The Skinny on Acne Treatment and Other Natural Beauty Products
The search for an effective acne cure has been going on for centuries. Generations of sufferers are now faced with various options, from chemically formulated cosmetics to natural beauty products to simple basic good hygiene.
Your natural beauty products may not be effective and prove expensive if used for a long time without any measurable or noticeable change to fairer skin. There are many synthetic and organic acne treatments in the market today and finding the best solutions is not easy.
Acne is a serious problem and its treatment is a billion dollar industry. Yet with all the advances in science and health, the cure always eludes the grasp of many sufferers. In fact, the seemingly incurable skin problem to some may cause more mental and emotional distress that can lead to suicides and rage. Further, there are chemical treatments that have been reported to drive users to depression.
A study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology reports that teenage girls and boys with severe acne problem are twice and thrice more likely to think about suicide than their peers with clear skin.
The Karolinska Institute in Sweden also mentions in a published research that there may be an additional risk after treatment with isotretinoin, a commonly prescribed drug for severe acne since the 1980’s. This risk may be due to the acne itself, rather than the treatment, since the skin infection is associated with depression and other psychiatric morbidity. Experts believe that the risk could be with patients whose physical appearance improved but without an analogous change in their social life.
In the meantime, the search goes on for the wonder drug that can be used generally on any skin types. Skin experts are also dispelling skin care myths one by one so as not to worsen the quest and provide people with better options.
For instance, the oil cleansing method that has become popular recently promotes the use of natural oils as an alternative to soap and water. These products, however, could aggravate pre-existing skin problems including acne, according to experts. Oil is not dangerous to use on the face, but it could be if there are skin breakouts. Oil can potentially clog pores and not clean them.
Homemade natural skin treatments that promote the use castor and olive oil could only worsen the condition. The public is cautioned to be wary of similar commercial products and stick to those from trusted suppliers of cosmetic products that comply with industry standards. There are many organic acne treatments that work though. The key to finding a good skin care line is knowing their formulation and their particular effect on the skin type.
Acne sufferers are better off using hypoallergenic cleansers with less or no alcohol content. They should also avoid using cosmetic products that are heavily perfumed. Mild organic extracts or other related products can be used as an alternative.
Another theory that experts say do not really work as a cure is water therapy. Drinking lots of water doesn’t make any dramatic effect on skin problem unless the person is totally dehydrated.
The best cure for acne could be just regular and thorough washing and the use of mild and hypoallergenic natural beauty products with no harsh chemicals. Having a positive attitude also helps in having a clear and fair complexion.
