Beyond Know How

The best acne treatments are always going to be the ones that work.  What works great for me, probably won’t work that well for you.  You might see some results, but it’s impossible to say that one treatment is going to be highly effective for two people.  The reason for this is that everyone’s skin is different, and has a different balance between sensitivity, oil, and moisture.  What this means for you is that you have to try out a bunch of different products before you can decide which one is the best.  As soon as you think that you might have one that works, stick with it for a few bottles to see if it gives you the results that you’re looking for.  If you jump from brand to brand without giving each the time they need to work, you’re going to be disappointed because the medication will not have had the time it needs to really be effective.

Basil is an extremely effective, but little known home treatment for acne. Basil has natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help relieve redness, heal infection and soothe the skin. It is very simple to use. To brew a basil tea for acne treatment, two or three fresh or dried basil leaves for at least fifteen minutes. Once the tea has cooled pour it through a sieve to strain. After you have washed your face, dip a cotton ball into the cooled tea, squeeze out the excess moisture and apply to your face two times a day. The basil tea will help to heal blemishes and get rid of your acne. Your skin will feel cool, refreshed, soft and supple. Store unused tea in the refrigerator.

If you are looking for a great way to rid of some unsightly chest acne then you should check out a cool article that I found about the topic.  It outlines some of the reasons that people will seek out chest acne treatments and genreally provides a lot of good, high quality information about the topic.

I personally don’t suffer from chest acne of any kind, but I have know a few people in my day that have been afflicted with chest acne in a terrible way.  It didn’t look like they sought out any form of treatment for it since it seems like they always had it.  This was back in high school and I think they were using steroids which would be a pretty good reason for them to have acne to bad.  That stuff will mess with your syttem really bad.

Anyway, feel free to check out the article about how to treat chest acne – it was pretty interesting.

In the great debate over which acne treatment works the best, it usually comes down to Proactiv and Acne Free products.  Put simply, both products work similarly, but cost very differently.  If you have sensitive skin, you may want to fork over the extra cash to get Proactiv because it will be much gentler on your face than Acne Free will.  In the end, it is your decision and your money.  I would buy Acne Free for the huge money savings since my skin is not at all sensitive.  The decision is yours, and both products will give you similar results as long as you give them plenty of time to work.  Do not expect results the first few days after starting any acne medication or treatment.

You may have seen commercials for blackhead removal tools that suck the insides of the pimples out with a small vacuum.  Do these things really work like the commercials say they do?  Do not get your hopes up, it did not work for me.  The inside of the machine got clogged after a few uses and the entire thing stopped working (no, my skin is not that bad!!).  It worked great for the first two blackheads, then after that it was completely useless.  It is a good thing that I got it as a gift, because I certainly would not pay any sort of money for a product like that.  You might have better results than I did, but I would not bet any money on it!

Learning to stop acne from coming back is the key to clearing your skin.  Preventing breakouts will allow your skin to finally shine through.  Acne can be prevented through a healthy diet, drinking tons of water, and using acne medication.  If your diet is based around vegetables, fruit, and nuts your body will fight acne on its own and with an increased water intake will flush the extra toxins out of your body.  Using acne medication to clear your skin is also a great idea.  You must be sure to choose a brand and stick with it to see long term results.  If you don’t see the results right away, be patient.  You have to give the medication time to work and clear your skin.
