Acne Treatment Blog

Now I’ve used sprays before, I’ve used gels, I’ve used serums, I’ve used washes, the list really goes on.  I’ve even tried pills, which by the way I’ve actually found to be the most effective in so many ways.  But this being said, one of my favorite scams is the spray.  Quite frankly, the spray sounds like a good idea. It goes on lightly, and it’s so easy.  But think about it.  How many particles get lost in the air, so you end up going through more if you really think about it just to get enough on the skin to actually get those concentrations, power, and have that particular effect.  This being said, if you actually look at every single spray out there, they don’t even bother using the right amounts and concentrations anyway, let alone the right ingredients.  It’s one thing if a gel doesn’t or uses only one ingredient, at least it’s actually getting on your skin.  The spray doesn’t even have that generalized benefit.  So like I said, the idea of a spray is one of my favorite scams, at least right now.  But what would we do without them, oh, we wouldn’t have to search for months or even years to find the right treatment.  We would just get good products!  Wouldn’t that be the day.

I have spent years as a teenager searching for the best acne treatments on one mistaken basis, the idea that it would actually cure my acne. I thought that if I used it for a month or two, I should be able to stop using it, and the best acne treatments would make it so that my acne would never come back. Needless to say, I went through a lot of acne treatments that way. And that’s one of the beauties of being a teenager who knows everything. You do stupid things like that. Granted, it wasn’t all wasted. I didn’t find the best acne treatments until adulthood, because quite frankly I never really made it to the point with most acne treatments of even getting rid of my acne in the first place. I would use them for a few months at a time, and I would quite literally see no results at all, either that or my acne would actually get worse, take your pick. So obviously, the fact that I judged those to not be the best acne treatments was based on some kind of logic. But my expectations for after were unreasonable. This being said, when I finally found my choice in acne treatments, I still use it to this day. But I had greater references in general as to what to expect.

I buy huge shells of strawberries at Costco.  Costco is how I buy the great majority of my food quite frankly, and while I only buy a few things at a time, the things are so big that you don’t always make it all the way through before it goes bad, especially with fresh fruits like strawberries.  Frankly, I love strawberries, and so when I buy a shell I have multiple uses.  I make pies, eat them fresh, make shortcake, and I make facial masks.  Strawberries have always been prized for their extreme levels of vitamin C for one thing, and that’s good considering I am too picky about my quality of oranges and orange juice in general.  Too much one way or the either in ripening tastes funny to me.  But when used on your skin, vitamin C is one of those vitamins that you can never get too much of.  Plus, it has salicylic acid, which is an extremely cheap and common, yet effective ingredient in fighting acne.  Frankly, when combining it with honey, it works even better for its antibacterial properties among other things.  Strawberries in general are one of the best foods you can use for your skin, and it makes it a lot easier for me to deal with those huge shells and everything else.

It seems like one of the most common places for women to breakout is the chin.  I’ve always broken out around the forehead, but that was before I grew out my bangs, and quite frankly, it becomes quite obvious why you’re breaking out in one area when your hair is always there and trading oils with your face all the time.  That being said, apparently women are more likely to suffer certain hormonal balances, you think?  Anyway, when you have these hormonal imbalances, it creates more progesterone in general which causes more excess oil to be produced.  This causes greater acne in general, and according to reports hormonal acne in particular is far more likely to appear around the chin. This is something I’ve discovered especially recently, mostly since I grew out my bangs eliminating the focus on that particular area and problem.  I don’t understand all the fine lines of it and everything like that.  But I do know that chin acne can be rather inconvenient as can any area of acne, but it should be dealt with just like any other case of acne, by dealing with all the contributors rather than just one or two using a more comprehensive formula in general.

I know it’s odd, but I am not really fond of the grapefruit.  So when the whole office smelled like it this morning, I was a bit disgusted.  I don’t know if someone actually lit a match or what they did, because there was no grapefruit in the fridge or other area around it.  But that got me thinking about the benefits of the grapefruit.  There is a whole diet or two variations of the same diet that have been used to achieve it.  But the grapefruit is more than just that.  If you can actually use it, it is highly beneficial to the skin.  It works as a great antibacterial and antiseptic, and it has healing properties that help the skin to easily regenerate itself.  It has also been known to cleanse the digestive tract, which means essentially speaking, it is clearing out some toxins when used in a proper diet that may be holding you back and causing greater bacteria levels to seep through the skin.  It can also increase the breakdown of fat in the body and fight other viruses and infections in general.  it has been known to work as an active exfoliator to the skin, which basically helps you to deal with quite a few of your acne problems in general, and this can obviously help you being that it is also rich in certain vitamins and minerals your skin needs.  So all in all, though I’m not a huge fan of grapefruit, I will admit it is good for you.

I’ve heard of various beauty treatments to improve the skin, which means reducing acne, reducing wrinkles, reducing scarring and discoloration, the list really goes on. But one of the more popular things lately is called cupping therapy. It’s partly popular, because it actually comes from ancient Chinese medicine, and it basically works by using small plastic suction cups. They attach to a suction machine and then vacuum your skin or face in general. it begins at the lymph node in the neck, and from there it works across the rest of the face, pulling the skin up lightly at first. They claim that by doing this, you would naturally stimulate the blood flow, which would increase general nutrient delivery to the skin. They also say that it improves the skin’s natural collagen production for smooth, lifted skin. They claim it should be dispensed in about 8 applications in general terms, and if you get the blood flowing, it generally has the effect of also getting bacteria pushed out in some ways instead of sticking in the skin and otherwise causing more acne, as you will also see with oils in general. There is not really proof that it works, so of course proceed with caution before paying too much for it.

Peaches and cream, generally a dessert combination or at least one thought of that way.  However, they have now in some ways stated that you can also use it as a homemade facial to eliminate acne and improve the general condition of the skin.  Not all of us naturally have beautiful skin that we want, but it can apparently give you greater potential in general.  This being said, you can properly moisturize and nourish the skin to some degree. It has the moisturizing ability as well as obviously some vitamins and minerals that will properly nourish and protect the skin.  Likewise, peaches have vitamins and minerals that your body may need.  But it also has powerful antioxidants as a good fruit.  This will help you to kill off bacteria and free radicals that may lie on your skin.  And this will naturally help you to reduce redness, irritation, inflammation, and acne in general that is associated with these bacteria and other germs.  All of this will help you to get rid of your acne, clear your face, and get all the results you want rather than some of the ones you fear.  And letting it soak in will obviously allow it to work more effectively.
