Why An Acne Skin Care Treatment Product Can Cause Problems

Did you know the average topical acne skin care treatment product may get rid of the lesions on your skin, but they can also cause you problems? I dont advise anyone to blindly use the over the counter anti acne formulas so often advertised as the answer to eliminating acne. What I would tell you to use in order to clear up your skin is an all natural product made up of a specific combination of ingredients.

You will not have to worry about developing severe redness and irritation of the skin when applying all natural compounds, nor will the skin becoming excessively dry and flaky be a problem. Better yet, you wont have to worry about things like the possible release of carcinogenic substances when treating the skin with natural oils, waxes, and extracts.

You might not think much about the prospect of their being cancer causing compounds in your acne skin care treatment product, but the fact is that there are carcinogens in most skin care products. The primary cause of carcinogens in topical acne formulas is an antibacterial compound known as triclosan. Let me explain a little bit about the effect that triclosan can have on you.

Water is still the most commonly used solvent when it comes to the development of topical skin care products, which is fine in most cases. Some of the commonly used compounds such as triclosan however, have a reaction when they come into contact with water. In the case of triclosan specifically, the compound releases THMs or trihalomethanes, which are carcinogenic.

Triclosan has also been proven prone to creating its own forms of bacterium, most of which have proven to be antibiotic resistant. Now, since the Propionibacterium acnes that are the source of the inflammation that leads to the formation of acne lesions on the skin are already resistant to most common antibiotics, does it really make sense to have something in your acne skin care treatment product that creates more such microorganisms?

A safer and more effective way of dealing the Propionibacterium acnes is a natural antibacterial compound known as active Manuka honey. You may not think of a monofloral honey as a as a powerful healing compound, but active Manuka honey is renowned for its ability to fight off even antibiotic resistant staph infections. This compound is more than enough to eliminate the harmful bacterium that is cause your skin to flare up.

Aside from Manuka honey, the all natural acne skin care treatment product youll want to use should contain compounds proven to dramatically reduce the inflammation in your skin. Natural ingredients such as Phytessence Wakame kelp extract, Jojoba oil, and Shea butter are effective for this purpose. Jojoba oil and Maracuja passion fruit extract can also control your excessive sebum production, which is what causes your follicles to become plugged.

Bottom line, an all natural acne skin care treatment product featuring some or all of these ingredients are the best thing that you could use on your skin. Your skin will look better than you ever realized it could.
