The Natural Clear Skin Regimen
I’ve been thinking about an inside and outside natural clear skin regimen that would satisfy even those who need an acne solution in the near term, and don’t want to wait weeks for results. The core of any natural system should be B5, but a topical spot treatment can also come in handy when starting out, especially if you’re on of the few who experience an initial breakout.
The 3 natural treatments I find the most effective, and indeed more effective than other name-brand acne treatments that use over-the-counter drugs, are:
For your topical spot treatment, go with 100% Tea Tree Oil. From my own experience and everyone I’ve recommended it to, this stuff works amazingly well. Most find it to be just as effective as benzoyl peroxide while being less harsh on your skin. It soaks in quickly, and can make a big difference even just overnight (as many use it due to its strong, but not unpleasant [imo] smell). Just put a dab on your finger tip or a cotton swab and apply it directly to acne spots. As with BP, keep it away from your eyes.
Vitamin B5 provides the essential factor that can really put an end to your acne by preventing it from occurring in the first place. If your body is producing too much skin oil, it naturally hardens into acne pustules underneath your pores. You need the Coenzyme-A provided by vitamin B5 to metabolize that sebum before it gets a chance to build up. Mere antioxidants are not usually going to prevent acne, as they don’t make any difference with regards to skin oil production or metabolism. A B5 treatment like Clear5 is a must, and should be the core foundation of any effective natural clear skin regimen.
The last essential element is one that tends to go along naturally with vitamin B5, but is often overlooked. The third part of your regimen should in fact be water. Water flushes those unwanted toxins out of your cells, keeps your skin supple and healthy, as is required for virtually every function of your body. Unfortunately, it’s a simple fact that most people do not drink enough water. In many cases just drinking more water alone can help with clear skin, as well as dry skin and other topical problems. Make sure you’re getting those 8 glasses of water every day, and your skin will thank you for it.
