Natural Acne Treatments

Natural acne treatments

Even if you don’t use treatment there are still plenty of things you can do to keep you clean of acne and pimples.

Foods you should be eating:
Eat a high fibre diet which is essential for keeping the colon clean and clearing the body of toxins and unwanted wastes.
Eat plenty of raw foods such as nuts, almonds and cashews.
Eat quality protein rich foods such as beans, peas, lentils, eggs and fresh cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and sardines.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit
Eat foods rich in zinc such as shellfish, soy beans, whole grains and sunflower seeds.

As you can now see there are plenty of good healthy food out there that will help your body stay clean and health but there are also plenty of food that you should stay away from in order to help reduce acne.
Avoid alcohol, butter, caffeine, cheese, chocolate, cocoa, sugar, cream, fat, fried foods, hot and spicy foods, hydrogenated oils and shortenings, margarine, wheat, soft drinks and vegetable oils.
Stay away from all processed and pre-packaged foods.
Also try to avoid sugar. The reason being is that sugar encourages oil production and provides food for bacteria and yeast to grow.

Apart from eating well and use products to help with keeping acne away there are also lifestyle factors that you can follow to help reduce acne and pimples.
Drink at least eight glasses of bottled or filtered water a day. It may seem a lot but it’s worth it and will help you feeling good.
Keep your skin as free of oil as possible and shampoo hair regularly.
Wash your skin twice daily but gently, never rub. Over washing, vigorous scrubbing and repeated touching of the skin can make acne worse by overstimulating the sebaceous glands causing them to produce more sebum. In other words don’t be to rough on your skin.

Shaving Oil

Shaving Oil Benefits

by Pacific Shaving Company

Do you know what makes shaving creams and gels foamy on your skin? Aeration.

Shaving creams lather and lather is just air.  When more air gets trapped, less lubrication actually touches your face. Does that help explain some of the mysterious nicks and razor burn you keep getting?

All Natural Shaving Oil is unlike any shaving experience you’ve ever had. Used as a pre-shave treatment, it offers a consistently smooth shave and practically eliminates nicks and razor burn. It also leaves your face feeling conditioned and moisturized-not oily. All you need is 6-8 drops for a softer, smoother shave. So while 1/2 oz. bottle may look small, it will last up to 100 shaves – and take up a fraction of the space.  Perfect for travelers!

All Natural Shaving Oil is ideal for sensitive, tough or dry skin. And, it is great for women, too.

Why It is Good For You?

- Ideal for sensitive skin: Shaving oil provides a smooth, close and comfortable wet shave every time

- Perfect for travel: Meets TSA carry on restrictions

- See where you are shaving: Perfect for heads, shaving around blemishes, beards or any facial hair

- Made from essential oils including Tangerine Peel, Grapefruit Peel, Bergamot, Aloe Vera and more

- Dermatologist tested: Will not clog pores

- Great for both men and women

Wet-shaving has transformed a dreaded routine into a ritual I look forward to every day. Through my blog I would like to bring this experience to more classic shaving enthusiasts around the world.
