Treating and Even Preventing Acne the Natural Way

If you can start a healthy and natural way of life even before you hit the teen years, this will go a long way to preventing acne outbreaks both as a teenager or a young adult. When the hormones start kicking in, you will have a head start. It is so worth it when you think of all the angst that can accompany acne and the fact that acne affects close to 100% of all teens and 20% of young adults in the USA.

Although there is not much you can do about your hormones, there is a lot you can do about a regular routine for keeping your skin clean to help reduce latent bacteria which tends to lurk there.

Gently wash the skin with warm water and a soft soap or natural cleanser at least twice a day if not more. This will discard any extra sebum on the skin’s surface as well as the dead skin cells and debris that can accumulate. Ensure you remove all your make-up very gently. If you have a job where you might be in contact with oil, or if you exercise or play sport, wash your face even more frequently. If you wear make-up or sunscreen, check the labels very carefully. These should read “noncomedogenic” or “nonacnegenic”. All make-up should be water-based. If you use hair sprays or gels, make sure you keep them well away from your face and if you have long hair or a fringe, wash it frequently so there is no oil build-up that can get on to your face.

A healthy and more natural way of life will include drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water daily; taking plenty of vitamins A, C and E as well as Zinc; including lots of leafy vegetables and fresh fruit in your diet; ditching the processed foods, the sodas, artificial sweeteners and cutting down on sugar.
