The Importance of Maintaining Hormone Balance for Your Skin

May 5, 2010
By

Tweet Have you ever heard of the word acne? Well, it is a skin disorder, mainly caused by some hormonal imbalance. There are a whole host of problems, symptoms, and conditions which are caused by hormonal imbalance in your body. Hormones are responsible for the regulation of many important functions; among them are: cell metabolism, muscle metabolism, balance of our internal environment, sexual and reproductive function, sleep and growth cycles, and the burning and storing of fat. In regards to acne, hormones also control and regulate your skin oil production. Oil secreted by skin is also known as sebum....

Rose Water : Uses for Your Skin

April 1, 2010
By

Tweet I have to admit, I’ve been totally ignorant as to what rose water actually is when I’ve seen it in ingredients in my skin care and body care products (of course, it’s only in the natural ones I buy sometimes, which I do prefer to stick to).  I’ve never actually thought it had to do with roses, which is silly because the name implies – no, smacks you in the face with the fact that it is made some how with roses.  I just thought maybe it was a pretty name for something completely different, or was named...

Acne is Trapped Bacteria

October 29, 2009
By

Tweet Isn’t it kind of weird to think that if the bacteria that normally lands on our skin on a daily basis, just from exposure to the elements alone, were to escape off the surface of our skin like it normally should if we didn’t have over active sebaceous glands that trapped it in oil that is on the surface of the skin, we wouldn’t have to worry about acne? That’s why acne and oily skin go hand in hand, one wouldn’t exist without the other, and vice versa. So, you have to attack acne one of two ways,...

Buying Dermacleanse Pills Again..

October 8, 2009
By

Tweet Well, I’m at an ultra stressful juncture of my life, planning a wedding with very little time to do so to my boyfriend of seven and a half years, and my skin is definitely showing the stress in the way of new acne lesions, as it always does and always has for the past twenty or so years. But I know something that always works for me in that arena, and since I have a little over one month until we get married in Las Vegas, I can use the Dermacleanse capsules to ensure that my skin is...

An Acne Fighting Chocolate?

July 25, 2009
By

Tweet Well, this may be one of the coolest inventions ever – if it truly works.  For those of you who have heard the ever perpetuated myth that “chocolate causes acne”, this is going to look really ironic, which I think is the point the makers of the new chocolate candy that is supposed to help you fight and treat acne were going for.  Of course, we do know that there is no truth to the thought that chocolate causes acne, but we do know that diets high in sugar can definitely aggravate acne, which is probably where the...

What Benefits Acne May Benefit Your Anti Aging Goals

October 11, 2008
By

Tweet What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, or so that’s how most everything in life goes if you believe fairy tales and cliches.  As far as your skin care routine and special treatments used for acne, sometimes the same thing that may be good for acne and acne scarring may also be good for aging skin. For example, the chemical peels that are good for aging skin are also many times good for acne since they can clear the pores as well as take layers of dead skin cells off and smoothe out old acne...

Anti Inflammatories and Acne

October 28, 2007
By

Tweet You’ve probably heard a lot about “anti inflammation” or anti inflammatories that naturally occur as a natural acne remedy or herbal acne remedy to be used to help quell what causes acne, which many times if rootly caused by hormones, but which is actually “carried out” by inflammation in the skin cells, which in turns causes those nasty little eruptions that you’re probably all too familiar with if you are reading this blog about acne.  So, what are some naturally anti inflamation foods, juices, fruits and veggies that can help fight acne and other unsightly skin problems like...

Did a Thermal Body Wrap Help My Acne?

July 29, 2007
By

Tweet I have just started a body wrap and cellulite reduction program through a local salon by me, and I think I may actually be getting a little fringe benefit that I wouldn’t have expected – less blemishes.  It’s either just because my hormones are really settled right now (coincidence), or that the thermal body wraps that are part of the regimen are helping my facial skin clarity and tone.  Not only have I noticed my blemishes improving, but my skin looks “fresh”. Of course, that could be because I’m sweating my butt off with every body wrap since...

And.. More on Natural Astringents!

March 29, 2007
By

Tweet Another natural astringent is a good old favorite, witch hazel, which is dirt cheap. Unfortunately, I’ve never liked the way witch hazel has worked on my skin personally, but I certainly can’t speak for everyone. Hey, if you want to try it, you don’t have much to lose since it’s cheap! Some other natural astringents are lemon juice and cucumber. Cucumber can not only be used under your eyes, as the famous cheap under-eye fix is known (putting a slice of cucumber under each eye has been used since I can remember for bags and to help tighten...

Tea Tree Oil : Verdict is Out..

March 16, 2007
By

Tweet I am currently testing a product, as I believe I’ve mentioned over the last few posts, and the one component of the product that I still can’t decide on is the Tea Tree Oil Toner.  I really do not like the smell, but I think that it cleans my pores very well.  Tea tree oil is a very potent natural astringent that is used as a natural antiseptic, and had just recently gained some notoriety for being beneficial in the natural treatment of acne, as a natural cleanser and toner that gets deep down in those pores and...
