Having acne brings untold stress and unhappiness not to mention a total loss of self confidence. I hated going out in public when my acne was at its peak - I bet you feel the same. This article and others I have written will help you cure your acne and discover what works and what doesn't. It's important to treat acne the correct way. I suffered from acne throughout my teens and only found a cure after trying out most of the most popular acne products out there.

Here's my unbiased review of what many people believe are the top 2 acne products out there today. I hope this article will help you find a cure for acne quickly and easily.

No 1: Acnezine is a naturally created acne product that kills acne efficiently. The product's main ingredient is safe and free from any kinds of adverse side effects. Acnezine also helps cure other acne related problems such as blackheads and pimples.

I believe you also need to take a good look at your diet and remove greasy and unnaturally oily foods from your diet. As nice as they are potato chips, peanut butter, burgers and fries can only harm your mission to get rid of acne for good.

An inflammatory skin condition that shows superficial skin eruptions is what acne can be described as. Acne is at times taken either too seriously or too lightly by people. Acne can even cause permanent scarring, so it should not be ignored; and if home remedies don’t work, then professional help from a dermatologist should be sought. Acne bioskincare skin treatment is a substance (cream) that is easily absorbed by the skin, and causes no adverse effects on any other parts of the body.

This acne bioskincare cream for skin treatment is a compound that is made from substance obtained by live creatures like Chilean snails but without causing any harm to them. The Bioskincare skin treatment product contains peptides to fight acne from within the skin follicles as well as bio-available skin regenerating peptides to repair scarred skin. In addition, this unique cream for skin treatment also contains active enzymes that open clogged pores of the skin for easy absorption of the cream.

The secretion obtained from the snails consists of a natural antibiotic to fight the bacteria that cause acne. Not just a normal acne outbreak but acne bioskincare skin treatment will work in a severe acne infection too when it is coupled with oral anti-acne medication. For a long-term acne treatment, make use of this gentle yet effective cane skin treatment coupled with your regular detoxification routine for the skin and you will be rewarded handsomely with the results.

Juice Fast Journal - Week 2 of 6
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Katie_Snyder]Katie Snyder

Did you know you can keep your skin looking silky and "glowy" from the inside out? Your body has the ability to naturally boost and perfect your complexion when it's fed the right ingredients. A diet rich in Vitamins A, C, & E, is your new secret weapon to a flawless complexion! What better way to flood your body with these vitamins than by putting them directly into your bloodstream through juicing!

I have been juice fasting now for two weeks - I feel amazing! I have to say that the biggest physical difference I've noticed this week is my skin and my complexion. I have literally had people tell me every single day (at least 20 people total) that my face is glowing - just the thing every girl wants to hear! I've missed my glow in recent months, so, it's nice to get your bulb changed and even nicer for people to notice. My first week, I had some break outs as the toxins were exiting but my face is clear, smooth, and shiny now. My skin everywhere else is super silky and soft too!

So, I'm sure at this point, you are wondering: "What minerals do I need to look for and what do they do for my skin?" Here's a little glimpse into my healthy complexion beauty secrets!

Vitamin A: Maintains and repairs skin cells, helps prevent the skin from premature aging, has an anti-inflammatory nature, and has antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals.

Vitamin C: Helps fight off skin damage and wrinkles, a great skin restorer, helps produce collagen which keeps the skin plump and smooth, and is important to building strong cartilage, joints and blood vessels.

Vitamin E: Important in eliminating pollutants from the body, helps the body form antibodies, builds natural antihistamines, contributes to a healthy circulatory system, aids in proper blood clotting, improves wound healing, and some studies have shown that vitamin E decreases symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and certain types of breast disease.

