John Adison asked the question:


Acne is a condition that affects approximately 20% of adults and 85% of teenagers between the ages of 12 and 24. It is estimated that a whopping 60 million American have active acne. With these numbers it is no surprise that you may be battling acne and pimples at least sometimes.

The sandalwood and rosewater merger can be used as a facial mask, and cab be applied on the acne areas of skin. After making the paste of sandalwood and rosewater, leave it for a few hours. Wear it during the night before taking sleep. Wash your facial areas with water in the next morning. You will feel a sort of breezy and comfort about your pimples.

Drink plenty of water – Water is one of the best things you can consume, especially when it comes to getting rid of pimples and reducing the chance of them coming back, you should drink around one and a half litres of water per day, no more, no less.

Mild acne is a simple condition of the skin, minor as seen by the name. As for severe and moderate acne, it can not be cured over night. It takes usually three weeks to three months to see some form of improvement. I have theories that for moderate and severe acne food does have an affect but for mild forms of acne it does not. If you use these steps you will notice mild acne will be gone within one to three days in a majority of cases.

Another way to cure pimples is to drink water. There are a lot of toxins that are in your bloodstream, which will cause you to breakout. So, when you drink plenty of water, you are able to flush out the toxins from your body. You should drink at least 8 cups of water.

Acne can be hereditary, but having it run in your family does not mean you cannot live a more natural lifestyle and control it to a great degree. If it is not hereditary for you, it is probably an issue with hormones which cause the glands under your skin to release too much oil. This oil clumps together with bacteria and skin cells around the base of a hair follicle at the deepest layer of the skin, and pimples are the result.

Keep your surface skin clean with a mild soap. The harsh cleansers you see in the store should be avoided because they also contain chemicals that will deplete your skin of nourishment and moisture, leading to dry skin. It is best to wash with your hands in a gentle motion, since scrubbing with a rag can irritate skin, especially if you have an outbreak.

Elizabeth Mcmillan asked the question:


Many people experience acne not only as youths, or during puberty, but well into their adult years. Often, many individuals, especially women, don’t experience acne breakouts, pimples, or hormonal blemishes into their 20s and 30s. Plagued by recently developed acne, many people simply don’t know where to turn. What has caused their acne to develop? Only one reason—your body’s production of sebum has begun to change and this can occur at any point in life—not just during adolescence. But, don’t be dismayed, there is hope for you spur of acne, pimples, breakouts, and blemishes. Even if you are experiencing larger pores, whiteheads, papules, or blackheads, you can control your acne by doing natural things to regulate your body’s sebum (oil) production. If you do not regulate your body’s sebum (oil) production internally; unfortunately, your white blood cells will respond to the sebum by trying to release it from your body; unfortunately, your pores will be the dumping system of choice. As a result, you will have acne. Here are a few tips to help you regulate your sebum production:

1) Flush your system on a weekly basis. I know we all hate to discuss things such as this, but do you remember your mom and grandparents always bugging you to keep your system clean? I do. Well, those same people had some good points because they had a lot less acne and pimples than we do. How can you flush? Drink pineapple and prune juice. Yes, prune juice is disgusting, but it will alleviate excess sebum, toxins, and waste from your body that may trigger acne breakouts. Beat the sebum and toxins from getting to your pores. You can purchase prune juice or pineapple juice at your local grocer. WalMart actually makes a prune juice that contains no preservatives, which is a shocking plus, considering it is WalMart.

