Dad Creates Home Remedy for Acne
by Todd Massey
Todd Massey, a father of a young teenage son, has created a natural acne remedy using some easily obtained herbal ingredients shown to be effective at helping to heal the skin and kill the acne bacteria.Any acne, but especially teenage acne, can be stressful, humiliating and even traumatic in today's society. That does not even include the physical damage acne can render to a person's face with scarring and pock marks.'This is such a simple thing I can give my son but it will make a big difference in his life.' said Mr. Massey, while discussing the social trauma of acne. Some people have little success with standard acne treatments, such as benzoyl peroxide which can cause the skin to dry out or are looking for an herbal alternative instead of another prescription pill. Now, those acne sufferers interested in a home remedy for acne have a new option.'Since I started putting my herbal acne treatment on my son's face, just one time a night, he has not had any of those ugly white pimples. This simple treatment keeps the acne at bay by killing the acne infection and prevents full blown acne pimples.'When asked how he created his natural acne treatment Mr. Massey replied, 'Some simple research. I knew herbal treatments had helped with some ailments we have had in the past and I just began looking into which natural ingredients had the best history in fighting acne and also I looked at the ingredients listed on the labels of a lot of top selling herbal acne products.''From there I collected some of the best ingredients, mixed them up in some olive oil and tried it on myself first. Even as a 40 year old man I was still having acne problems. After a few weeks and some tweaking I narrowed my formula down to just 2 herbal ingredients and then I tried it on my son.'How were the results? 'Well, I was pretty amazed at how fast and effective my natural acne remedy turned out to be. I knew that my acne had been completly cleared up but his acne is different. He has entered the teenage years where the acne can be severe and constant.'What about the availability of the ingredients you use? How easy is it for someone else to recreate what you did?'Very easy. Very cheap also. I can get the ingredients at a Target store or WalMart and it only costs me about $5 a month on average to treat my son. Plus these herbal ingredients are not only gentle on the skin with no drying, but there are also skin healing benefits'
Todd Massey, the Author of 2 popular herbal remedy books has said anyone can easily make his Natural Acne Treatment at home.
Adults Don't Get Acne! Do They?
Adults Don't Get Acne! Do They?
by Dave Robinson
Skin problems not only effect those in their teens, adult acne is also a very common occurrence, in today's society. Adult women are more apt to suffer from acne than men. Adult men are at higher risk in terms of permanent scaring, caused by acne problems. Contrary to what most people think, adult acne is NOT caused by improper hygiene.
In truth, acne is caused by a number of different things. Oily skin, hair ducts that do not close as they should and infection are three key factors which lead to skin problems. These factors remain the same, in both adults and teens. (How's that for thinking you wouldn't get acne, because you are an adult.)
Pimples occur when dead skin, small deposits of fatty tissue and keratin get clogged in a hair duct. When the duct is open, this clogging produces a "blackhead". When the duct is closed, it is referred to as a "whitehead". Because a whitehead is closed, in most cases, it will eventually rupture. This bursting causes the redness and infection of adult acne.
There are many myths associated with adult acne. Dermatologists tell us that acne is not caused by eating chocolate, fish or oily foods. Stress, in itself, does not cause acne. However, there are certain stress-relieving drugs that have been known to cause skin conditions.
Acne does not clear up faster if you wash your face several times a day or sit out in the sun. Acne is not caused by dirt. Washing your face many times a day can actually do more harm than good. Sitting in the sun only darkens your skin and can cause scaring.
Remember, if you are battling a skin condition, you are not alone. There are numerous ways to treat the problem. You do not have to live with adult acne forever!

What You Should Know About Acne
What You Should Know About Acne
by Amber Lowery
There are many different types of acne and with that come many theories, myths, and treatments. The exact cause of acne remains a mystery. Why some pores are affected by acne and others aren’t, is not known. Each case of acne is as complex as the individual battling it and a treatment that works on one person’s acne may not work on yours.Acne obviously has physical effects but it can also have psychological effects, especially in teens. Most teenagers already feel awkward and different, add acne to the equation and they are identifiably different. Most teenagers with acne tend to have lower self esteem, than their peers with clear skin, and are not involved in as many activities.Adult acne is on the rise and can also be very difficult to deal with. Due to the changes that our skin goes through as we mature, scarring is often worse in adults with acne than in teens with acne. Adults with acne are also less likely than teens to seek treatment for their acne, leaving them to suffer alone.Whether you are an adult with acne or a teenager with acne, your acne probably falls into one of a two main categories, inflammatory acne or non-inflammatory acne. If you have blackheads or whiteheads, or both, then you have non-inflammatory acne. Inflammatory acne can be a little harder to identify. Inflammatory acne is characterized by papules, pustules, and in more serious cases, nodules or cysts.Once you have determined which category your acne falls into, you can explore the treatment options for your acne. Keep in mind that even if you have tried several different acne treatments to no avail, there is always something else to try for your acne. There are new acne treatments coming up left and right and the next new acne treatment might be the one that goes directly to work attacking your acne and leaving you with the clear skin you’ve longed for.
