Pimple Facts

These are 5 of my tips (in no particular order) to help you achieve healthy, clear skin and prevent breakouts. This will not help you cure acne or other more serious skin problems, but they are just general tips for healthy skin 1. Diet – cut back on greasy/fried and spicy foods. Try to eat more nutritious foods with vitamins A, B, C, and E. 2. Water – drink lots of water to help your body naturally cleanse. 3. Sleep – get a decent amount of sleep regularly to help your body heal and fight off germs. 4. Contact – take preventative actions to minimize contact between your face and anything that is dirty or can carry bacteria. Wash your face regularly. 5. Moisturize – to maintain your skin’s natural balance of oils and moisture…otherwise your skin will go on overdrive producing oil and can cause breakouts! By the way, just to clarify…when I mention “diet” in this video, it refers to what you eat on a regular basis (not as in “go on a diet”). Thanks for watching!

I been using clearasil ultra for my acne but it’s a little to harsh for my skin and hasn’t been working that well. I’ve been using it for about 2 months and the acne goes away but leaves horrale red dots and by time they go away new acne comes. Does anyone know a simple home remedy to make that will help my acne, and maybe even help my dry skin? Also if you know any good products for acne that works well let me know. Thanks.

Acne treatment using antibiotics and drugs aren’t always the best and could do more harm than good. The top effective way to treat stubborn acne is to actually treat it from within. You might find these tips beneficial in treating acne from the inside out.

You will also find out the 1 thing that all doctor do not want you to know about acne treatment at the end of this article.

What NOT to Do:

1. Don’t consume too much sweet foods or sweet liquids. Stay away from chocolate, sodas, candy and anything that has refined sugar as a main ingredient. Sugar clogs pores and dries out the skin, which are two main causes of acne.

2. Do not ex foliate skin with acne. Rough treatment of skin with acne will only cause skin inflammation and make the acne problem even worse. Don’t use harsh chemicals, soaps, or cleansers on sensitive skin with acne.

3. Don’t apply oil-based products. Skin with acne is already struggling with an overproduction of oil so don’t worsen the problem by using oil-based products. Keep an eye out for typically oily products such as facial creams, moisturizers, and including hair gels. Hair is definitely oily so keep your hair out of your face whenever possible. There are many acne treatments and products that are water-based and thus gentler and more appropriate for acne-prone skin.

4. Don’t unnecessarily touch your face. Touching your face, especially with dirty hands and fingers, could cause and further aggravate an acne problem. This also means not touching your acne in any way using your hands. Doing so will traumatize the skin and make the healing process a lot slower. It’ll also create unwanted acne scars and blemishes.

What TO Do:

1. Drink lots of water. Make sure that you are always drinking water when you feel thirsty or even a little hungry. Drink only in small amount throughout the day. Drinking lots of water not only replenishes the body’s water supply, but also flushes out toxins from the body that may cause acne.

2. Have a good skin care routine. Prevent acne problems by establishing a daily facial washing, toning, and moisturizing regimen early on. Non-comodegenic skin care products are specially formulated for sensitive skin with acne. Natural and organic acne product is highly recommended.

3. Relieve stress. Stress will disrupt your body’s natural balance and lead to lots of health problems such as acne. Avoid acne and skin problems from happening by staying relaxed and happy. Getting enough sleep, getting a massage, taking a long bath, going to the spa, or simply managing your time and schedule better are considered acne treatments because they relieve acne-inducing stress.

4. Consume more vegetables and fruits. Natural vegetables and fruits are filled with minerals and vitamins, which are the best acne fighters around. For example, orange and leafy vegetables are rich in Vitamin A. Vitamin A prevents over-production of sebum, which causes acne. Broccoli, strawberries, Oranges, bell peppers, and lemon juice are some Vitamin C rich foods that are also great acne treatments.

Eating these types of foods support the body’s defense system against acne-causing microbes and aids faster healing of acne. Vitamin C also helps your body replenish its sources of Vitamin E, which is essential in revitalizing the skin and repairing damaged skin.

