Dissolusioned with acne products or procedures? You are not alone. Millions have been burnt out on so-called acne cures. The fact is there simply is no specific cure for acne because acne is not a disease. So does that mean you are stuck with big bumps popping out of your face forever? No .. not by a long shot. Acne for the most part is the result of a bacteria that finds an opening in the skin to invade. Once it enters the skin it begins to multiply (colonize) creating an area of alert to the bodies protective white cell army that send billions of white cells to destroy the invader. The end result is that millions of white cells die in battle, which creates an inflamed swollen area of dead cells (pus). And if the battle last too long it will push and spread to create an area of damaged skin cells creating a scar best known as a pockmark. Of course the medical profession has a list of terms to express each of these conditions but regardless of these technical terms the end result is acne breakouts that can and will permanently damage your skin with small and large pockmarks. HOW THE MEDICAL WORLD SEES ACNE Acne has been around since the beginning of time. So the medical profession has had ample time and plenty of subjects of which to investigate the process of acne formation. Yet, to this day, the entire group of methods for ace control are still very basic. ANTIBIOTICS: It makes sense that acne bacteria should respond to various antibiotics. In most cases an antibiotic simply aids the body in identifying an intruder which activates the bodies defense system to attack and destroy. However the acne bacteria has had thousands and thousands of years to grow an intelligence that allows it to adapt (immune) its self against the antibiotic chemicals most often used. So the effectiveness of any one (or combination) of antibiotics are limited as to how long they will be able to help control the acne bacteria before it becomes ineffective as the acne bacteria adapts. The results of antibiotics is that with each change the doctor prescribes you are building a stronger and stronger immune resistant acne bacteria that eventually becomes invincible to almost any form of acne remedy. MEDICATIONS: Of course a medication is simply a chemical that cause a reaction. You take an aspirin to deaden the nervous system to reduce your body aches and pains. You take caffeine to awaken the nervous system to a more alert state. In other words medications work on symptomatic conditions. Acne medications are no different. Because we know that acne bacteria creates the problem and that in order for it to do this it must have a place of entry into skin, then the obvious thing to do is find something that blocks the entry process or eliminates the bacteria. This makes almost all acne medications to fall into two categories. One is by using various chemicals to slow down the natural production of skin oils. This process lessens the skin oils that push open to the surface which also limits the amount of available open pore entries for bacteria invasion. Two is to simply use various chemicals that will destroy the bacteria on a continual basis. There are many products that attempt to do one or both of the various methods mentioned. And to some degree they are at least temporarily effective. The problems with these procedures can range from mild to extremely hazardous. Medications that are developed to destroy the acne bacteria are also capable of destroying "good bacteria" that devour dead skin cells. Destroying these "good bacteria" can cause dead skin cells to build up causing dry skin patches and worse. Other medications use chemicals in their formula that are often dealing with the natural hormonal system. Of course, anything that interferes with the bodys hormones will always have the potential of causing other severe side effects to the body. With almost every product having some form of weakness or side effect is there really any safe and effective options left? Keeping in mind that there really IS NO CURE for acne then it is easier to pick out what will work best and safest for you. First you need to eliminate any product that you might have an allergic reaction to. Which means you must know the ingredients that make up a medication. Many folks react to sulfur, acidic chemicals and some herbal products which are commonly used in acne remedies. Next you will need to decide what is actually the main objective you are looking to overcome. Is your skin oily? Dry? Does it have major damage (scars and pockmarks)? If you have oily skin then a product that creates a drying effect such as Pro Activ, http://www.proactiv.com can be beneficial. If your skin is dry then you would want to avoid these type of products. If you have skin damage then you might consider topical products that aid in healing of damaged skin cells such as Oxzit. The original oxygen based product. In most circumstances one of the main concerns is skin oil balance. Although you could go back and forth with many types of products to attempt this balance the easiest way is to let nature take its natural course. Meaning, don’t do anything to cause the imbalance such as over-washing your face with soaps and cleansers that eliminate all the skin oils. Why? Because this alerts your body that the skin oil protection is missing and triggers