ACNE DESCRIPTION SKIN INFLAMMATION Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder that to some degree afflicts about 80 percent of all Americans between the ages of 12 to 44 years. It is typically characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne has become the most commonly treated skin abnormality. Perhaps modern lifestyles contribute to this change in statistics. For those that suffer from acne, it is not merely a cosmetic problem. The consequences include emotional stress that can have a strong impact on one's self-esteem. There are several forms of skin disease included under the general name of Acne. They are never fatal, but are very annoying, and causes the afflicted person to present an unsightly appearance. The difficulty is acne is very persistent, often baffling every endeavor to overcome it.

ACNE PUNCTATA Is caused by a retention in the skin of the secretion of the sebaceous glands. This secretion chokes up the little ducts and becomes hardened. These ducts are situated alongside of the air follicles. The tips of the little masses of hardened secretion become black when exposed to the air, giving rise to the ordinary name of blackheads or flesh worms. Some used to suppose these were actual worms in the skin, and they do resemble them very much, for by pressure the ducts may be emptied of their contents, which look like yellowish worms with black heads. This form of acne is most common between the ages of 14 and 25 years, and usually makes its appearance over the face, and sometimes on the chest and back. Sometimes the retained secretion is deeper seated where air and dirt cannot reach it, and it remains white (whiteheads).

ACNE CAUSES HORMONAL INFLUENCES Acne often arises at puberty, when the body dramatically increases its production of androgens (male sex hormones). Thus, it is more common in males because of androgens (male sex hormones) like testosterone stimulate the production of keratin and sebum, which leads to clogged pores. During puberty, androgens increase in both sexes, making girls in this age group more susceptible as well. These hormones stimulate the production of keratin (a type of protein) and sebum (an oily skin lubricant). The sebaceous glands, located in each hair follicle or tiny pit of skin, produce the oil (sebum) that lubricates the skin. Sebaceous glands are found in large numbers on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. If sebum is secreted faster than it can move through the pores, a blemish arises. The excess oil makes the pores sticky, allowing bacteria to become trapped inside the follicle. Blackheads form when sebum combines with the skin pigments and plugs the pores. If scales below the surface of the skin become filled with sebum, whiteheads appear. In severe cases, whiteheads build up, spread under the skin, and rupture, which eventually spreads the inflammation. Several of these spots can come and go over a period of months or years. Although proper skin care is important in the treatment of acne, acne is not caused by uncleanliness (dirty pores), but is more likely to be a result of overactive oil glands. Although more than 20 million teenagers suffer from this disorder, acne is not just affecting kids anymore. It is also affecting increasing numbers of adults. While teenage acne most commonly occurs on the face and/or upper body, adult acne is usually limited to the chin and jaw line, and involves fewer, but possibly more painful blemishes. Hormones do not go away after adolescence, though. Many women suffer premenstrual acne flare-ups that are prompted by the release of progesterone after ovulation. Oral contraceptives high in progesterone can cause breakouts, too. The presence of candidiasis (Candida) can also cause hormonal changes that encourage the liver to produce the wrong substances for healthy sebum. MoonDragon's Womens Health Information: Candida The exact cause of acne is not clearly known, but factors that contribute to the condition include: Heredity. Oily skin. Androgens / hormonal imbalance. Candidiasis. Allergies. Stress. Use of certain drugs (especially steroids, lithium, oral contraceptives, and certain anti epileptic drugs). Over consumption of junk food. Diet high in saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, and animal products. Nutritional deficiencies. Exposure to industrial pollutants (machine oils, coal tar derivatives, chlorinated hydrocarbons) are some environmental factors. Use of cosmetics. Monthly menstrual cycles. Over washing or repeated rubbing of skin. A body pH that is too acidic or too alkaline also fosters the nesting and breeding of acne-causing bacteria.

MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Acidosis MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Alkalosis The skin is the largest organ of the body. One of its functions is to eliminate a portion of the body's toxic waste products through sweating. If the body contains more toxins than the kidneys and liver can effectively discharge, the skin takes over. In fact some health care professionals call the skin the "third kidney". As toxins escape through the skin, they disrupt the skin's healthy integrity. This is a key factor behind many skin disorders, including acne. The skin also "breathes". If the pores become clogged, the microbes that are involved in causing acne flourish because they are protected against the bacteriostatic action of sunshine. Dirt, dust, oils, and grime from pollution clog the pores, but this can be eliminated by washing the skin properly.

