Ringworm, Acne & Skin Care

There’s now known to be a strong co-relation between the state of our body ie our health and the care we take of our body, whether it be food, exercise, clean air, levels of stress, etc. - in short, the external state of our body merely reflects how well we’ve cared for it. Essentially, acne is caused by an internal condition and there are additional external conditions that interfere with the healing process.  A part of the program of natural acne remedies will need to consider the external acne triggers.  It is especially important that the natural external treatment works in with the holisitic program.

You really need to improve external skin hygiene if you’re to make any inroads at all in clearing up your acne.  There’s no point making the effort with creams or with detoxes and flushes, if all this is to be negated by infection caused by poor external skin care.

You’ll need to balance your skin pH levels, making it healthy looking and smooth.   It’s like this….   If you have a swimming pool in your backyard, you’ll know the trouble you go through to get the water in your pool perfectly balanced so that the chlorine is most effective and algae doesn’t take over.  Similarly, the water in our bodies.  Our bodies are mostly water and it needs to be in perfect pH balance for optimal efficiency.

Part of your daily routine is to eat the foods to achieve skin pH balance. This will include legumes and leafy green vegetables and avoid acidic foods. 

 Cleanse your face with a gentle antiseptic and antibacterial natural soap like tea tree oil soap. These natural acne remedies will help minimise the swelling, redness and reduce irritation andthe flakiness that is common with over the counter cleansers.

These are simple steps you can incorporate in your daily cleansing routine.  First of all, gently steam your face to open the pores.  Pour boiling water into a wide shallow bowl, put your face over the steam and cover your head and bowl with a tea towel, to direct the steam to your face. Then, apply the gentle 100% natural soap using gentle circular motions to your face. Gently, rinse with water and pat dry with a clean cotton towel.

It is not necessary nor advisable to use an astringent. Caution: Do not overwash your face.  Astringents and overwashing dehydrate your complexion, which is the last thing you want as this only worsens irritations, increases inflamations and results in more breakouts.

It is advisable to drink more pure distilled water so as to flush out your system.

Another natural acne remedy is to moisturise your face using a good quality organic moisturizer.  As usual, with any product, it is best to test a little of the product before using it. Just place  a little dab on your chin to check your skin’s reaction to it.
