Let’s talk about acne. 

 It seems so many people world wide suffer from acne. I won’t go into why we get it but rather how we deal with it and propose an effective acne treatment that has shown great results.

If you have acne on your cheek, or along your jaw line, it might be because of your phone. Many people hold the phone without their hands. They use their cheeks, and shoulders instead. The problem here is that phones will eventually pick up dirt and grime. If you hold the phone this way, you are pushing all of that dirt and grime into your skin. You can fix this by holding the phone with your hands, or by investing in a headset.

Over Exfoliation

 Many people exfoliate their skin. This can leave you with beautiful, smooth, moisturized skin. But if you do it too often, you can irritate your skin, and leave red marks instead.  You need to make sure that you only exfoliate when you need to.

Sleeping in make up

How many young women fall into bed after a night out with their makeup on!  I know I used to do it!  It is only now in my late 40′s that I truly understand how bad this habit truly is for your skin!  This can give you dry skin in the morning. This clogs your pores and can give your acne. Make sure you get a good makeup removal product that can make taking your make up off, an easy and fast process every night.

Diet 

Raw food. People who eat a lot of raw food are less likely to have acne. This includes fruits, vegetables, and high fiber items like nuts and seeds. These foods help to improve your digestive system. This will help to clean out your system which can help you with your acne problem.Cut out processed and fatty foods and eliminate sodas completely from your diet as they are riddled with sugar!   Of course drink as much water as you can!

Some people suffer acne only on the face while other suffer acne on the back and chest. If you have acne problems, you may have tried many different acne treatments. It is very important I think to find a product that can help but having said that I would only really suggest a natural product so as not to irritate and inflame the skin anymore than it already is. 

Tamanu Oil as an Effective Acne Treatment

I have been reading a lot about Tamanu Oil lately, it seems not too many people have heard of it but it is being recommended as a natural product receiving excellent results for curing acne and acne scars. Tamanu Oil originates from the Polynesian Island of Vanuatu and was featured on the Dr OZ Show as an excellent ALL NATURAL product working wonders on acne and acne scarring. I like the fact that it’s 100% organic. Pop over to  www.volcanicearth.com.au/how-to-cure-acne.html  and take a look at further information.

Other natural acne products

Another acne product is witch hazel. Witch hazel helps to remove the excess oil from your skin. The excess oil is what causes acne by clogging up your pores. If you apply witch hazel with a swab of cotton, you will even help to eliminate existing acne by fighting the bacteria that is on your skin.

Lemon juice and baking soda are two more natural acne products that will help to dry out your skin. If your skin is very sensitive, you should use baking soda. The citrus from the acid in the lemon will also be beneficial to your skin.

Maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding junk foods are also key to maintaining healthy skin. When we eat junk food, we put chemicals into our bodies. These chemicals are eliminated through our skin. This is one of the reasons that we can get oily skin and pimples.