ACNE TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS SKIN CARE TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Acne is a message that something may be wrong with your body chemistry, diet, and/or skin care routine. Proper diet, nutritional supplements, and finding the right skin care products may be all that is needed to correct the problem. Contrary to popular belief, there are no specific foods that cause acne (aside from the pore-closing effect of sugary foods eaten in large amounts). Even chocolate and nuts do not aggravate acne, although they can aggravate viral skin infections. MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Herpes Virus An exception is the iodine found in seafood, which can bring on outbreaks in women who are sensitive to iodine. It is possible for a specific food item (or many other substances, such as balsams used in cosmetics) to trigger acne in cases of allergy. MoonDragon's Health & Wellness: Allergies For severe acne, the drug isotretinoin (Accutane) is the only reliable treatment. It disrupts plug formation and shrinks the sebaceous glands. Isotretinoin cures or greatly reduces acne in about 90 percent of the people who use it, but it can cause side effects like dry skin, headaches, nosebleeds, and joint and muscle pain. The most dangerous side effect of isotretinoin is that it can cause serious birth defects, such as fetal brain deformities, if taken during pregnancy. It can be dangerous and can cause birth defects if a woman is taking this drug becomes pregnant up to two months after it is discontinued. If a woman with acne is in her childbearing years, isotretinoin is not recommended unless she is using effective birth control. There have been isolated cases of depression, and other mental disorders among people using this drug, and a study published in the Archives of Dermatology found that it might cause a loss of bone density, raising questions regarding its effect on the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. For severe acne, a new treatment that is much safer than Accutane has recently been developed. A treatment called Levulan PDT, or the "Blue Light Treatment," is ideal for patients of all ages, including teens. During a painless, in-office treatment, the face is first given a mild microderm-abrasion (sanding) to remove the surface layer of dead skin, then Levulan (5-aminole-vulinic acid) is applied to the face. This application makes acne bacteria more sensitive to light. After about 30 minutes, the Levulan is washed off and up to ten minutes of a special high-intensity blue light (not ultraviolet) is used to kill the bacteria. Some people require more than one session. Skin is more sensitive to sunlight right after treatment, and SPF 45 sunscreen is recommended for at least 24 hours. The weapon of choice against moderate cases of acne is topical tretinoin (Retin-A). It helps to keep the pores from becoming clogged by increasing the rate at which dead surface skin cells are shed. Like isotretinoin, tretinoin should not be used during pregnancy. Use it with caution, because it renders the skin extremely vulnerable to sun damage. In addition, the safety of long-term use of tretinoin has not been established. Some "sibling" forms of tretinoin are being studied in the hope that they may not be as drying to the skin. Research is being conducted on the development and use of androgen-blocking drugs to stop the oil glands from being turned on by hormonal functions. The sports supplement androstenedione can cause acne in both men and women. Milk Thistle helps to counteract this effect. An antibiotic cream or an oral antibiotic is sometimes prescribed for acne. Tetracycline, erythromycin, or clindamycin, is sometimes prescribed for acne. If these drugs are not effective, minocycline may be prescribed. Be aware that this drug can have such side effects as shortness of breath and joint pain. The long-term use of antibiotics often leads to candida infection and in some people, leading to worsened acne. If you must take antibiotics, it is wise to take some form of Acidophilus because antibiotics kill "friendly" bacteria along with "unfriendly" bacteria. Long term use of the antibiotic minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin) can result in blue pigmentation in the gums, known as a "blue smile". If your health care provider prescribes this drug for acne, discuss the possibility of alternating between antibiotic treatment and treatment with Barberry, Coptis, , Olive Leaf extract, or Oregon Grape root. However, do not interrupt antibiotic treatment without your health care provider's consent. Benzoyl peroxide is the active ingredient in many over-the-counter acne products. It can be helpful, particularly in mild cases, but it is extremely drying and allergic reactions can occur. It should not be applied around the eyes or mouth. A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in New South Wales, Australia, found that a 5-percent solution of Tea Tree Oil was as effective as a 5percent benzoyl peroxide for most cases of acne, without the irritating side effects. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring antibacterial compound proven in clinical tests to be as effective as the medications benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin (Retin-A), or tetracycline in controlling acne outbreaks. Use azelaic acid creams with the herbs listed below for maximum effect. Blackheads should be removed only with a specially designed instrument, a procedure best done by a professional. Picking, squeezing, or scratching the blemishes may cause scarring, according to dermatologists. Compound Syrup of Stillingia is an excellent internal remedy. If a professional is unavailable to assist in the removal of blackheads, this can be accomplished by a skilled person. Unskilled squeezing is more detrimental than beneficial and can increase the inflammation. First apply over the affected part a cloth wrung out of very hot water, let it remain a few minutes to relax the structures, then gently squeeze out the accumulations, taking care not to abrade the skin by pins or finger nails, then apply cloths wet with cold water and extract of witch hazel in which borax has been dissolved. This remedy is from an old medical text. Niacinamide is a major nutrient in the repair of any skin condition because it brings fresh, healthy blood to the surface of the skin. Niacinamide opens the vascular system which supplies the skin with blood and nutrients. Kombucha tea, which has antibacterial and immune-boosting properties, has been found by many people to be beneficial for acne. MoonDragon's Nutrition Therapy: Kombucha Tea Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), a byproduct of wood processing, can be applied to acne lesions to reduce inflammation and promote healing. If used regularly, it may also help minimize scarring from severe cystic acne. Caution: Only DMSO from a health food store should be used for therapeutic purposes. Commercial grade DMSO such as that found in hardware stores is not suitable. The use of DMSO may result in garlicky body odor. This is temporary, and is not a cause for concern. An acne treatment program called Derma-Klear from Enzymatic Therapy may be helpful. In rare cases, acne may be a sign of a potentially serious hormonal disorder caused by tumors in the adrenal glands or ovaries. Other symptoms of such problems include irregular menstrual periods and excess facial hair. If such symptoms develop, consult with your health care provider.

