Do you know what the largest organ in your body is? It’s your skin! Your skin is a living, breathing organ that serves many functions. It’s helps to eliminate toxins (one of the main factors that contributes to acne!), it also regulates your body temperature (that’s why you sweat–air conditioning!), and it protects you from harmful invaders.
If you give your skin what it needs instead of chemicalizing it and beating it into submission, you’ll see rapid and lasting improvement. You’ll look youthful and sexy and people will notice how good you look.
On the other hand, by constantly doing the following, you are weakening the natural protecting capabilities of your skin, you are slowing the healing process of your skin, and are making your skin look bad and making your acne worse:
Smoking. Smoking causes heart disease, cancer and the thinning of your skin. Your skin has to have blood flow to cleanse the toxins that cause acne. smoking will reduce your physical activity (exercise) which you need in order to be healthy and fit. In many ways, smoking CAUSES acne!
TOPICAL STEROIDS: OTC and prescription cortisone creams can be very potent and they can also cause thinning of your skin. They can cause redness and irritation , and other side effects. Cortisone creams address the some of the SYMPTOMS of acne but they do nothing to help with the CAUSES of acne. Just like taking an antacid does nothing to change the spicy food in your stomach, cortisones can mask symptoms instead of eliminating the causes. Try a natural substance like diluted tea tree oil, instead.
Antibiotics: Antibiotic treatments like tetracycline can aggravate acne and also damage your internal “flora” as well. Antibiotics destroy all the bacteria in your system including the good, probiotic bacteria like acidophilus that have many important characteristics that promote clear skin. The “good bacteria” that live inside your digestive tract protect you from parasites and fungi. They can also stress and damage your liver, one of the most important organs responsible for the healing of your skin.
FOUR-IN-ONE-RAZOR BLADES: Think about it: if your razor has four blades, you may be subjecting your skin to torture. Any shaving can irritate cysts and bumps. Four-in-ones can do it much faster! Give your skin a break–use a single blade cartridge when you have an active outbreak.
Four-in-Ones can cause permanent scarring if used improperly. If you have bumps, scabs (from squeezing), or cysts, use a single-blade cartridge.
PICKING, POPPING, AND SQUEEZING: In a word, DON’T! While it may be gratifying (like “popping” your knuckles) it will make your acne worse. You run the risk of pushing the pus deeper into the pore and prolonging your acne which will aggravate and prolong your condition. Squeezing zits can also lead to permanent scarring. You have to ask yourself, “do I want to get rid of this whitehead right now, or do I want to have a scar on my face for the rest of my life?” sometimes, it’s not an easy decision to make.
EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF VITAMIN A: Vitamin A from natural sources (green leafy vegetables and beta carotene fruit and veggies) and in small quantities can significantly enhance the healing process of your skin but when taken excessively it can seriously damage your liver and cause severe health problems and side effects.
STEROID CREAMS FOR ROSACEA. It’s just common sense that you should avoid using preparations that cause redness and swelling on rosacea. Always consult a skin-care professional before using steroid creams on rosacea.
Acne sufferers often bear their symptoms on the most visible parts of their bodies, the face, chest, and back. It can be an enormous emotional burden. Luckily, lifestyle changes can eliminate most acne outbreaks. TV commercials would have you think that all you need is the latest portion or pill. In reality, acne is a symptom of a lifestyle problem. Take it as a wake-up call so you can address the underlying causes of acne so you can be rid of it forever!
