ACNE CURES & REMEDIES

Did you know that the common case of acne occurs in 85% of all teenagers in the world? In most cases, it does not stop there. Sometimes it will last well into adulthood. You may or may not see your case disappear in your early to mid-twenties. Do you really want to wait that long? Or, have you already waited, and now you are desperate for an answer to your ongoing problem? We'd like to explore the options you have for a solution to acne by providing a list of five common tips for treatment.

1. Avoid junk food. Ah yes, the dollar menu sure does make your wallet look pretty. However, junk food is high in fat and sugars that are sure to cause your face, neck, back, or anywhere else your acne appears, to not see the same brilliant results as your billfold.

2. Avoid carbohydrates. Eating habits involving processed foods and refined sugars have recently been connected to a chain-event reaction that is highly likely to result in a breakout case of acne. For a proper solution to acne, you may want to cut back on these pesky little carbohydrates. In turn, this will also end up being beneficial to your overall diet, making it a win-win situation, depending on how you look it.

3. Try not to pop those pimples. Yes, once you notice that giant red bump in the mirror, you will probably experience the initial urge to dispose of it using brute force. However, doing so would only promote a spreading of your acne around that area. So, unless a quick-fix is absolutely necessary, allow your skin to naturally rid of the problem spots, and you will see a substantial improvement.

4. Do not drink milk. This may be the one and only time you will ever hear this in your life. Yes, studies have shown that there is a highly possible link between the consumption of dairy products and acne appearance. Scientists attribute their reasoning to several laboratory findings, which are all sufficient compared to any existing information on every available solution to acne tip. You may have to make a choice here, though. Is clear skin worth risking healthy bones for?

5. Relax a little. Studies have shown a correlation between stress levels and acne prevalence. If you have a big test coming up, or anything of the sort, you may not have a choice in dictating your stress level. However, if you can, try to take control of your emotions, and you will find that a good portion of those irritation spots fade away over time.

There are a number of tips out there that you can begin to apply to your daily routine instantly, but none of them will be the perfect solution to acne for you, no matter what your case may be. If you have the patience, forcing yourself to follow a daily regimen with a number of helpful tips, including these five, your efforts just may produce agreeable results.

Acne is a very broad term used to describe pimples, blemishes, whiteheads and blackheads. Although acne is more common amongst teenagers it can affect any individual irrespective of age. The best way to deal with acne is to take preventative measures; however, in spite of taking all the precautions you still have it and want to get rid of it overnight, you may use these three simple tips.

The effectiveness of this method will depend on how red and deep the acne is. First wash your face with a mild face wash using lukewarm water. If you feel the pimple is not very deep squeeze it firmly till a little blood comes out. Wipe of the blood with a piece of cotton and squeeze again. Immediately apply generous amounts Neosporin ointment over the pimple and rub it in. Make sure the ointment goes deep inside the pore and then dab the excess Neosporin off the affected area. Neosporin is an antibiotic cream and will fight and eliminate the bacteria in the pimple. You will also need to take a reasonably strong oral antibiotic to fight the infection. Repeat this at least three times a day and each time you squeeze make sure a drop of blood comes out. This will effectively drain out the infection and help in quick healing of the micro wound caused by squeezing.

Keep your body well hydrated and drink at least 8 glasses of water. Garlic pills and a few cloves will do no harm and will help in fighting the infection due to their antibiotic properties. Keep hair off your face and clean your face with oil-dabbing tissues regularly throughout the day.

Change the bed sheets and pillow covers as they harbor bacteria that are responsible for the acne. Frequent change of pillow covers prevents the bacteria from re-infecting the sensitive skin of the face and thus prevents recurrence of acne.
