Acne Home Remedies that We May not Like 0

Jun12

With so many natural acne remedies and acne solutions on the market it is difficult to know what works best. We all have different reasons why we experience breakouts. The main reason for this is because we all have very unique bodies.

Knowing what works or saying product “X” works for everyone is impossible. Some things will work for some while other treatments will work for others.

A dermatologist can help in figuring out what causes our specific acne but even their recommendations can fall short of a cure. This led me to find a couple acne home remedies that anyone could do but they are not as appealing or not as easy to pull off or take too long to see results.

Doctors say it all the time but that is because we don’t do it and that is to drink lots of water. The recommended amount is 64 oz. a day! If we can pull this off we can have healthier skin. The trick is that we shouldn’t be drinking anything else like coffee, or sodas, or energy drinks. Things like Gatorade and green tea are acceptable; we just aren’t supposed to consume drinks with sugar in them.

Along with drinking plenty of water researchers are discovering that introducing more androgen hormones in our diets can also cause breakouts. These hormones are in skim milk and other types of milk that we get at the grocery store. It is like being back in high school and when those hormones flair up so do the pimples. One interesting fact is that humans are the only animals that still consume milk once they are adults. Wild animals don’t consume milk once they leave their mothers protection and they do just fine. This raises a question if we are supposed to be drinking milk so much anyways?

We may never know exactly how to stop this skin condition called acne but it is always fun to know what the options are if we run out things to try. These few “remedies” are just the tip of the iceberg for an acne home remedy that people have claimed work for them. The question remains are we willing to try them and if we do will they work for us too?

Easy Blackhead and Whitehead Removal Tips 0

Jan10

Removing blackheads and whiteheads can be very frustrating as well as a hassle. Having these blemishes are also discomforting and embarrassing, especially if you see people staring at them when you are at school or simply taking a walk outside. Here then are tips that can help you on how to remove blackheads and whiteheads, so you can have a clear and blemish free skin.

Sorbitol or glycerin soap is great for removing whiteheads and blackheads. Try to find a soap that contains these two elements. These soaps will help unblock your pores and take away the oil that is accumulated in your face. As a suggestion, use this to was your face at least twice a day.

Next, is for you to start eating healthy. Avoid foods which contain high amounts of saturated fats, sugar and vegetable oil. Some good examples of foods that you need to steer away from are chips, chocolates, sodas, cookies, fast food fries and burgers, cakes, pizzas and other unhealthy grubs. These types of foods will boost your insulin levels and in the process induce hormonal imbalance; thereby leading to more breakouts in the future. Eat nutritious foods like fruits, veggies, whole wheat, lean meats (lean beef, chicken, tuna, turkey) and drink at least eight glasses of water (or more) everyday to help flush out the harmful toxins inside your body. This will help you become healthy inside and out.

You can also try readily available skin creams, blackhead strips, exfoliants and other known home solutions to fight blackheads and whiteheads.

As a bonus tip, make sure that you do not squeeze or pop your whiteheads and blackheads. This approach will irritate and damage your skin and can cause them to spread even more. You also need to make sure not to scratch them because they might leave a mark or scar. Lastly, refrain from touching your face, especially if you have oily or dirty hands.
