Acne is a very common affliction. From puberty onwards acne can occur at any age. It isn’t a mystery why, drug interference with the body and it’s function, a lack of a healthy diet, very stressful lifestyles, hormone regulators, the constant bombardment and intake of toxic materials into the body to name a few. All of these separately or combined can disrupt the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Why Do I get Acne?

It is the sebaceous glands that regulate the amount of sebum (oil) that lubricates the skin, provides moisture and expels toxins from the body through the skin. When there is a compromise of the normal sebum production it becomes too much for the skin to regulate with the result that dead skin cells and sebum block the hair follicles and bacteria grows unabated. The result is infection and pustule formation along with whiteheads, blackheads, swelling, inflamation and redness.

Acne can occur anywhere on the body but the face is the primary target of acne, why that is is a mystery. The worst possible place, it causes untold embarassement and social stigma that are sometimes very difficult to deal with. But deal with it we must.

How Do I get Rid Of Acne

What a question, the remedies you see will astound you not to mention confuse you. If you understood the above comments you should know that we identified the CAUSE of acne. Do you not think that if you want to get rid of your acne that the logical place to begin with is addressing the cause? Stabilize sebum production restore the natural harmony of the body and you will elminate any skin disorder caused by any disruption of the normal functioning of the body.

It all comes down to choices. If you live on junk food, drink alcohol, use drugs legal and illegal and generally abuse your health that is the first place to begin to restore some balance and give to your body what it desperately needs, nutrition. Most peole do not get enough vitamins and minerals from the food they eat, over processing of food strips much of the good stuff from the food we eat. It is not surprising at all why there is so much sickness and devastating disease. Start to be very picky where your food comes from and establish a well balanced diet of fresh vegetables and fruit. It is wise to supplement your diet because of what we have just mentioned.

Cleanse The Body

The next step is to eliminate the toxic environment within your body. In addition to your now established healthy diet a natural body cleanse will work wonders in restoring the natural balance of all body functions including the sebaceous glands. The colon is the first to cleanse as it is here where the toxic build up is the most concentrated. Many people carry anywhere from 7 to 30 pounds or more of putrid accumulated waste that is not dispelled from the body and becomes encrusted and remains. A perfect breeding ground for disease and skin disorders to develop.

The next is to detoxify the major organs of the body. Our every day lifestyles accumulate many toxic substances from our food, water, the air, from pesticide residues, heavy metals used in cosmetics, fragrances, cleaning products and the list goes on. All of this does not get eliminated from the body some of it remains in the cells and tissues where it can cause many malfunctions and contribute to disease. There are supplements that will remove heavy metals and toxic build up from the liver, kidneys, the lungs and the cells and tiisues.

Find a good colon cleanse product and a heavy metal detox product and do a cleanse, follow the directions and you shouldn’t have any problems, it is a natural and safe process for most people.

Treating The Skin

While you have made changes to your lifestyle and diet and started a cleanse the next thing is try and repair the damge that is already evident on your skin. I would highly recommend that you seek out natural products and I do mean natural products not some advertised junk with the name natural on them. Find natural products that feed nutrients to your skin and can repair the damage. Do a little research online to find them I could recommend organic health and beauty.com as good place to start as you will find some very helpful information there on all the things we have talked about. If you take all of this to heart your acne and your health will improve by leaps and bounds.