What do I need to juice to get clear, healthy skin? Let's take a look at the top five foods to incorporate into your juicing to get back that youthful glow and maintain your skin's vitality:

Berries
Berries are naturally sweet, which is what makes them so perfect for juicing - YUMMY! Berries pack a tremendous punch in the vitamin department. They are super rich in Vitamins A, C, & E. Berries are also an excellent source of folic acid which helps protect against colon cancer, lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Folic acid also prevents some birth defects. When eaten whole, berries are high in fiber; fiber protects against colon cancer, lowers your risk of heart disease, and helps regulate blood sugars.

Berries are flowing with phytochemicals. What is exactly is a "phytochemical," you ask? Well, they are a natural powerful antioxidant that berries get their distinctive color from. Studies have shown phytochemicals to be a leader in the fight against diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, alzheimer's, memory loss, and high blood pressure; they even curb the aging process.
Many grocers have berries that were actually picked before they were ripe and allowed to ripen on their journey to your kitchen. While these still contain many health benefits, they have significantly less vitamins and phytochemicals. The berries with the most benefits are of course fresh berries that you would pick from your garden or from the local farmer's market and, as always, are organically grown.

BERRY BONANZA: Juice a handful each of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries and add that to ½ Cup of Bolthouse Farms Berry Blast and ½ Cup of Odewalla Pomegranate juice for an antioxidant punch. I have this as a snack every day and I wholeheartedly attribute it to my new complexion.

Spinach / Kale / Chard / Watercress
Popeye the Sailorman didn't just have bulging biceps - he also had a flawless complexion - ever notice? Spinach - and other leafy greens like cabbage, kale, chard, and watercress are also a great source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and the mineral iron. Iron is very important in keeping your blood healthy which keeps your skin looking bright and "glowing." They're also rich in B vitamins, so they have the added benefit of boosting your energy, which naturally increases your activity levels, keeping your body fit and your skin conditioned. All greens are rich in chlorophyll, which purifies the blood of the toxins that cause skin eruptions. If you are juicing, try adding a handful of any leafy green spinach or chard or one large kale leaf to any live juice recipe - it will turn your drink green, but not your tummy - you won't even notice! Try adding rocket, watercress, baby spinach, or cabbage to your regular salads and in sandwiches - you won't know it's there but your skin will thank you.

Mango
Mangoes contain more than 80% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin A and have fewer than 70 calories per serving, making it a perfect fruit for your figure, not just your face. Beta-carotene is a dominant mineral found in mango; it is converted by your body into Vitamin A. Beta-carotene is so important to skin vitality, that it's often prescribed as a topical ointment for acne. It is the mineral that is responsible for the vivid orange color found in mangos, pumpkins, carrots, apricots, sweet potatoes, peaches, and, of course, oranges and that is accredited for improving eye sight and helping the body protect itself against sun damage. Don't just look for it in the orange foods though, plenty of beta-carotene can be found in dark green foods as well: spinach, broccoli, romaine lettuce, and green peppers.

"A"- 1 Juice: ½ peeled orange, ½ peach, 1 apricot, 1 Handful Spinach, and ½ a Mango - mix with 1 Cup Bolthouse Farms Mango Madness - so yummy!

Acerola Cherries
Your average cherry doesn't supply a significant amount of vitamin C, but this is no ordinary cherry! One single Acerola cherry supplies 100% of the daily recommendation for vitamin C, which is great news for your skin. Acerola cherry is one of the top ingredients found in Bolthouse Farms' C-Boost. (www.lifescript.com)

"C" the Way - live juice 1 orange (peeled), 2 small Gala Apples and 2 Carrots; add to 1 cup of C-Boost and you have a vitamin rich, face friendly smoothie to start your day off right.

