How to Get Rid of Acne

Acne is one of the most widespread skin problems in the world and 50% of people have returning acne at different periods of their life. Acne can be rather small, harmless and almost invisible or huge and causing bad pain. What does it depend on? First of all, regular skin care matters. Almost 40% of acne occurs because of insufficient or wrong skin care. Ask your doctor what you have to do to prevent acne or read the articles on this site. Hormonal imbalance or genetic factors also occupy a high position on the list of acne causes. Harmful working conditions or a dusty, stuffed flat also increase the risk of acne.

How to make acne treatment more effective? You know that it’s easier to prevent than to cure, so try to prevent the appearance of acne. If untreated or treated wrong, acne can lead to acne scars, which require a surgery or a long and expensive treatment in most cases, so start to apply cream or lotions acne as soon as you notice them. Don’t squeeze acne, go to a beauty parlor and have your acne removed by a professional.

Drink multivitamins to support your immune system and to speed up the recovery. Omega3 also helps to improve skin condition and prevents problems with heart and blood vessels. Have a deep skin cleansing at least once in 2 weeks and a regular one – 1-2-3 times in a week (depends on the type of skin). Don’t touch your skin with dirty hands! Use a moistening cream even if you have oily skin. Regular skin care 2 times a day must include 2 obligatory steps:

1. Cleansing
2. Moisturizing

Exfoliating must be added 1-3 times a week, as dead cells of skin must be removed to allow the skin “breathe” and so that the skin pores were not filled with gleet and dead cells (this is how acne start).

Natural acne treatment has a bunch of undeniable advantages, as it doesn’t harm our body and helps to heal other minor problems with health, such as skin irritation or edema. But natural acne treatment cannot help in case of severe acne, and obligatory prescribed meds are necessary. Why?

In case of severe acne, general intoxication of the body leads to huge inflamed spots on the skin. Some pimples (a type of acne, with a lot of pus inside) can reach the size of a golf ball! Most of them need an urgent anti-bacterial treatment including a course of antibiotics and histamines. It’s important to treat acne from the very beginning and to pay attention to regular skin care if you are prone to acne, especially pimples, as returning acne lead to the weakening of the immune system and this, in its turn, precipitates new acne. A vicious circle, isn’t it?

Natural acne treatments can be used even in case of severe acne as a part of treatment. You can use a chamomile or an oak bark tea to cleanse the skin and diminish the irritation, as these natural treatments have a strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory power. You are advised to have 1-3 spoonfuls of honey with warm (not hot!) tea or water 2-3 times a day. Don’t do it if you are allergic to honey! Honey helps to strengthen the immune system, provides the body with a rich complex of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Lemon and oat masks have both cleansing and nutritional properties, but don’t use lemon juice if you have skin irritation. Immediately consult your doctor if you notice patches of dry skin, big inflamed spots or new massive cases of acne.
