Well, believe it or not, getting rid of acne can be very simple and that is what we are going to cover in this brief article. Now I am aware that there are some cases of acne that are severe and they need more intensive treatment. If that is the case for you, there are many websites out there (including mine) that have more in-depth information for getting rid of severe acne.

Now, on to basic acne treatment. Acne treatment really comes down to cleanliness. But “I take a shower everyday” you say…and that’s great, I recommend you keep that up, but it is a little more involved than that. Cleanliness involves several different areas that need to be addressed, especially if you are suffering from acne.

The first part is “cleanliness of your diet.” What? Yes, an “unclean” and unhealthy diet can certainly lead to acne. Taking this step to clean up your diet will not only benefit you by reducing acne, but your health overall. You should eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and limit the processed foods. Did you really think that pizza and those potato chips you ate would have no effect on your acne? Wrong! Start your overall acne battle by cleaning up your diet.

The second part (certainly easier than the first part) is taking a shower. If you are experiencing severe acne, take a shower before you go to bed and when you wake up…if your acne is not that severe, take morning showers. You sweat a lot during the night and oils are secreted (eew!) while you sleep. You need to get these off of you! The soap you use should be hypo-allergenic and can be geared towards acne treatment, but this is not a necessity – just make sure it is oil free and mild.

Third, you need to keep your “stuff” clean. What stuff? You need to keep your clothes and your bedding clean…especially your pillow case. I know you probably don’t live in a hotel where you can get your bedding changed daily, but you need to be proactiv and change or wash your pillow cases often. Once every three days or less is preferable. Just think about it – every night you put your face on that pillow, your are rubbing the dirt and oils from your face onto your pillow, and then back onto your face – gross! So wash, or change your pillow cases every couple of days and your bedding at least once a week…and wash your clothes frequently too – your friends will thank you.

Fourth, use a facial cleanser multiple times per day. Use a mild, oil-free, and water soluble cleanser to keep you face clean and fresh. This may be a pain, but you can get a small bottle (like a travel size) to keep you cleanser in and a zip-lock bag to keep your disposable applicators in. If you wear make-up, remove it when you don’t really need – like when you get home. Make-up can clog the pores and lead to acne.

That’s it, that is all you need to do to begin your battle against acne. For most people, this will work, but I do understand that some people have more severe cases. For those that need additional help, you can visit my website.

By working with your skin and not against it you pave the way to an enhanced healing of the skin. Your skin will look and feel better; it will become more even toned and vibrant.

Many acne sufferers are doing exactly the WRONG things to eliminate their problem. It’s possible to do what “conventional wisdom” tells you to do and actually worsen your acne. If you do any of the following, it might be causing your skin to look unhealthy a sick:

Smoking. Smoking causes heart disease, cancer and the thinning of your skin. Your skin has to have blood flow to cleanse the toxins that cause acne. smoking will reduce your physical activity (exercise) which you need in order to be healthy and fit. In many ways, smoking CAUSES acne!

Using Topical Steroids. Be careful when using cortisone-based medicines. They can make your skin thin and cause redness and irritation. Cortisone creams can produce wonderful results in the hands of a skilled physician, but be careful not to believe the claims of drug manufacturers. Cortisone masks symptoms, it doesn’t cure underlying CAUSES. Try tea tree oil diluted in water instead.

Antibiotics: Antibiotic treatments like tetracycline can aggravate acne and also damage your internal “flora” as well. Antibiotics destroy all the bacteria in your system including the good, probiotic bacteria like acidophilus that have many important characteristics that promote clear skin. The “good bacteria” that live inside your digestive tract protect you from parasites and fungi. They can also stress and damage your liver, one of the most important organs responsible for the healing of your skin.

Four-In-One-Blades. During an active case of acne, you need to be gentle to your skin. Unfortunately, frustration and self-loathing due to acne can cause us to treat our skin rougher than we should. Using four blades instead of a single blade cartridge can cause severe irritation and, by slicing the “head” off a cyst, expose it to infection and scabbing.

Never use these four-in-one razor blades when shaving especially if you have large bumps and painful cysts. The reason is that blades that guarantee the “closest shave” will cause severe irritation and will damage your skin. Always use a single blade when having “live” acne.

Picking, Popping, and Squeezing. Never, ever, EVER touch, pick or squeeze your acne or zits! Even though there’s a strange sort of satisfaction that comes from extracting a zit, it’s not safe. Popping your acne will make your acne worse by aggravating your existing inflammations and pushes the puss deeper and into the pores of your skin. There are safe and effective ways of dealing with small whiteheads or blackheads but I strongly recommend leaving that to a skin care professional. Squeezing acne is almost guaranteed to leave scars on your skin that will NEVER go away.

Excessive Vitamin A. Concentrated doses of any supplement are not NATURAL and they are not always SAFE. Every year, people are hospitalized from overdoses of vitamins. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that it’s not easily flushed from the body, like Vitamin C. Vitamin A from green leafy vegetable and fruits can be very helpful in resolving acne, but taking too much can cause liver damage. Always read and follow the dosage instructions on the bottle. they’re there for a reason!

Steroid Creams for Rosacea. Over the counters steroid creams for Rosacea. This should be a no-brainer. Taking over the counters make your skin red and irritated is is downright DUMB if you’re suffering from rosacea. Always consult your dermatologist prior to applying over the counters on inflamed and highly sensitive skin.

When you are suffering from acne, it’s an indication that one or more of your bodies systems are not operating as they should. Acne is an indication that you need to re-evaluate your lifestyle. Rather than slapping some of the latest potion on your acne, take it as an opportunity to consider how you can change your lifestyle so you can be more healthy and vibrant.

Yes there really is a natural treatment for acne and zits. Before you spend another day suffering and before you spend another PENNY on acne medicines, visit TreatmentForAcneAndZits.com for news and ideas that can help.
