Acne Cure

There are two types of honey that are thought to be good for acne, pimples and skin breakout. Manuka honey and Raw honey.
Manuka honey is the honey that is extracted from pollen in Manuka bushes found in New Zealand and Australia, these are also known as tea tree bushes.

Manuka honey has anti-microbial qualities that are stronger than raw honey due to the enzyme methylglyoxal. This enzyme is present in all honey however in Manuka honey there is up to a hundred times more of the methylglyoxal enzyme than in other honey. It is also always unprocessed, therefore only ever contains pure manuka honey. The down side to this however is although it is incredible for the skin, immune system and health, it is also considerably more expensive than other raw honey.

Raw honey is simply the purified nectar, that is produced by the honey bees after collecting the nectar from flowers and so forth. It contains no chemicals and additives, nor is it pasteurized. When looking for honey it is very important that you look for raw or untreated honey as this will not have been heated, thus it will still contain all of its natural nutrients and healing elements. This will therefore give the best possible results for your skin and acne.
There are many ways in which either Manuka or Raw honey can be applied in order to alleviate symptoms of acne.

1. To simply apply raw honey to your acne, use your fingers or a cotton wool ball to apply the honey on to your skin, it can be applied either just on your pimples or on the whole of your face. If your acne is severe do this every day, otherwise once or twice a week is fine.
2. You could add cinnamon to the honey. Cinnamon also contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidants in it naturally also. Therefore, by doubling it up with honey you have twice as much effectiveness in dealing with acne breakouts. This can be done by adding one teaspoon of cinnamon powder to two tablespoons of honey and applying it to the face as a mask and washing it off with warm water after approximately fifteen minutes.
3. Another effective ingredient to use with honey is strawberries. Strawberries contain high levels of antioxidants especially vitamin C, they are also a major defense against free radicals which can cause acne breakouts. Therefore, you can combat by eating lots of antioxidant enriched foods such as strawberries and combine them with ingredients such as honey in order to cleanse the skin. This can be done by combining the puree of 4 strawberries and mix it with 3 tablespoons of honey in order to make an antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory enriched mask.
4. Combining honey and salt together can be a great way of combating the pain and symptoms of acne breakouts. Whereas the honey works as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial combining it with salt can also pull any toxins from on or beneath the skin which will also help relieve any inflammation and also leave your skin toxin free. It also has a pain killing element to it and can be used as an exfoliant which will remove any excess skin, debris and dead skin cells from the face without aggravating the acne breakout. For this you should add two teaspoons of salt to 2 teaspoons of honey to create the perfect acne mask. Optionally you can also add a few drops of vanilla or a sprinkle of cocoa to make it smell nice, or some coffee granules for extra exfoliation. This is simply gently scrubbed on to the skin and massaged for 3 minutes then rinsed off.
5. You can also follow the above steps but use brown sugar instead of salt. Sugar is a very gentle way of incorporating a scrub onto the face, for skin that is prone to breakouts. It melts quickly and easily and therefore you will avoid over scrubbing your face, which will in turn cause more problems to your skin and should therefore be avoided. For this mask use one teaspoon of brown sugar to two teaspoons of honey.

The most important thing for your acne is finding the right treatment for you, as ultimately if your skin is happy then you will be happy.

Garlic and especially raw garlic is an incredible source of most of the vitamins that are needed in order to fight cystic acne. For instance, vitamin B6, vitamin C, selenium and zinc are all contained in garlic. Thus the reasons that garlic is good for cystic acne include:

• It has great anti-inflammatory properties that will help reduce swelling , pain and redness of the skin.
• Due to the allicin element of garlic, it acts as an antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic and antiviral. It is definitely something you will want in your corner.
• It allows for better blood circulation which in turn allows your skin tissues to receive all of the nutrients and so forth that it needs.
• The oil within garlic can also help with insulin sensitivity which is often found in cystic acne.
• Garlic has  antioxidant elements that help fight against free radicals that cause damage to the skin
• Garlic helps enhance the immune system… which can only be a good thing.

As with everything, there are many ways of using garlic in order to treat acne. Below you will find some ways of incorporating it into skin care regimes. Readers, please be aware that putting garlic directly on the skin may cause some burning but this normal and will subside after a short amount of time. However, if you decide it is not for you there are plenty of other options that you will find on the site.

Garlic Cloves

Take 3 garlic cloves and peel and mince them and apply this directly to the affected area. Leave on only for a few minutes, wash off with cold water and pat dry. Apply moisturizer afterwards. This should be repeated regularly for the best results.

