Things you can control to keep your acne in check

 Simple Suggestions for Healthy-Skin Hygiene

Advice and suggestions for the acne suffer.

Acne Hygiene

One of the most common misconceptions about acne is that it's caused by dirt. It's not! Acne is caused by a combination of factors you can't control, like your hormone balance and the natural pace of your skin's renewal system. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can control that may help you keep your acne in check. Begin by following these simple suggestions for healthy-skin hygiene.

Acne Prevention - Tip #1: Don't over-wash. Since dirt is not causing your acne, excessive scrubbing and washing won't make it go away. Try to limit yourself to two washings per day — anything more than that can leave your healthy skin dry, and your acne-prone areas irritated. Habitual over-washing may also stimulate extra oil production, which could result in more breakouts.  

Acne Prevention - Tip #2: Skip harsh scrubs. It's okay to exfoliate, but be sure to use a gentle formula with small, smooth grains. Avoid products with almond or apricot shell fragments; they can irritate or even tear your skin and further aggravate your acne.  

Acne Prevention - Tip #3: Say no to alcohol. If you use a toner, avoid products with high concentrations of isopropyl alcohol, or common rubbing alcohol. A strong astringent, alcohol strips the top layer of your skin, causing your sebaceous glands to produce more oil. The result? Dry, red skin — and possibly more blemishes. 

Acne Prevention - Tip #4: Don't squeeze or pick. Squeezing or picking your blemishes — with fingernails, pins or anything else — can force bacteria deeper into the skin, causing greater inflammation and infection. You'll also increase the damage to the surrounding skin, so the blemish is more likely to leave a permanent acne scar.  

Acne Prevention - Tip #5: Hands off! Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria that causes breakouts) is a normal resident of your skin; it doesn't lead to acne until it gets trapped inside the hair follicle. Excessive touching of your face, including rubbing or even resting your chin in your hands, can drive bacteria into your pores — where it can begin its dirty work.  

Acne Prevention - Tip #6: Work out, wash off. When you exercise, your movement generates heat; clothing and equipment cause friction. Until you shower off, heat and moisture are trapped against your skin, creating an ideal breeding ground for the spread of bacteria. So whenever you can, shower off immediately after exercising.  

Acne Prevention Treatment - Find a regimen and stick with it. Most cases of mild acne can be improved with "over-the-counter" products, or products that don't require a prescription from your doctor. There is a wide range of treatments available, and there’s a good chance one of them will work for you. If you start treatment before your acne gets severe, you’ll have a better chance of avoiding physical and emotional problems down the road. But if your acne gets worse or lasts more than a couple of weeks, see a dermatologist. Here's a quick listing of the most common products used to treat acne — click on the links that interest you for more information on that course of acne treatment.

Control Acne Step by Step

Step by Step Natural Acne Control

"Acne, a common problem in teenagers, results from a combination of hormone stimulation, production of irritating fatty acids by certain bacteria, stress, and poor diet. acne vulgaris (the medical name) is tied to an overproduction of the oil in the sebaceous glands of the skin. More water intake, eliminating fried foods and hydrogenated fats from the diet, and taking extra vitamin A and zinc will often reduce acne outbreaks."

Replacing Sugar - Stop Acne Step by Step

So the question is, what do we replace sugar with? The answer is what is known as Super-foods or sometimes they are called Greens Drinks. What are these super-foods? They are nutritional supplements that come in powdered form and have a distinct green color. This is due to their contents. Most super-foods have a mix of ingredients. Here are some common ones: Chlorella, Spirulina, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass. For a great report on the health benefits of Chlorella and Spirulina click here.

Most super-food supplements also contain many other ingredients which increase antioxidant levels. I have found that these products almost entirely eliminate cravings for sugar and give your body vital nutrients which help rejuvenate extraordinarily well.

The only problem is that there are massive numbers of super-greens products out there, and a lot of them making a lot of claims. This wouldn't be so bad if the taste of most of these products wasn't terrible. I was shocked at how bad some of the products I tried tasted. They were so bad that there was no way I was going to take them every day. That can make it pretty hard to decide which ones to buy. There are 3 products I have found that work very well out of maybe a dozen. The names of the products are Earth's Promise, Miracle Greens, and Berry Green.

Earth's Promise

Earth's promise is the #1 introductory product for someone just starting with super-foods. The taste of this product is absolutely outstanding. It is by far the best tasting of any super-greens product. This is very important. I started with one of the worst tasting super-foods there is and almost never took any super-food again. If you start with this product you will be convinced. I recommend the Strawberry-Kiwi flavor. Start taking it first thing in the morning. You can also take it again later in the day. The problem with this product is that it has the least amount of the beneficial ingredients in it.

