All Natural Acne Treatments

All natural acne treatments are safer than taking prescription medicines or other procedures that have unknown side effects or long term effects.  Acne affects more than 90% of the younger population and can even continue on to adult hood. Although acne is not something that affects your physical health it can impact your psychological health and cause you to be self-conscious about your skin.

Causes of Acne

Acne is caused by a variety of factors, mainly being your hormone levels, which can cause an increase in testosterone production and the natural oils in your body that cause acne. Your genes are also a contributing factor as well as your environment and stress levels. It has been said that diet can play a role in causing acne, primarily with sugar consumption. Drinking large amounts of water is supposed to help flush toxins out of your system and make your skin much healthier.  Touching your face, having your hair touch your face, and heavy make-up will also increase acne breakouts.  All natural acne treatments are safer and can be more effective than using prescription drugs or harsh chemicals.

All Natural Acne Treatments

There are many different things you can do naturally that will help prevent acne or reduce breakouts:

Eat Carrots! Carrots are rich in Beta-carotene, also known as Vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to prevent acne by strengthening the skin's protective tissue. If you have a lack of Vitamin A in your diet this can cause acne. Eat plenty of carrots or take vitamin supplements. We also recommend using the Skin Deep Cosmeceuticals Vitamin A treatment, which will infuse your skin with Vitamin A and help reduce your acne. This product is paraben free and also effective in reducing wrinkles and age spots.

Keep your face clean. Avoid wearing make-up, which can clog pores, and keep your hair off your face. Hair care products can have excess oil which will be absorbed into your skin. Keep your face clean by using the Skin Deep Cosmeceuticals acne skin care products, such as the Salicyclic Cleanser or Glycolic Salicylic Astringent, which are paraben free and remove excess oil from the skin.

Drink water. Drinking water helps flush toxins and keeps your skin looking healthy. Reduce your sugar intake and replace sugary drinks with water for a natural acne treatment.

Use Glycolic Acid skin care products.
The Mayo Clinic's dermatologist Lawrence E Gibson, MD, recently wrote that glycolic acid is a natural acid found in sugar cane that is effective as a natural acne treatment option. Gibson writes that"glycolic acid applied to your skin helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.  Glycolic acid may also improve the appearance of acne scars".  Skin Deep Cosmeceuticals offers a Glycolic Salicylic Astringent and a Glycolic Night Resurfacing Cream for all natural acne treatments.
