Much has been written over the years as to why we have acne. Where does it come from? How do I get rid of it? Which treatments are truly effective and which are pure bunk?
For the most part, finding and treating acne has been heavily dependent on medical science and the scientific way to treat acne. Of course, that is to say treat it with drugs and medications but is there a natural way to treat this menace of our youth and beyond?
Most researchers will tell you that due to the underlying causes of acne, most natural approaches to treatment have a very low success rate. My research indicates that this is not true at all.
There are many different factors that are associated with acne outbreaks and it must be stated that before changing any type of treatment plan that you should discuss your plans with a physician or dermatologist. The root cause should be determined before starting any type of treatment but there has been great progress in natural medicine to treat your acne.
Finding out which natural products are most effective is really just the beginning. Nearly every natural approach to fighting acne involves a plan of action and your ability to follow through.
It really is not different than taking powerful antibiotics or other medication prescribed by your doctor. You must have a plan of action and follow it precisely or successful treatment of your acne will not happen.
It is important to remember that acne can only be controlled. There is no cure. So if deciding upon a natural medication approach, you may find yourself surprised at what the more advanced natural approach will do for you in controlling your acne.
Blocked pores, swelling, oily skin, pain and inflammation are classic examples of an acne outbreak. Many of the natural products on the market today can effective and safely treat these symptoms.
Your diet must also be taken into consideration. Although foods may not be the underlying cause of acne there may be many side effects which can actually make your acne worse. It seems to be that acne is most often caused by more than one issue.
Also take into consideration your environment. Stress and exposure to certain elements can be a mayor factor when in combination with other things. Knowing how to effectively deal with those issues along with an all natural and herbal method can have a profound impact on treating your acne.
There have been many books and products sold over the most recent years making claims of all sorts on curing your acne forever in 5 minutes. The truth is as I stated earlier that acne cannot be cured. That is just the facts and no product whether chemical or natural can treat it effectively in 5 minutes or even 24 to 48 hours.
It is not unusual though from the reports that I have received that many people are seeing results in as little as 72 hours. Let me make myself absolutely clear on this point though. They are not completely acne free within this time frame but dramatic results are being seen. Within a week or two these natural treatment plans when followed as directed are having as much if not more effects on successfully controlling acne as many of the high powered chemical treatments being prescribed every day.
If the treatment program you are on now is not producing the results you are hoping to obtain then I would whole heartedly recommend investigating natural acne treatment plans. Although many people reading this article will pass of that advice I know those who consider natural medication will find success in treating their acne.
It is important to remember that no matter what treatment plan you have chosen to treat your acne, always make it a point to contact your physician when considering an alternative. Never ever discontinue any type of prescribed medication with the advise of your doctor. If a natural approach is something you would like to consider then the advice of your doctor can help you easily make the switch.
