Reduce Acne & Bring Your Skin Back To Life
Acne, a prevalent skin condition, affects most individuals at some point in their lives, leading to the development of spots, oily skin, and occasionally skin that feels hot or painful to the touch.
Acne typically manifests on three main areas of the body:
1. The face, affecting nearly everyone with acne.
2. The back and chest, impacting more than half of individuals with acne.
Various types of spots associated with acne include:
1. Blackheads: Small black or yellowish bumps on the skin, not due to dirt but rather produced pigmentation from the hair follicle’s inner lining.
2. Whiteheads: Similar to blackheads but firmer and do not empty when squeezed.
3. Papules: Small red bumps that may feel tender or sore.
4. Pustules: Resembling papules but featuring a white tip at the center, caused by pus buildup.
5. Nodules: Large, firm lumps forming beneath the skin’s surface and often causing pain.
6. Cysts: The most severe acne spots, similar to boils, carrying the highest risk of permanent scarrin
What can be done if one has acne?
Acne is often associated with hormonal fluctuations during puberty but can begin at any age. Specific hormones prompt the sebaceous glands near hair follicles in the skin to produce increased amounts of oil (sebum).
This excess sebum alters the behavior of the typically benign skin bacterium, making it more aggressive and leading to inflammation and pus formation.
Furthermore, these hormones thicken the inner lining of the hair follicle, resulting in pore blockages that cannot be resolved through simple skin cleaning. To address this issue, it’s crucial to focus on regulating your hormones.
The following self-help techniques can be beneficial:
1. Avoid over washing affected skin areas, limiting washing to no more than twice a day. Excessive washing can irritate the skin and exacerbate symptoms.
2. Use a mild soap or cleanser along with lukewarm water to wash the affected area. Avoid very hot or cold water, as they can worsen acne.
3. Refrain from attempting to “clean out” blackheads or squeeze spots, as this can worsen them and lead to permanent scarring. Instead, use a cleanser designed for acne/oily skin and an alcohol-based toner to dry out acne.
4. Minimize the use of cosmetics and makeup, as they can further irritate the skin. Keep your skin clean and ensure complete removal of makeup before bedtime.
5. Explore various cosmetics available on the market for skincare and find a range that suits your specific needs.
6. Naturo’s Acne formula is an all-natural anti-inflammatory supplement that helps with inflammation and prevents further inflammation.
7. Hormonal acne typically develops during teenage years due to a hormone imbalance and increased androgen levels. Naturo’s Chasteberry tincture can help normalize hormone levels; use 15 drops 2-3 times a day for optimal results.
8. For facial products, opt for those designed for oily/problematic skin, including a low-alcohol toner and an oil-control moisturizer.
9. Products containing a low concentration of Benzoyl peroxide may be recommended for acne treatment.
10. Consider using Naturo’s Acne support, Tea tree acne gel, Teen hormone Support, and Anti-Inflammation products as they are recommended for acne management.
