Dealing with Acne Spots and Skin Break Outs
BookRix GmbH & Co. KG81371 MunichFoods That Cause Acne
Acne can hit at any time, any age, and any race. So what foods cause acne and what are the vitamins that help acne?
First lets dismiss the myth that chocolate causes acne, so if you take chocolate out of your diet your acne will disappear. If it was only that easy. There are actually many myths about what causes acne, including poor hygiene, chocolate, and a bad diet. Neither diet nor hygiene actually causes acne.
In the past it was felt that diet played a large role in contributing to acne. It was believed chocolate and sweets were directly tied to acne, as were greasy foods like French fries. Ah ha, so that’s why all the teens run around with pimples on their face.
Sorry, not true. More recent studies have shown that in general these foods do not cause acne. In some individuals they may be contributing factors but they are not the direct reason for acne outbreaks.
Just because a lousy diet isn’t directly related to getting acne, doesn’t mean you're off the hook. Eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water, combined with good skin care and regular exercise, have been proven to help acne.
Hormones have been shown to play a direct role in acne. That is why we see more acne in teens than any other age group. Their hormones are out of control at this age.
Heat can also contribute to acne. When you sweat, the sebaceous glands are stimulated to release more sebum, which can cause you to break out.
Tight clothing, headbands, and even bra straps can cause an acne outbreak. That’s because the friction or constant rubbing irritate the skin causing it to dry out. When it dries out it produces more sebum and you get pimples.
A poor diet might not directly cause acne but it sure won’t help it either. Junk food and greasy food don’t contain a lot of the vitamins and nutrients needed to produce healthy skin.
Greasy finger foods are bad because you handle them and then rub or touch your face, transferring the oil to the skin, causing a clogged pore and then a zit.
Some people will notice a mild outbreak after eating certain foods, although this is extremely rare. If this does occur you should discontinue eating that particular food.
Eat healthy, drink plenty of water, exercise, and take care of your skin. These four elements can never hurt you, but they can benefit your entire body and reduce the amount of acne break outs you experience.
Skin Cleansers and Skin Cells
Most of us, male or female, are fairly diligent about using a cleanser to clean our skin. So how do these cleansers affect our skin cells? Good news! Cleansers will help prevent acne, clear up acne, and improve poor skin.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body, yet it seems to be the one we most neglect. It gets exposed to the elements all day long, yet we seem to spend the least amount of time keeping it healthy. The minute you begin taking care of your skin by proper cleansing and nourishment, it will thank you by providing a healthy glow that will make you look younger and feel great. Properly cared for skin is also less prone to acne breakouts because you are keeping the pores clean.
To find a good cleanser you will need to determine your skin type. Then choose a cleanser that is right for your skin type. You may have to try a few different products until you find one that your skin responds well to. Initially it is best to purchase the smallest quantity you can, in case you need to need to choose a different cleanser you. Once you find that product, don’t change. By the way, soap is not considered a cleanser, at least not for your face.
True cleansers contain oil, water, and surfactants. The oil dissolves oil on your face, the surfactants dissolve and remove makeup, dirt, and pollutants. The trick is to find a cleanser that has the right amount of oil for your skin type. Too much oil will cause your pores to become plugged and could result in an acne breakout. Too little oil can cause dry itchy patches.
Most cleansers have clear labeling, listing the ingredients in detail. So read before you buy, then you will be better able to choose a good match for your skin type. There are many good products on the market for every skin type. If you are unsure about the product best suited to your skin, speak to a cosmetologist.
Use your cleanser both morning and evening. If you’ve done a proper cleanse in the evening you will only need a quick cleanser wash in the morning. Your evening cleanse is the most important!
You should never go to bed without washing your face. This is especially critical for women who wear makeup. Makeup will clog pores and cause acne. You’ve worked so hard to prevent acne, so why take the chance?
You only need a small amount of cleanser to clean the entire face – a dab about the size of a dime will do. Mix with warm water and apply in gentle circular motions. This will lift and remove all the debris on your skin and unclog pores. When you have finished cleansing rinse with warm water.
Put your skin on the top of the priority list. Take good care of it and it will reward you with years of beautiful, younger looking skin!
The Tea Tree Oil Treatment
If you suffer from acne and are tired of trying product after product with little to no success, it’s time to try a tea tree oil acne treatment. This is one of the best natural acne remedies on the market.
Tea tree has actually been used by centuries by the Australian aborigines to treat skin infections, so this really only takes it to treating a different type of skin infection, and acne is just that.
Recent studies have shown that mild to severe acne will respond to tea tree. That’s because tea tree is a natural antibacterial with excellent skin healing properties. This makes tea tree oil acne treatment a treatment worth considering.
One Australian study used a gel that contained 5% tea tree oil as well as a 5% benzoyl peroxide, which is commonly used in acne treatments. The effectiveness of both was very comparable. The only difference was tea tree worked slower; however, it also created less dryness, redness, scaling, and itching than the benzoyl peroxide acne gel.
Tea tree oil is used to treat many things such as treat bad breath, athlete’s foot, body odor, and cold sores. It has been proven to effectively kill acne bacteria when it is topically applied.
Because of it’s anti-bacterial qualities it can reduce symptoms of skin that is inflamed with acne bacteria. However, tea tree is very potent so you need to be cautious if you have sensitive skin. If you find your skin irritated by it you can dilute it with water. When starting to use tea tree acne treatment you should always do a patch test.