SUPERFOOD: Wheat Germ, Spriulina, & Blue-green Algea
Don't let the word "germ" scare you - it's actually just the embryo within a grain of wheat, and it's very nutritious. Wheat germ is a good source of biotin, a B vitamin that is crucial to skin health. Biotin is so important to healthy skin that a mild deficiency can actually cause dermatitis, a skin condition characterized by itchy, scaly skin. Spirulina and blue-green algae have cooling, detoxifying natures which keep the skin cool and the body flushed of any skin damaging free radicals. (www.lifescript.com)

SUPER SUPERFOOD: To get in these vitamin rich foods, twice a day, I drink 1 cup of Odewalla Superfood mixed with 1 Cup Naked Superfood and mix that with a live juice combo: ¼ cantaloupe (with rind), 3 carrots, and a handful of spinach - I mix in my fiber & protein and I have a tasty, nutritious lunch and dinner that I know is nourishing, cleansing, and protecting my body.

Aging Gracefully: Skin Care in Your 20's, 30's, 40's, and Beyond

How to keep your skin looking great!

Invest some time and care!

Everyone wants to have younger looking skin. Unfortunately, even the most expensive skin care products, with all their claims of 'reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles', can't turn back the years. However, don't despair! There are steps that we can all take to make sure our skin looks healthy and vibrant and stays wrinkle-free for longer. All we've got to do is invest some time and care in looking after it.

It is important to understand the basic function of our skin in order to look after it properly. The skin is our body’s largest organ and comprises three major layers:

The Epidermis: This layer has five sub-layers; the outer layer consists of mainly dead cells which are continuously shed and replaced by cells beneath. The epidermis is also responsible for ‘water proofing’ your skin, protecting your skin from potential invasion of microbes and generate new skin cells which move from the deep layer of the epidermis to the outer layer, where they are eventually shed.

The Dermis: Is the ‘middle layer of the skin and is composed of connective tissue containing collagen and elastin. The dermis is thick in the palms and soles and very thin in the eyelids. It contains blood vessels, nerves, glands, and hair follicles.

The Subcutaneous layer: This layer consists of areolar and adipose tissue. Fibres from the dermis extend down into the subcutaneous layer and anchor the skin to it. The subcutaneous layer, in turn, attaches to underlying tissues and organs.

Aging of the skin

There are several factors influencing how quickly our skin ages, ranging from genetic factors, your natural skin type, as well as external factors such as exposure to sunlight, environmental factors and whether you smoke or not. In general, pale skins wrinkle faster than darker skins, which are protected by increased amounts of pigment and lipids.

Another vital factor is, of course, our age. Our skin looks and functions very differently at 20 as opposed to when we are 60.

Below is a skin care plan of how to look after your skin as the decades go by and how to adapt your skin care regime accordingly.

Looking after your skin in your 20s

Your 20s is a great time for your skin. You've left behind the adolescence acne and your skin has a radiant, youthful glow and the epidermis is well toned.

However, this is not the time to be complacent. In your 20s skin cell renewal drops by up to 28 per cent, dead skin cells are not as easily shed and external factors are starting to have a greater impact, leaving your skin slightly duller.

According to dermatologists, 80 per cent of all aging can be directly related to exposure to sunlight. Therefore, it is a good idea to avoid the mid-day sun, or if you have to be out in the heat of the day (especially in countries like Australia), than cover up. Penetrating UVA rays will start to damage collagen fibres and elastin coils in your skin.

Smoking one factor you can control and now would be a good time to quite. Smoking inhibits oxygen getting to the outer layer of your skin and has a premature aging effect. In addition, smoking can cause fine lines around the mouth over the years and this is to be avoided – if you want to keep your good looks.

Looking after your skin in your 30s

By the time you get to your 30s skin cell turnover has slowed. Environmental damage from pollution, smoke and sunlight are starting to take their toll on the dermis, causing collagen fibres to loosen so that skin starts to loose its tone and develop fine lines and wrinkles. When you smile, subcutaneous fat forms ridges and refuse to bounce back as readily as it once did. Your first wrinkles may start to appear.

By now you should have established a daily skincare regime that involves exfoliating (two or three times a week), cleansing, moisturising and sun protection for your skin. In your 30s, it's important to maintain a balanced diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and fish, which are high in antioxidants such as Vitamins A, B, C and E. These Vitamins counteract free radicals in your body that help the skin to repair itself, produce the enzymes that stabilise collagen production, and stay moist and healthy. For further protection, try using a day crème, such as one that contains vitamin E, for example: Wildcrafted’s Age Defying Essence.

