Pimples can scar your skin: Because prevention is the best way to protect your skin from the scarring associated with severe Pimples, many dermatologists recommend that controlling problematic Pimples through diet, regular cleansing procedures, and herbal remedies, is the most effective way to combat the tendencies of skin that is prone to Pimples and Pimples-related scarring.
Treatments that accentuate the regulation of daily habits having to do with diet, physical exercise, mood control, and other activities, are known as holistic treatments. Holistic treatments often include herbal therapies.
Herbalists recommend the following herbal remedies for Pimples and scarring:
• Black currant seed oil taken in 500-milligram capsules three times a day for three months or until Pimples is diminished.
• Evening primrose oil taken in 500-milligram capsules three times a day for three months or until Pimples is diminished.
• Teas made from a combination of echinacea, tea tree oil, goldenseal, nettles, or calendula.
• Teas made from lavender or chamomile, to help reduce Pimples-causing stress.
• Chinese herbs such as cnidium seed and honeysuckle flower.
• Teas made from cumin, coriander, and fennel, steeped for 10 minutes in hot water and consumed three times a day after meals.
Some alternative medicine practitioners recommend using diet as a way to combat Pimples and Pimples-related scarring. These practitioners believe that diets high in beta-carotene help to reduce the factors that contribute to severe Pimples. Orange and yellow foods such as carrots, pumpkin, and cantaloupe are loaded with beta-carotene and should be a regular part of the diet of anyone suffering from Pimples and scarring.
Another dietary recommendation for Pimples-sufferers is to consume many bland foods such as oatmeal, rice, brown grains, and applesauce. These foods should be eaten instead of spicy foods and fried foods, which are believed by some practitioners to stimulate the hormones and glands that aggravate Pimples conditions.
A daily practice of yoga is commonly recommended as a way to increase the flow of blood to the face. This helps to flush Pimples-causing toxins and to provide your facial skin with natural nutrients that help to decrease the formation of Pimples and to heal scar tissue.
People who suffer from Pimples should also take care to perform some simple daily rituals that can help to reduce the occurrence of Pimples and scarring.
Dermatologists and alternative medicine practitioners suggest that Pimples-sufferers should wash the area twice daily with mild soap. Washing should be gentle. Scrubbing or grating the skin will only aggravate the condition and lead to scarring.
Hair should be washed thoroughly and regularly and should be kept away from the face and shoulders.
Pimples sufferers should also avoid shaving as much as possible. When shaving, take care not to run the blade over blemishes. Always use a new blade so as not to spread infection.
Avoid wearing make-up and facial cosmetics. If you must, take care to use make-up that is hypoallergenic.
In order to prevent scarring, do not pop or squeeze pimples. Popping and squeezing pimples is tempting, but can easily cause infection and the development of unwanted scar tissue.
While many of these holistic therapies can be easily performed at home, it is a good idea to speak with your dermatologist or alternative medicine practitioner about the best holistic measures to take as a way to help with Pimples and Pimples-related scarring.