2) Use All-Natural Skin Care Products. Many people are unaware that they have allergic reactions to their personal care products due to the chemicals in them. Parabens, often used preservatives in skin and hair care products, are known cancer-causing agents. The Cosmetic and Toiletry Association identified sulfates and glycols as skin irritants and DEA has been found to cause cancer, nausea, vomiting, skin irritation, and a host of other problems. While you will have to cleanse your skin to get rid of your acne, you don’t have to place more chemicals on it that will aggravate your acne and blemishes or rip your outer layer of skin. A recent study conducted by a beauty magazine, ranked Beauty 4 Ashes ® Naturally Clear Acne System and Aubrey Organics ® (www.aubreyorganics.com) as two natural skin care choices that can help acne. Beauty 4 Ashes ® Naturally Clear System actually ranked very high, (4.5 out of 5 stars) cited for its ability to lighten acne scars and reduce pimple and pore size quickly. The Beauty 4 Ashes ® Naturally Clear System (wwwdiscoverb4acom) contains citrus fruits, essential fatty acids, sebum controlling essential oils, natural astringents, green tea, aloe vera, and many other ingredients that have been clinically proven to reduce acne. Because of its ability to control sebum production it was noted as a top choice between natural and synthetic acne products for adult and teen acne.

3) Take Your Vitamins. Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and Essential Fatty Acids have been proven to have a beneficial effect on creating, clear, healthy, balanced skin. Vitamin C has also been shown to lighten acne scars and fight infections, while Essential Fatty Acids have been shown to detox the body and cleanse the system. Take Vitamin C and Essential Fatty Acids on a daily basis. Natrol ® makes a great Vitamin C tablet and surprisingly, Dr. Atkins makes a great Essential Fatty Acids pill. You can both online at wwwdrugstorecom or you can check your local CVS pharmacy.

4) Drink water sweetened with lemon juice, Splenda ®, and apple cider vinegar. Yes, I know this sounds awful, but both lemon juice and apple cider vinegar are known to balance the skin’s PH and detoxify your system. Add as much Splenda® as necessary to make this tolerable. All you need is ½ teaspoon of both in 1 cup of water 1-2 times a day for this to be effective. Your acne and acne scars will improve. Your skin will also become clearer, more even toned, and firmer overall. It is just the price you pay for naturally fighting blemishes and pimples without harming your skin with the additional chemicals and acids in traditional acne medications, such as Proactiv, Retin-A, and Accutane (but, don’t be mistaken, these will work for some individuals).

You have acne, you have pimples, don’t you get alarmed. This is the first step of your acne treatment. You can be cured to your satisfaction. But, do recognize the time factor in every type of acne treatment. By hastening the cure, you will spoil your case.

Every one, at some stage of the life, has to experience pimples and acne. If everybody gets it, it can’t be a disease as such! Don’t let your ignorance score over you, when you decide to mitigate your own suffering on account of acne. In reality, acne is the part of your growth. You have attained the age of puberty. You observe changes in many areas of your body. Skin forming like wounds and cysts is part of that change.

Acne is such a universal spread, it invites universal discussions. For, majority think that washing face a number of times in a day is the fitting answer to acne. This is a clear cut example, how the majority opinion can go wrong. Overdo the wash, and you cause more damage to your face. Soaps irritate the skin to the bottom, the roots of the hair, and in case the quality of the soap you use is substandard you are inviting more troubles.

So, when you have pimples, restrict the number of face washes to two. How do you wash the face? Be kind, it is your face, and it deserves a quality cleanser instead of hard soaps. Some foul changes such as dead skin cells inside the skin have caused this acne attack, and on the top of it, if you are harsh to the surface of the skin, you are going to damage your cause.

Popping the pimples is the most unwanted action that is expected of you. Do you think that they will vanish by this threatening act of yours? You are providing the ground for infection to spread and the bacteria will find an easy way to get into the inner realms of the skin.

Tanning in the sunlight can be tolerated, but it can not be accepted as total treatment to acne. Sunlight does kill bacteria. But if due to the intensity of the tanning, skin cells die out, your efforts to get rid of acne through this method, can turn counter productive.

Diet is a factor in acne, but what are its limitations? Healthy and delicious food is good for the body in all conditions, acne or no acne. Any type of food does not cause acne as such! Go ahead with your favorite chocolates, and hamburger!

You need to take extra care about your cleanliness as well. There is no doubt about the fact that a spread of bacteria is the cause of acne and pimples. Therefore, take care about the basic conditions that support the spread of acne. Wash your hair properly, if you have long hair.

