In this article I want to share some top tips for clearing up acne using non-conventional methods. Once you've tried the usual conventional acne treatments without success, including antibiotics, Accutane and the many topical creams and cleansers it's time to try some natural ways that can clear up even severe acne.
I used to have severe acne and one of the ways that I found best helped prevent cystic acne breakouts was by avoiding vegetable oil. Vegetable oil cause hormonal imbalance and the worst kind of acne so by avoiding it I stopped breaking out in cysts and the nasty acne I would normally get.
Another great tip I think is fantastic is being careful which moisturizer you use. Ones with oil in them tend to clog up pores and cause breakouts or worsen existing acne. Find a moisturizer that is oil-free, which are common place and exist in the same shops that sell oil-based moisturizers.
I don't like to use a cleanser these days as I found they are a waste of money. What I've found to be better than any cleansers is simply warm water splashed on my face. This works sufficiently to clean your skin without drying it out. When the skin becomes dried out the body produces more oil to compensate and this produces more acne. Most cleansers therefore worsen acne in the long run, especially chemical based ones which tend to dry the skin out.
On the same note using creams and gels like benzoyl peroxide which severely dry the skin out is something I would avoid again because drying your skin out worsens acne in the long term.
One of the best things you can do for generally clearer skin all over your face and body is to drink plenty of water. I recommend to drink about 1-2 liters of water a day. The best water is spring water but this can be expensive, so try using filtered tap water. Tap water that is not filtered is fine if you don't have the alternative, but spring and filtered water is preferable.
Lastly, stress can be a major cause of acne because it can lead to hormonal imbalance. For this reason any stress reducing activities or techniques are extremely helpful for your skin. This can be anything from exercise and sports, to socializing or meditation. Each individual finds different things relaxing and it's important to do these everyday. Too much stress definitely causes breakouts so avoid really stressful situations or being stressed out for prolonged periods of time.
