Correlation between Acne and Colon Cleansing

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Depending who you ask, it is actually proven that there is a correlation between acne and colon cleansing. You may wonder what exactly a clean digestive system would have to do with clear skin?

Well, apparently these two things are more related than most people would think. The experts and consumers who believe that a clean colon produces a clean skin say so for the following reasons:

  • Receiving a good digestive cleansing helps keep the internal organs working correctly. This prevents from toxins having to be eliminated from the skin pores via sweat. Therefore, there is less of a chance of clogged skin, which leads to acne problems.
  • Receiving a colon cleansing helps eliminate waste and toxins in the system that have resulted from a poor diet. This helps people correct problems associated with poor diet, which sometimes includes the development of acne.
  • Undergoing a complete digestive flushing that washes out your intestines will make you healthy all around. Indirectly is how your skin would be affected and it is likely to be smoother, and likely to have less blemishes overall.

Additional Acne Treatment Tips

Besides the above statements about colon cleansing you should also care for your skin every single day. Using the right cleanser and moisturizer and making sure you eat a balanced diet will help you immensely.

Speaking of diet, if you are attempting to clean out your insides sometimes people might go on a temporary fruit, vegetable, and/or juice diet. During this time, you would eat as many raw foods as possible. This is likely to clear up your complexion, too.

Exercise can also help you get rid of acne in the event you take a shower before your sweat dries on your face. Therefore, work out as often as possible to detoxify and clean your body and get rid of acne.

Furthermore, make sure you where the right sunscreen while outside. This will further prevent all kinds of skin problems, including the development of acne.

Additional Info

If you are attempting to clear acne with a colon cleanse you should remember one important thing-that this process works differently for different types of acne. You need to find out what type of acne you experience right now for it to make a difference.

I will be doing more studies on the correlation between acne and colon cleansing in the future. Keep coming back for more education regarding this.

Acne: A Brief Description and Treatment Guide

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

No one would really think much of writing an in-depth description of acne. However, doing so may help you care for your skin better than you did in the past.

Acne is a very common medical problem, which falls under the classification of skin diseases. Usually they appear as raised bumps on the surface of the skin. They usually are red, but sometimes they are white or black.

Cause of Acne

Usually this problem occurs when excess dirt and oil builds up in your skin pores. This along with excessive secretion of a substance called sebum is what often forms pimples, otherwise known as lesions or acne.

This problem typically occurs in people who are between 10 years of age to 40 years of age. The same is true of cysts, whiteheads, blackheads, and other abnormal skin blemishes.

Important: Treatments by Skin Types

This is important to know because not many people realize that treatments for acne often are based on skin type. If you ever have complained about a skin care product that was supposed to work and did not this may be the main reason why.

The following recommendations are made according to skin type:

Oily-Alcohol-based solutions are used as an astringent to help keep pores clean. A milder astringent used on oily skin is witch hazel. These both evaporate quickly so you have to rub your face with it fast, but of course remain gentle while doing so.

Normal-Solutions mixed with water versus alcohol are more recommended. Witch hazel may be appropriate in this case. Water-based solutions help moisturize and cleanse the skin at the same time.

Dry-Certain solutions that are water-based are great for dry skin. Sometimes a good location with high-quality natural moisturizing ingredients works well in this situation. Certain ointments and creams may be especially made for dry skin as well.

Combination-You can find a variety of cleansers or water-based cleansers that are appropriate for skin that is dry in some spots while oily in others. You might be able to get away with using two different types of cleansers-one for the dry portion and one for the oily portion.

Additional Info

Treatment can be sought over the counter. Many people turn to herbal products, but beware that not all herbs are necessarily safe. Certain acne treatments also may help with reducing wrinkles.

Note also that various exfoliation practices as well as facial mask application are two more at-home treatments often applied on acne. Then, of course, there are the medical treatments such as chemical peel or in the worse case surgery.
