Natural Acne Healing 101: a Clear and Gorgeous Skin, Day After Day Clearing your skin of blemishes and acne does not require
rocket science: it can be easy, simple and natural. Here, we share
with you a few natural secrets to treat and clear acne all naturally.
Acne,
pimples, blackheads, blemishes are the nightmare of any self-conscious
girl and woman (and even if they don't want to admit it, of men
also). Although they often come up during puberty, they can show up at
any age. They are caused by a malfunction of the sebaceous
glands in the skin, causing clogging and inflammation and
sometimes infection. Whatever quantity of foundation and concealer you
use, these little skin demons are always going to show up one way or
the other. If you don't believe me and think your mirror is showing
you a good enough result of your tedious cover-up job, just watch
people around you and how they look. Whether you are in the subway,
the train, at the supermarket or at the kids' summer camp, look at
people's face and observe how the ton of foundation looks so
artificial that it's nauseating or the little bit of concealer cannot
erase the huge bump of the blemish underneath. In truth, skin problems
need to be addressed at the root, not with a cover-up. Essential oils
and Green Clay treatments combined with a sensible diet, fresh air and
sun can clear up the problem.
Here is our natural Acne Healing 101 to get rid of blemishes once and for all. Remember that this is your Home Spa time, so be extra gentle with yourself and create the most healing and relaxing (as you will see in our last section, it's important!) 1. Blemished Skin Treatment: Anti-Acne Purifying Mask Beside specific blends of selected essential oils, like in
our Purifying
Lotion, nothing is more powerful in treating and healing acne and
blemishes than Green Clay masks. Based on ancient wisdom and clinical
observation, here is the recipe to make your own healing mask and
clear your skin.
You will need:
Clean your face with a cotton pad damped with purifying Lavender Floral Water. Let it dry Prepare the mask:
2. A Secret Anti-Acne Lotion from a Renowned Herbalist Use this exclusive organic anti-acne
lotion everyday to purify your skin naturally. Its recipe comes
from the wisdom and experience of a well-known aromatherapist in
France. It cleanses, purifies, washes away impurities and excess oil
and helps to rebalance the skin. Its unique blend of pure essential
oils (palmarosa, geranium, lavender, lemon, peppermint, rosemary and
orange) is mixed with healing extracts of Tepescohuit and Calendula,
and organic wheat alcohol. Thanks to this mix of botanicals,
the skin gets healthier and more radiant every day as it rebalances
itself.
3. Fresh Air, Sunlight and Diet Go outdoors and get plenty of fresh air and enough
sunlight. Find more about WHY it's so important in this summer blog.
Avoid any type of pro-inflammation food like coffee, alcohol,
chocolate, sweet and high carbs foods and greatly reduce dairy and
meat consumption. This will greatly help to heal acne from
within. Taking Vitamin B5 and Zinc is also recommended.
4. Detox
There are many hypotheses about what really triggers acne, but
ultimately your skin is stressed and is trying to release an excess of
toxins. Doing a detox cure is more than a good idea: it's
necessary. You can find ideas, tips and recipes on how to clean
yourself from toxins and pollutants in our latest detox
article and in our detox for beauty blog.
Finally, avoid any type of chemical personal care products and heavy
make-up which are unsafe and choking your skin.
5. The Psychological Battle of Acne Stress is commonly blamed for the development of acne. Stress
has many physiologic effects on the body, including changes in
hormones and metabolism that can lead to acne.
As a chicken and egg problem, seeing your face disfigured or ravaged
by acne causes a fair amount of stress by itself. Even if it's only
one blemish, it can spoil the beauty of your face and destroy your
self-confidence in a split second! So we have a catch 22 here: stress
can lead to acne and acne leads to stress.
Following the simple tips described above and applying the blemished skin purifying mask (see the recipe above) regularly will help you get rid of acne and heal your skin. Relax! Meanwhile, you can do meditation and breathing exercises to relax while waiting for the healing to take place. You may also want to use the help of Purifying Mask or make your own with our other home spa recipes. Warning: some medications or medical treatments may cause skin problems and acne as side effects. You may want to consult your doctor and talk to him/her about your skin problems if this is your case. |
