milk acne

No matter what your grandmother said, there is no food that causes acne. The foods you eat are not responsible for you having acne. True. Fried foods do not cause acne, no more than soft drinks or chocolate. There are, of course, who disagree with this assessment.

The "authorities" say that the refined sugar contributes to the severity of an acne outbreak, and substituting honey or sugar substitutes can help reduce the length and severity of the epidemic. Basically, there is no real scientific evidence that I can find to confirm this theory, but replacing refined sugar with another sweetener is a healthy thing to do, whether it actually contributes to the problem acne or not.

I also found "experts" who say that all the oil in nuts and peanuts in particular, should be completely avoided by those who suffer from acne. This includes avoiding peanut butter. (I thought the peanut butter have been one of the four food groups). However, if there is a chance that it will help, I'd go the extra mile and avoid nuts during an acne outbreak.

Cow's milk, by selected should also be avoided entirely by those who suffer acne. Now it makes some sense to me. Cow's milk comes from cows that have just given birth to a calf. Their milk is loaded with progesterone. Progesterone is known to cause acne. No low-fat milk and fat just as much progesterone that whole milk.

The fact is, However, do not eat bad foods is less important than eating the right foods. The anti-acne system that is recommended by most all Dermatologists are high in salmon, halibut, tuna, sardines, fresh organically grown vegetables and whole grains. Taking a multivitamin day / multimineral supplement is a good idea too.

Healing Acne Naturally

Acne and natural skin products

Although I got the occasional pimple, I didn’t suffer from acne until I was in my late teens and early twenties. It was horrible. Acne has a big effect on your self esteem and confidence as well as your social patterns. I wore thick amounts of makeup just to leave the house – which in itself didn’t help matters – and when someone looked at me, I believed that they were disgusted. I was constantly worried about my appearance and I started to look for every cream, lotion and potion I could find that would help me.

The problem? My skin was very sensitive and I could not use strong detergents like benzoyl peroxide for very long. I tried very expensive over the counter meds, I tried some dermatological oral and topical meds, and I even tried those late night TV infomercial solutions. Some of the items worked, but dried out my skin and I continued to have huge acne problems well into my twenties.

What causes acne?

First, your skin cells become sticky, do not shed properly and block your pores which build up an excess of sebum in your pores. This happens due to many different factors, skin failing to slough off properly, rubbing your face with your fingers, stress and other things. There then is a build up of bacteria which feed on the sebum. This bacterium is popularly known as P. acnes (Propionibacterium acnes).

The first stage is the microcomedone stage. At this stage, the pore is not yet inflamed, yet you can see that there is something going on underneath. It takes two forms:

1. Whiteheads – Which look like a very small white dot due to the build up of bacteria.
2. Blackheads – Which look like a black dot and is hard to the touch due to blocked pore.

 The first stage may heal up on its own or become inflamed which leads to: 

1. Papules – This is the initial stage of the pore’s walls breaking which then causes white blood cells to enter.
2. Pustules – a full-blown zit or pimple, which is the stage where the white blood cells make their way to the surface of the skin.
3. Nodule – A break in the bottom of the pore’s wall which can be very sore to touch.
4. Cysts – A strong inflammatory reaction can result in very large lesions.

So that’s how acne is formed. I remember getting horrible scars because my acne would flare up and become severely inflamed. But I can now walk around with very little makeup and fairly clear skin.

Now can I give you a miracle cure for acne? No. I still get acne, but it is much less frequent, do not leave ugly scars and go away in a few days.

Here are a few steps that you can take to relieve yourself of major acne for the long term. Remember, this is not a miracle cure!

 Get your skin to work for you not against you

Now at the same time of my major breakouts, one of my sisters had lovely skin. Did she diligently wash her skin before going to bed? No. Did she have a beauty regimen? No. Did she even apply any cream to her face at all? Not really. Then what was going on? How come my skin which was getting all the scrubs, rubs and potions had these huge acne cysts and she would occasionally get one little pimple on her nose? That wasn’t fair! Or was there something else to it?

If you look at how acne is formed, it is caused by a blockage in the pores. Now most people intuitively think that they should be scrubbing their pores clean.

But the secret is to get the skin to slough off efficiently and produce less sebum. Your skin is like any other organ. If it feels like it is too dry it will produce more oil. If it feels it is under attack it will send the white blood cells to search and destroy. If there is something wrong it will become inflamed. So I decided to try an experiment and here is what I found:                                 

1. Add good oil and moisture to your face
   Every night I rubbed in some high quality moisturizing antibacterial oil. Now tamanu oil, shea butter, or lavender oil will be the best as they are antibacterial as well as moisturizing, do your research, but make sure that the oil you choose will be absorbed into your skin and not clog pores. Tea tree oil is antibacterial but not for moisturizing, so I would recommend tea tree only as a treatment for inflamed acne.
2. Get good bacteria onto your face
   The most amazing skin cream is available to you for pennies and it is right under your nose. Believe it or not, its yoghurt! Yoghurt has some beautiful properties. It is cooling and soothing, ph balancing and it has bacteria which love eating P. acnes. I use it with a touch of turmeric to soothe my entire face.  
3. Use AHA or Vitamin A to help slough off dead skin cells
   These are the only “chemicals” I’d recommend if you need help with your cell turnover. Alpha Hydroxy Acid comes from sugar cane, and is proven to increase cell turnover as is vitamin A.  I used it together with the antibacterial oil, which helps because vitamin A is absorbed better in oil. This is good especially for older women as this reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. However, use is not recommended for pregnant women as too much vitamin A is bad for the baby. Also remember to add sun block to your routine every morning as it makes you more susceptible to sun damage.

Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree Oil is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifoliais tree from Australia. It is very effective against Acne as it contains bacteria-fighting substances called Terpenes. Acne is often caused by bacteria and the Terpenes either outright kill them or weaken them enough to be destroyed by protective antibodies. There are very little side effects from using Tea Tree Oil.

Aloe Vera
The watery gel from Aloe Vera plant is also a highly effective natural cure against Acne. The enzyme-rich gel has very soothing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It can also be taken internally and helps clean up and detox the digestive tract. This in turn can help clear up the skin.

Zinc
Zinc is taken in the form of capsules. It helps to strengthen the human immune system and to repair the skin.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective Acne cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E also helps in countering Acne. It is a natural antioxidant and beneficial for the skin. Vitamin E comes in soft gelatin capsules that contain Vitamin E, Soybean Oil, Glycerin, and Water.

Some Natural Homemade Cures to counter Acne
The most important thing to do if you suffer from Acne is to drink at least four pints of water every day. Drinking a lot of water is very beneficial to your skin. Including fresh fruit and leafy green vegetables in your daily diet will also bring about a marked improvement in the quality of your complexion.

Before bathing, apply a mixture of tomato pulp – real tomota pulp, not packaged one – honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.

At night, before going to bed, apply a mix of cream, glycerine, and lemon juice to your face and again keep it on for a short while before washing.

Regular Yoga exercises will also improve skin and overall health.

Things to Avoid
Avoid touching your face all the time, keep your hair away from your face, and avoid picking at pimples.

Another important thing if you’re prone to Acne is to avoid using heavy make-up – in fact, it is preferable to avoid make-up altogether. For an effective cure, stay as natural as possible.