ACNE HERBAL RECOMMENDATIONS SKIN CARE HERBS Burdock Root and Red Clover are powerful blood cleansers. Milk Thistle aids the liver in cleansing the blood. Both Burdock and Dandelion can help cleanse the liver. A liver that is not performing at its best can worsen acne because it cannot break down and clear excess hormones from the body as it should. Burdock and Dandelion also contain insulin, which can improve the quality of skin by removing bacteria. A poultice using Chaparral, Dandelion, and Yellow Dock Root can be applied directly to the areas of the skin with acne. Note: Chaparral is recommended for external use only. MoonDragon's Health Therapy: Using A Poultice Lavender, Red Clover, and Strawberry Leaves can be used as a steam sauna for the face. Lavender kills germs and stimulates new cell growth. Using a glass or enameled pot, simmer a total of 2 to 4 tablespoons of dried or fresh herbs in 2 quarts of water. When the pot is steaming, place it on top of a thick potholder on a table, and sit with your face at a comfortable distance over the steam for 15 minutes. A towel can be used to trap the steam, if desired. After 15 minutes, splash your face with cold water. Allow your skin to air dry or pat it dry with a towel. If desired, you may follow the treatment with the use of a clay mask.

TO MAKE A CLAY HEALING MASK

1 teaspoon Green Clay powder 1 teaspoon raw Honey

Blend together well and apply the mixture to your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Caution: If acne is extensive or badly inflamed, do not use steam treatments, as this may worsen the condition. TYPES OF HEALING CLAYS French Green Clay is an excellent cleansing facial clay. Mix 1/2 to 1 tablespoon powder with 1 to 2 tablespoons water for skin application. Smooth onto skin and let dry for 15 minutes before rinsing. Oily Skin Mask: Mix 1 tablespoon green clay, 5 drops Jojoba Oil. Red Rhassoul Moroccan Clay powder is an exceptionally pure powder is highly absorbent and will readily mix with water or moisturizing oils. Ultra fine mineral rich lightgray with a hue of oxidized pink to a reddish-brown colored clay from Morocco. Moroccan clay is very rich in Iron and has been widely applied because its strong drawing capacity and the clay used in medicinal preparations. Because of its drying capabilities it is effective in treating poison oak/ivy and for application to rashes. Those with very oily skin and acne will benefit most from this helpful clay. Suggested Dosage or Use: Moroccan clay is an excellent moisturizing and cleansing facial clay. Mix one tablespoon powder with one teaspoon water for skin application. Apply onto skin and let dry for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing. Moroccan consists of naturally occurring Silica, Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium and mineral oxides.

