Why You Should Treat Hormonal Acne Internally, At Its
Source

Can you treat a headache or stomach ache externally, without
somehow manipulating your natural bodily functions internally
(aka popping a pill)? NO! Then why would you try to treat acne
that way? Many acne treatment systems today such as Proactiv,
target acne only from the outside, and do not address the issue
interanally, as it should be for lasting and dramatic results.

If you are really serious about treating acne and really
eliminating it at it’s source (ie the hormones that cause acne),
then you owe it to yourself to try a natural acne hormone
treatment which is specifically designed to equalize hormone
imbalance and purify the skin from the inside out using special
blends of herbs, botanicals, and/or natural compounds such as
Vitamin E and Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Why Go Natural Instead of Choosing a Conventional Acne
Medication?

Because many people who have not been responsive to conventional
acne treatments, or their effectiveness has worn off due to long
term use, experience superior results with natural acne
treatments.

Acne can actually be caused by two different hormones in women.
It’s usually an overabundance of androgens (male hormones) or
estrogens (female hormones). In men, it can also be caused by
imbalances in male and female hormones. This hormonal imbalance
triggers the breakouts by over-stimulating the oil glands on
acne prone areas of the body, which then results in a clogging
of the pore, hence that thing we all know and love – the pimple.

Antioxidants are also very potent as hormonal equalizers, as
well as “blood purifiers”, and their properties foster an
environment for mending skin eruptions as well as preventing new
breakouts and promoting a healthy glow and skin tone.

Most natural acne treatments are designed to do two things:

1.) Help correct hormonal imbalances related to acne breakouts.

2.) Reduce inflammation and swelling, and pave the way for fast
skin repair where breakouts have recently occurred.

Some other tips you can follow to help prevent unsightly
breakouts are:

1.) Drink plenty of water. This helps to cleanse the system, and
results in clearer, more hydrated skin.

2.) Avoid caffeine and caffeine-containing products like
chocolate or supplements containing caffeine or other stimulants.

3.) Relax. Try a calming exercise for when you get stressed out.
Stress triggers breakouts for many individuals.

4.) Avoid harsh cleansers or toners – these can only aggravate
acne and cause further irritation and redness.

5.) Use a light, non-comedogenic (non pore-clogging) sunscreen.
While it is true a suntan may camouflage breakouts, it mostly
aggravates them by forcing further oil production due to its
drying effects. Try using a good facial self tanner instead.

If you follow these few simple skincare principles, and combine
them with a high quality acne treatment targeted to balance
hormones and internally “cleanse”, you really can’t lose. Your
complexion will thank you!

What a strange name for this lesion– Comedo. It comes and does its job! You do not know when it comes, because it is invisible to the naked eye. It quietly lies below the skin, incognito, and waits for the right conditions to form, for the eventual attack. It is a hair follicle, enlarged and plugged with fellow travelers dead skin cells, oil and bacteria! When it becomes the inflamed lesion, it is ACNE!

Is there a cure for the acne? If you are willing to accept the straight answer, there is no clear cut remedy for acne. “Prevention is better than cure,” The rule applies very well to acne. But acne can be treated, if not cured altogether. That is not to say that the acne conditions will remain for ever. I only say that acne can not be thrown out. It will go when it has to go. On many occasions of its own volition!

The story of proactive products is just a decade old. The products have created a deep impact on the acne suffering people. The great men, who created Proactive acne solutions, were no ordinary people. They were two experienced dermatologists, who wished to invent a panacea to the acne problem. After much experimenting, they formulated the process of treatment, which brought much relief to the acne suffering masses. As on date, the popularity of the Proactive products is astronomical.

The Proactive principle is attack is the best form of defense. To prevent and heal acne, the Proactive, use a combination of ingredients that work simultaneously. These ingredients do the cleaning job, on all fronts. They exfoliate skin, deal with acne causing bacteria, treat to soothe inflammation and unplug pores. Their victory ladder consists of three steps.

First, comes the cleanser. In this step benzoyl peroxide is made to penetrate, within the skin as ingredients help to unplug pores and exfoliate skin. Next, Proactive revitalizing toner is ready to take over to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. Now comes the repairing lotion that helps benzoyl peroxide to seep deep in to the skin pores and initiative a decisive battle against the acne causing bacteria.

There is a fond hope among all concerned about acne, that the Proactive approach to treat acne, will go down in the history as one of the best approaches to the subject. Fortunately or unfortunately, that happens with many products and situations. Today’s Captain finds it difficult to get a place in the team after the lapse of some years! If a better product takes over the Proactive combination?well and good. Until such time, let the kind king of acne medicines rule!
