Maintaining clear skin after curing acne

When you first start with getting rid of your acne, you may go through many products and dermatologists before you end up with a solution that works for your acne.

If you are like most acne sufferers, you will probably have a whole drawer full of acne products that didn't work. I really think that we should somehow recycle all of those products. Maybe somehow send those off to the next person for trial and error.

Small problems with acne can usually be fixed with over the counter products. Moderate to severe acne usually requires prescription medication or more aggressive treatments. If you don't make some major changes, you will have issues getting rid of acne.\

In AaronsAcne.com, Aaron describes how he took on his severe cystic acne and completely cured it using natural methods. Yes you read that right, no dermatologist office visits, no prescription medication or over the counter acne products, just all plain natural stuff. The biggest factor in getting rid of his severe acne was a diet change. You are what you eat is not just an expression.

Acne is caused by bacteria and sugar feeds bacteria. So if your diet consists of a lot of sugar, you are literally feeding your acne so it can stay around longer. If you want more info on what Aaron has done and the changes he has made, check out is 6 step process for yourself at Aarons Acne Cure

Over the counter acne medications

There are so many different over the counter acne medications available today. Various creams, gels, ointments and 3-step programs pack the aisles at your local drugstore.

If you have just started to get acne, you may experience some success with over the counter medications. If your acne is persistant or more severe, you may not see any success with the drugstore medications.

Persistant acne sometimes requires drastic action, perhaps a diet and lifestyle change. There are some prescription medications that do work with acne, but you will need to see a dermatologist to get the prescription. Sometimes derms have a serious waiting time to get an appointment for the first visit.

The natural method, involving a diet and lifestyle change is absolutely possible and Aaron, from www.aaronsacne.com will show you exactly how he did it. He tackled a serious cystic acne problem with a diet change and is almost completely acne free today--about 6 months later. Stay tuned for his 6 step process to a natural acne treatment.

Diet and Acne

Diet is an integral part of your health. Your body fuels on what you put in it. Just like a car, if you put the wrong fuel in, the car will break down or simply not work right.

Acne can be linked directly to a diet packed full of sugar. Sometimes you may not even realize the amount of sugar you intake every day. If you start reading all the labels on the foods you eat, you will be greatly surprised.

So, if you want to get rid of your acne, the first step that you can take is to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. This approach will also help you to lose weight--in case you have a dual goal.

Acne treatments



After several months of trying various home remedies for acne, I have decided to try out the Clinique method. This is a 3 step program---very similar to many other popular treatments on the market today.



The first step is a foaming cleanser. The second step is a cream that you apply and the third step is the acne treatment cream.



The products can only be purchased from a department store, hence the high price.



I will post in several weeks as to the status of this treatment. Will it work? Or will it be just like all the other treatments I have tried?

Treating Acne

Acne is a very troublesome issue that many teens have to deal with. If you do a little bit of research on acne you will discover that there are many different causes and triggers for acne. Research is ongoing and nothing is for certain, but a little bit of information can go a long way to help clear up acne.

The natural method involves many inexpensive over-the-counter products. Here is a list of several that are recommend. This info is use at your own risk. Always consult with your medical doctor before undertaking any new treatment method.

1. Tea Tree Oil. Make a mixture of 1 part tree tree oil to 10 parts water (you can experiment with the solution to get the right mix) and apply the solution to your acne 3 times a day. This mixture seems to do the same thing as many over the counter acne creams, except it doesn't dry the skin as much.

2. The castor oil method. Some dermatologists recommend this method. At night, heat up a medium size bowl of water and exposed your face to the steam for 10 minutes. Then apply castor oil to your acne before bed.

3. Taking supplements. Some acne research indicates that the cause of acne is a bacteria or yeast. Taking a garlic tablet and an acidopylus (sp?") supplement can help to cause the bacteria that may be causing acne.

Of course, results will vary with the natural treatments. Some people have results with the over the counter acne creams and ointments and some people have had results with the natural treatments.

The rule is, if what you are doing works to reduce or eliminate acne, then keep doing it!
