Your Lifestyle and Acne

My friend, the truth is that the acne skin disorder that you are currently dealing with has A LOT to do with your lifestyle and habits. Your eating habits, environment and mental fitness all play a great role in determining your body's health and that also means they are all connected to how good your skin and appearance look on the outer side.

I am a firm believer that your inner health reflects your outer appearance. And by health I am not just saying physical health but mental health also.

Stress

Here's a good example: Stress causes many health complications and is a sign of poor mental health. If your stress level is very high you can trigger hair loss and acne for example. If you think positive and have ways to cope up with your daily stress then there is no reason why you can't achieve a clear acne-free skin soon enough.

Exercise and Sweating

In our fast paced world where most of us have no extra time to exercise, obesity has now become a major trend. I can only say that a huge portion of the people in the Western world are now obese or overweight. Exercising gives you a lot of health benefits, so why not start exercising everyday from today onwards? Moderate exercise decreases skin inflammation and can help accelerate the healing process of acne.

Your Diet

What you choose to put into your mouth can have a very direct effect on your skin's quality, condition and complexion. A high fat, high sugar diet can trigger an acne breakout easily. By eating in more fruits and vegetables and cutting down on processed foods, you will be able to clear up your skin greatly.

Lastly, if you need more tips and tactics as well as a good step-by-step system to cure acne for good, make sure you click here now.

Your Bowel Health and Clear Skin

One of the most important steps to get rid of acne in African American acne sufferers is by improving the bowel's health.

Bowel health is essential for clear skin - I am sure many people do not know this. If your gut is slow and inefficient to remove waste products then your skin will be the alternative "waste dumping" channel that the body will utilize. For this reason, acne can be caused by a poor bowel health.

Make sure you remember that your skin is one of the body's natural waste elimination organ so you don't want it to have to compensate for poor waste disposal and constipation. If your bowel health is poor, then your body is going to use your skin to dispose the garbage and your body does it with acne.

Here are some of the best ways to improve your bowel's health so that you will be able to get rid of acne.

  • It's important to eat the right foods for good bowel health. Make sure you eat in more insoluble fiber rich foods.
  • Get soluble fibers from apples and pears.
  • Drink plenty of water to moisturize your intestines to ensure better bowel movement.
  • Exercise more.
  • Fasting
Above are some of the most simple and effective ways to improve your bowel health. By having a good bowel, you will be able to get rid of acne quickly since the skin does not have to act as a waste elimination organ.

Lower Your Oil Production

Oily skin = excessive production of sebum.
Increased level of sebum production is most of the time caused by heightened production and secretion of hormone androgens.

For this reason, it's very important to find out how you can lower the production of androgens which stimulate the facial glands to produce more facial oil. I have talked about how to improve your liver's condition and health in order to neutralize any damaging and acne-causing effects of excess hormones.

This post is all about how to lower the production of your facial oil regardless of how well functioning your liver is. But that does not mean that you should not care about your liver. In fact, if you wish to get quick and permanent acne-free skin, you should work on these two areas consistently. By doing so you will be able to prevent acne permanently.

Explanation:
The amount of testosterone produced and released by your body stimulate the oil glands underneath your skin to produce more and more facial oil. This excessive production of facial oil can often times lead to clogged pores and acne.

The way to reduce oil production is by increasing the number of good prostaglandins in your body. Hormones  are order-givers, and prostaglandins are like "managers". If your body has a lot of good prostaglandins, any excess of androgens will not lead to acne.

But how can you increase the amount of good prostaglandins in your body so that you will be able to cut down on the production of facial oil by your oil glands. Here are the best ways:

  1. Take an omega-3 supplement. Omega-3 is the main ingredient for good prostaglandins. It's anti-inflammatory too and can speed up the recovery time.
  2. Eat in more zinc-rich food. Zinc helps to convert fats into good prostaglandins. It's vital for optimum immune system too. The simplest way to provide your body with sufficient amount of zinc is by taking a good zinc supplement, obviously.
  3. Avoid dairy products. Dairy products such as animal fats, milk, cheese and butter contain small amounts of arachidonic acid, which is the main building block for bad, low quality prostaglandins that increase oil gland activity.
  4. Vitamin A has been found to be a great way to reduce skin's oil production. For this reason, you should start eating in more carrots today!
By following the tips that are contained in this article, any African American with acne will be able to reduce the production of oil. This will directly prevent pore blockage and acne will be permanently prevented since acne only starts occurring when a pore gets blocked.