HGH Energizer Supplement

Recent studies suggest that HGH plays an important role in multiple body functions. By the time you reach 60, your natural production of HGH is most likely to be half of what it was when you were 20. This means that you will may experience less energy, more body fat, and have a weaker immune system. HGH Energizers Health supplement provides nutrients that may be lacking due to the strain that is often put on the body's health. Each serving provides important nutrients to support your overall health and vitality.

Miracle Greens

I recently started using this product and have found it be excellent. It is the best all purpose super-foods product in my opinion. The taste is good. Miracle Greens recommends mixing it with juice, which does make it taste great. However, the sugar boost for doing this is not acceptable for our purposes. I prefer not to mix it with juice but with Stevia instead. More on that at the end of this section. This product has a fantastic ingredient list of organic foods. It contains not only what are traditionally referred to as super-foods, but extras like Aloe Vera, Lecithin, and Licorice Root Powder, all things that are great to be supplementing with, but that you wouldn't buy on their own. I highly recommend this product. I take at least 2 servings daily. I recommend you take at least one.

Berry Green

Berry Green is a fairly "old" super-foods product. It was one of the first of this type of product to come out. I really like this product as well and nothing matches it in its category. It does not contain the normal barley grass and chlorella and spirluna like most super-food products. Rather, it contains Spinach, Blueberry, Kale, Cranberry, Cabbage and more (All Organic too!). This product teamed up with the other two gives a super selection of super-food supplementation (Alliteration? :).

I put these three products in the order in which you should purchase them. Start with the Earth's promise. Then move to Miracle Greens and finally add Berry Green. I believe the ideal way to take these types of products is to essentially "overdose" (which isn't really possible, these are foods, not vitamins).

Start taking Earth's promise just in the morning. Then start taking it twice a day. Then add Miracle Greens to your afternoon drink. Then add Miracle Greens to your breakfast drink. Finally, add Berry Green to your afternoon drink. If you weigh closer to 200 pounds I wouldn't hesitate taking 2 servings of Earth's Promise, 3 servings of Miracle Greens, and 2 servings of Berry Green every day.

When you add the Earth's Promise to any of these drinks the taste will be very enjoyable. If you are use to sugary things you might want to get some Stevia to have it taste even more sweet. One final suggestion I have for taking these products is to buy some stevia and add a little bit to each drink. This will turn the drinks from tolerable into a very enjoyable experience. I used stevia for a while to get used to the taste, but no longer use it. I find the taste of them very enjoyable by themselves. So if you are short of money, try them without the stevia first. You can get stevia anywhere and it is all essentially the same from what I have seen. Still, I know people want a recommendation and so I recommend Herbal Advantage. Make sure you get the "Stevia White Extract Powder." 1/4 pound should last for a couple years.

Fats - Oils - and Acne

The next topic of diet I want to discuss with you is fats and oils. Lately there has been a vast amount of attention placed on "good fats" and "bad fats" as well as Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 balancing. Some people say to eliminate fat completely, others say to eat it in abundance as long as it is "good fat."

However, the problem with all this discussion is that it does not address the core problem that Western peoples are having with fats. Before we can even talk about the proper Omega ratios, we  have to talk about hydrogenated oils. Sugar and hydrogenated oils compete for the top spot in the extremely toxic ingredients that are in almost all foods.

"Acne, a common problem in teenagers, results from a combination of hormone stimulation, production of irritating fatty acids by certain bacteria, stress, and poor diet. acne vulgaris (the medical name) is tied to an overproduction of the oil in the sebaceous glands of the skin. More water intake, eliminating fried foods and hydrogenated fats from the diet, and taking extra vitamin A and zinc will often reduce acne outbreaks."

What exactly are hydrogenated oils?

Hydrogenated oils are made (as how the name might suggest) by bubbling hydrogen through a cheap vegetable oil, often soybean. This changes the nature of the oil so that it is no longer liquid at room temperature, but solid. It gives a creamy consistency to foods. What is so bad about hydrogenated oils? I could discuss the health effects for pages, but I will only focus on two.

1. Hydrogenated oils are brain poison. Studies are showing that after eating hydrogenated oils, brain activity decreases.

2. Hydrogenated oils inhibit the absorption of good, healthy oils.

What exactly does this mean? It means that a diet high in hydrogenated oils prevents your body from absorbing healthy oils.

Let's say for breakfast you have some of those "tarts that pop" (You know, the ones that go in the toaster and all kids love?)

Then, for lunch you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with crackers or chips. There is 3 sources of hydrogenated oils (tarts, peanut butter, and crackers).

Then for dinner you have something healthy - fish and vegetables. So you end the day thinking you ate so healthy.

Wrong.

The good oils in the fish were not absorbed. The hydrogenated oils had filled up your body's capacity for storing fats, and so the good fats of the hydrogenated oils are wasted. What happens is the body tries to use the hydrogenated oils. It thinks they are real fats and it tries to make do with what it is given.

