Fight Acne and Win with an Alternative Safe Remedy

By George Alarcon

If you or someone you know suffers from chronic acne breakouts there are many alternative acne products out there that claim to cure your problematic acne, zits and blemishes. However many of them produce little if any results at all. A quick Google search can produce up to 1,500,000 results to choose from. With so many sites out there claiming to have a cure what's the ideal alternative treatment for acne? A recent development in the alternative treatments for acne is showing promising results in the market today. This treatment involves the use of light rays and is commonly called light therapy.

The cause of acne comes from excess oil in the skin that eventually clogs pores. As it deepens, those clogged pores can cause lesions which cause the acne to spread to other parts of the skin, creating a chain effect of bacteria.

Clay masks are great for drawing out the oils. Clay is filled with minerals that open the pores, clean them out, and then shrink the pores. Keeping the skin clean is the primary key. This process is repeated until the skin finds a balance.

Aloe has been used many times for it's healing effects. It provides a soothing and cooling effect to irritated skin. It also helps to heal lesions that can be caused by acne.

Also take a look at your vitamin intake. The wrong foods can cause outbreaks in your skin. Greasy foods, or foods filled with lots of acid are hard for your body to process and cleanse from your system. These foods can cause a surge of insulin which makes your body work harder and therefore creates more waste products. Excess insulin can also cause an increase in male hormones which leads to acne. Healthy foods loaded with B vitamins help to purge free radicals from the body keeping acne clear from your skin. Carrots and foods containing vitamin A are another healthy source of keeping the body clean.

Skin irritation is easily solved by keeping yourself fairly hygienic and not picking at your acne. A shower every day and washing your face gently with soap will work wonders. Picking at your acne may be a great instantaneous cure, but it is so much worse in the long run. Popping zits and especially cysts can cause nasty, unattractive facial scars which may never fade away. I know what it is like to have a big nasty pimple on your face that is so tempting to pop, but if you allow it to go away naturally you will thank yourself in the future.
