subject: Acne Treatments That Work - How To Cure Acne Fast [print this page] I believe that most people will be tired of the acne products in the market because they just don't seem to be able to cure your acne permanently. While long-term satisfaction is certainly available, and will be discussed here, this article will also explore some of the reasons the products on the market don't work well.
Store-bought medications, those creams and ointments, are literally applied to the surface of the problem, but acne is caused by a multitude of factors that occur beneath the surface of the skin, like excess production of sebum, clogged pores and chemical and hormone imbalances. The creams and gels, as mentioned, may clear up the skin temporarily, and the antibiotics we take may kill the bacteria infecting our skin. But good bacteria in the body are being killed as well, and the imbalances and poisons which caused the acne are still there, and will cause another outbreak.
Acne can be gotten rid of - for good, but not by addressing just the symptoms, but also by attacking the fundamental causes.If your crops aren't growing well - if the leaves are turning yellow and brown, and falling off - will you paint them green and tape them to the trunk, so that they look good? Or will you examine what might be causing the problem and deal with what you find?
Restoring balance to hormonal levels is very important, because in many cases an imbalance in this area leads to excess production of sebum, which in turn triggers the production of other hormones which promote inflammations.The hormonal imbalances that can trigger the overproduction of sebum often are caused by high levels of insulin, a hormone produced to deal with high levels of sugar in the system - sugar from the food we eat.Now seeing this process will make you understand acne treatments that work will definitely not include using acne creams that are not able to go deep into your body to deal with these problems.
The human body isn't used to the foreign chemicals and poisons produced by a diet high in processed foods and oils, which are basic elements of the western diet. Because they've built up in the system over time, it may also take a good amount of time to flush them.The toxins in our body are continuously flushed out by our hard-working bodies, but because we insist on eating the foods that produce them, whatever's flushed out is almost immediately replaced by new toxins.Acne will break out and flourish when the organs that keep our system pure and working properly - the kidney, liver and digestive tract - become overwhelmed by the toxins produced by the typical western diet.
So in reality, the best first step that can be taken to fight the fundamental causes of acne is to alter the diet from the typical western fare of oily and processed foods to a healthier, more natural diet. Foods high in sugar, animal fat, as well as processed foods, should be avoided. Rice and bread are high in carbohydrates that turn quickly to sugar once eaten, and white rice and white bread are heavily processed as well. Smaller portions of brown rice and whole-grain bread are much better choices for these dietary staples.