Androgen, the dominant male hormone is credited with causing acne among the boys.

Acne is not contagious. Don’t avoid your best friend, just because he is having acne. He can’t give it you. Learn and know more facts about acne. When you know what the basis of acne is, you get peace of mind and can afford to live without much concern to its arrival.

Eileen Childs asked the question:


Don’t pick, squeeze, pop, push, press or otherwise manipulate your pimples in any way. Doing this can not only increase the risk of spreading bacteria, but it can also cause you to have permanent scarring. There are a number of healthy things you can do to fight acne and pimples instead.

1. Try over the counter acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide up to twice a day. This will help decrease the amount of bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide comes in different concentrations. You should start out with lower concentrations to reduce drying of the skin. If necessary, you can move to higher concentrations later. Use a moisturizer for acne to keep skin hydrated.

2. Wash your face once or twice per day, using a mild soap. For oily skin you should use a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide.

3. Have you noticed a concentration of acne on the side of your face or cheek? Change your pillow case frequently. A clean pillow case will decrease the chance of spreading bacteria.

4. Don’t use any hard brushes, sponges or cleansers on your face. It can damage your skin.

5. Avoid oil based facial products. Opt for make-up that is water based. Certain make-ups even have oil absorbing qualities. The ones with sunscreen will also help protect your skin.

6. If you use a concealer, buy one that contains acne fighting ingredients.

7. Try not to touch your face with your hands. This can encourage the spread of bacteria.

8. Drink plenty of water and eat a healthy balanced diet. Pay attention to see if certain foods cause breakouts.

9. Vitamins A, C and E as well as Iron work well in fighting acne and can be purchased at your local drug store. Vitamin E can also help repair scarring, either by taking it orally or applying it directly to the affected area.

10. If you take birth control, ask your doctor to prescribe one that helps deter acne.

11. Honey has a natural antimicrobial action and has been used to fight acne for a long time. Try a honey mask!

12. Moderate exercise will help blood flow and the elimination of toxins.

13. Spend some time outside. Vitamin D from the sun helps reduce acne. Just don’t over do it. You don’t want to get sun burn.

14. Reduce stress that can cause acne flair ups. Spend time with friends, exercise, take a walk in the park, listen to music or take a yoga class.

There are no magic solutions to get rid of acne, but eating right, drinking plenty of water, reducing stress and using proper skin care will help a lot.

Erick Christopher asked the question:


What causes acne breakouts?, Worldwide, is estimated that 60 million people suffer from acne. Acne is a major skin problem that affects people all over the world. Please keep reading to learn more about causes of acne and pimples. I did some research and here are the answer that I came up with.

Common Causes Of Acne and Pimples

1) Food We Eat -Some people are likely to have acne outbreak with some diets like carbohydrates and sugars. Consuming a diet high in oils, fats and sugars can interfere with your hormonal balance. These types of foods are known to cause acne breakouts. A good diet for your skin should include fruits, vegetables, skim milk, cottage cheese and lean meats. Oily foods are also what causes acne breakouts.

2) Androgen Body Hormones -These are sex hormones and research shows that they rank to be the top of what causes acne breakouts. These hormones begin during puberty and this is the reason why most individuals who are affected by acne are young people or teens. During menstruation or pregnancy, women tend to have more of these Androgen hormones and this explains why pregnant women or a woman who is on her menstrual cycle is more likely to have pimples on her face or sometimes called facial acne outbreaks.

3) Personal Stress Is What Causes Acne Breakouts -Yes stress causes acne outbreaks. Stress is related to production hormones like cortisol which has been known to cause acne. When a person is stressed out, their body develops different hormone levels. With these hormone changes, the body starts to produce more oil to the skin. White heads, black heads and pimples types of acnes are caused by these oils on the skin.

