Sometimes you look at your face and are completely stunned at how your skin looks.
You think, "how did this happen?" or "why me?"You wonder if the acne is caused by something you ate or perhaps you are not cleaning your face well enough.
Are you having an allergic reaction?You just don't know.
You're not alone, more than 60 million people that suffer from acne ponder questions like these everyday.
Let's tackle the problem methodically.
First, you may want to determine what kind of acne you have.
There is mild acne, which consist of small whiteheads and blackheads that are usually located on the face.
There is also moderate acne, which produces not only whiteheads and blackheads it may also produce pustules.
Moderate acne may be located on the face, chest and/or back.
Then there is serve acne that consist of blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, papules and nodules.
Serve acne can show up anywhere on the body.
Now that you have determined what type of acne you have, let's talk about what really causes acne.
Hormonal imbalance that comes with puberty, pregnancy or menopause can cause acne.
Hygiene can contribute to acne.
If you don't wash your face gently two times per day or if you pick pimples and touch another part of your skin, your acne may spread.
Stress or even a prescription drug can cause acne.
Supposedly, the diet really has no effect on acne.
That's right, clinical studies are now showing that chocolate, greasy food and sugar are not the cause of acne.
However, in the same breath the same health professionals will state that a poor diet full of processed food makes acne worse.
The health professionals suggest a diet high in Vitamin A, B2, B3, and C.
That means eat more nuts, chicken and plenty of fruits and vegetables to improve your skin.
And don't forget to drink at least 8-8 ounce glasses of water per day.
So, what's next?My first suggestion is drink more water.
That doesn't mean your beverage of choice, it means go to the kitchen and get a cup and start drinking that water!Here are some all-natural suggestions that worked for me.
I eat a lot of foods that are rich in Omega 3.
I eat green leafy vegetables by the ton.
I eat salads almost every day.
Yes, I do drink the 8-8 ounces of water a day.
Do I like it?No, it sickens me but when you get to the point you will do whatever it takes, you will stop fighting and pick up that cup.
About two years ago I broke out in a horrific case of acne that no matter what OTC treatment or prescription I tried, my acne just raged on.
I know the tears and fears.
I started this regimen January 1, 2008.
It is now three months into the new year and I have no more acne.
I do have some scars but there has been no sign of acne.
This regimen worked for me.
