A holistic acne cure is the magic bullet many people with severe acne find when they go in search of the best acne treatment. The holistic approach can end years of acne breakouts and restore a clear, well-toned skin.
Skin acne (e.g. pimples, whiteheads and cysts) doesn't develop on its own. It is a symptom of an underlying condition caused by one or, more likely, a combination of triggers. Five common triggers are:
1. Stress due to, for example, a lack of sleep
2. An imbalance of hormones as happens to many adolescents, or to women during pregnancy
3. A build up of toxins in the blood or lymph
4. Poor internal and external hygiene
5. Lifestyle issues such as an unhealthy diet
Your genetic makeup determines how your body reacts to these triggers and the interactions between them. For example, your sebaceous glands may have a genetic tendency to produce excess oil whenever a hormonal imbalance develops inside your body. In acne sufferers, that excess oil blocks pores in the skin causing an infection that leads to the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and, in some cases, severe acne.
Clearly, your 'internal acne environment' is very complex. The best acne treatment for you is the one that neutralises your acne triggers. This is where most sufferers go wrong; they use so-called 'cures' that attack the symptoms but ignore their acne triggers. For example, you could use a chemical that removes excess oil from your skin, but a better approach would be to stop your sebaceous glands producing the extra oil in the first place.
It is impossible to identify all your acne triggers and work out how they interact with each other. This makes it difficult to find the best acne treatment for you because most treatments target only one factor. If you have severe acne and want a smooth, well-toned skin, then you might like to consider the advantages offered by a holistic acne cure. Holistic remedies:
1. Establish and maintain a natural chemical balance that will cure your condition permanently
2. Are easily customised so that you can develop a strategy that matches your body's unique characteristics. After all, everybody is different.
3. Don't resort to expensive drugs or external medications that have unpleasant effects
4. Work quickly, within days or weeks
5. Are simple and follow a logical, well organised format
6. Are realistic, and easy to incorporate into your current lifestyle
7. Provide ongoing counselling and support from competent health professionals
A holistic acne approach is considered by many people as the best acne treatment available because it meets these criteria. It attacks the internal acne environment without resorting to drugs or special creams. It will work on all parts of your body, notably on places such as the face, back, and neck where intractable acne can be really bad. And, perhaps best of all, it is effective against all types of acne, not just pimples and blackheads, but also severe acne such as cysts.
