Home remedy for Acne


Acne treament (naturally at home or otherwise) is the most sough after treatment among the younger generation. Acne is a common and chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The lesions are usually found on the skin of the face, neck, chest and shoulders. Nearly six out of ten young people between the ages of twelve and twenty-four suffer from some degree of acne. The disease causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about their personal appearance.








Acne Vulgaris Symptoms


Comedones, pimples, superficial sebaceous cysts


Acne Vulgaris is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts, and scars. There are over half a dozen types of acne, the most common being blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, chin, chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with acne accompanied by extensive scarring.








Causes of Acne Vulgaris


Acne can be caused due to wrong eating habits and chronic constipation


All types of acne have their origin in wrong eating habits. Irregular hours of eating, excessive starch consumption, too much of sugar, fried and fatty foods are also common causes of acne. Chronic constipation is another cause of acne vulgaris. If the bowels do not move properly, the waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin diseases.





Devitalised condition of skin


Acne is also caused due to a devitalised condition of the skin which is a result of unhygienic living habits, excessive consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco, and sedentary habits, which lead to indigestion and general debility.

steaming... then gently scrubbing the areas with an exfoliating gel available in the market..
well there are many easy ways. a really good way is to buy the neutrogena black head removal stuff and use it every time you wash your face and in the shower. another way to really get them out is.....when you get out of the shower and the water has been really hot, your pores are obviously open. so if you take a bobby pin (or something like it) and scrape across the area that there are black heads this works for me really good. or when your pores have been opened you can get them yourself. its quite easy, but it takes a lot of time and practice! good luck!
ProActive...
Ok, use Either Biore' or Netrougina products for your blackheads, and use Stridex Black Head Killer. It works.