Alcohol should only be consumed in moderation as it deprives your skin of vital nutrients and may cause your facial blood vessels to become dilated leading to permanent, red ‘spider veins’ on your cheeks and in men often across the nose.

Maintaining well hydrated tissues by drinking plenty of water each and every day (3 litres a day is not at all excessive) is vital to retain moisture in your skin. In addition, you should ensure that you get enough quality sleep.

Looking after your skin in your 40s

In your 40s, collagen fibres decrease in number, stiffen, break apart, and form into a shapeless, matted tangle. Elastic fibres lose some of their elasticity, thicken into clumps, and fray. The result is the skin forms crevices and furrows known as lines and wrinkles. In addition, loss of fat in the subcutaneous layer leaves your skin more fragile, whereas the dermis will continue to lose its elasticity. A rich nourishing night crème, such as Wildcrafted’s rejuvenating night crème, becomes a vital part of your skin care regime.

During this time the stratum corneum (the outer layer of the epidermis) starts to grow even thicker, as dead skin cells hang around for longer. If you are not already using an exfoliant regularly, now is a good time to get into the habit of exfoliating your skin regularly using a facial scrub – 2-3 times a week is all that’s necessary. You could also use a cream containing Rose oil, Jojoba oil or similar, as these contain natural AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) and to help remove dead skin cells.

As deeper wrinkles start to form, you may wish to use a complete skin care system, which systematically helps you to nourish and moisturise your skin on all levels. Choose natural skin care products for your daily skin care regime, as you do not want to introduce unnecessary toxins into your system by using products full of unpronounceable chemicals. Quality natural skin care systems, such as Wildcrafted’s range of natural skin care systems should be matched to your specific skin type.

Looking after your skin in your 50s and above

As we reach our 50s and beyond, the hair and nails grow more slowly. Langerhans cells (involved in the immune response, dwindle in number, thus decreasing the immune responsiveness of older skin. Decreased size of sebaceous (oil) glands leads to dry and broken skin that is more susceptible to infection.

In women, after the menopause, decreased oestrogen levels mean that skin lose its plumpness and tone, and it may be left dry, itchy and more sensitive to allergens.

At this stage in your life it is important to take that extra care of your skin’s health. Mature skin is more fragile, prone to injury and infection and bruises easily. As if this was not bad enough, it also takes longer to heal. Taking care of your skin will reduce the aging effect; keep it healthier as well as more resistant to injury and infections. Remember, a face that has a lived in look is much more attractive than a Botox face and character is much more beauty.

You Can Be a Cruise Ship Owner Even If You Are Not Rich

You Can Be a Cruise Ship Owner Even If You Are Not Rich
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Arthur_Wyss]Arthur Wyss

Unlike fractional ownership of aircraft and houseboats, fractional owners of a cruise ship can all use the ship simultaneously. There is plenty of room for you and the other owners to live on the ship any time you want, or all the time. You can use it as a full-time residence, and so can the other co-owners.

The first obvious benefit of shared ownership is acquisition cost. There are many cruise ships on the market in all price ranges, sizes, ages, and conditions. There are many smaller and older cruise ships available for less than one million dollars. At the lower end, some smaller cruise ships in fair condition can be acquired for about $250,000. At the highest end, the biggest new mega cruise ships now cost about $500 million to build.

Do the math. If one hundred buyers pool resources in exchange for a percentage of ship ownership, the acquisition cost will be divided by that same number. One percent ownership of a $250,000 cruise ship would cost a mere $2500 for ship acquisition. At the other end of the scale, one percent ownership of a brand new mega cruise ship would cost five million dollars.

