Eliminating acne can be quite a challenge as the problem of acne varies from one person to the next. Most people start off trying the over the counter medications or creams. These can work well for some people however for many these kinds of acne treatments are not always the best option.

Over the counter cleansers and creams focus on cleaning the skin and keeping it oil and dirt free. For many people these products tend to dry out their skin excessively and this can cause quite a bit of irritation. Acne prescription drugs can come with unwanted side effects so it is best to avoid them if you can and look for an alternative solution.

Diet can play a role in your acne condition so it is important to keep an eye on what you are consuming. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is often a good idea as these kinds of foods tend to have a cleansing effect on your body and are very useful in removing toxins from your system. Reducing the amount of oils and fats you are consuming can have a positive effect also. Many foods like cookies and bagged potato chips and similar ‘junk foods’ contain excessive amounts of vegetable oils. Simply reducing your intake of these kinds of foods can make a positive difference to your acne.

Stress is also believed by many to contribute to acne. There are many ways to reduce stress from your life. One of the best ways is to exercise such as doing aerobics and strength training. Just going for a short jog or walk in a nice natural environment like a park or the beach can do wonders when it comes to relieving stress.

Many people today work from home so it becomes very important for them to get out of the house on a regular basis otherwise stress levels may increase and cause your acne condition to get worse. Many acne treatment systems often recommend solutions that are not practical like going on severe fasting diets and such so you need to find something that is easier to follow and that you will stick with in the long term.

Some people believe that acne is caused by an imbalance of hormones in your body. One of the ways to potentially solve this imbalance is by taking some sort of colloidal silver supplement. Visit your local health food store and ask for a colloidal silver supplement. There is unfortunately no single product that can get rid of acne for all people so keep an open mind and try different approaches.