Remember that you can effectively treat acne just by taking good care of your body. Acne treatments are not all about buying antibiotics or drugs from local drugstores.

Acne Cure – A Few Simple And Natural Steps To Get Rid Of Acne

Acne is a skin problem that affects most people during puberty when the hormonal changes occur. A male hormone called Testosterone in both men and women, and insulin-like growth factor are the two hormones most closely linked to acne. Testosterone stimulates the sebaceous glands of the skin to enlarge and produce oil called sebum. Too much sebum and dead skin cells often form a plug and block the pores and provide a breeding place for bacteria causing redness, swelling and bulges out from the skin.

Thousands of people from all over the world suffer from acne, the skin disorder that affecting 70 to 95% teenagers during puberty period. Sadly to say this skin disorder not only affecting teenagers but also adults between the age of 20 to 50. Imagine if you suffer this skin order endlessly until your adult life. It cost you a lot from swollen and sore facial skin, feeling unhappy, gross, depress and less confidence and spending lots of money for skin care product and treatment.

Some people are lucky enough that after passing the puberty cycle the acne problem go away without leaving any scar, but some are so unfortunate left with a deep permanent scar.

Believe me having acne for more than 30 years are far from FUN!

Being Asian living in the tropics, I had larger and more sebaceous glands with thicker epidermis that are prone to acne easily. Highly polluted and dusty air is also another factor that make my skin easily clogged by mixture of excess oil and dirt which cause acne.

I was one amongst the many people who suffered from pimples during my teenage years and suffered from whiteheads, pustules and severe cysts (deep pimples and boils) during my adult life.

In senior high as a typical teenager, I suffered from a hormone imbalance and started having pimples all over my face. It began to worry me as I experience quiet severe acne then. The peer pressure amongst children was very cruel. With no time I began experiencing and living in horror everyday being harassed as a “greaser” and “speckled face” name calling. Little by little I felt stressful and less confidence and asked my parents to seek treatment.

Treatment after treatment seemed endless and lead me nowhere, until my brother who studied in US introduced me with a tetracycline as antibiotics that were recommended by the US dermatologist at that time to cure acne. I started taking tetracycline without knowing what the side effects is. At that time I only concern that the pills helped me to clear the pimples away. Later in life I regretted for taking that so-called wonder drug.

If I knew the side effect, I would rather live with acne and sought other treatment than taking tetracycline. I guess I was one of the generations that got victimized by the pills. Through the year my teeth started experiencing discoloration, leaving overall gray cast in the enamel, accented with darker horizontal lines. It kept me away from wide happy smile as this was a permanent embarrassment to me.

Later in life, it cost me further as my teeth regularly had cavities and need filling and with times the teeth became so brittle and easily breaking off for no reason. If I could turn back the time, I would definitely seek other natural cure for acne rather than taking tetracycline.

The story was not ended here, I was fortunate enough to be able to move to US for my college year. My skin got better as I lived in a sub-tropic California and the four-season state of Ohio.

But again, like the ugly shadow at the age of 22 the breakout returned and followed me around for the next twenty years. Why Me? I even wondered and asked “Mirror, mirror on the wall when will be my acne gone for all?”

I tried different type of acne lotion and ointment from over the counter products. I even tried toothpaste and squeezing out the vitamin E soft caplet, applied them to the swollen acne expecting that they would be drying off and it would sooth the swollen and redness. I even tried the papaya skin mask to no avail (had to be careful that it can only be done within 5 to 8 minutes or my skin would be damaged from the sap of the papaya skin).

I spent lots of money to seek treatment from different beauty salon and dermatologist. When I came back to my country my acne became worst and I start living in nightmare. I had severe acne that affecting all over my face, chin and neck. It was no longer whiteheads or pustules. it was a cyst of deep pimples and boils.

