Natural skin care to treat acne is clearly the best option not only for your appearance, but also for your overall health. While taking hormones and using other types of medications in topical treatments may work for some more serious conditions, most people can benefit most by seeking natural means of healing. Avoiding these dangerous drugs can not only help your skin more in the long run, but it can also prevent lasting damage to the hormone-producing glands within you, as well as untold potential side effects on your other organs.
Acne is a chronic skin condition characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, whiteheads, oily skin, and sometimes even scarring later on. Acne is caused by a combination of reasons, most likely genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, an excessive amount of oil glands in the skin, and can also be exacerbated by smoking and even the food you eat. Other factors that can affect your skin and promote acne include the types of fibers in your clothes, the products you use to clean your skin and clothes, cosmetics, and stress in your life.
Since the precise cause of your acne is never entirely clear, your chances of curing your condition will vary. Seeking the help of a naturopathic doctor and/or an acupuncturist can help treat more systemic and difficult-to-treat conditions, but less serious problems can often be helped by properly trained estheticians who perform natural-based facials. A spa or clinic that has a skilled esthetician at its disposal is even more valuable if it also employs a naturopath or Chinese medicine practitioner whom you can see at the same time. Your esthetician should be able to recommend what type of therapy is best suited to your needs.
During a facial, your esthetician will initially cleanse your face, and you can then use a variety of different treatment options, such as facial masks, steam, and even facial massage. Heavy exfoliation is likely to be avoided if certain medications or skin care products have been used, for example, any product containing Retin A (which is quite toxic to your body). Natural skin care products to treat acne should be as organic and natural as possible, since your skin and the rest of your body don’t need the extra work it takes to process chemicals. In fact, adding unnecessary and toxic chemicals to your skin only worsens your overall health. Sacrificing your long-term health isn’t worth it for a short-term gain in skin’s appearance, and it’s not even necessary if you’re looking for a properly trained esthetician at a good spa or clinic.
When seeking natural skin care treatments from a qualified esthetician, be sure to provide as much detail as possible about your skin care history, including all medications you have taken in the past and are currently taking.
