Witch Hazel: A Natural Skin Astringent Review

Friday, January 8th, 2010

With hazel is a natural substance that helps cleanse the skin. Using this product typically helps unclog the pores without using an expensive skin care line.

However, how well does it really work? Does it help everyone or just some people? These are some very important questions to answer about this natural, simple acne clearing solution.

Pros

This product helps keep the pores clean. It also helps reduce dark spots, pimples, and other blemishes. It also works well for clearing up oily skin and keeping proper balance. It also has a toning effect, and evens the complexion.

Unlike alcohol-based astringents witch hazel does not have as much tendency to cause dryness. Furthermore, it is a product that is very easy to use. It can be applied with a cotton ball, or splashed on with your hands.

You might be able to find a gentle facial scrubbing pad to use with it. This remedy is probably quite a bit cheaper than most used today to clear the skin. At the same time, it also has a very pleasant smell, or at least some people think so.

It has an antiseptic affect as it helps remove bacteria and debris from skin pores. This further keeps your face clear and smooth.

Cons

It may not work on very severe cases of acne, or for removal of cysts. Clearing the skin if pimples and whiteheads takes considerably loner than using other treatments. It may not be appropriate for people with very dry skin.

It is not suited for people with very sensitive skin, as it could redden the skin and even could cause rashes. It might also sting the skin if you have any open sores on your face. However, it is milder than other natural substances.

Although some people like the smell of it, not everyone does. To each one’s own.

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.
