After all, it is very unreasonable to try to get rid of acne without eliminating the cause of their appearance. Such an attempt will be unsuccessful. In the best case, acne will simply disappear for a while - and then for a very short time. So, the presence of at least one of the following factors significantly increases the likelihood of developing acne:
- Changing the hormonal background
In some cases, acne is caused byis nothing more than a violation of the normal state of the hormonal background. Most often, this occurs during adolescence, during pregnancy, and also in the presence of certain diseases that affect the hormonal background of the body. That is why the appearance of acne should be a "wake-up call" - try not to postpone a visit to the doctor for an indefinite period.
- Unbalanced diet
You shouldn't be surprised by the appearance of acne in this case.if your diet is far from ideal. Too much sweets, flour, starch, fried fatty foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks and coffee - a sure way to acne. Eliminate the consumption of these products, replacing them with cereals, vegetables and fruits - ideally raw.
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
If a person has acne, do nota visit to a gastroenterologist will be unnecessary. Especially if a person has a predisposition to constipation. There is a very high probability that a person has some kind of gastrointestinal disease, which provokes skin problems.
Comprehensive measures

In any case, your main allies will be time, patience and consistency. And, of course, the right treatment method for you. By the way, be prepared for the fact that you will have to look for this method of eliminating acne on the face by trial and error - the same remedy may help someone, but for someone else it may be completely ineffective. In addition, we must not forget that the treatment should be strictly comprehensive:
- Balanced diet
First of all, review your menu.The list of prohibited products has already been given above - their consumption should be reduced to a minimum, and ideally eliminated altogether. Include in your diet as many raw vegetables and fruits, cereals, and high-fiber foods as possible. Don't forget about liquids - an adult should drink at least two liters of liquid per day. You can drink still water, natural unsweetened juices, fruit drinks, compotes, green and weak black tea.
- Vitamin and mineral complexes

The lack of certain vitamins and/or microelements also has a negative effect on the condition of human skin. You should not buy vitamins on your own - you can buy the wrong ones.

You think that washing your face before going to bed is...enough? You are very much mistaken. The facial care procedure consists of several stages. The first stage: cleansing - it must be done at least twice a day - morning and evening. And it is highly undesirable to use soap for this - buy a special washing gel designed for oily skin. Firstly, regular soap can irritate the skin. Secondly, a special gel cleanses pores much better, and also helps to reduce inflammation. The second stage - deep cleaning. It must be done twice a week, using suitable scrubs. Before the cleansing procedure, steam your face thoroughly. This can be done with a steam bath or a terry towel soaked in hot water. After cleansing, apply any moisturizer for oily skin. The third stage - treatment masks. They also need to be applied about two to three times a week. You can use both special cosmetic preparations and products prepared according to traditional medicine recipes.