4) Heavy Makeups, Oily Makeups/Cosmetics -Heavy makeups are not good for your skin. They cause clogging of pores and adds more oil to your skin. Is even more worse when someone put heavy makeups on their oily existing skin! Moisturizers or cosmetics contains more than one chemical like vegetable oils, alcohol, petrolatum and acids which contribute to causes of acne and pimples.

5) Steroids and Specific Medications -It is wise to stop overusing vitamins. Vitamins are essential to our skin but overusing them can cause acne. Examples of such vitamins are B1, B6 and B12. Abuse or inappropriate use of steroids, especially anabolic steroids can lead to acne breakouts because they stimulate sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands present in the skin secrete a substance called sebum into hair follicles and most of the skin.

6) Doing Harsh and Rough Cleansing -Avoid harsh and rough cleansing to your skin especially on the face. The facial skin is extremely sensitive to rough cleansing, it can easily be damaged. This kind of cleansing can damage the skin layers and spread infections. When cleansing your skin, use lukewarm water. Water that is too hot can dehydrate your skin and too cold can dry your skin. This is also what causes acne breakouts, Take it easy when doing skin cleansing.

7) Picking and squeezing of the skin plus squeezing and Environmental issues -High humidity causes the skin to swell and pollution of the environment can cause clogging of your pores. Avoid picking and squeezing pimples or acne outbreaks as this can send infections deeper into the skin and cause scarring.

Hereditary Factors Is What Causes Acne Breakouts-As I said earlier some causes of acne are inevitable. This is a good example of a cause of acne that we can’t avoid. Acne can be inherited and some serious acne causes such as Cystic acne do come from heredity like through family members such as our parents and grandparents.

9) Extra Sebum in the Follicle -When androgens stimulates sebaceous gland, it produces extra sebum which mixes with dead skin cells and skin bacteria. This is a normal process but excess sebum in the follicle increases the chances of clogging and acne. There are things that can lead to production of excess sebum like anabolic steroids.

Causes of acne and pimples both include external and Internal factors. There are many other causes of acne and pimples but these are just the major reasons. The best way to deal with what causes acne breakouts is skin hygiene and a good diet. Medications that you take also must be watched out in case of sudden acne breakouts. If you have serious acne problems, I highly recommend that you see a dermatologist. So these are the major causes of acne and pimples. Remember that prevention is better than cure and if you have to treat your acne, Don’t forget to prevent it from coming back.

Acne is an inflammatory skin problem that is visualized by pimples on the face, chest and or back. The problem affects 20% of women. It occurs when the pores of the skin become blocked with oil, dead cells or bacteria.

The most common form of acne is Acne vulgaris. When the oil glands in the skin secretes excessive oils and combines with dead cells, then it blocks the hair follicles. The oil secretions under the skin pores that are clogged provide an environment where the acne causing bacteria multiples. Diet can affect acne. Red meats, sugar, white flour and dairy products can trigger the problem more.

Acne causes scars in the skin. This may lead to some psychological problems. However, there are effective treatment methods available to control acne. Natural skin care products help reducing acne to a great extent. Products containing Aloe Vera gel helps in rejuvenating the skin. It helps to detoxify the skin and thus reduces the inflammation that can produce acne.

In order to get rid of acne completely, the skin needs to be hydrated. Essential moisture in the skin prevents blocked pores. Drinking plenty of water and taking fresh fruits and vegetables can help preserve the moisture in the skin.

Many skin care products available in the market contain harsh chemicals that can aggravate the acne skin disorder. Skin care products containing natural fruit and vegetable extracts can help reducing the acne problems. These products provide crucial anti-oxidants and thereby defend the skin against acne.

It is advisable to cleanse your skin thoroughly with anti-microbial cleanser before applying any cream. It is important not to scrub the skin since scrubbing may increase the acne problem. In fact, skin gets irritated while scrubbing and it tends to produce more oil. This makes the acne condition worse. After drying the skin well with a clean towel, you can apply the cream.

