The Herbal Remedy that has all the Answers to your Acne Problems

What really causes acne? A multitude of theories about the causes of acne abound, but not all of them are based on facts. Does eating oily foods, chocolate or dairy increase breakouts? Is acne strictly linked to hormonal imbalances, or is stress a contributor? Before an effective solution can be found, it is important to first identify the real causes. Some of the information circulating about the causes of acne is correct, and some of it is based on faulty conclusions. Oily foods, do not contribute to oily skin (unless, perhaps, you rub them all over your face). This is because the type of oil in these foods is not the same that your skin produces. The link between chocolate and acne is also doubtful, although the presence of dairy in milk chocolate might be related to dairy products. Since hormones are known to affect acne flare-ups, the hormones present in milk and other dairy products could feasibly trigger already overactive hormones.

A diet high in carbohydrates elevates blood sugar levels, which in turn increases the body's production of hormones, which again in turn affect oil production over the skin. Hormones regulate many vital functions throughout your body, including growth, the immune system, and reproduction. Women also experience hormonal fluctuations during their menstrual cycle, while taking certain contraceptives, or during hormone replacement therapy. Some people are also more genetically predisposed to get acne because of their hormone levels. 

When oil glands produce too much oil, the skin's pores become clogged more easily. This environment attracts bacteria, which feeds on the oil. The excess oil appears as blackheads and the red, swollen blemishes they create are what we know as pimples or acne. Dead skin cells can also clog the skin's pores, promote bacterial growth, and cause pimples. Some studies also link high-stress levels to more frequent acne outbreaks. Most of us would probably agree that this is true, at least by appearances. Whatever may contribute to the root cause of developing acne, the answer lies with an herbal remedy that has found its place in the series of acne removal creams. It is available by the product name: AKPRE® cream.