Your Liver - The Key to Acne Free Skin In African American

Your liver is the major detoxifying organ of your body.

Any harmful substances and toxins that find their way into your body will be neutralized and detoxified by the liver. And you might not know this, but the health of your liver can greatly affect your skin's quality.

Why your liver is so important:

Hormonal imbalance exists in anyone regardless of race. If your body produces excessive hormone androgens, your oil glands underneath your skin get over-stimulated and as a result produce more and more facial oil or sebum.

This will directly increases the chance of your pores getting clogged by the sebum mixture which is made of your facial oil, dead skin cells and surface dirt. This will then ultimately lead to acne when bacteria start feasting on the sticky and oily mixture and your body's immune system starts "bombing" the infected area.

If your liver is working at a great and optimum level, then any excess hormones produced and released by the body will get filtered and disposed by the liver. As a result, you will be able to prevent and cure acne by just improving the health of your liver.

So my dear friend, one of the first and most vital steps to clearing up acne in African Americans, as well in other races, is to detoxify your liver so that its capacity and efficiency are improved.

Now that you understand why it is important to have a good working condition liver. But you probably don't have any idea how right now.

So what are the best ways to cleanse your liver and improve its performance?

Here are the best ways:

  • First of all, know that any toxins and chemical substances contained in your food are filtered by your liver. Cut down on the consumption of foods that contain high amounts of coloring, flavoring and preservatives. Going organic and green is the best diet if that is possible.
  • The liver-maintaining nutrients include magnesium, omega-3, vitamin B-complex, selenium, zinc.
  • The best herbal remedy to cleanse your liver is milk thistle and it works really well.
  • Drink more water. Water cleanses your body and reduces the workload of your liver.
Any African American with acne can greatly improve their chances of getting rid of acne by just following these liver-boosting tips. I urge you to take action on the things that you have learned in this article. Again if you need more help with acne, make sure you get Acne No More.

What Causes Acne In African American

Acne is a skin disorder that is not picky. Anyone can get some acne here and there anytime. My point here is that acne occurs in individuals with darker skin just for the same reasons it can affect others with a fairer skin. In other words - anyone is prone to acne and the real difference lies in the severity.

Regarding the causes of acne I can only say that it's caused by a very complex chain of events that happen underneath your body.

Anyone of the following can cause an acne breakout:

  1. A poor diet which lowers your body's immune system and affects the hormonal system greatly until more androgens are produced by your pituary gland - the body part that controls the amount of hormones produced by your body.
  2. High dairy product consumption. If you are an avid fan of dairy products, then chances are you have raised level of hormone production. Excessive androgens mean more oil is produced by your body.
  3. Overuse of cosmetics.
  4. Insufficient amount of sleep which lowers your body's immune system greatly and puts your hormonal production in a state of imbalance.
  5. Harsh cleansers and soap.

Skin Care for Acne In African American

THANKS A LOT FOR STAYING WITH ME!



This article is about the basic skin care routine for African-American.

Generally speaking, African Americans have darker skin tones that others. Darker skin provides you with a lot of medical advantages. For having a darker skin, your skin is more resistant to sunburns, skin cancer and wrinkles. As you grow older, your skin's natural characteristics help to fight skin aging.

However, as an African-American you do have a few disadvantages which are:
  1. Dark spots and acne scars are more likely to appear on your face. So I have taken this into account and specifically created a system that is gentle yet effective at the same time. I have done so to prevent scarring and dark spots on your skin.
You will also find that acne and the redness which accompanies it are not very visible on your skin due to a darker skin tone.

So what the African-American with acne needs are a gentle skin care routine and a holistic treatment that works effectively and quickly.

Here are some tips regarding creating your own unique skin care routine:
  • First of all, you must avoid overly drying cleansers and soaps - if your face feels dry after cleansing then the product that you are currently using should be discarded right away. You don't want your face to get irritated by the cleanser as irritated skin tends to be more prone to acne.
  • Unwashed hands may have bacteria on them so you will want to clean your hands before washing your face.
  • Using your fingertips and massage the cleansing lotion/foam on your face before rinsing.
  • Rinse your face at least 5 times to ensure thorough removal of the cleanser.
  • Use a clean towel to gently dry your face.
