I know…I’ve been there – You’ve tried every medication, every cream, all the detoxes that don’t work and it’s about time you found a proactive acne treatment that does the job of stopping the breakouts. Well, you’ve arrived at the right place.
As we all know, acne is big business and the cynic in me, will say that pharmaceutical companies are motivated to promote an increasing consumption of their product. You could say that these profit driven businesses are unlikely to be motivated to provide a cure for acne let alone inform consumers of a proactive acne treatment.
It seems the root causes of acne are well known to health professionals. You too, can access this research and then understand how you can deal with the problem and elimiate acne.
So, if you are to take control with a proactive acne treatment, the first step is to understand the root causes of acne and address each cause.
If you are to deal with just one of the root causes in the acne equation, you’ll never completely eliminate acne, and that is why topical creams alone or fasting or dieting won’t help, as they’re performed in isolation.
The astonishing secret of proactive acne treatment is that when you address concurrently all the causes of acne, you will be acne free permanently.
Of course, this means you will need to put in the effort to firstly understand the acne equation, secondly, detoxify your body, then put into place changes in lifestyle and diet to achieve a natural balance state and fourthly, enjoy permanent clear and flawless complexion.
This is where you’ll start in your proactive acne treatment, by understanding the acne equation.
The acne equation:
Here is the simplified acne equation:
Chronic, mild inflammation + high blood sugar levels = acne breakouts
Dr Loren Cordain’s paper on “implications for the role of diet in acne” informs us:
Spikes in blood sugar levels cause acne by
1. increasing sebum production
2. causing skin cells to regenerate faster
3. causing skin cells to stick together.
So, dead skin cells are pushed through skin pores at a faster rate than they can be removed.
What occurs is dead skin cells are pushed through narrow skin pores in big lumps, instead of single cells, it’s like diverting heavy truck traffic through narrow village roads and of course, traffic jams are the result. For your skin, this traffic jam means clogged skin pores.
There is a direct relationship between the wrong types of food and he occurance of acne. High GI foods cause the trigger to increases in blood sugar levels. This causes the pancreas to manufacture insulin to reduce the high levels of blood sugar. The trouble, is large amounts of insulin causes the blood sugar levels to suddenly drop. The body thinks it’s an emergency and this triggers the adrenal glans to produce androgen, the male hormone. An overproduction of sebum results as this is triggered by androgen.
As you can see, there is a direct relationship between the food you eat and the triggering of hormones which can cause acne. What you must do, as a result, is by understanding the fundamental keys of your proactive acne treatment, you too can deal with each aspect of the acne equation and achieve your deserved flawless complexion.
