All of us have felt uncomfortable when those little pimples appear on our skin. Sometimes looking so awful that we might suspend any commitment we may have had. So, we eliminated greasy food from our diets and started a daily skin hygiene program. We also stopped using our favorite make up or stopped shaving because of the pain. What is worst, our skin isn't getting better. But none of these changes are going to solve this skin disorder called acne. Luckily, the solution exists and the best part is that it is a natural one.

Biology Solution in Acne Cure

Common acne (acne vulgaris), is an inflammatory skin disorder that can lead to a bacterial infection. The skin is full with tiny little pores where hair follicles are located. Just imagine a cross-section of all skin layers. First we have hair, then the root hair (follicle) associated with a gland, called sebaceous gland that secretes an oily substance to protect hair and skin. The secretion from the sebaceous glands (sebum) is associated with hormonal changes of especially testosterone, a hormone whose production level increases during puberty. When this sebum level increase mixes with dead cells leading to the clog of the pore where bacteria is trapped and cause an inflammation pimples) that can spread to our face, neck chest, back and upper arms. Sometimes, we get pus-filled pimples as a result of the body's immune system reacting to the infection. There are three different classifications of bumps: whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. A whitehead appears when a pore gets clogged-up and bulges out from the skin; a blackhead is produced when too many skin cells clog the pore and; a pimple is a result of sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells that make their way under the skin, usually after a lesion has appeared in the pore. Frequently, acne disappears after puberty but in some cases we have to live with it an entire life time. Another problem is that when acne disappears scars are left as a result of injury and tissue repair.

Biological Ingredients Without Bieffects

An acne cure including creams, soaps, pills, antibiotics etc, can last from months or even years, and in the long run can damage your body. The best alternative is using natural skin care treatments because compounds extracted from our natural surrounding have many compounds with beneficial properties for our body. One of these compounds is Salycilic acid, extracted from the willow Salix nigra found in north America. This biological ingredient works by causing the cell to slough off more quickly so the pore doesn't get clogged, and unlike its synthetic counterpart, salicylic acid doesn't cause skin irritations. Helix aspersa, (garden snail) is another good example from nature from which is extracted glycoconjugates and antioxidants with skin regenerative characteristics. There are evidences of these regenerative qualities found in scientific studies one in Spain and USA, being a good repair agent in the treatment of acne, scars and also stretch marks. A different type of natural ingredient is the modified carbohydrate glucomannan obtained by the Japanese Konjac tuber (root) which reduces the surface tension of oil and facilitates its dispersion into droplets.
