1. They Are Harmful For Your Skin
Most over the counter products that you find in the market today
contain many harmful chemicals that will affect your skin badly, such as
increasing your skin irritation, making your skin itchy and dry, and
aggravating your acne more. So, no matter how great the advertisement of
those products, you will still get the fact that they can only make
your acne worse, especially if you have sensitive skin.
2. They Don’t Treat Your Acne To The Root Cause
Most of those cures for acne come in the form of cream, lotion, or
cleanser that can only be applied topically. However, acne is not just a
cosmetic problem. The appearance of your acne is just a result of a
bigger problem that happens inside your body. You can’t completely cure
your acne only by applying topical treatment in the outer layer of your
skin. The root cause of acne lies within your body, and in order to
eliminate your acne, you need to start from inside your body.
3. They Are Only Treating The Symptom
Acne is just a symptom, not the real problem. Therefore, you can’t
treat the symptom and expect to be able to permanently cure your acne.
Those over the counter cures for acne are only treating the symptom of
your acne. That’s why their effect is temporary, if at all. You might be
able to reduce the appearance of your acne, but you can’t eliminate it
completely by using those products.
4. They Are Treating The Wrong Problem
Some acne products are made for the purpose of eliminating bacteria
that causes acne. Again, this is just an effect of the bigger cause
within your body. Acne is not caused by bacteria. In fact, acne appears
in your skin because of pinched-off sebum canal. And what makes your
sebum canal to become pinched-off? Certainly not the bacteria! The
bigger cause of your acne problem lies within your body.
5. You Keep Making Your Acne Worse
With any acne treatment, you need to accompany it with good treatment
toward your skin, such as by maintaining a healthy diet, having enough
rest, avoiding stress, etc. By only relying on the effect of those over
the counter cures for acne, you can’t see the real improvement in your
skin. That’s because you’re the one who keeps making your acne worse.
Those are the reasons why most cures for acne don’t work. The next
time you see any advertisement about an amazing acne product on TV,
magazine, or anywhere else, make sure that the product can really help
you to eliminate the root cause of your acne problem. Also, be sure that
the product does not contain any harmful chemicals that can make your
acne worse.
The 2 Basic Treatments for Back Acne
Back acne is similar with regular face acne that you experience. The
only difference is the place where this disease is appearing within your
body. Thus, the treatment is also similar with the treatment of regular
acne. The difference only exists on the focus of the treatment. If you
are prone to back acne, the two basic treatments below will help you to
reduce its appearance significantly within short period of time. You
only need to make sure that you are practicing the treatments I describe
below for at least 2 weeks.
The first basic treatment for back acne is about your diet. You have to improve your diet. However, you won’t be willing to improve your diet before you confess to yourself that you have bad diet. Why? That’s because most acne sufferers deny that they have bad dietary habit, and thus neglect the importance of diet in their life. They also neglect that their dietary habit can affect their skin negatively.
Take a look at the foods that you eat today, or yesterday. Did you eat good foods that nourish your skin, such as lots of fruits and vegetables? Or, did you eat only foods that tend to damage your skin, such as meats, processed foods, soda, and milk? If so, then you should be aware that you need to improve your diet immediately.
It is easy to improve your diet. You just need to make sure that you’re only eating foods that nourish your skin. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, fruit juices, and fresh water. Avoid foods that only pollute and damage your skin as much as possible. It is that simple. If you do this, you will slowly be able to make your skin better. For now, don’t be concerned about the details of which foods to eat and which foods you shouldn’t eat.
The second basic treatment is that you need to eliminate stress from your life. Your back acne can be aggravated quickly if you have stressful mind and unrest body. Be aware that it is really important for you to keep your mind in a calm and happy state. Just avoid people or environment that make you stressful and unhappy. This will greatly boost the effectiveness of the first basic treatment that you apply.
