The Healthy Temple

 Acne is not caused by dirt. Testosterone, a hormone which is present in both males and females, increases during adolescence (puberty). It stimulates the sebaceous glands of the skin to enlarge, produce oil, and plug the pores. Whiteheads (closed comedones), blackheads (open comedones), and pimples (pustules) are present in teenage acne.
When acne is severe and forms deep “pus-filled” lumps, it is called cystic acne. This may be more common in males. Adult acne develops later in life and may be related to hormones, childbirth, menopause, or stopping the pill. Adult women may be treated at the period and at ovulation when acne is especially severe, or throughout the entire cycle.

Adult acne is not rosacea, a disease in which blackheads and whiteheads do not occur.
Unlike other acne treatment , intestinal cleansing involves taking natural herbs and supplements that help cleanse your system, removing harmful toxins (which eventually end up clogging our pores). Doing colon, parasite and liver cleansing have made some of the biggest differences in my skin, and has cured my chronic acne.
If you are using a cream, lotion, solution, or gel, apply a thin film of the medication to the areas of your skin affected by acne, usually 1 to 2 times a day or as directed by your doctor. Before applying each dose, gently wash the affected area with a mild cleanser, then pat dry. Apply a small amount of medicine to the affected area and rub in gently. If using the pads, wash the affected skin with a mild cleanser, then pat dry. Use only your bare hands to wash. A washcloth is irritating. Washing itself does not clear breakouts since dirt does not cause acne, so there is absolutely no need to scrub.
