Clear Acne with Herbs

March 30th 2010 14:21
Pimples and acne is a common problem among teenagers as their body changes, but sometimes it stays and sometimes it affects adults. Whether you have a problem with small pimples, blackheads, or the large angry red pimples, they're a pain in the butt to get rid of and they can be quite embarrassing.


You can purchase, ranging from scrubs, soaps, and other treatments. Some of these treatments have very harsh chemicals in them that can dry out your face, which really just makes your skin produce more oils, which can cause more pimples.

Herbal Remedies for Acne - Natural Acne Treatment

There are many natural treatments that involve different herbs that have been proven effective at clearing and preventing acne outbreaks.

* Neem is a great natural herb that comes in various products from soap, lotion, a pill supplement, and even an oil that can be used to help treat acne.
* Aloe vera
* Guggul
* Natural essences
* Natural roots

From the results that I've had and tried, Neem seems to be the best and most popular natural treatment for acne. I have ordered myself a bar of Neem soap with lavender, oatmeal, and other natural herbs and essence for clean and healthy skin.




Just remember that if you notice any irritation while using any product, stop using it before it gets worse. Let your skin relax for a few days to a week or so, and then try something else. You want to let the body get rid of the herbs that have been causing any irritation before trying another product. Not every natural remedy for acne works for everyone, so you may have to try a little searching first.

Neem has been pretty effective for most people though.

When you have an itch that you don't need to scratch and you want gone, there are many ways that you can soothe it.

Choosing Sun Protection - Sunscreen VS Sunblock

July 22nd 2009 16:17
During the summer time, so many people fail to think about the problems that are potentially associated with summer time activities and just being out in the sun. We really do forget the potential outcome. A bad sun burn or two not only gives you the initial discomfort of the burn, itchiness, and peeling, but what about permanent skin damage... Do you ever really think about that as you're swimming in a pool or out fishing on the docks? It's possible, and it's scary.

It's very important that you consider some type of sun protection for your skin. It's best is you apply at least 30 minutes before you actually get into the sun. It's also a good idea to re-apply at least every two hours (typically that's more towards if you're using sunscreen, as sunblock generally does not require any second or third applications

Is a Spray on Tan Safe?

June 21st 2009 12:32
According to the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, sunless tanning products are generally much more safe than sunbathing and tanning in tanning beds. When applied to the skin, the FDA considers spray on tans safe, although there are potential risks to spray on tans.

The risks for spray on tans are not nearly as dangerous as natural UV or artificial UV rays. The spray-on tanning or mist-on tanning options that you can consider at a salon or spa are generally applied to the entire body, including the face in order to ensure a full balanced color, but this creates the potential of the product getting into your eyes, nostrils, or lips

Sunless Self Sun Tanning Products

June 19th 2009 12:17
It's always nice to have a nice bronze glow during the summer months, and heck it's not so bad in the winter months, either, but it can be a pain to sit outside and tan in the natural sunlight and plain expensive to use a tanning bed. Plus, natural sunlight has a number of health disadvantages and artificial UV rays from tanning beds are even worse. The nice alternative is a spray on tan of just any kind of self tanning that you can do at home via a lotion, spray, or foam.

You can go to the tanning parlor and pay out the bum for a nice spray on tan, or you can purchase a self tanner at the store and do the same thing. You just want to make sure that you purchase a product that will actually work as the bottle claims
