proactive acne cleansing

What exactly is proactive acne skincare?
It simply means being proactive in fighting acne. Not just fire fighting as in zap the zits when they appear, but preventing them from appearing in the first place.

Your skin reflects your overall state of health. An imbalance of hormones can trigger an acne breakout. Under stress, you body secretes more male hormones which cause your oil glands to produce more oil which would worsen acne. Dealing with the stress would prevent the acne breakout. Another interesting I found is the Thai herb Pueraria Mirifica.

I came across this herb when I read about its breast enhancing properties. It is the latest herb that caught the attention of the beauty industry in US, Europe and Japan for its ability to increase the breast size of anyone who takes it regularly. Anyone, including men. There was an amusing tale about a male monk who went to the doctor for help because his breasts grew. Later, they traced the root of his problem. He had been taking Pueraria Mirifica for its health benefits. I read more about studies done on this herbs. It has potent anti-aging properties - white hair turns black, skin and nails look healthy and youthful with regular intake of this herb which made it a traditional herb to use during menopause. What caught my attention was that women who took the herb daily found that their skin cleared in the third month.

At that time, I had been experiencing uncontrollable acne breakouts. Countless visits to the doctors did not help. Even with all my books on natural health care and therapies, I couldn't find a solution. I gave Pueraria Mirifica a try. After the third month, my skin actually cleared. Now I get the odd pimple occasionally but it is a far cry from my pre Pueraria Mirifica days when pimples covered my face. I've been taking the supplements regularly since then and my skin stayed clear. Yes, I had to change my bra and would have to change it again because of the other effects of Pueraria Mirifica but I'm not complaining. I'd say if you are a woman with an acne problem, this is one proactive acne treatment you can try, but you wouldn't see an improvement until after the third month, so this is a long term solution. This, however, is not an option for men, unless you don't mind your breasts growing as well.

If the air around you is polluted, your acne could be due to the air. Consider installing an air filter. Also, make it a point to clean your entire home, including the furniture. Dust in the air can clog your pores, leading to pimples. Change your bedsheet weekly if possible. Sleeping on a dirty pillow case can worsen your acne as you'd rub your face in the dirt while you sleep.

Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins. If your body is full of toxins, it would show in the state of your skin and general health. You might want to detox to clean up your system. People who went for colon irrigation reported clearer skin. You don't have to go to that extent, but you could take more fiber, or supplements to detox your colon. That should help the overall health of your body and your skin.

Proactive solutions take time to work. Use these measures in conjunction with acne treatments to end your acne problem.