the body to increase skin oil production. The added skin oil production means more pores will be forced open to bacterial invasion as the oils push to the surface. Resulting in more infected areas and more acne breakouts. OVER-THE-COUNTER ACNE TREATMENTS: These products are usually available over the counter from a pharmacy or even from some supermarkets. Creams, lotions and cleansers are used for mainly mild to moderate cases of acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a common ingredient found in many over the counter acne treatments. It works by reducing the amount of P.acnes (acne causing bacteria) as well as removing dead skin cells which prevent pores from becoming blocked. (Adverse effects is drying skin) Salicyclic acid is another ingredient found in over the counter products, it helps to correct abnormal shedding of skin cells as well as helping to unclog pores. Like, benzoyl peroxide, it needs to be used continuously otherwise pores will become blocked when you stop using it. Tea tree oil is a good natural antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiseptic and antimicrobial agent which can be purchased over the counter. It can either be applied directly to blemishes with a cotton bud or diluted with water and splashed over the face. Molecular oxygen is a new acne fighting agent that has two distinct advantages. It naturally destroys the P.acnes bacteria while providing natural oxygen to skin cells for faster tissue healing at the cellular level. The original Oxzit formula offered by Remedeze.com has proven safe and effective since 1996. PRESCRIPTION ACNE TREATMENTS: Prescription treatments are only used for moderate to severe (cystic) cases of acne and it usually takes about six weeks for effective results. Isotretinoin (Accutane is probably the most powerful prescription acne treatment. It works by decreasing the amount of oil produced by the skin’s oil (sebaceous) glands. However, there are some very serious side effects associated with isotretinoin, including birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Antibiotic medication is another prescription acne treatment used for moderate to severe cases. It has been used for more than 30 years to treat acne with a certain amount of success. Antibiotics work by reducing the amount of bacteria in the skin, while also acting as anti-inflammatory. Side effects associated with this treatment may include increased risk for antibiotic resistance in bacteria, yeast infections and increased photosensitivity. Hormone medication has also been used for many years to treat acne. It requires a prescription from a dermatologist or doctor and is used to treat moderate to severe acne. Hormone therapy (birth control pills/oral contraceptives) works by helping to balance fluctuating hormones. Most hormone pills contain estrogen or progesterone which balances out an excess of androgens (male hormones). Androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands to which can result in an excess amount of oil which may lead to increased blemishes. Possible side effects of birth control/oral contraceptive pills may include vaginal bleeding, fluid retention, melasma and depression. The risks also include increased chances of developing a heart attack, stroke, blood lot and breast cancer. TOPICAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES: Dermabrasion is a system that basically wears away the surface of your skin allowing oxygen to reach the exposed bacteria in the pores. This process is a good temporary remedy for a severe case of acne simply because it allows new skin cells to form a less damaged surface while exposing the bacteria to oxygen which destroys it. The only draw back is that once the surface repairs its self you are apt to have the same situation develop in a very short period of time. Which means the process would have to be repeated on a very regular basis. Plus the potential of putting skin oils out of balance during the skin cell rejuvenating process could produce an even greater pimple problem. Blue Light Treatment is a form of ultraviolet used for years as a method of destroying bacteria on medical and surgical utensils. Although this process has the potential of being an effective treatment for some acne there is still one definite drawback. The destruction of helpful "good bacteria". These good bacteria continually eliminate dead skin cells from your facial tissue. If these dead cell bacteria eaters are eliminated it can allow for a build up of dry skin patches and other more severe skin ailments. Acidic washes are method of destroying the upper skin layer which will cause a similar situation to the Dermabrasion system. Forcing an overhaul of the skin simply eliminates the immediate infections but increases the chance of greater problems as the raw surface exposure triggers greater production of skin oils causing clogged pores and excessive skin oils to push open more pores to infection. Laser acne treatment is one of the more expensive options, with some treatments costing $200 per session. Lasers can help to treat acne lesions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria or shrinking the sebaceous oil glands. They can also help to improve the appearance of acne scars with laser resurfacing techniques. Laser stands for