Had Enough Of Acne? Lets Face it, acne, as superficial as it may seem to those who don't suffer from it is a very serious condition.
It takes it's toll on the sufferer mentally and physically, crippling confidence and scarring the skin of the victim.
Those who have acne feel self conscious, their social life suffers and the condition also renders the person less attractive to the opposite sex, and all this usually takes place during the teenage and early twenties-the best years of a persons life! There is however help out there.
For a start there is the family GP or doctor, it is often the case that they will dismiss your case as being down to age and hormones.
If you are one of the lucky ones though you may be prescribed drugs for your acne, many of these have very unsavoury side effects though which can become a problem all of their own.
By far the best approach to treating acne is a holistic or natural approach, home remedies using natural and over the counter products and utilising simple changes in lifestyle.
The basics of which include a zinc rich diet, fresh air and a cool sleeping environment.
Another tip which may seem counter-intuitive is not to try and scrub your skin clean, in fact washing the face once a day or less allows the good natural oils to accrue in the skin and actually help to heal spots faster, speeding up the dry, peeling red aftermath of the pustule itself.
It has been discovered that applying a common product found in most homes can in most cases reduce the healing time to just 2 days!
