• Top Secrets For Clearing Up Acne In Just Days

    In this article I want to share some of the top secrets for clearing up acne. I used to have severe acne for many years and it would not clear up no matter what treatment I tried. This was extremely frustrating and so by sharing this I hope to save you time and frustration in clearing up your acne.
    One great secret is that acne has a root cause that most people don't know about. This root cause is hormonal imbalance. By balancing the specific hormones that cause acne even the most severe acne clears up.
    This is a very different way to treating acne than how the conventional treatments go about it. For example antibiotics attempt to get rid of the bacteria on the skin that every person normally has. This eliminates the last stages of development of acne, until the bacteria mutates and becomes resistant to the antibiotics. The acne then comes back as a result. By treating the root cause of acne you don't have to worry about this latter stage of acne.
    Another secret about acne is that most cleansers and creams designed to fight acne actually make it much worse in the long term. This is because cleansers and creams tend to dry out the skin when used consistently for weeks at a time. The skin becomes dried out, but the body starts to overcompensate by producing more oil. This makes acne much worse and creates increasingly oily skin.
    Instead simply wash your skin with warm water and use a oil-free moisturizer (if you find your skin needs moisturizing). Avoid oil-based moisturizers as they can clog up your pores. Take it from someone who used dozens of different cleansers, they ultimately made my skin worse in the long run and simply washing with water has saved me lots of money.
    One way to balance your hormones is to avoid vegetable oils. These types of oils such as sunflower oil cause major hormonal imbalance and the kind of imbalance that causes severe acne. These oils are generally consumed as cooking oils so I recommend you use butter to cook with instead. They are also consumed in junk foods like potato chips and cookies so make sure you check the ingredients label before eating something that is ready-made and that way you'll be sure to avoid consuming lots of vegetable oil without realizing it, and causing yourself a breakout of acne in the process.
    By using these tips you'll see a dramatic clear up of your acne just like I did in just a matter of days.
