Natural ways to treat Pimples and AcneBY: Jessica | Category: Health and Fitness | Post Date: 2009-07-27
Acne and pimples are very common problems among teenagers, especially girls. Acne is usually referred to pimples but it is also a term used for skin cysts, black heads, temporary scarring and white heads. Pimples usually tend to go away after 19 years of age among most individuals. During adolescence androgen hormones tend to increase the level of oils which can result in pimples. Women can have Acne breakups during any time of their life. Even though there can be numerous reasons behind Acne which only a doctor can tell you after conducting skin tests. Acne is a common skin disease causing pimples mostly on the face, back, neck, chest and shoulders. Following are the best natural ways to treat pimples and acne in general. 1. Minimize exposure to Sun: Long exposure to Sun can elevate your acne problem. Applying Sun screen is a choice but it is better to not apply anything on your skin. Protect yourself in sun with an umbrella. Sun's harmful ultra violet rays are not good for skin and sunlight can make skin dry and scaly. Forget about tanning in sun. 2. Drink plenty of water: Drinking water helps in keeping skin healthy. It helps to drain out toxins in the body in a much more efficient way. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water is ideal. 3. How to clean your face: Always be very gentle while cleaning your face. Rubbing and rough handling of skin can rupture pimples and aggravate your acne problem. Use plain cold water to wash your skin is the best. Using a mild cleanser once a day is also fine. Use a soft cloth and then gently tough your face with it instead of rubbing it all over. 4. Never prick pimples: People often puncture pimples, especially when they are on the face and distinctly visible. Pricking pimples can cause skin inflammation and acne scars. Let your skin heal your pimples naturally. 5. Eat lots of Fruits and Vegetables: Increasing the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits provides vital nutrients which are the secret of good skin. It also helps to provide fiber for the body. 6. Avoid Cosmetics: Oil based makeups are not good for Acne. Most women apply even more layers of makeup to hide pimples. It is best to use natural makeups which are non-oil based. Cosmetic products that contain products like isopropyl myristate, laureth-4, lanolins and sodium lauryl sulphate are also not good for skin which already has pimples. Overall, lesser (or no) makeup is the best. To remove blackheads, you can use blackhead remover strips. 7. Birth control pills can cause Acne: Some birth control pills can have chemicals like ethinyl estradiol and nerothindrone that can sometimes eleviate your acne problem (not always). 8. You can use OTC's with benzoyl peroxide in them. Consulting your dermatologist is the best. It is also recomended not to use more than one treatment at a time. 9. Take care while shaving: In men, shaving with blade based razors can cause pimples to rupture. Your alternative can be using electric shavers. In both cases be very gentle with your skin. There is no perfect or permanent cure for acne pimples. Acne can also be caused by stress, sun exposure and even climate changes. These were some of the natural ways of treating pimples and acne.
