Acne

Everyone will experience acne. Here is an example of acne on the forehead.

Acne is very common disorder that most young people get in early puberty. It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands (sebaceous glands) that surround the fine hairs on the face and chest. The severity of acne increases and, typically, reaches its peak around the ages of 17 to 19. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their mid-20s; however, very sensitive people may continue to have the disorder until they reach their 43s.

Hormonal changes related to pregnancy or menstrual periods can also cause or contribute to acne. This is also the case with environmental irritants such as pollution, intense heat, humidity or cold.

Acne Pimples Causes

Puberty period, the production of male sex hormones (androgens) increases in both girls and boys, which can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. In some people, the sebaceous glands are extremely sensitive to androgens. These people, mostly men, get acne so severely that they need medical treatment.

The increased production of sebum makes the openings of the sebaceous glands narrower, which prevents the sebum from getting out. Meanwhile, the sebum production continues regardless.

Propionebacterium acnes often cause pimples, a common bacterium on the skin that feeds on sebum. This bacterium produces waste products and fatty acids that irritate the sebaceous glands and make them inflamed.

Acne Pimples worse condition

  • Often in a damp environment with oil, grease and other chemicals.
  • Stress or emotional tension.
  • Squeezing or picking at the pimples.
  • Menstrual periods.
  • Certain medicines and chemicals.
  • Taking healthy food and drinks.

Acne Pimples Home care

Washing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Make sure you wash your skin whenever it becomes sweaty. Do not scrub your face as this will only make your acne worse.

Avoid hairstyles in which the hair is constantly touching your face. Shampoo your hair regularly.

Do not squeeze or pick at the pimples. This makes them worse and may cause scarring.

Avoid exposing your skin to too much cold, heat and sunlight. Sunlight may improve your acne for a while, but it won't cure it. Too much exposure to sunlight can lead to burning and skin cancer.

Use a water-based moisturizer. Greasy or oily creams and foundations block the pores and may cause pimples.

No scientific research has shown that certain foods can cause acne, but if you notice that spots increase after you eat certain things, it makes sense to avoid them, especially the healthy food.

Choose a sensible, varied diet, drink lots of water and exercise regularly.

We recommend

Take orally and apply directly on the affected area Colloidal silver, it's used as a natural antibiotic.

Take garlic capsules, they boost the immune system and kill the bacteria found in acne.

To help the liver eliminate toxins from the blood, take Burdock root and dandelion which contain inulin. This helps to kill bacteria thus improving the skin.

Take the homeopathic remedies Kali bromatum, Sulphur, Antimonium tartaricum, Herpa sulphuris. These help to prevent the formation of pimples or quickly bring them to a head.

Use Lavender oil to apply directly on the acne area.

Put Tea tree oil on the acne affected skin. This is a natural antibiotic. It will destroy a broad range of invading microorganisms, as effectively as benzol peroxide, but without side effects. It reduces redness, itchiness and stinging.
