The vast majority of people have been affected by acne at some point in their lives. For most, acne is experienced during the most sensitive time of our lives – during puberty. Research has shown that nearly eighty percent of all people have been affected sometime in their lives between the ages of thirteen and twenty five.
What are the Real Causes?
One of the largest reasons that so many people suffer from acne is the lack of knowledge available on how to deal with this skin condition. Since there are many causes such as oily skin, genetics and hormones, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact causes or know how to deal with them. Luckily, this can be changed provided you have the right knowledge and use it to get your acne under control.
A good suggestion is to take advantage of some of the natural plants and herbs that are known to help treat acne. Unfortunately, these are not highlighted by the media and as such you may have never heard of them used as acne treatment. One example would be to use a combination of dandelion and chaparral as well as yellow dock root to create a poultice that not only helps to reduce the inflammation, as well as the pain caused by severe acne .
Some of these natural herbs can also be used to treat your skin by using them to create a steam sauna for your face. Some examples of these herbs include lavender, red clover as well as strawberry leaves, which happen to be some of the most effective at combating acne. Also, you can wash the affected areas with lemon juice at least three times per day to help keep your skin free from oil and dirt.
Proper nutrition also plays a significant role in controlling acne. This means that you should be consuming the proper amount of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, and make sure to get all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. You can also benefit from including nutritional supplements such as chromium, Lecithin, Primrose and unsaturated fatty acids in your diet.
If you make sure to follow a good skin cleaning regimen, take advantage of natures ability to get rid of acne, and make sure that you eat healthy foods, you will be able to control acne without having to use expensive chemical laden skin care products.
