Acne is the most
common skin disorder. Over 10% of Americans age 25 - 44 have acne.
Over 85% Americans age 12 - 25 will have acne at one time or the other.
If ignored, acne can become infected, create scars, and pockmarks that
become permanent on your face. I don't want this to happen to you, so I
have written a series of articles on how to clear your acne.
Acne Is a Disease
Acne is a disease called seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis. It occurs
when the sebaceous glands, under your skin, become contaminated with
oily toxic matter, which contains,
-
dirt
- dead skin
-
excess sebum oil
-
§acid waste
-
bacteria
-
toxic matter
Under normal conditions the sebaceous glands release oil that comes up
through your pores onto the skin surface. This release keeps your skin
moist and lubricated for protection from the environment.
If your pores on your face are not open or plugged, this creates toxic
oil that cannot move out onto your skin. This results in a growth or
pimple that start to increase in size as more toxic oil tries to reach
the surface of your skin.
If the pore walls burst under the skin, white blood cells move in to
digest the collagen around the pores. When this happens, you will have
scars on your face.
To avoid having scars, you need to start an acne-clearing program before
you get acne or just as soon as you see acne coming so that your
pimples and back heads don't get to the point where they get severely
infected and burst.
Clearing Your Acne
Acne is a complex condition that involves many parts of the body even
though it shows up as only eruptions on the face and else where on your
skin. It is a signal that you have problems elsewhere deep within your
body. Acne can be caused by a toxic colon, poor digestion of food, weak
liver and other conditions that cause the blood to carry too much
toxicity.
To clear acne it is not always possible to just do one thing and expect
acne to go away. But it may be possible to just use a special cream and
have your acne diminish or clear.
Acne may go away by just doing one thing but don't expect it to. A
facial cream, diet, herbal treatment, and colon cleanse alone may not be
able to clear acne. A combination may or may not work.

So is there a cure for acne. Well yes and no.
There are many products available and for some they are a cure, for
others they do not help. A cure is only a cure when you find a product
that works for you.
Most acne treatments will take time to work.
It usually takes around 8 weeks before you see any significant
improvement so you are going to have to be patient. Once you’ve got
your acne cleared up it’s important to continue with the treatment
that’s working so it does not return.
If you have serious acne it
is best to consult a dermatologist. However in milder cases you will
often be able to get it under control by yourself just by preservering.
Try these tips to conquer your acne.

system and helps eliminate toxins from the body. It’s a great start to

fresh fruit and vegetables each day. Fresh fruit and vegetables are
full of nutrients that your body needs. They boost the immune system

the acne. Try to avoid refined sugars and fatty foods which have are
not good for you or your skin. You also need to drink at least 8
glasses of water a day to flush your system of toxins.

cosmetics that are water based and hypo-allergenic. Avoid oil free
products, coal tar derivatives, and heavy creams. Make sure you wash
your skin thoroughly every night to remove makeup residue.
Hormones

outbreaks. Your doctor may decide to use HRT to eliminate or reduce
your acne outbreaks.
Clean Skin

scrubbing of your face but you also need to thoroughly clean your skin
nightly. Use a mild cleaning regime every night. Once or twice a week
you should also use an exfoliator to gently remove damaged skin and
unplug pores.
