Acne is a skin problem, which is manifested by inflamed pores, pimples, whiteheads and blackheads and lumps that can occur even in the skin, neck, chest or back. Although not a dangerous disease, acne may affect the psychological state of an individual, causing a state of embarrassment, anxiety, depression and isolation sometimes. This can disrupt the social life of those affected.
Acne usually occurs in adolescents as a result of intense activity and specific hormonal puberty. It can affect, however, any person between 10 and 40. For adults, chimneys occur because of hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands. Other causes of acne are: hereditary factors, stress, bacteria in the pores, anabolic steroids, poor diet, inappropriate cosmetics, antidepressant medication or other drugs that contain chlorine, bromides, or iodine.
If you want to know some of the most efficient methods for preventing acne or removing its results, you will need to start with ensuring a proper hygiene. The skin, whether affected by acne or not, should be cleaned and washed daily, during both morning and evening. In addition to this, cleansing and toning are very important steps in skin care. Antibacterial lotions and masks for oily skin in the prevention and treatment are recommended for other aesthetic problems.
In addition to this, following a proper diet is also a recommended step. Acne can occur due to food as well so it is recommended to have in mind the following rules:
Eat fruits and vegetables - celery, carrots, tomatoes, lemons, oranges, vegetables and fruit juices, nettles, lettuce, onion and garlic will detoxify your body, which will be visible on the outside. Also, doctors recommend people who have acne to eat bread, whole grains and fish. Avoid chocolate, coffee, tobacco, alcohol, fizzy drinks, fast food meals, condiments and chips. Also, people who are prone to acne are recommended to stay away from dairy fat, fried foods, sweets, fats, mayonnaise, sour cream, fat and cheese.
If you have acne you should immediately ask a dermatologist for help. Following a consultation and analysis, your doctor will prescribe specific treatment for your needs. However, in addition to medication suggested by your dermatologist, you can use some natural solutions as well, in order to ensure that you will get rid of acne in the shortest time. First of all, treatment with lime is worth considering. Lemon is a fruit rich in detoxifying agents. It aims at purifying the skin and accelerating the drying pimples. Cut a slice of lemon and get off with it on the skin for 1-2 minutes. Let it act for another 15 minutes (try to ignore the itching) and rinse with warm water. Repeat treatment twice a day.
Alternatively, break an egg and separate the white from the yolk. Beat the white, spread it on your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Remove the mask with warm water and you will start noticing some results after a few hours. Finally, treatment with cucumber is another solution worth considering. Grate a cucumber and then rub your skin with the paste obtained. If you have patience, you can even apply the mask to the affected area and leave on for 15 minutes.
