All of us have felt uncomfortable when those little pimples appear on our skin. Perhaps even causing the suspension of any commitment we might have. So, we eliminated greasy food from our diets and started a daily skin hygiene program. We even discontinued the use of our favorite make up or stopped shaving because it was too painful. What is worst, our skin isn't getting better. The truth is that this common skin disorder called acne is not going to resolve with those changes. Luckily, the solution exists and the best part is that it is a natural one.

Biology Solution in Acne Cure

Common acne (acne vulgaris), is an inflammatory skin disorder that can lead to a bacterial infection. Our skin is full of pores where we have hair follicles. Just think of a cross-section of the skin layers. Hair crosses the three skin layers ending in the dermis where we have the follicle associated with a sebaceous gland that secretes sebum, which has the function of hair and skin protection. These glands are related to hormonal responses, and are especially affected by the increased testosterone production during puberty. Sebaceous glands begin to secrete more sebum that mix with dead skin cells leading the pores to clog and trap bacteria that cause big and painful inflammations (pimples) that can spread to our face, neck, chest, back or upper arms. Sometimes, we get pus-filled pimples as a result of the body's immune system reacting to the infection. There are three different types of bumps: whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. A whitehead appears when a pore gets clogged-up and bulges out from the skin; a blackhead is produced when too many skin cells clog the pore and; a pimple is a result of sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells that make their way under the skin, usually after a lesion has appeared in the pore. Frequently, acne disappears after puberty but in some cases we have to live with it an entire life time. In addition you can get acne scarring as a result of acne lesions and tissue repair.

Biological Ingredients Without Bieffects

An acne cure including creams, soaps, pills, antibiotics etc, can last from months or even years, and in the long run can damage your body. The best alternative is using natural skin care treatments because compounds extracted from our natural surrounding have many compounds with beneficial properties for our body. The willow Salix nigra is a perfect example since Salycilic acid, a very beneficial compound, is extracted and used for acne cure. This biological ingredient helps slowing down the shedding of the cells so they don't clog the pore, and what is best, it doesn't irritate the skin unlike the synthetic one. Helix aspersa, (garden snail) is another good example from nature from which is extracted glycoconjugates and antioxidants with skin regenerative characteristics. There are evidences of these regenerative qualities found in scientific studies one in Spain and USA, being a good repair agent in the treatment of acne, scars and also stretch marks. Another natural ingredient is the modified carbohydrate glucomannan extracted from the Japanese Konjac root that facilitates the dispersion of sebum into droplets by reducing the surface tension of this oil.

Cure Acne and Treat Your Skin

Skin care treatments seems to get more and more complex as the years go by, but keeping your trust in products elaborated with natural ingredients is a healthy way of keeping a complex topic simple. Natural treatments have a benefit because they offer a lasting solution to skin problems without side effects. Moreover, most products are nothing more than a synthetic imitation of natural ingredients. So, if nature gives us real solutions, why would we want to use the fake ones?
