Treat Acne with Vitamins and Over the Counter Products

Acne is nearly always the product of blood impurities. Rising hormones levels during puberty will cause your oil glands, which open into pores on the surface of your skin to expand. If the oil produced in those glands, 2,000 of them per square inch on your forehead alone, mixes with skin cells and bacteria just the surface of your skin, a blackhead develops. And if the top of the oil gland isn't wide enough, a whitehead develops, builds and erupts into a pimple.

Acne usually appears on the face but can also appear on the neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Whey acne being in boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 11, it usually results in a very severe case of acne as a teenager.

25 percent of adult men and 50 percent of adult women suffer from occasional occurrences of acne. Acne in adults is thought to be caused by heredity or genetic factors, vitamin deficiency, stress, poor hygiene and other factors associated with adult life styles choices.

Vitamin A - Vitamin B - Vitamin E
Zinc - Amino Acid - Aloe Vera
Tea Tree Oil - Beta Carotene - Salicylic Acid

Vitamin A, B and E are all essential for the proper health and maintenance of the skin tissue. Vitamin A will help unplug the existing cysts and pimples allowing other topical medication to enter the follicles.

Vitamin A is stored in the fat cells of the human body and can reach toxic levels. DO NOT take more than the recommended dosage of Vitamin A.

Zinc is needed for healing and maintaining healthy tissues. Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein and are the vital components of skin, hair, muscle tissue, the body's organs, blood cells, various enzymes and hormones.

Aloe Vera will help rejuvenate and tone skin all over. A naturally cooling gel, the Aloe Vera botanical ingredients work together to stimulate the blood circulation and naturally soften the skin.

Tea Tree Oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties and help sooth and treat problem skin. It is used to help tighten pores and firm skin for a more youthful, healthy appearance.

Symptoms of Beta Carotene deficiency include ache, dry dull hair, dry skin and thickened scaly skin on the palms and soles of the feet.

Salicylic Acid also helps breakdown blackheads and whiteheads. It also helps cut down the shedding of cells lining the hair follicles clogging the pores of the skin. Salicylic acid is used as a mild abrasive to chemically exfoliate the skin to encourage the peeling of the top layer and to prevent a build-up of dead skin cells which combine with the oil to block pores.
