What causes acne breakouts?
This information guide was created to explain what causes sudden acne breakouts and how to cure them. It is a simple, tried and tested homemade acne treatment which has been giving consistent results to all types of acne sufferers. First, you will need to identify the things cause zits and pimples in your life. Once you read through my free guide, I believe you'll be equipped with the knowledge of things to do to get rid of acne vulgaris. I know there are many possible acne treatments out there, so I present this 'as is'. This is my remedy for myself, and it does work.
If you’re already performing an acne treatment, you’ll find that you can still use most of the information in the guide as it is based on a natural treatment. Even if you wish to continue a certain regimen you're on, you'll find that you can implement a small part of my regimen to see additional results, for example the acne facial treatment. This guide has 18 pages ideas, hints and detailed instructions on how to clear up your blemishes in two weeks. "That's the time it usually takes me, personally, to clear up from this treatment.
The most important statement that I have read, and I believe this to be true:
When body is functioning properly, and a certain level of health is reached, your acne will magically disappear. The perfect remedy.
So far I have gotten a lot of negative responses on this statement, people calling me a fool to believe that. Although it would be easier to simply remove that statement, I'd rather have a few people disagree with me than remove something I believe in.
( Lastly, I am not a medical doctor nor am I licensed to give medical advice. You should check with a licensed medical doctor and dermatologist before attempting anything mentioned in my guide. Also, I will include references whenever possible, but this is from my own personal experience using my homemade acne treatment. )
Let's get started:
Overview of the acne home remedy treatment
This guide will be written in the form of a personal log of what I personally do to clear up my acne. I believe it will be easier to follow and understand if you are following my remedy story. You'll also get a sense of what to expect while doing this regimen, and you'll quickly see that it's actually quite easy and quick to do. In order for it to work properly, you will need to actually do it. People are often quick to judge a home remedy without trying it first. Also, please be aware that I will not concentrate on all the variables and solutions, but these are the ones that work for me, on a consistent basis.
1) Inner monologue: What triggers my acne?
The first thought I had when I had crazy breakouts was: ok... now what caused this ? Now I'm not saying that it was eating something specific that caused me to have acne (because then, wouldn't everone who ate those foods have acne?), but I have noticed that there are certain causes for sudden acne breakouts. So what did I do ? I made a list of all the items I suspected worsend my acne.
Here was my list of causes:
Evaluation of the acne breakouts list:
I suspected a lot of things promoted acne, and a lot of those foods were really enjoyable! I didn't really want to give them up, at least not completely, especially not for a homemade acne treatment! Not to mention I didn't even have any hard evidence that these foods flared up my acne... I mean, I have eaten these things before without getting acne, so why would I assume they are harmful now. Not to mention, tons of people eat it those things and never get acne! Something must be wrong. But at the same time... I can vaguely recall eating those goodies in excess and then having a breakout 1-2 days later... what's happening?
Digestive track and acne
Well for me, because I have a poor digestive track (probably due to doing Accutane, the worst acne remedy), I have to watch out for foods that would otherwise 'clog up' my system. In a healthy body, you eat, absord all the necessary nutrients from the food and then expell the trash. However, what happens if I clog up my system is that the trash stays in my body for longer periods of time. This is not healthy. Imagine leaving chinese food out for 2 days in your home, what kind of odor would it have. Now the foods from the list that 'cloged' up my system were subs (with soggy bread and meat), poutine (fries and cheese), chicken wraps and pastries. All these foods would just sit in my system for days, reducing my bowel time (time it takes to go to the washroom) to days instead of something like a regular 12-24 hours.
Now, if you have a good digestive system, ignore these things as they aren't likely to affect you at all! Make this remedy your own by adapting it to your body, not mine.
Sugar and my acne triggers
Next on the my homemade trigger list: the sugars. Soft drinks, M&Ms (my favorite candy), chocolate, orange juice, ice cream, cookies. Now the reason sugar affects me is not because of the sugar itself... but because of the reaction my body has to the sugar. Anyone doubting this should read the best seller "The Perricone prescription" book.
I dont think that sugar is bad, but excessive amounts affects me. How much is excessive? That depends from person to person, in my case, it's fairly low.
Environmental acne triggers
Now, what about the mouthwash & gum ? Well, the mouthwash was one of those weird catalyts that everyone has at home ... when I started taking some on a regular basis, I noticed that I would break out near my mouth. And although I dont have any studies to back this up (hey, if I dont have anything, I'll tell you straight up) but there's a reason they say: "DO NOT SWALLOW" and not to give it to children. It's because it's not good for you! Of course I dont swallow it, but there is some mouthwash that remains in my mouth even after rinsing, and that gets absorbed through the linings in my mouth. What about the gum? Well... 90% of it has aspartame, which is renowed to be a poizon in high quantities. For some reason, I believe I am more sensitive to these things than regular people who do not have acne, and therefore I have to avoid it while others can go and chew on it all day. It's a personal thing and it's part of my personal homemade acne treatment.
Now some of you will know that they are not affected by diet, and others will realize that there might be some things that they should try and experiment with when fine tuning your remedy. Regardless of your situation, I would not call the other side 'wrong', nor do I care.
We are here to rid you of your acne, not your neighbour's.
