Tips To Send "away Acne"

Basically acne is inflamation of the skin caused by a sebaceous gland
located at the base of a hair follicle becoming clogged with natural oils
causing a bacterial buidup. This condition may be worse in adolescence but
can happen at any age.

Elevated, inflamed, reddened areas of the skin is one of the symptoms of an
acne sore or pimple as they are called.
Sometimes there are blackheads that become inflamed suggesting the need for
better facial cleansing. Whiteheads on the acne sore is caused by a B1
vitamin deficiency or poor vitamin absorption. To increase the absortion of
vitamins and minerals, a supplement of acidophilus is recommended.

The causes of acne can be many, including: food allergies, soaps, makeup,
soda pop, fried foods, dairy products,chocolate, and even facial cleansers.

So, what can a person do to send away acne and have a more pleasant, smooth
skin? One of the best things to do is to be sure to get your daily
vitamin/mineral requirements; especially the B complex vitamins and vitamin
A/beta-carotene. Also 80 mg of zinc, and an omega-3 fatty acid supplement.
What a person should consider is to take a good vitamin/mineral supplement
with additional supplements of the above vitamins.

Diet is also very important to sending away acne. Several servings daily of
fresh, raw vegetables and fruit will be helpful. Reduce your consumption of
saturated fats and vegetable fats. Reduce consumption of refined sugar,
alcohol, and foods/drinks containing caffiene. Increase the amount of fiber
in your diet as well. If you like vegetable juices then drinking carrot
juice with celery and beet juices is also good for acne.

Facial cleansing is also beneficial to skin care. Using a mild soap and
water wash the face several times a day. Rinse the face with warm water (not
hot) and pat dry. Don't use makeup that has any kind of oil as an
ingredient; use water-based makeup. Soaps that are recommended has the herb
calendula as an ingredient, it helps clean the skin without irritation.

Some herbal remedies for acne are: aloe vera gel taken internally in a
capsule and externally on the skin, a cup of burdock tea-three or four times
daily, and Oregon grape powder
0.5-1 gram daily.

None of these remedies should be considered as medical advice, all of these
suggestions have been gathered from research and is accurate as far as the
author can tell. Hopefully one or more of these suggestions will help you in
your quest for relief of acne and it's symptoms. I had terrible acne as an
adolescent and wish I had at that time known about how to send away acne
with some of these remedies.