There are some other figures that must be tabulated into the total cost of ownership. Acquisition cost is first and foremost. The next figure is the cost to put the ship in service. On an older ship this cost may be higher than the acquisition cost. On the other hand, the cost to put a ship into service can be much lower if you were to get a good deal on a ship that already meets the international standards for ship safety, especially SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea). Maintaining compliance with Chapter II SOLAS 74 amendments is cost prohibitive for some older ships and they are typically scrapped instead of being refurbished at great expense. There is a very important SOLAS implementation date coming up on January 10, 2010. On that date all commercial international ships will be required to be in compliance with the new fire safety codes. The most important new codes deal with the use of combustible materials in the ship. It will be expensive to replace all combustible materials in ships with non-combustible or flame resistant SOLAS compliant materials that meet the new safety standards. This will result in many ships being sold for scrap metal.

The looming SOLAS 2010 implementation date offers both perils and opportunities. The biggest peril is the possibility that the expense to bring a ship into full compliance with international standards will be greater than the value of the ship. However, there is a silver lining in this cloud. This pending SOLAS implementation date has already started to show up as a primary factor in the asking and selling prices of ships on the market today.

SOLAS 2010 also offers a tremendous opportunity for those who may prefer to have a very large houseboat instead of a commercial ship. Ships that are not in compliance with SOLAS 2010 are now selling for a song (inexpensively). A cruise ship can easily be converted into a megayacht with the stroke of a pen. Privately owned yachts, not in commercial service, and not carrying passengers or cargo for hire are exempt from many of the SOLAS requirements. Operating costs are also lower for a private yacht. It cost less to register, flag, and insure a private yacht. Megayachts can be flagged and classified for unlimited service. That means that a megayacht can go practically anywhere you want it to go. There is one major drawback to registering a cruise ship as a private yacht. You cannot use the yacht commercially. This cuts off a potential revenue source.

There are many decent cruise ships for sale at prices of less than one million dollars that would make good private megayachts. For example, take the 'VERGINA SKY' is a ship that I have personally inspected and so I can talk first hand about it. The asking price was $750,000. Here are the specifics of the ship in a nutshell:

Current Name: Vergina Sky

Ship Details: Built: 1971 in Japan - totally rebuilt 1992 in Greece

Dimensions: LOA 97.8m x LBP 82m x beam 14.6m x draft 4.49m Dwt: 500 on 4,49 GT/NT: 4,668 / 1,717

Description: Pielstick 2 x 8400bhp, twin screw, bow thruster, 3 x 500kw generators, 16 knots, 2 saloons, restaurant, 3 bars, casino, duty free shop, disco, swimming pool, 120 cabins for 318 guests. Lying Greece

My Comments after inspecting the ship

This is a well built little 'Pocket Cruiser.' At just over 320' in length overall, it is a small cruise ship. Many experienced cruise passengers prefer smaller more intimate cruise ships for a variety of reasons. This ship can go places where the big cruise ships cannot reach, such as shallow draft ports and even many rivers. It has an omni-directional bow thruster and can turn on a dime (relatively speaking of course). I have carefully examined this ship from the engine log to the ultrasound hull report. This is a sound and safe little cruise ship. It is also a very fuel efficient and economical ship. My first time on this ship was in the middle of the summer in Greece when it was very hot outside. The ship is fully air conditioned and it was cool and comfortable inside the ship. I checked the engine room to see how many generators were running. I am happy to report that all the electric and air-conditioning requirements can be met by running just one of the three Daihatsu generators. These generators are very economical to operate in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance.

I was able to negotiate with the owner, John Kosmas and get some concessions. I got the price down to $500,000. And at that price, he agreed to bring the ship into compliance with SOLAS 2005 and also to include new paint topside. The ship was fairly well furnished even including bed linen, but the ship had been laid up for years. Its most recent service was in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Cruise ships that trade exclusively in the Mediterranean and Black Seas tend to have smaller cabins and fewer amenities than the typical cruise ships that frequent the Caribbean. The bottom line is that this ship was an economy model, not a luxury model. When I was inspecting the engine room, I asked for the engine log. When I opened it I noticed all the entries were in Greek. I was able to discern some dates and other data that told me when the ship was last in service, but I could not read the Greek entries so I handed the engine log back to the ship owner, and told him "It's all Greek to me." Being Greek, Mr. Kosmas failed to find the humor in that.