Garlic with Water

To cure cystic acne, crush 3 garlic cloves and mix with at least one tablespoon of water, apply the mixture directly to the affected area and leave overnight. In the morning wash off with water and pat dry. Repeat regularly.

Garlic with Yogurt

For this method, you should wash your face before application. Blend 4 garlic cloves to make a paste and add one tablespoon of yogurt. Stir it well and apply to all affected areas, whilst massaging it into the skin, after this leave it to dry, then rinse with water and pat dry.
You can also use this method to consume the garlic and to let it work its magic from inside out. In order to do this, you should crush a few garlic cloves and add it to ½ teaspoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of yogurt and then consume.

Garlic with Olive Oil to Cure Cystic Acne

You can also consume this mixture by adding a tablespoon of the mixture to water and drinking it once a day, in order to get the benefits internally as well as externally.

Garlic and Egg White For Cystic Acne Removal

These two ingredients will compliment each other perfectly as egg whites are full of nutrients and proteins which will help skin looking healthy and feeling great. For this method, you should peel and slice a few cloves of garlic and rub them directly onto the affected acne areas. Leave it at least 5 minutes for the garlic to dry before applying whipped egg whites to the face, concentrating on the problematic areas. Allow this to dry completely before rinsing with lukewarm water. Repeat it daily for the best results.
You can also purchase some garlic oil to put directly onto the skin to help with acne however this isn’t a good idea if you suffer from sensitive skin.
As well as helping with acne breakouts, garlic is also good for helping with the appearance of scarring. It can be combined with olive oil and honey or just boiled and applied to the face.

For the garlic, olive oil and honey you should grate 2 cloves of garlic and mix it with water and then apply to troublesome areas, massaging gently before rinsing off after 5 minutes. Then crush 2 more cloves of garlic and add it to 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix well and apply to problematic areas, leave on for approximately 25 minutes and then rinse off.
For boiled garlic simply boil 250 ml of water and add 5 crushed garlic cloves, simmer for half an hour or so and then when cooled apply it to the affected area, leave it to dry and then wash off with water.

Acne and its treatment have baffled both scientist and the lay person for many years. On the face of it (no pun intended) it should be fairly easy to treat but even for people that have the most rigorous facial routines and medication breakouts keep happening, and now scientists think they have found the reason. Free radicals and I don’t mean a group of acne protesters.

What are Free Radicals?

Free Radicals are molecules that are essentially unleashed by ultraviolet light such as sunshine, and also by air pollution which create havoc to the human skin. These everyday environmental factors cause the oxygen within the environment to separate and form free oxygen radicals. These free radicals can destroy collagen, create dark spots, damage DNA and are now believed to be detrimental in the progression of acne and acne breakouts. It is believed that this occurs from the free radicals causing a certain inflammation to the skin which blocks pores trapping any dirt, bacteria, debris and dead skin cells within the pore which causes a pimple outbreak.

In simple terms oxygen is the Romeo that is constantly searching for his Juliet, a tragic romantic always looking to be part of the perfect pair, however when this can not be found, the oxygen molecule attaches itself to the human skin instead, and what does this molecule give your skin in return? Nothing it just destroys the essential fibers within the skin that keep it supple and firm.

Generally, throughout life you cannot escape having free radical trauma to your skin and body in general unless you spend you like hibernating in the dark. Whether you have acne or not wherever there are healthy cells you will also find less healthier cells. However, if our skin has more unhealthy than healthy cells then our skin is prone to problems such as aging quicker and pimple breakouts as over time the cells become more dehydrated, increasingly inflamed and less able to heal itself.
Plainly thinking free radicals scratch away at the walls of cells and at an individual’s DNA until eventually it causes the untimely death of that cell. This is not an overnight process however, it happens progressively overtime throughout every organ, consequently causing three things to happen throughout the body.

• Collagen fibers are attacked by the free radical cell essentially breaking the collagen fibers.
• The function of cell barriers decreases which ultimately affects how all the molecules can flow into and out of the cell. This in turn allows less oxygen and nutrients into the cell which then in turn causes the cells consequential death.
• The hydration of skin reduces as the cells struggle to retain water. Therefore, it becomes frequently easier for water to be released into the atmosphere from the skin.