I felt angry, hopeless, and gross. I started seek treatment from a local salon and using a traditional herbal mask. As the boils hurt like hell and swollen, I had no choice and let the dermatologist to cut open the acne and squeeze it out. I watched in horror as acne scars began to accumulate on my face.

Later as the condition worsened I seek treatment from a so-called famous dermatologist specialized in acne treatment, the doctor did the same procedures as the previous beauty salon, cleaned my face, cut open the acne, squeezed it out and sealed the wound using electrocautery. It hurt and smelled like a barbecued meat. I was once again horror as I watched that acne scars became worse and creating deep bean-sized hole, similar to the Chicken pox scar all over my face and chin.

When the acne breakout started to stop, I stopped taking the prescription drugs and it turned out that I was having yet another even worse breakouts.

After a while I felt tired of seeking treatment and taking drugs from a doctor, and I follow one of the doctors that recommended me to start cleansing my face using baby soap and decided to stop taking drugs. I was beginning to worry that I would have to take the same drugs for the rest of my life. It worked wonder for a while but my skin became so dull in appearance.

It took me more than five years to have my smooth, vibrant healthy looking skin back and lots of trial and error to find the natural ways to do it:

First, of course clean your face whenever necessary Wash your face with the left-over tea leaves, or cover your face by steam from the tea leaves in a pale of hot water Make sure your wash your hair regularly Never neither touch nor scratch the acne no matter how hurt and itchy, as the bacteria will harvest on the skin and the area will be filled with more acne Never squeeze or pop up the acne When experiencing breakout never scrub your face, use scrub lotion only when you have no breakout on your face If you need to use facial products such as lotion or moisturizer making sure it has no alcohol and fragrance content Ladies: avoid using thick make-up Drink lots of water, try avoiding cola Stay away from a second-hand smoke Be Happy and try not to live in stress or depression Exercise regularly. Exercise help reducing elevated insulin that trigger hormone imbalance and assist better blood circulation Take yoga class regularly. Yoga can help you less stress, detoxify and clean the impurities of your body Use an Aromatherapy that also works as Oxygen therapy to enhance skin repair and cell regeneration for a smoother, vibrant and healthy looking skin Choose a healthy diets with a protein rich and a low Glycemic Index food (Fiber, tofu and vegetables) and eat more fruits rich in antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E) such as Goji Berry, Berry, Citrus and Oranges Make sure you have enough sleep at least 8 hours a day. Avoid sleep deprivation.

The aforementioned are few steps done to accomplish my face acne free for life and get a smooth and vibrant looking skin. These might takes a year or two to accomplish.

Recently I accidentally found a better option from one of the famous e-book: Chris Gibson acne free in 3 days. Though the title seemed to good to be true for those of us who suffers from severe acne and scars, however all the steps mentioned in these e-book make sense and easily to follow, at least within 3 days of practicing the steps you will see the difference on your skin.

Hopefully all the information in this article will help those who desperately seek a natural way to cure acne and be acne-free for the rest of life, get back the self-confidence that are lost due to severe acne and feel great about yourself and appearance. Stop hiding yourself behind make-up, hats or veil.

Keep Smiling, Feel Happy and Confident at all time!

What is Acne – Pimples – Zits: The skin has numerous pores in it, sometimes oil’s, dirt or other things can cause these pores to become clogged, swollen, and red, this condition is called pimples.

What causes Acne in some people: Some folks get plastered with acne as a teen, while others carry some right into adult years, and yet others seem to hardly even get one pimple. Some folks swear that drinking a lot of soda causes outbreaks, while others blame chocolate. These may be more likely skin reactions or allergies to the products, instead of real acne. Because, How can drinking soda or eating chocolate cause ones pores to become clogged and infected ? Some folks say acne is also hereditary, I found out this may not be true also, since I have known parents who had very little acne problems growing up, but their children seemed to be covered with them as teens.

