Natural Treatments For Acne

By S. Wagner
There is nothing worse than being a teenager getting ready for your school prom and you look in the mirror to see that horrible thing sticking right in the middle of your forehead. If you've got long hair, maybe you can cover it up. But if you're sporting a crew cut, you're pretty much out of luck.
Acne is worse than just a disease that scars our faces. Acne also scars our souls. Many kids have acne that is so bad that the scars left on their faces carry on way into their adult years. They have no self confidence because of their looks and many of these kids don't excel in life simply because they have no self esteem.
And the worst part of all this is that acne is treatable. We're not talking treatable as in getting the Stridex pads or whatever else you may be using. These over the counter acne "cures" don't really get to the root of the problem. All they do is temporarily arrest it or cover it up. But the underlying cause is still there and unless that underlying cause is treated, your acne is most likely going to stay with you long after you're a teenager. Many adults still have acne symptoms long into their 30s or even 40s.
There are many misconceptions about what causes acne. Some people think that it's just something that happens to kids. Again, many adults still get acne. Some people think it's caused by hormonal changes at puberty. And while that is partially true, that is not the only cause and not even the main cause. Think about it. Why is it that you see some kids who have never had a pimple in their life? In some cases, they're just lucky, especially when you see how some of these kids live. But in many cases it's simply because these kids live a life style that produces an environment difficult for acne to survive. Yes, it starts with washing your hands and not touching your face with dirty hands, but it is so much more than that.
Most of it, in spite of what the doctors will tell you, is diet. Think about all the greasy pizza your kid eats. Think of the French fries and donuts. We could go on, but I think you got the picture. Kids simply don't eat right, and for that matter, either do many adults. That's why they're still suffering from acne well into their 40s.
