subject: Curing Acne-related Problems [print this page] A bad skin condition is something that almost everyone goes through -- at least during the adolescence years. Breakouts vary from person to person. There are those who experience mild skin problems, and there are those who, unfortunately, are more predisposed to severe skin inflammation. If an individual has oily skin, the chances of him or her having pimples is higher than those with normal to dry skin.
Acne is a condition that affects the skin when pores get clogged with excess oil production and dirt that build up on skin. However, with proper treatment and regular skin cleansing practices, breakouts can greatly be lessened. In addition, with proper dietary habits and lifestyle changes, there even is a possibility of totally eliminating this problem.
To cure acne-related problems, one has the option to treat the problem either the natural way or with the use of medicated solutions.
Jojoba oil has good oil-absorbent properties that can rapidly soften clogged pores. This makes it easier to wash and keep the skin clean and oil-free. Combine this with tea tree oil and you are assured that bacteria-causing pimples will dry up, leaving the skin blemish free.
Since tea tree oil is a good antibiotic for germ-causing zits, more skin products are formulated with it as one of the powerful ingredients to combat pimple problems. Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are other components added to medically prepared products. Look for this chemical combination when buying medicated products for acne treatment.
As with any other skin diseases, prevention is always better than actually treating skin problems. To avoid this, detoxifying the body with unnecessary elements can greatly reduce incidence of pimple problems. Refrain from eating chips and fatty foods. Instead, drink lots of water, fruit and vegetable juices, and eat fruits and vegetables as these help in cleansing the body with unwanted toxins.
Try to avoid stressful environments. Stress is a great contributory factor to pimple build up. Sleep early and incorporate exercise, deep breathing, and meditation in daily activities because these actions help in maintaining good skin texture and aid in providing a relaxing atmosphere.
Using a mild skin cleanser, wash face regularly to avoid pimple and oil build up. However, when there's a pimple outbreak, never prick or touch the affected area. This will only worsen the acne situation. At the onset, start treating the pimple either naturally or using medication to avoid future problems.
