Introduction
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, as they have excess sebum production, though it affects people of all ages.
The main challenge that a person with acne face is, recurrent acne even after taking aggressive allopathy treatment.
Let’s Dive into understanding acne and curing it from its root cause
Causes
The main factors that cause acne:
- Excess oil (sebum) production
- Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells
- Bacteria
- Inflammation (Heat, pain, redness, swelling)
- Hormonal imbalance
Risk factors
- Age. People of all ages can get acne, but it's most common in teenagers.
- Hormonal changes. Such changes are common during puberty or pregnancy.
- Family history. Genetics plays a role in acne. If both of your parents had acne, you're likely to develop it too.
- Greasy or oily substances. You may develop acne where your skin comes into contact with oil or oily lotions and creams.
- Friction or pressure on your skin. This can be caused by items such as telephones, cell phones, helmets, tight collars and backpacks.
Symptoms

- Cysts.
- Papules (small red bumps)
- Pustules (small red bumps containing white or yellow pus)
- Redness around the skin eruptions.
- Scarring of the skin.
- Whiteheads. (Whiteheads are small, white, raised bumps on the skin)

Guidelines -
Cure Constipation – Constipation and acne have a direct relationship because if the toxins are not removed from your body, they will show up directly in your skin. Balance your gut microbiome.
(Toxins shows up in the form of acne, papules, pustules, boils)
Sanitize your phone every 3 days (To keep that acne-causing bacteria away from your skin)
Clean your comb every week – A clean scalp ensures a clean and healthy skin
Change your pillow cover once or twice every week – To prevent germ build-up
Have a healthy lifestyle
Do yoga daily for 1 hour – sweating helps in removing toxins from the body and increases blood circulation. Yoga also reduces stress.
Stay hydrated –Water removes toxins from the body and also keeps your skin plump and healthy Drinking the recommended daily amount of water (approximately 8 glasses or 2 liters) keeps your skin hydrated and can help prevent it from feeling dry, tight and losing its natural, healthy-looking glow.
Avoid eating sugar- Too much sugar and high glycaemic foods can break the bonds of collagen and elastin that keep your skin looking tight, youthful and fresh. Sugar also leads to inflammation internally and disturbs gut health.
(Researchers found that 48.2% of individuals who suffer from acne consumed dairy products (which has been studied before), 35.6% consumed soda juices or syrups, 37% consumed pastries and chocolate, and 29.7% consumed sweets, all on a daily basis. Previous studies linking food to acne have shown foods with a high glycaemic index can trigger breakouts; these new numbers only further underscore how deeply connected diet and skin are related.)
Avoid Blue light – Blue light from the modern era gadgets like mobile phones and laptops can also harm skin barrier, produce pigmentation / dark spots
Over exfoliating – Mild exfoliation is a necessity for healthy skin but using wrong products and over-exfoliation leads to disrupting the skin barrier thus causing acne
Say no to alcohol - alcohol dehydrates the body and constricts the blood vessels, which can result in dull, tired-looking skin.
Sleep
Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night -Going to bed earlier gives you and your body more time to recover, so you can wake up with skin that feels fresher and more revitalized.
Say no to Caffeine - Caffeine increases the amount of water we lose from our body, which means consuming too much can dehydrate the skin and decreases the body’s ability to flush out toxins.
Do not change your products too frequently, make sure you use organic and natural products instead of toxic loaded skincare items
Choose good quality non-comedogenic skin products.
Less is more and consistency is the key.
Ideal skincare routine for acne-prone skin -
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser daily morning and at night
- Icing with Tulsi (Holy Basil) water ice cubes daily for 3 times
- Use rose water as a toner after washing face
- Always apply gel-based moisturizer after washing face. You can use aloe vera gel (Use Vitamin C serum at night before moisturizer)
- Exfoliate once or twice a week with a mild scrub / Oat powder-based scrub
- Always wash your face before sleeping and top it on with a Vit C serum and a gel-based moisturizer
- Apply Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) mixed in rose water twice-weekly (When it is 80% dry -wash it off)
- Optional - Tea tree essential oil can be mixed with face wash and moisturizer can also be used as an on-spot treatment (always do a patch test to rule out sensitivity before applying)
Nature cure for acne
What is Toxaemia?
Toxaemia is the accumulation of toxins in the body. This condition, caused by prolonged imbalances in our lifestyle, is identified as the sole underlying cause of ill health. Improper eating habits and stress, anxiety and other factors disturbing mental health are among the key reasons that lead to toxemia. When toxins are not able to get eliminated by natural eliminatory channels as stools, sweat, urine, respiration, artificial channels build up in the form of acne, papules, pustules, boils, etc.
