Using a Natural Acne Face Treatment
January 29th, 2009Using a Natural Acne Face Treatment
For anyone who suffers acne having outbreaks on their face is the worst form of this skin disorder and finding an acne face treatment that works is a high priority. Most people rush out to their local pharmacy and purchase some form of topical cream which is spread on the offending pimples. While these OTC remedies might work short term they key to treating acne comes from within.
Acne itself is a condition of the skin in which small inflamed raised spots appear mostly on the face, neck, and back. It occurs when hair follicles get plugged and bacteria from the skin are ready to enter the follicle, causing an infection. Acne first appears during puberty and even though it is unclear why it happens, growth of the sebaceous gland is though to be a factor. As we age it is becoming clearer that diet and lifestyle can play a role in the formation of facial acne as well.
Other over-the-counter acne treatments just deal with the symptoms and don’t address the root problems. Acne is caused from imbalances and impurities within the body, and that’s why more natural treatments are aimed at reversing this. These treatments work naturally to correct physiological imbalances and stimulate your body’s own defenses against bacteria and infection. Homeopathic acne treatments are particularly favourite in Europe and have been used for centuries without side effects.
Not only will vitamins and herbal supplements help improve your overall health but they can also help control and prevent acne over time. Small doses of Vitamin A can help reduce the production of sebum and keratin. Vitamin B6, which aids in the metabolism of hormones, is an anti-oxidant and is helpful in dealing with mid-cycle or premenstrual acne. Vitamin B5 has been shown in current studies to help with the over-production of oil with none of the side effects found in over the counter medications. Insufficient amounts of Vitamin B2 can actually cause oily skin. In fact the whole range of B vitamins will help keep your skin clear.
Today’s fast food diet denies the body the nutrients it needs to effectively combat and prevent acne. Vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements are a good way to make up for the deficient of nutrition found in many peoples diet today. If nothing else a vitamin B complex along with Vitamins A and C, zinc, and primrose and flaxseed oil need to be added to any diet of someone looking for a natural acne face treatment.

Question: acne scars and pure, natural vitamin e oil?
at night i am using benzoyl peroxide which is working great … but i still have marks from previous pimples … i have been rubbing natural vitamin e oil on my skin (i am speaking about my face just to clarify) during the day. i know vitamin e is really good for your skin, so will this help the scars to fade? i do know about mederma, but i am so broke and i cant afford it right now. and i already have the vitamin e oil.
i am asking because i cant tell yet since its only been 2 days since i started using the vitamin e.
and i dont want to waste it if i will not help anything on my face.
o ok. they r not deep scars … just mild surface scars.

It probably can’t injured but doubt it will help, depending on the typing of scarring. Pitted scars are resultant from, not only ruin to the skin, but the tissue beneath the skin; thus, topical creams and ointments would not really work. Mild acne scarring will improve over time.
To date, the ony truly effective methods I know of for severe acne scarring are chemical peel , dermabrasion, laser or resurfacing of scars, soft-tissue augmentation, intralesional steroid injection (keloids) or excisional surgery .

well don’t worry they are not really scars at all.. Most acne marks are just superficial meaning that they will just fade away with time. Benzoyl peroxide strips layers of skin away making the marks look more visible, and it also dries the skin so using that may not be in your best interest. Tea tree oil works better than benzoyl peroxide and its natural. its expensive though so you may have to wait. to help fade the scars you may want wash your face with warm salt water then rub the vitamin e oil… try it for a few days
Also stay out of the sun and when you finish your benzoyl peroxide and vitamin e oil buy tea tree and jojoba oil online they work muc better…
i am using the same thing but also try to eat foods that are rich in vitamin E because diet is really important and it helps ur skin look natural.
yes, vitamin E works wonders !
but try to put it only on the scars, it could also clog up your pores.
you should try to swallow vitamin E tablets also.
but you could also try bio oil, which worked wonders for me.
its about 10 dollars
