What does ALTERNATIVE mean?

Alternative approaches to treating any condition are those that are not conventionally used medically. They normally involve treating the main causes of your condition in a natural and holistic way. For acne in particular, this will involve natural home-made remedies, simple at home regimes and a vitamin based approach to your treatment.

Give me An Alternative!

Most people will want alternatives to their topical applications. The first thing is to discover what the applications do. You want a natural alternative to the exact problem you are trying to combat

Kill the Bacteria

For example a Benzoyl Oxide gel is meant to kill off the bacteria on your skin that usually make your condition worse. A natural alternative is a lemon water wash once in two days. The acid contained in lemon has anti bacterial properties. Also because it is all natural and unprocessed, the bacteria cannot gain resistance against it. And another thing, the lemon also helps in softening your skin, so that blockage of pores is avoided. The best part is that lemons are a fraction of the cost of a tube of Benzoyl oxide.

Kill the Pimples

Most topical gels and creams work to first dry out the pimple, which will cause the pimple to fall off without scarring. This only works if you do not have the impulsive habit of pricking your zits. If you do, such a treatment will work against you because it will enter into the broken skin and because more harm than good. So why not do it in an alternative way? When the pimple is developing, you know when your skin feels a little sore around an area and you nothing is visible yet (maybe just redness), apply ice to the area for five minutes or more. The cold will kill the bacteria causing the inflammation. It also constricts blood flow to the area, so the pimple will die! If the pimple is already visible, apply a layer of toothpaste before going to bed. Make sure it is the granular kind, not the gels. In the morning the pimple will drop off.

Decapitate your acne.

Of the oral medications that I have encountered so far, like accutane, the basis of their effectiveness is to poison your sebaceous glands. This might work. And the results are stunning. However, because the basis of treatment is poison, side-effects can be numerous. The natural approaches, instead of fighting with your skin, love and embrace it with vitamins. Vitamins will help control your glands, restore your skin and rejuvenate your skin. The best part vitamins are widely available, cheaper than the conventional acne pills, have no side-effects and they will help other parts of your system.
