Tips
for Preventing Acne at Any Age
 (ARA) – From sweet 16 to fabulous
40 and beyond, acne is a condition that affects almost everyone
at some time in their lives. According to the National Institutes
of Health, nearly 85 percent of adolescents and young adults
between the ages of 12 and 24 develop the condition, and some
people continue to be affected into their forties and fifties.
“It’s important to
remember that acne has both internal and external causes,”
says Amy Baker, founder of Nature’s Cure, an innovative
health and beauty products company. “However, there are
some basic precautions you can take to help prevent breakouts.”

Here are some tips from Baker
for people of any age who want to keep their skin clear:
* Don’t pick, pop or squeeze,
or otherwise mess with your skin. Squeezing blemishes or whiteheads
can lead to infection or scarring. It almost always makes the
acne you have worse.
* Wash your pillowcase often
and always use clean face towels. Dirty towels and pillowcases
can harbor bacteria and germs that can make acne worse.
* Be sure to pull your hair away
from your skin when you sleep.
* Try to shower as soon as possible
after your workout since sweat combined with skin oils can trap
dirt and bacteria in your pores.
* Don’t go to bed with makeup
on. It can clog your pores and lead to breakouts.
* Make sure to clean cosmetic
brushes regularly in soapy water and throw out old, contaminated
makeup. |

* Use topical treatments, such
as Nature's Cure Vanishing Cream, anywhere that you tend to get
breakouts -- don't just spot-treat existing pimples. The pore-clogging
process happens two to three weeks before any blemish becomes
visible on the skin.
For a more complete treatment
option, there is an innovative over-the-counter remedy called
Nature’s Cure. “Because acne is caused by a combination
of factors, including internal triggers that can cause imbalances
inside the body, and an overproduction of oil and trapped bacteria
on the outside, the most effective way to treat it is by addressing
both areas,” explains Baker. “The treatment includes
all natural tablets to rebalance the body, and a cream that works
to clear up existing pimples at the same time,” she adds.
* Exercising regularly can help
reduce stress and it increases blood circulation and oxygen penetration
to the skin, which may help to prevent acne.
* Drink at least 64 ounces of
water a day to help "detoxify" the body from the inside
out.
By taking these simple precautions,
most people can reduce the occurrence of acne. There are also
a variety of products available to help in healing or preventing
breakouts. However, consumers should be careful about what they
choose to use.
“Most acne prevention products
either don’t work very well or have a litany of side effects,”
says Baker. “Unlike other options, Nature’s Cure is
a homeopathic treatment that is made from minerals, herbs and
other natural extracts that activate the body’s natural
defenses. Because these ingredients are in minute concentrations,
they trigger the body to heal itself without side effects.”
The formula is available in a male and female version. “Male
and female bodies and hormonal compositions are different, and
you have to address those differences when you are treating acne,”
says Baker.
Nature’s Cure also offers
a two-part body acne treatment that includes tablets and a medicated
body spray that can be sprayed from any angle to treat hard-to-reach
places like the back and neck. |