light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation. Lasers work by generating a concentrated beam of light that travels in one direction. This laser beam is capable of cutting, sealing or vaporizing the skin tissue and blood vessels. Laser acne treatment isn’t an instant cure for acne and it won’t get rid of your acne scars completely but it can significantly improve the appearance of the skin. There are two main types of lasers that are used in acne scar therapy. They are resurfacing lasers (ablative) and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers heat and remove the top skin tissue, basically burning away the scar tissue. They also stimulate the dermal collagen to tighten which helps to reduce the visibility of a scar. The most common lasers used in resurfacing are the ultrapulsed carbon dioxide laser, erbrium YAG laser and the pulsed dye yellow light laser. The yellow light laser is also helpful in treating keloidal scars, flattening and preventing redness as well alleviating the itch of a raised scar. However, the skin is injured during laser resurfacing, so extra care is needed with wound care to prevent infection. The skin may also remain red for several months after treatment. A series of treatments are usually required and you won’t see the final result until about 18 months after the last laser resurfacing treatment. Non ablative lasers are non-wounding lasers that trigger changes within the dermis without injuring the epidermis. This laser acne treatment is something that can be done in your lunchtime as there are few side effects and recovery is very speedy. Smoothbeam is an FDA approved ablative laser which treats acne by heating the sebaceous gland which then helps to reduce sebum production. Clearlight is another FDA approved light device for treating acne which works by activating molecules called porphyrins that are produced by acne bacteria. Stimulating the porphyrins helps to eliminate the bacterium which then reduces acne formation. HERBAL ACNE REMEDIES: A herbal acne remedy can be an excellent alternative if you don’t want to take powerful acne drugs that can produce possible side effects. However, don’t expect instant results with a herbal acne remedy, as most will take at least a month to have any effect. There has also been very little scientific research undertaken to show how effective herbal treatments are for treating acne. Despite the lack of research many acne sufferers have had a certain amount of success with various herbal acne treatments. A herbal acne remedy probably works best when combined with other natural treatments such as maintaining a healthy diet, stress relief therapy (massage, yoga) and regular exercise. Coriander Juice: Mix a teaspoon of coriander juice with a pinch of tumeric powder and then apply to a freshly washed face. Leave overnight and then wash the mixture off with warm water. Garlic: Rub raw garlic, several times a day, onto the affected areas of the skin. The external use of garlic is known to help clear the skin of pimples, spots and boils. As well as the external treatment, try eating three pods of garlic daily to help purify the blood stream. If you are worried about having bad breath after eating so much garlic, make sure you eat parsley (a natural breath freshner) afterwards. Cucumber: Grate a cucumber and then apply over the face, eyes and neck and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Try and repeat this treatment several times a weeks, to help prevent pimples and blackheads. Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial agent. Apply tea tree oil directly to your blemishes with a cotton bud or dilute with water and splash it over your face or over the affected area. You can also add a couple of drops to a basin full of hot water for a facial steam bath. Oxygen: Probably one of the newer methods has shown to be effective because of the ability to overcome bacteria without creating the bacteria immune syndrome. A safe molecular style of stabilized liquid oxygen can be applied directly to the infected areas using drops or spray mist. More about Oxygen treatments at http://www.remedeze.com/oxzit/ Basil: Take one small handful of fresh basil leaves you can buy a bunch at most grocery stores. Put the leaves and two cups of water into a pot and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes. Put the mixture in the refrigerator to chill and then apply to the face or troubled area with a cotton ball twice a day. HOME REMEDIES FOR ACNE Home remedies for acne can be an excellent alternative to expensive medicated treatments. Very little scientific research has been conducted into whether any of these acne home remedies actually work, but many acne sufferers have had a certain amount of success with them. Results are not usually as quick as those achieved from medicated treatments but they do have less, if any side effects. Distilled White Vinegar: Firstly, wash your face with mild soap and then rinse well. Apply vinegar to the face with a cotton ball and let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse with cold water. