Acne Treatment

Everybody has suffered from acne in a period of their life. A vexing pimple appears on your face just before an important meeting, and there’s no way to get rid of it – it will be there at least ten days, and after it disappears, a new one will show up.

Nowadays not only teenagers have problems with acne but people from all ages. There are a lot of causes. For young people, the main reason for acne is the hormones, but the inappropriate care for your skin does much too. The acne is not an isolated ailment - it affects the whole organism. The bacteria and toxin from the acne enters the blood and lymph and thus they spread along the whole body. If your acne is mainly around the chin and the mouth, then you have hormonal problems. Large number of pimples on the cheeks shows that there’s something wrong with your intestines.

If a young person has acne in small amount, it will fade away with time. It’s enough to take care for your skin in this period, to clean it carefully with appropriate lotions and to use anti-acne creams. For more effective acne treatment a beauty parlour should be visited. Removal of comedones will decrease the occlusion of the pores and the growing of pimples. Cleaning the acne and comedones on your own is not recommended because the infection may be carried about the whole body. If one combines the right professional cosmetic products with appropriate care at home, excellent results can be achieved. Oil-in-water creams as well as lotions containing great amount of alcohol should not be used, because they irritate and dehydrate the skin.

If people of mature years are suffering from acne, this shows a disorder of the endocrine system. Therefore a physician should be visited for a correct diagnose.

The proper diet is very important for the acne treatment. Group of American scientist have compared the nutritive habits of teenagers from different countries. They have found out that young people from South America and the islands around Australia have no acne in contrast to their coevals from the USA and Europe. The reason is not only in the genetic predisposition but also in the way of feeding – in this countries are used chiefly natural products and there are almost no semi-cooked foods. People, who emigrate in more developed countries, obtain acne in the moment they start eating in the west manner.

And what is the secret? When taking very fast-soluble saccharose as this in the rise, the biscuits and the white bread, a fast production of insulin, which must deal with the received nutrients, starts. Then begins a complex process of releasing various hormones and enzymes, which leads to increased deposition of lipids in the cells. Thus they become more pliant to infections and so acne appears.

Depending on the results of this research, we should stick to a healthy diet, where the white bread is replaced by a wholemeal, the wafers and biscuits are cut down to minimal amounts and the vegetables and fruits are a main part of your menu.
