There are a great many articles explaining medical ways to cure acne, but there are a number of natural ways to cure acne too. But first, let's look at the causes of acne.
Regardless of what people say causes acne, the main culprit is plain old bacteria, specifically propionibacterium acnes, an organism which is meant to live on the surface of human skin. It eats sebum (hair follicle oil) in order to grow, which is why there is an upsurge in this type of bacteria during adolescence, thus producing the tell-tale signs of puberty known as acne and/or pimples.
Since your immune system tends to fight against bacterial growth, it sends white blood cells to the area where an unusually large amount of propionibacterium acnes is accumulating which, in turn, creates enzymes that harm the inside of the follicle. This inflammatory response will cause matter from the follicle to push upward into the outer skin layer, or dermis, thus causing an outbreak of acne.
Although you might think you cannot prevent an acne eruption from occurring, there are some actions you can take, which may indeed benefit your skin and what happens beneath it to cause acne. Don't expect overnight results. However, since acne is one of the hardest skin problems to combat and eliminate, but with the regular use of a variety of anti-acne techniques, you could see improvements within several weeks.
We mentioned earlier how there are many natural ways to cure acne. What you eat has a lot to do with your health and the overall condition of your skin. Making sure that you are ingesting the proper nutrients which contribute to the healthy skin means including a proper amount of chromium-3 to your diet.
Chromium-3 can be found in sweet potatoes, apples, tomatoes, broccoli and corn on the cob, and aids in preventing cardiovascular disease, controls levels of blood sugar, and maintains the production of beneficial fats, cholesterol and protein by influencing insulin creation. It has also been found to facilitate healing of skin infections, such as acne. One chromium-3 tablet taken daily may cause your acne to lessen, along with contributing other valuable nutritional properties to the human body.
Carrots contain beta-carotene, more commonly known as Vitamin A, which reinforces the outer protective layer of the skin and helps in preventing acne eruptions from occurring by decreasing the amount of sebum produced by the oil glands. In addition, Vitamin A acts as a potent antioxidant which eliminates toxins within the body. It is also possible that not having enough Vitamin A in your system may actually promote the production of acne.
Although some women who are suffering from acne are tempted to cover the blemishes with make-up, it is actually a good idea to resist applying make-up to skin that is already inflamed and irritated. The chemicals found in most liquid cosmetics will only clog the pores even more, which only exacerbates acne flare-ups. In addition, since people with acne have unusually oily skin, it only makes sense to launder your pillow case daily in order to prevent excess oil from laying against your face for eight hours or more.
Drinking a lot of water-up to eight glasses a day-is another great way to lessen oil production and rid your system of toxins, which might impede follicles. You can also get water from eating fruits and vegetable such as watermelon and cucumbers, which will further contribute to your overall health. However, remember that acne cannot be "cured" in a few days, so you must stick with a certain regiment for a while before results will be visible.
Obviously, it's possible that you may want to explore other natural ways to cure acne.
With that in mind, I've created a free report that details how to cure acne using 10 secret tips that the doctors didn't tell you. In this guide, you will learn many more methods of curing your acne from within, not just by treating the skin, but by ensuring that your whole body has the tools it needs to get rid of your acne for good.