Some of the main factors that are thought to increase free radical cells are

• Harsh/ heavily chemical based skin care products
• Pollution
• Sunlight/ UV lights
• Smoking
• Drugs
• Illness
• Pregnancy (due to hormone levels)
• Stress/busy lifestyles

Therefore, in order to maximize your healthy skin and to prevent breakouts you should choose a healthy skin care range. It is essential that you check labels for example I recently brought a vitamin E moisturizing cream and it contained parabens for instance, thus really be critical when you purchase skin care products. To get the best of all worlds you should focus on the purity of the product, the ingredients used in the product and also be aware that the ingredients although they often sound good may not be effective in transposing through the skin and hydrating at a deep level.
Therefore, to get the best from your skincare range and avoid damage from free radicals you need to incorporate

• A good sun cream, this should be applied everyday even if you feel the weather is not particularly glorious, it is surprising how many people catch a suntan on a cloudy day, be sun-ray aware.
• Use products that contain vitamin A to reduce irritation and encourage reproduction of healthy cells.
• Use creams rich in antioxidants especially vitamin C.
• Use chemical free skin care products to reduce inflammation and trauma.
• Use a greatly effective cleanser that is based on lactic acid for instance in order to hydrate and promote healing of the top layers of skin which in turn will enable a proactive role.

The most important thing to remember is that free radicals sound intense and scary, however by following advice and taking care of your skin it should not affect your acne breakouts too horrendously and what does occur will be manageable.

Acne Vulgaris breakouts can happen any time and anywhere, it is indiscriminate and normally happens for no obvious reason. However, by using some simple home acne treatment with everyday objects such as honey, apple cider vinegar and garlic, you can give your skin a boost and reduce the symptoms of your acne.

Therefore in this article, the home remedy that shall be discussed is Aloe Vera.

1. It absorbs any excess oil from the skin, preventing clogging of the pores.
2. Aloe Vera is an antioxidant which naturally contains Vitamin , Vitamin E and Zinc all of this are good for the skin.
3. When used as an astringent, it helps to contract the skin consequently rendering the pores of the skin completely clean and clear of bacteria, dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells.
4. Aloe Vera naturally contains hormones such as polysaccharides which contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory elements in order to combat target areas of the skin.
5. This plant helps target redness and inflammation caused by the acne pimples.
6. It is enriched in amino acids and carbohydrates.

Also known as nodulocystic acne, cystic acne is a severe and excruciating form of the acne family. It is a form of acne that sadly will not get better by itself, however, a lot of people are shying away from modern medicine and therefore are looking for more natural, homoeopathic and holistic treatments in order to help alleviate the discomfort. Therefore, in this article, you will find some of the tried and tested natural treatments or tips that have actually helped cystic pimples.

Ice Ice Baby

You don’t get much more natural than ice, right? and believe it or not, ice can be really helpful on the battle against cystic acne and can help reduce pain too. By placing an ice cube directly on to the pimples for a few seconds it will constrict the blood vessels within the cyst, therefore reducing pain and redness within the breakout.
Snore Zone
A thing that a lot of acne sufferers do not consider is that there are certain household items that touch their skin for long periods of time, such as bedding, sheets and towels. Therefore, in order to help your skin you should avoid washing these in harsh chemical based detergents, instead, you should opt for natural laundry detergents that are unscented and have no chemicals in them, of which there are numerous to choose some on the market.

Regular changing of all bedding, towels and so forth will also help stop dirt and bacteria spreading which also aid the treatment of acne.

Calming Skin Routine

Obtaining and maintaining a good skin cleansing regime is an essential treatment for acne. Making sure that you are cleaning your skin with a gentle cleansing facial wash and moisturising with a sensitive moisturiser that is oil – free and contains no scenting chemicals.

Beauty is not only skin deep

Try not to obsess over your skin, I know it is easier said than done but believe me if you can get into this mindset it will be better in the long term for your skin. It is a natural human instinct if you are looking at something like a spot and so forth in a mirror then the more inclined you will be to pick and squeeze it. Due to the sheer depth of the cysts, picking and squeezing the pimples will have little to no effect and could potentially just make the break out worse by cross-contaminating it with more pus, bacteria and dirt. On s cosmetic level picking the pimples will just make them more aggravated, red and sore and will also run the risk of obtaining scarring from the picked pimples.

Relaxing is so important

It sounds ridiculous but by relaxing you can actually be helping your cystic pimple outbreaks.
As it seems to be with everything, stress can make acne outbreaks worse, whether you’re stressing about work, school, exams, or something else completely unrelated to acne it will still go straight to the outbreak and make the pimples flare up and become aggravated.
Therefore, an important natural remedy for acne is to find a way to de-stress and relax whether it is listening to music, playing sport, meeting friends or something simple like reading, whatever it is find what works for you and make it work for your skin.

Sleeping Beauty

Along with the importance of relaxation, sleep is a major natural way to help cystic acne. Getting a great night’s sleep can increase wellbeing and help balance out hormone levels both of which will help breakouts of cystic pimples, whilst also giving them time to heal.

