Adult Skin Breakouts: The Benefits of Using Natural Acne Skincare
Adolescence can be quite a difficult period in life because everything’s altering, the body, the appearance, hormones are raging and moods are changing; yes, transitioning from childhood to adulthood is challenging but you’re one of the lucky ones if you’ve been through this without acne.
As it happens though we’re not exactly safe from this annoying skin problem even when we become adults which means, contrary to popular belief, teens aren’t the only ones facing bad skin.
Other than being unsightly, treating acne can be somewhat of a frustrating experience though there’s nothing to be ashamed of as it’s not a sign of lack of hygiene, since there are many reasons as to why it appears, from poor nutrition (e.g. high-glycemic diet), air pollution and harsh cleansing products full of chemicals to stress.
What you can do about it, other than enter in a state of despair, is work on changing your habits that end up causing this in the first place with healthier alternatives like diet based on fruits and veggies, eliminating processed foods, surrounding yourself with air-purifying plants at home, meditating and most importantly incorporating natural acne skincare instead of traditional cosmetics.
What’s especially great about organic certified skincare is how beneficial it is as a whole, not only in the case for treating acne because of the natural ingredients it’s made of, so it abounds in minerals and vitamins essential for skin health as opposed to ingredients found in common skincare products, like alcohol and benzoyl peroxide which have a counter-effect, resulting in worsening acne, drying the skin and ageing it.
You may think initially natural acne skincare is more expensive than the traditional alternative however with the damage it causes you’d end up paying more over the years whereas with natural ingredients such as willowherb providing salicylic acid, sage with its anti-inflammatory properties, fruit acids like pomegranate full of antioxidants great for purifying have effects beyond just helping you in the fight against breakouts.
Once you start using natural facial wash, moisturiser, toner and gel you can expect to get rid of the oily skin shine, getting healthy glow instead, as well as limit the pore size and have the overall skin texture refined.
The fact that some compounds assist with the thorough skin cleansing, removing makeup and pollutants means the appearance of the skin improves significantly as long as you stick to the instructions on how to apply the products and how often. In other words, rejuvenated acne-free skin others would envy you for isn’t impossible to achieve.
