Acne Treatment With Home Remedies!

by

Acne is considered to be a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit part of the skin’s immune system and comprising the hair follicle, sebaceous gland and a hair. These units are found on all parts of the body except on palms, top of the feet, soles and lower lip. Pilosebaceous units are found largely on the face, upper neck and chest. The sebum which is produced by the sebaceous glands keeps the skin and the hair moisturized.

Hidden causes of Acne

Stress

Stress can be a major cause of pimples, acne and skin problems

Researchers have proven over years that stress contributes as a major factor for acne breakouts. According to researchers, the steroid hormones like glucocorticoids and adrenal androgens are released due to stress. This can activate the oil glands causing skin pores to clog and finally resulting in acne breakouts. Based on the research, it was also found that college students were affected with more acne during exams.

Carbohydrates
For a different research study, young men were assigned with two 12-week diets of which one group was given carbohydrate-rich diet while the other was given protein-rich diet. Men having protein-rich diet were observed to have lowered the number of pimples twice as much as the ones having carbohydrate-rich diet. This study proved that an increase in insulin could cause inflammation and skin breakouts. So, eating less sugar and eating more whole grains can help in keeping the skin clean and healthy.

First of all, Kate Sommerville’s business philosophy is refreshingly simple, she works to help people look and feel great by developing products that resolve skin problems. She used to suffer from Eczema herself. This is a form of dermatitis which comes from the Greek word for ‘to boil’ (read more about Eczema here) , so understands perfectly how demoralizing and confidence-sapping it can be to face the world with blemished skin or with skin that feels uncomfortably dry and sore. So, for Kate, helping people comes first and the business success has followed – I applaud her!

Why Both Dry and Oily Skins Need Quench Hydrating Serum

Whether your skin is dry or oily, it needs hydration. What people with oily skin often do not realise, is that by trying to rid their skin of excess oil to remove that oily shine, they may be making matters worse if they do not replace the lost moisture. Our skin makes sebum, a natural oil, to moisturise it. When we remove the oil and leave our skin dry, the oil producing glands (sebaceous glands) can go into a sort of ‘over-drive’ in an effort to compensate causing a vicious cycle that escalates if we are not careful.

Lean how to find natural skincare products without chemicals such as parabens that could have long term health effects.

More and more people care about the way they look and want to keep their skin beautiful for as long as possible.

The term ‘growing old gracefully’ no longer means quite what it used to and many of us will now use as many products as we can so that we don’t grow old at all.

With the increase in the number of skincare products we use has come a desire to know what those products contain and awareness that some of the ingredients need to be avoided at all costs.

This is one of the many reasons why so many men and women have decided to use only skincare without parabens.

Your Guide To Choosing Paraben-Free Skincare Products

The first thing to understand is that any skincare that is water based will need a preservative to stop bacterial growth from forming. Parabens are the most common product used for this purpose and have been deemed safe to use in small quantities by the governing bodies. However, it has now been discovered that parabens may actually stay in the body much longer than first thought when absorbed through skincare products and this carries potential risks. So the first thing that you need to do when looking for skincare without parabens is to look for products that are not water based.

If you have a favorite skincare product that you want to change but are unsure if you will be able to find skincare products without parabens that are similar, then visit the website of the manufacturer of your existing product. Many manufacturers have listened to their customers and noticed an increase in the demand for skincare without parabens and are making a natural version of existing products. It may be that they have not yet been taken on by the main supermarkets but if they are making a paraben free version then you will be able to either purchase it directly or find a local outlet that is stocking it.