When you eat good fats, the hydrogenated oils are not immediately replaced with the good fats. It takes a few days of not eating hydrogenated oils to get a single serving out of your system.

I think at this point a single serving of hydrogenated oils takes about 24 hours for my body to remove. How do I know this? When you get to a certain level of health you will really start feeling the detrimental effects of toxins in your diet. I get a headache right after eating hydrogenated oils and by the next morning it is gone.

Now, if you have been eating hydrogenated oils every day for most of your life then it is going to take a lot longer than 24 hours for all hydrogenated oils to leave your body. It is a cumulative effect.

You cannot undo decades of wrong eating in 24 hours, however much we would like to do so. Isn't it great that it only takes a few months to completely remove the poison rather than the number of days we have eaten them? You can remove 15-25 years of poisoning in a few months - be thankful for that!

Of course, if you eat hydrogenated oils at any point you will slow down the process. Become familiar with what products contain hydrogenated oils at the grocery store. Basically anything in a package contains it. Sure eliminates a lot of rows of the grocery store doesn't it? At least your shopping trips won't take as long anymore!

Fortunately, this is a required ingredient to list on the packages of all foods. If you see a food that has the word "hydrogenated" in it - Run!

Next time we will take a look at what to replace hydrogenated oils with - you can't just eliminate hydrogenated oils from your diet and not replace them with anything! These critical replacement fats are extremely important to improving acne! Stay tuned...

Acne remedies what's right for you?

Acne remedies are those that are natural.

As a matter of fact, most of these acne solutions are full of natural ingredients, like avocado or tea tree oil, so even though they are indeed manufactured, they are still considered natural remedies for acne.

Every acne problem can be treated, so don't worry - before you try acne products always be cautious. You should consult with your dermatologist before you use one to avoid adding insult to injury, figuratively speaking many of the pharmacies products contain chemicals that may harm your skin. 

If you read the articles in this blog you will find different home remedies choose the one you consider is good to try, give it time to work in you skin. Usual all works, but it depends in how clean your inner system are.

 Aloe vera has been used for sometime now in combating acne, and it's one of the most popular acne remedies that you should seek. With its medicinal qualities, aloe vera has a lot of good nutrients that can do wonders especially for your skin. But then again, you should get confirmation from a professional skin expert since your skin may or may not agree with these acne solutions.

No More Acne | Acne and Zinc

Acne and Zinc

Zinc - also known as spelter, is a metallic chemical element, it has the symbol Zn and atomic number 30.

How Zinc Helps with Acne?

By boosting your immune system and regulating your hormone production Zinc will help your body to fight acne.  

Remember, that zinc does not act independently. Zinc will only be effective at normalizing hormone production and normalizing skin oil.

Forms of Zinc

1.- zinc oxide,

2.- zinc gluconate, 

3.- zinc picolinate, 

4.- zinc acetate, 

5.- zinc sulfate and 

6.- zinc monothionine.

Be aware of zinc inhibitors and avoid them

It is know that zinc inhibits copper absorption. Since a copper deficiency is undesirable and can lead to other health problems, it is necessary to increase your daily copper intake if your
are supplementing with zinc. A good multi-vitamin will take care of that.

Try to get your Zinc from foods

Zinc is found in foods such as egg yolks, fish, legumes, soy lecithin, sunflower seeds, and whole grains. You should always try to get your nutrition from foods, but here's the rub...

Zinc is a mineral (not a vitamin). And foods will only have as much zinc in them as they soil they were grown in had. And conventional farming methods use fertilizers that do NOT contain zinc. As a result most foods have little to no zinc. The same goes for animal food sources of zinc. The resultant food will only have as much zinc as the diet of the animal had.

It's pretty hard to get it from your diet alone these days. It's a very common deficiency.

Since it's such a key mineral for acne sufferers, and pretty inexpensive, this is definitely one of the minerals I would suggest you consider supplementing with.

There are only 2 forms of zinc that consistently work for zinc acne treatment...EVERY other form of supplemental zinc did not work.  

These 2 forms are:

Zinc gluconate and Zinc Monomethionine (otherwise known as Opti-Zinc).

And of the 2 I strongly favor Opti-Zinc (Zinc Monomethionine). Don't waste your time with any other form of zinc.

No More Acne | Acne or acne vulgaris...... Why?

Acne or acne vulgaris.... Why?

Why am I have pimples, blackheads or whiteheads in my face?

That is the result of stress, hormonal imbalances, poor diet and excess waste in your body which often lead to pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.
 
Why Specialized products for different acne care needs?

To have a problem free skin, you need to have a good supply of nutrients, oxygen and removal of metabolic wastes.
 
Prevent acne from the inside with these foods:. Organic green tea. - this is rich in an anti-inflammatory chemical called catechins, which helps to combat free radicals and prevent fine lines. - good monounsaturated fats like olive or sesame oil contain essential fatty acids that are needed for good health.
