"The cure is in the cause"
- Ruza Bogdanovich
After a cause of acne has
been established, a cure is
possible if that cause can
be eliminated.
That cause has now been discovered.
It isn't bacteria which was
one of the main theories.
Although acne is a pefect
environment for bacteria,
it wasn't the initial cause.
Anyone with or who has had
acne can tell you, including
myself, how many times a day
they've cleaned their faces
with anti-bacterial facial
wash and still faced new pimples
the next day.
The same goes for all the
other topical creams for acne
available which kill germs
and open up blocked pores.
These may provide temporary
relief, but you will never
experience acne free skin
by only focusing on acne from
the outside.
The real, and true causes
of acne are hormone imbalance,
water retention and toxins.
In this article I will cover
hormone imbalance.
Hormones are chemicals that
are produced by glands in
the body and circulate in
the bloodstream that control
numerous body functions including
sebum (skin oil) production
and regulation.
The hormones that are responsible
for acne are called androgens.
These androgens stimulate
the sebaceous glands (glands
in the skin that secrete oil
to the surface of the skin.)
When you have too many androgens
in the blood, your sebaceous
glands begin to over-produce
oil in the skin. It is not
only oil that will cause acne
but It's the initial problem
you want to resolve.
The next part of the problem
is toxins in the blood and
lymph. When your liver and
kidneys are not properly cleansing
the blood and are overloaded,
the liver is unable to properly
'deactivate' used hormones
and remove them from the body.
The combination of oil, bacteria
and toxins blocks pores. Inside
the blocked pores also are
bacteria which grow in a low-oxygen
environment. This bacteria
aggrevates the skin and causes
an inflammatory disease, otherwise
known as acne.
Hormone imbalance doesn't
only cause acne, but can be
responsible for many other
problems including: allergies,
fatigue, headaches, mood swings,
anger and insomnia.
For most teenagers, hormone
imbalance occurs during puberty
when the body is busy producing
hormones for growth, maturity
and reproduction.
Adult acne predominately arises
from the inability of the
liver and kidneys to effectively
eliminate excess hormones
and toxins from the blood.
In order to cure your acne
you have to be able to get
your hormones into balance
by feeding your body the key
nutrients that aid hormone
regulation in the glands and
also strengthen the liver
which is the other hormone
regulatory system.
Both of these are possible
and pave the way for clear,
smooth skin without zits,
blackheads or whiteheads.
