Acne skin care and over the counter acne products

There are subtle signs to zinc deficiency. Acne can be just one of them. Other signs can be white spots on the fingernails, dry, brittle hair, slow wound healing and a decreased sense of taste and smell. I had all of these. Zinc plays an important role in our overall immune function and is important for our general health. In addition to adding zinc-rich foods to my diet, I've also added purifying green tea (both the drink and a green tea mask), vitamin A rich carrot juice (mixed with orange to make it taste better), lots of delicious berries, foods rich in omega-3 and other great-for-the-skin goodies. A simple, all-natural cleanser and oil-free moisturizer, both with tea tree oil, help keep blemishes at bay.
Acne treatment is not only limited to treating pimples and blemishes. It also involves removing impurities such as blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads are a type of acne vulgaris and are also known as open comedones. It is mainly caused by excess sebum that clogged the pores. When excess oils are combined with trapped toxins and subsequently exposed to oxidization, blackhead becomes the result. People with oily and combination skin types often have blackhead problems, especially around the T-zone area. Blackheads that are left untreated can lead to unsightly enlarged pores.
" Brown sugar, white sugar, and water mixed together make an amazing exfoliate, which is gentle on the face yet strong enough to target blackheads. Mix two parts brown with one part white, and add enough water for the mixture to become a thick paste. It can be used on the entire face, and should be washed off after rubbing into face for about thirty seconds.