Tea Tree Oil is a natural antibiotic and antiseptic. Dab full-strength tea tree oil (sparingly) on blemishes three times a day, or add 1 dropperful of tea tree oil to 1/4 cup warm water and pat it on the affected area with a clean cotton ball (be sure to use 100-percent cotton). Tea tree soap works well, too. For irritated skin, mix Tea Tree Oil with Sweet Almond Oil in a 1:9 ratio. Warm the mixture and apply it to the affected skin 3 times a day.

TEA TREE CLEANSER FOR ACNE

1/4 cup Witch Hazel Extract 1 tablespoon Aloe Vera Gel 10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil Apply cleanser with a cotton ball. Use 2 to 3 times a day as needed. Tea Tree Oil can effectively help reduce acne inflammation. It works slower than benzyl peroxide lotions but it is gentler on the skin.

HERBAL BLEND FOR ACNE, SKIN BLEMISHES & IRRITATIONS

1.5 ounces Echinacea Root & Leaves 3/4 ounce Thyme Herb 3/4 ounce Calendula Flowers 3/4 ounce Veronica (Speedwell) Herb

Prepare this tea to treat skin problems. These medicinal plants have antibacterial properties, stimulate the immune system and purify the blood.

Other beneficial herbs include Alfalfa, Cayenne (capsicum), Echinacea, and Yellow Dock Root. Bee Propolis is a resinous substance bees collect from certain trees to produce a "cement." Bees use it to construct and repair the hive, blocking invasions of fungi, bacteria and viruses. It is similarly beneficial in the human body. As a salve or tincture, it has a germicidal effect and can be used to speed the healing of wounds. When taken internally, it stimulates the immune and circulatory systems.

PROPOLIS CREAM FOR ACNE

2 teaspoons Chamomile Essential Oil 3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil 20 drops Bee Propolis Tincture 1/2 ounce Healing Earth (Clay) Slightly warm Chamomile Oil, Peppermint Oil and Propolis Tincture. Combine with healing earth/clay. Dab on pimples.

Bergamot Essential Oil is one of the best essential oils for treating skin eruptions, especially those that are stress induced. Using the oil in a facial steam bath is effective for cleaning and healing the skin. To make a steam bath, add 3 drops of Bergamot Oil to a large bowl of steaming hot water. Drape a towel over your head and shoulders, and then bend your face over the bowl. For 10 to 15 minutes, breathe deeply, keeping your eyes closed. Caution: Do not use a steam bath if you have any broken facial capillaries. When you use Bergamot Oil or any other citrus-based oil, avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight for at least 6 hours following application. Exposure to the sun may lead to skin discoloration, blistering or severe burning. Lemon-Balm (Melissa) Oil is a great remedy for stress-related skin and facial blemishes. Mix 2 to 5 drops of Lemon-Balm (Melissa) Oil with 1.5 ounces of Base Oil, such as Sweet Almond Oil or Wheat-Germ Oil. Massage the mixture into the back, on either side of the spine, to reduce stress and anxiety. The same diluted mixture can be applied to many kinds of skin inflammations and insect bites. Take Care! To avoid skin irritation, never use pure Lemon-Balm Oil on large areas of the skin. Instead dilute it using no more than 5 drops per 1.5 ounces of base oil such as Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Wheat-Germ Oil Lime Peel Essential Oil can be used for treating pimples. Use a cotton swab to apply a drop of lime oil that has been diluted in 2 tablespoons of Witch Hazel Extract to the inflamed skin. This mixture supports the skin's natural protective layer of acids and prevents scarring. Take Care! Do not use any type of skin care product that may contain lime oil before going out in the sun to prevent brown pigment from forming since Lime Oil makes skin more sensitive to sunlight. Rosewood Oil is used to treat acne and blemishes. Add 4 drops each of Rosewood and Lavender Oils to 1/2 cup distilled water. After cleaning your face, dab it with a cotton pad dipped in the solution to clear up acne and prevent blemishes. Shake the solution well with each use. The oil tends to separate out. Label and date the bottle. Yarrow Essential Oil can be used to treat acne. Add 3 drops of Yarrow Essential Oil and 3 drops of Bergamot Essential Oil to a pot of boiling water. Simmer for 2 minutes. Place the pot on a safe surface and lean over it for a steam facial bath. With a towel draped over your head, let the vapors clean the pores for as long as possible. Or, prepare a warm compress with 2 drops each of Yarrow Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil and Chamomile Essential Oil and apply to the affected areas. Take Care! Yarrow oil can cause skin irritation in people with sensitive skin. It can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals. For those with sensitive skin, it is best to do a patch test to identify sensitivity before using Yarrow Oil. An herbal blend of Chamomile, Dandelion and Fennel can be used to treat skin problems.

