Do You Really know the Cause of Your Acne?

Before you get too deep into a cure, do you know why you have acne?
Let’s look at the most common causes of acne :

Hormones – You are young and sixteen and have lots of hormones raging all over the place. Other reasons can be, follicle fallout, bacteria, extra sebum, etc.

You may need to proceed by the process of elimination until you put your finger on the possible cause of your acne. Obviously if you are not sixteen and don’t have any follicle fallout then it can be due to other things, such as bacteria for instance…

Once you have a good idea of the cause of your acne, what do you do?
Any good dermatologist will tell you to start with something simple like drinking more water, 6 to 8 glasses a day. Water will help you get rid of toxins. Water is a natural method of cleansing your body. Drinking more water will bring about clearer skin after a few days.

Do dirt and skin oil have something to do in the formation of acne?
When too much dirt and oil gather on the skin the process of natural elimination will be affected somewhat. The results will be a collection of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc which are the common names for acne.

Can natural acne treatment really provide a way to eliminate acne?
As a matter of fact, natural acne treatment should be the choice #1 but unfortunately, it is not always so. The simple process of exfoliating and washing twice a day will go a long way in getting rid of acne.

By combining washing at least twice a day and exfoliating 3 times a week you will be removing dead skin and slowly getting rid of acne. You can get a natural and gentle exfoliant by mixing two tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Acne is caused by bacteria therefore we have to eliminate the bacteria…
In theory if you get rid of bacteria, you should henceforth get rid of acne. You can use an antibacterial soap for the body but you have to be careful about your face. The essential oil tea tree has antibacterial qualities. Add a few drop into a cottonball then dab into the face.

What is your acne is the result of bad hygiene?

We have already said that acne, that is pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc. are caused by bacteria therefore keeping yourself clean is of the utmost importance.

Washing your face at least twice a day with a mild natural homemade antibacterial solution and exfoliating two to three times a week. By washing regularly and bathing at least once a day your chances of developing acne will be reduced and you will feel better about yourself. Imagine the confidence you will gain by knowing that you are acne free!
