly blood work to make sure the side effects are not occurring.

With the latest research that has been done with acne to determine causes, and the resulting information about diet and products that perform the cure, that scene in front of the mirror should be happening a lot less for today's teenager.

Vitamins For the Skin
March 1, 2010 at 10:14 PM

There are a number of known things that contribute to acne. There is no definite cause unfortunately. But there are definitely things that contribute to it and can cause future problems in general. With this in mind, one of the major things that has been associated with contributing to acne is vitamin deficiencies. Basically all vitamin deficiencies can contribute to greater acne problems. So a good multivitamin can contribute to benefits.

Likewise, the simple fact is that products like Acnetox take a more comprehensive approach and they can also contribute to the fight against acne in other ways. Because when it comes right down to it, just addressing acne related needs is not actually going to do the whole job unfortunately. However, there are a few select vitamins that I've noticed that are particularly good for the skin, and they should be found in every supplement.

* vitamin A-this is the most obvious. Now vitamin A has gotten somewhat of a bad name for! the simple fact that it can cause greater problems in toxic amounts, and many products like Accutane do actually give you toxic amounts. But despite all the severe side effects, they apparently temper this. This being said, you can get all natural products like Acnetox for example that actually use non toxic amounts that can still be beneficial for the skin, helping you to shed away dead skin cells and get the greater acne fighting benefits.

* Vitamin C-this is usually recognized for its greater benefits to the immune system. But you might be surprised by the powerful antioxidants and other components found specifically in vitamin C that can brighten and tone the skin. With vitamin C, you can find it in many more acidic fruits that can be used to tone the skin externally. But when you take it internally, it can also have a considerable effect.

* Vitamin E-this is the last of only 3 vitamins recognized to be good for the skin even in amounts greater than the req! uired essential amounts. It works as an essential vitamin yes.! But it also works as a powerful antioxidant, and ultimately speaking, it comes down to the fact that it will help the skin in total.

* Zinc-finally, there is one that is not necessarily considered such a vitamin as a mineral. With zinc, it has been used sometimes in combination with other ingredients as it should be in products such as Acnetox for example. But it has also been used on its own. Basically, zinc helps to aid the immune system to fight bacteria and other problems, and ultimately it helps you to fight your acne.

With these vitamins, you can get significant results. Now I would not personally rely on vitamins alone. I would also get detoxifiers, antioxidants, and other ingredients in general, ideally to fight acne from the inside out like you would with Acnetox. However, if you have these, they make a great addition to an effective acne supplement in general.

Whiteheads - What Are They and How to Get Rid of Them
March 1, 2010 at 9:15 PM

Pimples are annoying. They just keep coming back and ruining the complexion of your face! They can be small, big, and sometimes different colors.

There are different types of zits. There are blackheads, whiteheads, and other types of pimples that are pure red. Blackheads tend to have a dark tip right inside the skin, hence the name. These are hard to get out and can hurt in the process.

The ones that look like blisters can hurt also but are not able to be popped most of the time. They may have buildup underneath the skin, but it is under too many layers and usually cannot be pushed out.

Whiteheads are typically easy to pop and are easily recognizable as well. They are white or a darkish-white at the tip. Once you push them out, it typically bursts out instead of coming out smooth like blackheads. There is more pressure buildup with whiteheads and they are made out of different types of bacteria.

To get rid of whiteheads you should follow a certai! n guideline. You don't want to make the area where the pimple was worse, so you have to be careful when you are trying to remove a pimple.

Make sure to wash your face before hand. Keeping your face clean from bacteria is necessary to keep germs out of the general area of the zit you are attempting to pop.

When you actually go to pop it, take a Kleenex, tissue paper, or some type of thin cloth and put it underneath the two fingers that you are going to use to pop the pimple. Do not use your nails; use the tips of your fingers.

When you apply enough pressure, the whitehead should pop. Clean it up with the tissue you used under your fingers and make sure to wash your face again.