Regular exercise

Regular exercise can benefit the human body tenfold. As well as improving and maintaining overall wellbeing it can also help to detoxify the toxins out of the body

Using essential oils

There are some oils that are good for skin breakouts and in particular, lavender and tea tree oil are incredible for cystic acne and it comes in many different forms. The most effective way would be to apply a couple of drops directly to the area.

Trying the cystic acne diet

There are so many diet crazes and fads out there, however, this is not one of them. it simply concentrates on the foods that you should try to avoid and the foods that you should consume a lot of. For instance, you should avoid fatty and fast food but consume lots of zinc rich and protein-rich foods. This diet will be covered in detail in another article.

Acne can be a nightmare however with some patience and willing participation, trying these natural remedies may help it become nothing but a distant dream.

In this day and age, mental health is a massive issue, as recently as 60 to 70 years ago it was a taboo subject that was not to be spoken about or brought into the public’s attention in any way. These days that has all changed and mental health is not only talked about but embraced, with a fervent quest to try to bolster people’s wellbeing and mental health in order for them to live a great life without the anxiety, stress, and despair that mental health can bring, and for acne sufferers that is no different.

There is nothing good about acne, it’s painful, irritable and unsightly. A lot of people complain when they get one pimple and cause a tremendous fuss, however, for acne sufferers, an outbreak can literally floor them. Hence why depression is a common side effect of acne. Everyone has insecurities and things they don’t like about themselves, however with people who suffer from acne they cannot hide it and so the effects this has on their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth are tenfold. It is a vicious cycle they suffer from a breakout, this makes them emotional and full of anxiety, this then causes stress and hormone levels to go up which in turn affects their skin and so the cycle continues.

Suffering from acne can create acute psychological and social effects on an individual. Anyone can have these effects whether they are suffering from mild, moderate or severe classifications of acne. If it makes that individual feel bad then it will impact their mental health. Acne and its effects both physically and mentally can affect anyone at any age, however, the most at risk group is the adolescent and young adult age group.

Many teenagers who come across acne during puberty are especially susceptible to social and psychological effects. This will occur at a time when their development is critical, they are just starting to learn about themselves, who they are, develop an identity and develop a personality. This is a time when peer groups are everything, and peer acceptance and peer status is the most critical thing for a teenager. Therefore in this article, it will explain some of the pointers that someone is going through a social or psychological crisis.

Self-esteem, Body Image, and confidence issues

A lot of teenagers will find it hard to keep or even maintain eye contact, this is down to them not liking the way they look and not wanting to see someone else acknowledging how they look. For that same reason, girls may also grow their hair long and wear it over their face to ‘hide’ their features or wear heavy makeup as they think this is covering it. Body shame can also stop them partaking in sports and so forth if the pimples are on their bodies as well as their face.

Education/work

Some teenagers will refuse to go to school, leading to poor attendance and poor performance. Many acne sufferers also call in sick to work if they have had a breakout or they are embarrassed, which causes numerous problems, and could risk their employment. They can be turned down for jobs for not having the right look for instance, while the condition itself limits career choices as there are certain jobs that would not be open to them such as acting, modelling and so forth. There is also a high unemployment rate with people that have acne than that don’t.

Social withdrawal

For anyone with body issues and low self-esteem, it is hard to form friendships and relationships with people, however, people with acne find it a lot harder. It takes a lot of confidence to start and form a relationship with someone and therefore acne sufferers find it harder. Especially as, we all know, children are cruel and so they will be dealing with constant cruel taunts and remarks from people, which will only fuel their self-loathing.

The time that most teenagers are suffering from and dealing with acne is the time that those self- image and identity lessons begin when they work out who they are and what they want from life. However, teenagers with acne maybe shy away from this environment and be reclusive rather than get negative comments off of anyone.

We all know someone who has or is suffering from a skin condition so just remember to be kind, it is the inside of a person that counts.

Whiteheads otherwise known as closed comedones are a type of acne vulgaris similar to blackheads except they appear as small white or yellow lumps that are formed under the surface of a closed pore as opposed to being in an open pore. Individuals that suffer from excessive sebum production and have overactive sebaceous glands are more prone to whiteheads and this is primarily due to hormonal changes or genetic factors. In consequence, whitehead pimples are more prevalent in individuals with acne prone skin as the cells that line those individuals’ skins are sticky and on the grounds of this, they promote pore blockage.

There are a lot of household items that you will have lying around, that could be easily implemented and utilized into treatment for the relief of whiteheads.
