Natural skin care for treating acne is clearly the best option not only for your appearance, but for your overall health. While taking hormones and using other types of drugs in topical treatments may work for some more serious conditions, the majority of people can benefit more by seeking natural means of healing. Avoiding these dangerous drugs can not only help your skin more in the long run, but can prevent long-lasting damage to the hormone-producing glands inside you, as well as untold possible side-effects on your other organs.
Acne is a chronic skin condition characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and sometimes even scarring later on. Acne is caused by a combination of reasons, most likely genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, an excessive amount of oil glands in your skin, and may also be exacerbated by cigarette smoking and even the food you eat. Other factors that can affect your skin and encourage acne may be the types of fibres in your clothing, the products you use for cleaning your skin and clothes, cosmetics, and stress in your life.
As the precise cause of your acne is never entirely clear, the odds of clearing up your condition will vary. Seeking help from a naturopathic doctor and/or an acupuncturist may help treat more systemic, difficult-to-treat conditions, but less serious issues can often be helped by properly trained aestheticians who do natural-based facial treatments. A spa or clinic that has a skillful aesthetician at their disposal is even more valuable if they also employ a naturopath or practitioner of Chinese medicine who you can see at the same time. Your aesthetician should be able to recommend which type of therapy best suits your needs.
During a facial treatment, your aesthetician will initially cleanse your face, and then may use a variety of different treatment options such as facial masques, steaming, and even facial massage. Intense exfoliation will likely be avoided if certain drugs or skin care products have been used, eg, any products containing Retin A (which is quite toxic for your body). Natural skin care products for treating acne should be as organic and naturally-based as possible, as your skin and the rest of your body does not need the extra work it takes to process chemicals. Indeed, adding unnecessary and toxic chemicals to your skin only makes your overall health worse. Sacrificing your long-term health is not worth it for some short-term gain in skin appearance, and is not even needed if you seek out a properly trained aesthetician in a good spa or clinic.
When you do seek out natural skin care treatments from a qualified aesthetician, be sure to give as much detail as possible about your skin care history, including all of the medications you have taken in the past, and are currently taking.
