Best Treatment for Acne

Best Treatment for Acne

There are thousands of acne treatment products claiming to be the best. But actually, there are any number of acne medicines, soaps, creams and gels that could work for you,  though the best acne treatment for one person may be not the solution for someone else. This is because everyone’s skin is different, as is the degree and cause of their acne.

The best acne treatment for you could be an inexpensive, over-the-counter acne medicine with an alpha hydroxy formula, or with salicylic acid. Or you might find that those do nothing, and instead need a more expensive acne treatment program like Proactiv, or a more powerful, doctor-prescribed acne medicine like Accutane. It’s only through trial and error that you’ll find the acne product that works best for you.

You should also consider the possible level of toxicity in the products you choose, which may cause health risks down the line. For this reason, natural remedies are popular as they have a lower risk of complications from their ingredients, and there is a wide variety of natural products on the market. You may find that one of them is the best acne treatment for you.

Finding the perfect acne treatment takes time, and it’s always a smart thing to research any acne treatment product before you buy it. But, no matter what acne solution you do end up choosing, there are factors to consider when researching and deciding on the best acne treatment:

Strong Enough
A lot of products aren’t strong enough to fight acne. Because of the side effects chemicals produce, a lot of acne solutions out there are all natural. While this is a good thing, it also means that some aren’t very strong to knock out tough acne.

Safe Enough
An important factor when considering an acne treatment is the side-effects any treatment has. The perfect solution utilizes all natural ingredients so that it doesn’t upset the body and give off side-effects, but still strong enough to get rid of acne altogether. There are sometimes mild side-effects with any acne treatment like: redness, itchy, mild-dryness, or irritated skin.

Gentle Enough
The final factor to consider is whether the product is gentle enough not to completely dry out your skin. Some acne treatments are very powerful, and you should make sure that the perfect treatment doesn’t contain a huge percentage of any one ingredient; a common powerful one is benzoyl peroxide, known for drying out skin, find an acne treatment that has between 1.5% to 3% of benzoyl peroxide. That will ensure that it won’t dry out your skin too much.

Tips and Treatment for Acne

Treatment for acne is various in kinds. If you have mild acne, then these healthy tips might be a great solution. Here are some dietary treatments for your acne:

Eat Fruits for Breakfast

While you sleep, your body is detoxifying and cleansing out the waste material from previous day. Eating heavy breakfast in the morning forces your body to stop this cleansing process and to start digesting food. Fruits only need very little digestion, so eating fruits in the morning gives your body additional hours to do the detox and repair work.

Replace Grains with Sprouted Grains

Grains (like wheat) are difficult to digest. Eating too many grain products causes constipation, which is directly linked to acne and other skin problems. The best option is to use sprouted grains, since sprouting makes grains much easier to digest.

Avoid Problematic Food Combinations

Avoid eating two concentrated foods (foods that have low water content) at the same meal. Concentrated foods are pretty much anything besides fresh fruits and vegetables.

Different foods require different digestive juices and enzymes. For example, carbohydrates require alkaline digestive juices, while proteins require highly acidic juices. When you eat proteins and carbohydrates at the same meal, alkaline and acid neutralize each other and neither gets digested properly. Food just stays in the stomach for hours. The ever-present bacteria putrefy it and create more toxins and pollutants. As a choice, you can replace one concentrated food with salad or steamed/stir-fried vegetables.

Fruits should always be eaten alone as they move through the stomach very quickly. If you eat them after concentrated foods, fruits can’t move through the stomach, they just stay there and ferment rapidly.

Eat Yoghurt

The probiotic bacteria in yogurt are very important for healthy skin because they improve the immune system and kill bacteria that cause acne and other skin problems. But make sure the yogurt is made of organic milk and is pasteurized before the probiotic bacteria is cultivated. Ask your local health store for recommendations.

Green Smoothies
Green smoothies are fruit smoothies with some green, leafy vegetables blended in. They are loaded with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and other micro-nutrients that your skin requires to be healthy and look young. Always use at least 60% fruits and it taste as good as fruit smoothies do. Here’s a combination you can try: bananas, frozen blueberries and spinach or kale with little water.

And here are some other things you can do:

- You might use medicated concealer stick, apply it just on a zit or two as it flares up.

- Use oil-free make-up.

- Always wash your hands before applying make-up.

- Always remove make-up at night.

- Don’t wash your face excessively. Twice a day with a mild soap is enough. Tea-tree oil washes may also help.

- If your skin is dry, use a non-oily moisturizer.

- A little dab of pure tea-tree oil will help to heal a squeezed pimple.

By eating and living healthy you begin to correct the imbalances and your skin regains the healthy, beautiful glow.