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to dilute the vinegar with some water as it can be quite strong on the skin. Natural Exfoliates: Tomato, lemon or any citric fruit make great natural exfoliates. They work as a natural sloughing treatment, removing dead skin cells from clogged pores. Firstly, wash your face and then rinse. Squeeze a lemon or citrus fruit into a bowl and soak a cotton ball in the juice. Apply the lemon juice to the face and then leave for 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water. The lemon juice may make your face feel like it is burning or tingling so if you have sensitive skin you might want to dilute the juice with some water. Egg Yolk Mask: Beat one egg white and then apply liberally with a cotton ball. Leave the yolk on the face for approx 15 minutes so it dries and feels tight and then rinse off with cold water. Egg yolks contain a lot of protein and fatty acids which can replenish the skin and tighten the pores. Mix honey (preferably manuka honey) with oatmeal into a paste and then apply to the skin. Leave for approx 15 minutes so the oatmeal absorbs the oil of your skin. Ice Cubes: This only works for pimples that haven’t actually surfaced yet. If you feel a pimple forming underneath the surface of the skin, take an ice cube and wrap it in plastic wrap and place it on the affected area. Hold it there for several minutes and try to repeat this several more times during the day. Steam Facial: Put a kettle full of freshly boiled water into a basin and add a couple of drops of tea tree oil. Cover you head with a towel and steam your face over the basin for 5 minutes. When you have finished, splash your face with cold water, to help close the pores again. ACNE VITAMINS The skin is the largest organ in the body and it acts as the first line of defense against infectious diseases and microbes. The skin is also the place where toxins from inside the body are excreted through pores and glands. Therefore, your body needs total nutrition to promote healthy skin and to prevent acne. Vitamins and minerals play an important part in keeping the skin healthy and keeping acne at bay. There simply isn’t any one vitamin or mineral that will drastically improve your acne or prevent it from forming, but there are some that are vital for helping to maintain healthy skin. Vitamin A: Research has found that those who have severe acne often have low levels of Vitamin A in their blood. Vitamin A is needed for the maintenance and repair of the tissue which the skin and mucous membranes are made of. It is also an antioxidant that relieves the body of oxidative stress. It is found naturally in carrots, green leafy vegetables and yellow/orange fruits. Vitamin is very toxic if taken in high doses and pregnant women should seek advice before taking a vitamin A supplement. Vitamin B: The B group of vitamins, help to maintain healthy skin tone, they can also help to relieve anxiety and stress, which can be a trigger for acne formation. Some independent studies have found that Vitamin B6 is helpful in treating acne. It is crucial in the functioning of the immune system and antibody production. It is found naturally in bananas, blackcurrants, watermelon, leek, green pepper, sweet potato, avocado and chick peas. Vitamin C: Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen (connective tissue in skin and bones), it also aids the absorption of iron and speeds up healing. The body uses more vitamin C if you smoke or take antibiotics or oral contraceptives. Vitamin C is found naturally in blackcurrant, blackberry, grapefruit, lemon, oranges, brussel sprouts. Zinc: Zinc is a mineral not a vitamin so foods will only have as much zinc in them as the soil they were grown in contained. A lack of zinc has shown to increase the production of male hormones. An excess of male hormones stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce an excess amount of oil, which often leads to blemishes. It is found naturally in brewers yeast, whole grains, brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds. WARNING: It has been recently determined by the AMA that taking large quantities of vitamin E can cause severe health problems. OTHER KNOWN ACNE CAUSES: Washing your face too often – This can aggravate the skin by drying it out, which may encourage the glands to produce more oil. Medications – Acne can be a possible side effect of certain medications such as steroids, barbiturates and seizure medication. Face and Hair products – Any cosmetic product can clog the pores potentially leading to a blemish breakout. Try to use only ‘noncomdomedogenic’ (products that don’t clog the pores) and avoid using products that contain pomades, petrolatum, lanolin, vegetable oils, butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid. Some hair products have created what is now termed "Party Pimples" because they overlap on the forehead and neck clogging pores and creating pimples. Tight-fitting clothing – If you suffer from body acne (e.g. back acne, chest acne), try to avoid tight-fitting clothing as it can trap sweat against the skin. Always remove sweaty clothing after exercise and shower immediately. THE INTERNAL PROBLEM Recent independent studies into the possibility of internal causes for acne breakouts are turning up some unique possibilities. Prostaglandin is a new term to the average layman that may have some bearing on why some folks are plagued with acne while others remain acne free. A rather complicated process that develops various hormonal production and elimination is tightly tied into this