My secret discovery that stopped Acne – Pimples – Zits: I want to start right away by saying when I was a child and teen I started getting acne like most of us did. I tried the major brands of medicated pads and creams, they all helped a little but not much. Then I stumbled upon something that made almost all of my pimples go away for good. I stopped using all soaps on my face. Once I stopped using soaps my skin soon cleared up and I was never really plagued by acne again. Of course I would get one once in awhile or a rare boil someplace, but the acne never came back like it had done before. I often wondered how many teens and even adults that are plagued by acne, constantly wash their faces using soap, to clean their pores, not knowing that the soap may be the real cause of the acne. Of course this may not work for everyone, but when I stopped washing my face with soap, my acne stopped. If soap does not appear to be the cause of your acne, there are several products to try, such as: zeno, acnease, accutane, stridex, zenmed, triclear, tetrasil, astara, phytome, neutrogena, biore, phisoderm, and others.

Should you Pop Acne – Pimples – Zits: Everyone is different when it comes to this. I myself have popped the occasional ones I get, and when I did it always seemed to make them go away much faster then letting them do it themselves, and I have never had a scar form from doing so. But this is up to each of you, if you want to pop then pop, if you fear it, then let it alone. I also have had the occasional hard boils on my face over the years, these I have jabbed with the point of a clean needle then squeezed the junk out of them, once I did this they seemed to go away rapidly also.

How to make Acne – Pimples – Zits invisible or a lot less visible: First of all let me say I am a guy and not a girl, probably the strangest thing in my medicine cabinet is a small body of womans cover-up cream. I use it for hiding any rare pimples, boils, red skin areas or bites I may get on my face or forehead area. If you have fair colored skin, like I do, then you know how much a red sore or pimple stands out, it’s almost like a flashing neon sign saying ‘look at me!’. I found out when I was married, that a little dab of cover-up cream rubbed on the pimple or red spot, makes them almost disappear. Now the hard part is, finding a female to buy a bottle of the stuff for you in the store, so you don’t feel embarassed if your a man like I am, of course when I was married, I bought worse things at times.

There is a website that provides cures, facts and other great information on Acne and numerous medical conditions, the website is called: All About Health, and can be found at this url:

Over the Counter Treatment For Pimple

One of the thing that most people do is applying over the counter pimple treatment product. Most of the product contains benzoyle peroxide which helps breaks up clogged skin pores. These clogged up skin pores are the primary cause of pimple breakout.

The clogged skin pores traps impurities and oil in the skin including bacteria. This provides the perfect condition for pimple to breakout. In your haste to get rid of pimple fast, don’t be tempted to use the highest concentration of benzoyle peroxide in the market, starts from low concentration and gradually work up to higher concentration creams.

Body Detoxification Treatment For Pimple

Pimple breakouts may be a symptom to even bigger problems. Rather than treating the symptoms, you would better off treating the main cause of the problem.

Our body is a like a machine that constantly work to remove impurities from our bodies. Your sweat for example is a means of releasing unwanted chemicals.

Over time, the build up of impurities will exceed the amount of impurities the body able to release from our bodies.

Detoxification is a means of reducing /eliminating the impurities build up in your bodies. By eliminating harmful drinks and foods you may reduce your pimple problems.

The Quick Fix Treatment For Pimple

For those of you that want a quick fix solution to your pimple problem, this may do the trick for you. There are days that you just can’t wait to get your pimple gets all cleared up and you just want results…fast. All you have to do is follow this simple trick.

1. Wash your face with a cleanser that is oil and fragrance free. You’d have to find a non-detergent and with a pH balance label.

2. Get your acne treatment cream and apply on your entire face. Not just where the pimples are. Apply this at night.

3. In the day time, use a concealer or foundation cream on you pimple. Make sure they are the same as you skin color.

Continue this routine until all your blemish goes away.

Getting a pimple can really put unnecessary stress to some of us. These three methods are the most common methods used as treatment for pimple, but they do work.

Please bear in mind that when you have pimple, it usually is an indication of even bigger problems. Rather than spending your effort in treating the symptoms, take time to understand what are the underlying reasons for pimple breakout.
