Answer 1

The following will help you to understand the condition and give you suggestions that do work.

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder. Acne is more common in males because androgens (male s*x hormones) like testosterone, stimulates the production of keratin and sebum, which leads to clogged pores. During puberty, androgens increase in both sexes, making girls in this age group more susceptible as well. Acne flares up, in older women are also prompted by the release of progesterone after ovulation.

The sebaceous glands, located in each hair follicle or tiny pit of skin, produce oil that lubricates the skin. These are found in large number on the face, shoulders, back and chest. If some of the oil becomes trapped, bacteria multiply in the follicle and the skin becomes inflamed. Acne is not caused by dirty pores, but most likely by overactive oil glands; the excess oil makes the pores sticky, allowing bacteria to become trapped inside.

The exact cause of acne is not known, but factors that contribute to the condition include heredity, oily skin, use of cosmetics, over consumption of drunk foods, nutritional deficiencies, exposure to industrial pollutants, monthly menstrual cycles, and over washing or repeated rubbing of the skin.

The skin is the largest organ of the body. One of its functions is to eliminate a portion of the body’s toxic waste products through sweating. If the body contains more toxins than the kidneys and liver can effectively discharge, the skin takes over. As toxins escape through the skin, they disrupt the skin’s healthy integrity. This is the key factor behind many skin disorders, including acne.

The skin also breathes. If the pores become clogged, the microbes that are involved in causing acne flourish because they are protected against the bacteriostatic action of sunshine. Dirt, dust, oils and grime from pollution clog the pores, but this can be eliminated by washing the skin properly.

Eat a lot of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Eat a diet that is high in fiber. This is important for keeping the colon clean and ridding the body of toxins. Raw cabbage is excellent to improve the elimination process of the colon.

Increase your intake of raw foods inclusive of almonds, beets, and cashews. Eat more foods rich in zinc including shellfish, soy beans whole grains, sunflower seeds, and raw nuts daily.

Eat plenty of soured products such as yogurt to maintain healthy intestinal flora.

Reduce your intake of sweets. As much as possible avoid stress. Stress can promote hormonal changes and cause flare-ups. Many dermatologists also recommend fifteen minutes of sunshine each day, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep for people with acne.

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Wash your face with a soft soapy bath rag twice per day.

Answer 2

You must be patient when it comes to acne, it can be frustrating at times.  

First, you need to invest in some anti-acne medication such as benzoyl peroxide, probably 2.5 or 5% (see a derm if it does not respond to this).

Once the acne is under control, a TCA peel is something that I know can help african-american skin tone even very quickly.  It is a rather deep peel that will cause you to frost and peel a bit over the course of a week.   After the peeling is over your skin will be more even-toned.

Good Luck!
