NATURAL WAYS TO KEEP YOUR SKIN SPOTLESS
Boiled
Cabbage Water: Many acne sufferers have heard unreliable stories about boiled
cabbage water healing acne but it those.
Aloe
Vera: Contains more than 200 constituents used for their healing properties. It
has no known side-effects and can be taken internally or used topically. Aloe
vera gel applied to active marks
can calm inflammation and relieve pain. It
can also be used as an excellent oil-free moisturiser.
Nutritional
Dos and Don't s: Increase your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, especially
green vegetables, onions, garlic, carrots, whole grains, watercress and
cucumber. This will provide your body with excellent nutrition to fight
infection and inflammation, and keep your immune system strong. Avoid refined
sugars, fried and junk foods, as well as diets high in meat, dairy produce and
caffeine. Iodine has also been implicated in aggravating acne and is found in
beets, celery, grapes and kelp.
Vitamins
A, B and C: Vitamin A is believed to be effective in treating acne by reducing
the amount of oil produced by the body. However, in large amounts it is toxic
and must be avoided by pregnant women or anyone trying for a baby.
Stress-reducing vitamins such as B-complex can control acne, and play an
additional role by helping to stabilise hormone levels. Vitamin C preserves a
healthy texture and fights infection.
Cosmetics: Look carefully at labels. Pick products that are oil-free,
non-acnegenic or noncomedonic when you wash, carefully remove all traces of
make-up - but don't scrub too hard.
Marigold
and Wheatgerm Oil Lotion: Combine two tablespoons of pounded dried marigold
leaves (from a health food store) with warmed wheatgerm oil. Strain the mixture
and apply the liquid sparingly to the skin.