unique substance along with the intricate liver operations. As yet there are no conclusive facts to the internal theory but it is somewhat logical that the excessive production of sebum do to hormonal imbalance could be a factor in the acne process. THE EVER ELUSIVE BACTERIA If there is anything that truly gives acne the edge it would be its ability to adapt rapidly to almost any form of medication or antibiotic. The "Propionibacterium Acnes" bacteria has the versatility to immune its self against most any form of medication in very short order. Which makes most antibiotics ineffective after several treatments. This results in continual changes in antibiotics being used until there are finally no available antibiotics that have any effect on the acne bacteria. A recent medical report states that the "baby boomers" of today that are now in their 50’s, 60’s and 70’s are all suffering from the overuse of antibiotics during their growing years. Repeated use of antibiotics interfered with the development of natural antibodies while also causing various diseases to gain new strength as they adapted to the antibiotics. So what is to be learned from this? That often we create our own problems by being too quick on the trigger in using medications instead of allowing the body to develop its own defense system. The minute a simple pimple shows up we begin to try various treatments that tend to backfire by increasing the power of the acne bacteria. This forces us to try stronger and stronger remedies that only help the acne bacteria to become even stronger and more stubborn to eliminate. Along with these vigorous treatments we attempt to over come the bacteria by over-washing and repeated cleansing of the face which completely eliminates the natural skin oils. Again this causes a backfire effect as the body senses the need for skin protectiion and increases the sebum (skin oil) production that forces open more pores to bacterial invasion. So what is the real answer to overcoming acne breakouts? Here is the absolute truth. No one medication, method, product, diet, vitamin, herbal remedy or system is going to help everyone. I repeat, "No one medication, method, product, diet, vitamin, herbal remedy or system is going to help everyone." There are way too many variations of genetics, lifestyles and acne conditions to be controlled under one magical program. That is why someone can swear to you that they found the only product that really works and yet it does absolutely nothing to help you. It is extremely necessary for you to accept the fact that you are a total individual with little in common with any other acne sufferer. Once you have done this you can begin your quest to overcome your particular acne problem. And your first step should be to allow your body to do its miracle work first to see if it is able to overcome the problem as it develops its antibodies in defense of bacterial invasion. Cut out the harsh soapy washings and use warm water to clean your face whenever possible. This helps to keep your skin oils in balance. Maintain a quality diet so your body has all the necessary nutrients to build the healing blocks required to create a good defense system against the "Propionibacterium Acnes" bacteria. Consume proper quantities of water daily. At least 6 glasses of water daily to help eliminate the buildup of body waste accumulated each day. This is critical to the proper operation of your liver which works to continually purify your body. Schedule your days and nights so that you have adequate amounts of natural exercise along with quality times of rest. Don’t cheat on sleep. You will cause many problems doing so. Probably the hardest part of all is to control your stress and anxieties. But this too is extremely necessary to control the natural hormonal body balance which has a direct effect on skin oil (sebum) production. And finally, test every product you use on your face individually to assure that it does not aggravate your acne situation. If you follow the above steps and possibly add some milder safe acne remedy to help control bacterial buildup you will more than likely see the clearing results that can make life bearable. Don’t expect miracles because they are just unlikely to happen. Your system is prone to acne, which is why you are dealing with the problem. Whether it is from lifestyle, heredity or any of a 100 other reasons you must deal with the acne situation. If you find a product that helps without causing side effects or future increased acne or other health problems, then stick with it. Don’t bounce from remedy to remedy in hopes of the perfect cure. Controlling the breakouts to any degree is worth the effort. But spending your money and time trying to find the Silver Bullet acne cure is only going to add to your frustrations. The author has over 12 years of study from direct contact with thousands of acne sufferers. This accumulative report offers you common knowledge information concerning the acne condition available. Nothing in this report is meant to take the place of specialized advice from your Doctor. When in question of any remedy you should consult with a qualified physician. There is always new research that is constantly revealing potential acne treatments. However at the time of this report creation there is no known cure for acne.