Whiteheads are fairly easy to remove, but even easier to get, so make sure you are doing enough maintenance on your face so you don't have to pop any extras!

Acne Prevention - Is Water the Answer You Have Overlooked?
March 1, 2010 at 9:09 PM

Could something as simple as water be used to prevent acne and give you the beautiful skin you dream about? Water is not the first thing that comes to mind for most people when they look for acne treatments.

We really don't think about our skin very much until there's a problem. Your skin is much more than just a covering to keep your insides in and more than packaging to make you look more appealing.

Your skin is one of the bodies organs just as much as your kidneys or your heart. Your skin is there to prevent unwanted bacteria getting in. Your skin is there to help regulate your body temperature. When your body gets overload with waste products your skin is there as another way for your body to take the trash out.

When you don't drink water your whole body suffers. The body goes into conservation mode to conserve water and keep you alive. One of the first organs to get water restrictions are your kidneys. When your kidneys don't get the water they ne! ed to flush the toxins from inside, your body has to find another way.

If you don't get rid of these toxins, they affect your vital organs and cause damage. Your skin is the safety valve, the alternate route for removing these harmful waste products. If you want clear skin you need to drink 8 - 10 glasses of plain water. Soda, coffee and even fruit juice don't count. While you can get enough water from these drinks to keep you alive. They have so many other things in them that the body needs to process first, the water benefit is minimal at best.

Soda is loaded with sugar or artificial sweetener which add to the toxic load in your body. Coffee even without any sugar is a diuretic and forces as much water from the body as was in the coffee. Fruit juice if it is freshly squeezed and does not have added sugar is good for you as it will have lots of essential vitamins and minerals necessary to keep your healthy and your skin looking good.

However it cannot tak! e the place of water in the elimination of toxins. You need to! have th e juice as well as your 8 glasses of water. When you exercise you need to have another four glasses of water for every hour you exercise.

We all know that we need to drink water to be healthy however it's one of those things that we tend to put off. I'll drink more water tomorrow, then we get busy and that soda or even juice seem just so much easier. Soda and juice are just so much more appealing that plain old water but if you want to prevent acne you need to make drinking water a priority. You will need to be consistent, start the habit of carrying a water bottle with you daily.

Drinking water is not just important for you to be healthy but could be the missing piece of acne prevention you have missed. Start drinking water today and you will notice the difference.

Best Acne Treatment - The Best Way to Get Rid of Terrible Acne Once and For All
March 1, 2010 at 1:59 PM

There are several treatments for acne which an individual may consider the best. There are options to choose from and this would vary from people's choice and preference. Some would want to go medical- consulting dermatologist and undergoing procedure that might involve syringes and anesthesia. Some would prefer it to be just natural- making use of what's readily available and easily accessed for them. Now let me present to you the best acne treatment for both medically and naturally inclined individuals.

For the medically inclined, the best acne treatment is the incorporation of surgery or state of the art machinery so to speak. One option to consider is the chemical peel. It uses Glycolic acid and other chemical agents to loosen and soften blackheads and acne breakouts. For severe acne cases, there is the process called Drainage and Surgical Extraction.

Coming from the word, the large cysts which usually do not respond to medication, will be surgically rem! oved and extracted. This could be a very painful process, not to mention, but very effective. Once the cyst is gone, it will never go back. It a few days or weeks, the face will heal, and will become better than ever.

For the naturally inclined, there are options to consider and one of which is the use of tea tree oil. Though simple as it may seem, it is packed by anti bacterial capability to combat and kill acne causing agents. Another option would be either daily milk or honey face mask. Both honey and milk are packed with vitamins and minerals to strengthen the skin's immune system, tightening skin while loosening the acne at the same time.

Whatever your choice is would definitely be good for you. These options were given for you to finally decide on what to go for. But what's great about this is, you can be both medically and naturally inclined. You discover the best of both worlds and get the best results.