SKIN PROBLEM MEDICINAL TEA BLEND

1 ounce Chamomile 1 ounce Dandelion 3/4 ounce Fennel Seed Use 1 teaspoon of the mixture per cup of hot water. Steep 5 to 10 minutes and strain. This medicinal tea blend stimulates metabolic activity, which helps promote the healing of inflammatory skin conditions, such as abscesses, boils and acne.

An herbal blend of Eucalyptus, Dandelion, Licorice and Fennel can be used to treat acne and skin problems.

SKIN PROBLEM MEDICINAL TEA BLEND

1 ounce Dried Eucalyptus Leaves 1 ounce Dried Dandelion Roots and Leaves Mixture 3/4 ounce Dried Licorice Root 3/4 ounce Fennel Seeds Make the tea. Drink 3 cups of tea a day to clear up acne and minor bacterial infections or use it as a facial wash. Either way, it is effective in healing such skin conditions as acne.

Wild Pansy (also known as Violet or Viola Tricolor) can be used to treat acne and psoriasis. Toxins can accumulate in the body and cause impurities in the skin, resulting in acne. The tea's astringent action cleans and tightens the pores. In addition, it rids the body of toxins. Make a strong tea using 2 teaspoons of wild Pansy (Violet) and 3/4 cup of water. Let it cool, dip a cloth in the mixture and apply it to the affected areas. Or mix equal parts of ">Wild Pansy (Violet Leaf / Viola Tricolor) and Calendula, which also heals the skin. You may also pour the hot tea into a bowl and drape a towel over your head to allow the steam to purify the skin. A compress of Watercress can be used to treat blemishes. Mash fresh Watercress leaves and place them on affected areas for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool to lukewarm water.

