Without a moment’s hesitation, know that a complete lifestyle adjustment is the best way to get rid of acne. Similar to the Ten Commandments that we live by, which teaches us how to get on with one another, respect one another, etc., so we need to apply a code of ethics to our bodies and general health.
One without the other causes conflict, be it in relationships or in our internal and external organs. The skin is the largest organ of the body and needs to be taken care of so that it can perform its duties. If something is unbalanced internally it often manifests externally. Acne is a result of an imbalance in hormones which presents itself externally to warn us that all is not correct in our bodies. Hormones are an essential part of development. Sometimes our bodies produce too much of one and too little of another. Acne is the result of an excess of the hormone testosterone.
Rather than alter the hormone levels with harsh drugs and chemicals like birth control pills, steroids, an excess of vitamin supplements, Accutane, etc. it is preferable and safer to go the holistic and natural way.
Forget about acne being caused purely by poor hygiene. Bad skin hygiene interferes with the healing process of the skin and makes it more susceptible to acne. So washing twice a day with an antibacterial and antiseptic liquid or gel soap is a vital step in getting rid of acne and keeping it well under control. Toning to close the pores and replenishing with moisturizer are two further steps to ensure a smooth, even toned, clear skin.
Drug and cosmetic companies spend millions of dollars each year, coming up with new and improved drugs, lotions and creams to keep the wheels of their industries earning the trillions of dollars. Get back to basics and you will find everything that you need to cure acne, if not in your home, in a natural form that does not have any lasting awful side effect.
Take your time to study the different natural products available, like Tea Tree Oil from Australia, Aloe Vera from North Africa, Rooibos Tea from South Africa, Dead Sea Mineral Salts and Muds from Israel/Jordan, Alaskan deep sea mineral salts and muds, dozens of herbs from China and India, and so much more. This information is discussed in other articles on our site. Most of these products are well marketed throughout the world and are generally affordable because they are available to everyone and not patented and restricted to one company for years. There are no miracle cures for acne or any other ailment for that matter; it is all about getting the balance correct from within, and then you can create a miracle.
And on that point, eating a healthy diet is essential for a good balance. You need to listen to what your body is telling you and take appropriate action to correct it. An acne outbreak means that you got a load of Testosterone possibly because you ate, maybe too much chocolate, sugar, or whatever. Boron which is one of the minerals found in Dead Sea and Alaskan products can assist with balancing this. Generally a deficiency of Boron accentuates a lack of Vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is found in fish, eggs, milk, cod liver oil and many other foods. The sun also contributes to the daily production of Vitamin D. Ten minutes a day is sufficient exposure to prevent deficiencies.
This is just an example of what you can do to correct imbalances in your body so that you will have an overall feeling of great health and a clear, radiant skin to go with that feeling. We all know how good we feel when we look good and our faces tell a million stories. Rather than suffer the agonies of unsightly skin on our faces, necks, chests and backs, take a long look at what might be causing yours and act to correct it now before it becomes infected and leaves deforming scars.