So vigorous washing of the face to get rid of acne is a myth. Actually it would make things worse. Washing your face with harsh soaps can possibly lead to a further irritation of the tissue.

There is a special school of thought that believes that acne is caused due to stress. Well the research conducted on the same indicates that stress alone is not a factor that contributes to the development of acne but may aggravate the condition further.

Acne can linger for many years and may become worse. It should not be let run its course and should be properly treated once the source is clearly identified. There are special soaps called the acne soaps which can be used by all patients suffering from this problem. This soap is very powerful in removing the dirt, impurities and any other type of infection. There are variety of acne soaps that are available in the market.

Mike Bernard asked the question:


People who gets acne, spends lots of money on over the counter products or prescription medications regardless of sufferer’s age. Some got rid of their acne and pimples by using these products and some got their condition worst. Medical science does not believe on natural remedies but many people are out there who got rid of their acne by using natural resources. In fact all over the counter products and prescription medication are designed with these natural resources.

There are many ways which you can follow at home to control your acne or pimples problems. From these natural ways, many are rejected by medical science and research but as many people get rid of their problem by doing these then you can try them as well. It will not cost you much money in fact these remedies are easily available and very cheap in prices. These natural remedies are following:

Diet and Acne:

As medical science do not accept any relation between diet and acne. But we know very well that healthy diet is very important for our health. So why we take risk? We should avoid all those greasy and oily food and junk foods as they do not only affect your skin but they harm your heart and other organs as well and causes heart disease. Balance diet includes every available food but in moderate quantity even you can eat this oily and greasy and junk food as well but not regularly. Try to include more fruits and vegetables in your diet and less meat and other greasy and oily food.

Water and Acne:

Your skin contains lots of toxins which causes acne. These toxins are pushed out from the skin by the help of water. If you don’t drink enough amounts of water then your body starts dehydrating and toxins will remain in your skin causes acne. 7 to 8 glasses of water are considered standard amount of water which every person needs daily.

Make-Up and Acne:

Many make up products cause acne as well. If you have acne or oily skin, you should use non comedogenic make up products. The term “non-comedogenic” used for those products which are specially designed to control oil of your skin. These products do not harm your skin.

Some natural Remedies:

Ben Levanger asked the question:


Acne and pimples affect most of the teenagers, and sometimes even adults. Most of the conventional treatments that use chemicals and drugs have severe side effects. Therefore, it is ideal for acne pimple natural treatment, which will turn out to be effective and also cheaper.

Apply a thin layer of coconut oil on the pimple and massage it deep into the skin. Make sure that the pimple does not break out. This application will sooth and heal the affected area. This activity can be repeated several times a day and before going to bed to ensure a healthy and good skin.

Make sure to drink plenty of water and add fruits that contain natural fibers to your diet. A combination of raw apple sauce from two or three apples and two tablespoons of ground flaxseeds is ideal. A diet with fruits and vegetables without any junk food can show considerable improvement in your skin within one month. Raw nuts and seeds, fresh and dried fruits such as dates and figs are highly fibrous and should be included in the diet.

A paste made from fenugreek leaves can be applied at bed time and washed off with warm water in the morning to prevent acne and pimples. Tea tree oil is good for acne pimple natural treatment Tea tree oil combined with a few drops of water should be applied with a cotton pad twice a day. Table salt is another cost effective alternative for treating pimples. Wash your face with cold water first and then apply table salt mixed with water by slight rubbing. Let it stay for ten minutes and wash off with cold water.

Get some fresh basil leaves and allow them to simmer in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes. Keep this mix in the refrigerator to chill. Apply this mix to the acne using a cotton ball twice a day. Among the other natural remedies for acne pimple natural treatment, eucalyptus oil and neem leaves are also included. All these cures are good, but there are a lot of people that have a problem following, or finding these items to get their cure. That is why I always use a program which has easy step by step instruction so that clients can get clear skin. Having clear skin is probably one of the most important aspects of someones life, without clear skin, your only ice skating with one skate.
