Acne can be prevented or significantly reduced with a combination of good diet and excellent hygiene.
Acne is caused by the sebaceous glands in your skin making too much oil.
This excess oil combines with cells lining your sebaceous glands, clogging the pores in your skin.
Sometimes bacteria can make its way into these clogged pores causing a pimple.
Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands in their production of oil. This is why the onset of puberty and other hormonal changes can bring on a bout of acne.
Insulin and Acne.
Loren Cordain, professor of health and exercise at the Colorado State University suggests that excess levels of insulin in your body can elevate growth factors and hormones.
This could then stimulate the overproduction of oil and skin cells leading to the clogging of your pores.
Cordain goes on to recommend a diet of fruit and vegetables low on the glycemic index and animal proteins like fish and meat.
The diet Cordain recommends is almost identical to the diet recommended in One Hour to Glorious Health.
Hygiene and Acne.
Gentle washing of your face and body with a good quality natural soap and warm water can prevent the build up of oil in your pores.
Done twice a day this should significantly reduce the incidence of acne.
The quality of the soap you use is critical. It should contain high quality emollients to replenish your skin.
To learn more about how washing with natural soap can reduce or prevent
Acne check out the research paper on acne at the web site www.advancedhygiene.com.
DON’T TOUCH, SQUEEZE OR PICK AT PIMPLES.
This can increase the chance of secondary infection and leave permanent scars on your face.
I hope this helps.
