There are a number of misconceptions about acne and its causes. This is why millions of people spend a great deal of money buying over-the-counter creams and potions which, while giving relief, only offer a temporary solution. There is only one effective way to prevent acne and that is to address all the factors that combine to produce this most distressing complaint.
Let's consider the basics.
Our skin is the largest organ in our body and apart from "keeping us altogether", one of its major functions is to allow the removal of toxins from our bodies through our pores. From the base of these pores (follicles) that cover our skin, we continually produce oil (sebum) that serves to lubricate our skin and keep it healthy. A bacterium (P.acnes) occurs naturally on our skin and under normal circumstances does not cause any problem.
Acne occurs when a number of factors combine. The body starts to over produce oil, (most commonly caused by a hormonal imbalance, such as that which occurs during puberty). Dead skin particles block the pore, which traps the oil, together with the toxins which the body is trying to expel through the pores. This attracts the bacteria which in turn triggers the bodies defence mechanism, which reacts by sending in an army of while blood cells to fight the bacteria.
The result is the familiar acne symptoms, blackheads, whiteheads, swelling and inflammation.
Treating the skin surface may bring relief but only on a temporary basis.
Eliminating the acne bacteria using antibiotics is ultimately both ineffective and destructive. Ineffective, because although it will initially combat the bacteria, they will eventually develop a resistance to the antibiotics. Destructive, because as well as destroying the P.acne it will also eliminate the "good" probiotic bacteria that protect us.
These are the two most common means of treating acne. So is there an effective way to prevent acne?
Well, whilst the prevailing conventional medical opinion is that acne cannot be cured, simply controlled, those who subscribe to natural treatments and remedies hold a different view.
As the basis of alternative treatments is to treat illness and ailments as a whole i.e. address all the factors that influence the condition to bring the body back into balance.
Acne must be treated holistically. In other words all the contributory factors need to be treated - oil production, toxin removal, bacterial action, together with hormonal, nutritional and psychological triggers.
The body must be brought back into balance. Achieve this and you will have discovered
the only effective way to prevent acne.