ACNE DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS A CLEANSING, FIBER RICH DIET Eat a diet that is high in Fiber, such as whole-grain cereals and breads or by taking a Fiber Supplement. This is important for keeping the colon clean and ridding the body of toxins. Burdock cereal, called goboshi in Japanese groceries, is a good source of fiber when eaten two to three times a week. Fiber absorbs waste testosterone in the intestines, which prevents the hormone from being reabsorbed through the intestinal wall. Always take fiber supplements separately from other supplements and medications. Drink at least 8 glasses of quality water per day. Water helps to keep the body and skin hydrated as well as flushing toxins from the body. The additional fluid in skin cells opens pores. Increase your intake of raw foods. The more natural raw foods consumed, the faster the skin will clear and heal. Include raw foods that contain oxalic acid, including almonds, beets, cashews, and Swiss chard. Exceptions are spinach and rhubarb; these contain oxalic acid, but should be considered in small amounts only. Eat more foods rich in Zinc, including shellfish, soybeans, whole grains, sunflower seeds, and a small amount of raw nuts daily. Zinc is an antibacterial agent and a necessary element in the oilproducing glands of the skin. A diet low in zinc may promote flare-ups. Take 45 mg Zinc Picolinate daily for 6 to 12 weeks. Zinc is involved in immune-system stimulation, protein formation, and wound healing. In clinical tests, it has been found to be as effective as the antibiotic tetracycline in relieving acne lesions. Eat a lot of fruits. This is always good for the skin because of the nutritional value and water content of fruit. You can also use certain fruits as a tonic on the surface of the skin. Grapes, strawberries, and pineapple are rich in Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). These acids help to exfoliate the skin by removing the dead skin cells that can clog the oil glands. Eat plenty of soured products, if you are not allergic to dairy products, such as low-fat yogurt, to maintain healthy intestinal flora. Be sure your diet contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). Supplements of these vitamins can prove to be beneficial for acne sufferers. Although vitamin A is important in fighting acne, you must be sure not to take too much. Vitamin E can help regulate vitamin A levels and can also aid in scar prevention. Avoid alcohol, butter, caffeine, cheese, chocolate, cocoa, cream, eggs, fat, fish, fried foods, hot and spicy foods, hydrogenated oils and shortenings, margarine, meat, poultry, wheat, soft drinks, and foods containing brominated vegetable oils. Try eliminating dairy products from your diet for one month. Acne may develop due to an allergic reaction to dairy products, and the fat content of the dairy products can worsen the condition. Modern dairy and other animal products often contain hormones and steroids that can upset the body's natural hormonal balance. After the month is over, add dairy products back one at a time to see if the acne returns. Avoid all forms of sugar. Sugar impairs immune function. In addition, biopsies of individuals with acne have shown their tissues' glucose tolerance to be seriously flawed. This condition has been called "skin diabetes" by researchers. Sugar promotes the growth of candida, which may be a contributing factor to acne. If you do eat sweets, eat them in small amounts over a period of several hours, rather than in large amounts all at once. Eating large quantities of sugar aggravates acne by causing the body to produce insulin, which causes a burst of growth in the cells lining the pores and makes them close up. Eliminate all processed foods from the diet, and do not use iodized salt. These contain high levels of iodine, which is known to worsen acne. Enzymes induce the nutrients in food to be used to construct muscle tissue, nerve cells, bone, skin, and glandular tissue. Because processed foods contain so few enzymes, they can result in damage to the skin and its collagen. For the same reason, avoid fish, kelp, and onions. Follow a Fasting Program. MoonDragon's Health Therapy: Fasting Use cleansing enemas to remove toxic buildup in the system and promote faster healing. MoonDragon's Health Therapy: Enemas Keep the affected area as free of oil as possible. Shampoo your hair frequently. Use an all-natural soap with sulfur that is designed for acne (available in health food stores). Wash your skin thoroughly but gently; never rub hard, and no more than twice daily. Vigorous scrubbing and overwashing as well as repeated touching of the skin can make acne worse by overstimulating the sebaceous glands, causing them to produce excessive amounts of sebum. Avoid wearing makeup. If you feel you must use cosmetics, use only natural, water-based products; do not use any oil-based formulas. Avoid any products containing harsh chemicals, dyes, or oils. Wash and dry makeup applicator brushes and sponges in alcohol after each use to avoid contamination. Use a mixture of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and quality water to balance the skin's pH. Mix 1 part Apple Cider Vinegar with 10 parts quality water, and apply the mixture on the affected area. Friction makes pimples more likely to rupture, so avoid wearing tight clothing like turtlenecks. Carefully adjust straps on sports equipment such as bicycle or football helmets. Even using the telephone can exacerbate inflammation if you hold the receiver against your cheek for long periods. Keep your hair away from your face to prevent excess oil and bacteria from being deposited on the skin. If you must shave an area of skin affected by acne, use a standard blade. Using an electric razor may be beneficial. When shaving with a blade, use a single-edge blade razor and always shave in the direction of hair growth. As much as possible, avoid Stress. Stress can promote hormonal changes and cause flare-ups. Many dermatologists also recommend 15 minutes of sunshine each day, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep for people with acne. Avoid the use of oral or topical steroids, which can aggravate acne. Do not squeeze the spots. To do so is to risk increasing inflammation by causing breaks in the skin in which harmful bacteria can lodge. Do not touch the affected area unless your hands have been thoroughly cleaned.

Nutrition Basics: Skin Care Information

AEROBIC 07 - OXYGEN SUPPLEMENT PRODUCTS Aerobic 07 - Liquid Stabilized Oxygen by Aerobic Life (2.33 fl. oz) is a dietary supplement. The human body is an incredible machine. In addition to its many other functions it is continually working to rid the body of foreign organisms. White blood cells within the body fight disease by blasting the damaged cell with a super oxide that acts similar to nascent oxygen.

Therefore, it is important when anyone takes an oxygen supplement to also take antioxidants. This will ensure that the cells will be properly protected. It contains a moderate level of oxygen. When taken as directed, there is enough oxygen to provide a benefit to the user, but not to cause over-oxidation within the body. In order to provide a stable environment for oxygen, the oxygen atoms must be bound to a stabilizing compound. It is important to choose an oxygen product that has stabilizers that provide a stable environment and allow for a controlled release of oxygen. Considerations About Stabilized Oxygen When considering an oxygen product, there are, no doubt, many health supplements from which to choose. Things to consider when looking for a high quality oxygen supplement: Higher Parts-Per-Million (PPM) does not mean that the product is better. Too much oxygen can cause over-oxidation within the body. As a result, cells can become damaged, resulting in premature aging. Aerobic K07 was formulated with these concerns in mind.
