7 WAYS TO CONTROL YOUR ACNE NATURALLY

I have been absent for a while but i am back (hopefully for good). So here is a really cool article on how to prevent your acne naturally, hope you enjoy it.

Acne, a common skin disease affects a lot of people and is mostly seen on those that are in their adolescent stage but it can also be seen in some adults. Acne is caused by changes in the pilosebacous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland.

Trapped oil called sebum inside your pores can cause acne to appear. Once sebum accumulates, bacteria will start to grow causing the familiar swelling which is what we all know to be whitehead, blackhead or pimple.

You can achieve an acne free skin naturally using different methods, however you should know that what might work for someone might not work for you (though there are some of the ways that work for everyone). So you have to find one that works for you and use regularly. Here are 7 ways that you can use. They are so effective if followed properly and continuously. They include :

1. Eat Right: It may have never been scientifically proven that eating fatty foods contribute to the development of acne, some people however say that fatty foods do cause them to flare up (I happen to be one of them). Eating healthy is well known to cleanse and detoxify our body leaving us with a healthy glowing skin, so why don’t you?

2. Drink lots of Water: Water cleanses our body by flushing out toxins and excess oil. It hydrates the skin thereby allowing us to have beautiful skin.

3. Pineapple juice: This has the same use as water, it also helps flush out harmful toxins and sebum from the body. A daily dose of pineapple juice will have a significant effect in your health as a whole. It contains Vitamin C which is known to improve our immune system. It has however come to my notice that some people have some bad reaction to pineapple, for such people it is advisable that they take other fruits that have lots of Vitamin C and also water in them.

4. Use Lemon Juice as an astringent: You can cleanse your face with lemon juice regularly; it will help remove excess oil that may potentially be trapped inside your pores. This can serve as your exfoliating cleanser.

5. Drink Tea: Tea is well known for its anti-oxidant properties, most especially the chamomile and red tea. Now I know why the Chinese have beautiful skin.

6. Eat Fruits and Vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are known to have fiber and anti-oxidant contents. So add them to your diet as they will not only help in cleansing your body, it will also provide that radiant glow to your skin (just what we all want).

7. Sleep: It is good for you. It has been said that 7 hours of sleep would do wonders for your skin and physical well being. Having a healthy, well-rested body helps to build a strong immune system which not only helps you prevent acne but fights infection. So sleep well.

Most acne sufferers know that having an acne attack can do a lot of damage to a person's confidence, especially in the adolescence stage where in a person is just starting to build his/her own personality. It also not very funny for an adult that has been besieged by acne.

It is never easy to deal with people that would tease you because of your condition, it might be just a joke for them but it does have an effect on a person's level of confidence.