Let's look at the numbers on this ship. 100% of the acquisition cost would have been $500,000. 1% thus = $5000. One hundred buyers could own one percent each. There are 120 cabins so each co-owner could have a private cabin with 20 cabins left over. However, these cabins are a bit on the small side. Every cabin does have a bath and shower, but the size is just too small to be comfortable for most people, especially if the owners intend to live onboard full time. On a ship this size I would recommend that there be no more than 60 joint owners so each can have two cabins and will have the option of converting those two cabins into a two room suite. To keep the numbers simple lets say that this ship has 50 buyers who each buy 2% of the ship. Buy in cost per owner would then be $10,000. If there were only ten buyers, then the acquisition cost per buyer would be $50,000. $50,000 will not buy much of a house on land, but on this ship it would buy 10% of a ship like the Vergina Sky and twelve cabins that could be converted into a fairly large home.

At the economy end of the scale, a co owner could buy 1% of an economical cruise ship for about $5000. However it is not necessary for all co owners to have equal shares in the ship. Ownership can easily be divided up into 1% increments. If one buyer wanted 5%, then his cost of acquisition would be $25,000. He would be entitled to 5% of the ship's cabins, and would have five votes on operations and management of the ship, such as itinerary planning.

Before becoming a joint owner, it would be imperative to find other people who have similar goals. I would suggest composing a preliminary DCCR (DECLARATION OF
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS). You can do this before you even shop for a ship. Write your version of how you envision the shared ownership of a cruise ship as it should be. Then see if you can find some people who agree with your goals and your DCCR, subject to some revisions and concessions to accommodate other joint owners.

Step One: Determine if you and your family have the desire and financial capability to become joint cruise ship (or megayacht) owners.

Step Two: Find others who agree with your concept for shared ownership of a ship.

Step Three: Shop for a ship. This is the fun part.

Step Four: Buy a ship.

Step Five: Put the ship into service.

Even if you are not rich, you can afford to jointly own a cruise ship. But then comes the next logical question: Why would you or anyone want to live on a cruise ship? Who would this be suitable for?

If you are retired or otherwise have a stable income from a dependable source you probably can afford to be a cruise ship co-owner and live full-time onboard a cruise ship. If you work in a field where you can work from home online, then you too can probably afford to become a co-owner of a cruise ship. Most modern ships have satellite Internet service available 24-7.

Operating a cruise ship is expensive. The expenses include the cost of fuel, labor, maintenance, repairs, spares, food, port charges, insurance, technical management, shore management, registration, and the other costs of operating the ship. At first glance these costs may seem expensive, but in reality the cost of living at sea is actually a bargain considering what you get based upon what you pay. The best value does not always translate to the cheapest price. If the ship is well managed, the management will seek the highest quality goods, services, and labor at the very best global value. If the owners are dissatisfied with either technical or shore management, they replace them.

If there are many other co-owners of the ship to split the operating expenses of the ship, it can be affordable for those with a moderate level of income, such as a retirement check. I do have specific operating cost figures but I won't bore you with that data. The bottom line is that it would not be prohibitively expensive for a middle-class average person to be able to afford to own a fraction of a cruise ship and be able to afford to live on the cruise ship full-time if they elect to do so.

For comparison purposes it is noteworthy that you have expenses in land based housing too. Those expenses include property taxes, homeowners insurance, maintenance and repairs, yard care, and utilities. Additionally you have transportation costs and of course food costs. Most people also spend money on entertainment too. When these expenses are added up the maintenance fees for living aboard a ship are comparable.

There are actually some savings resulting from living aboard a ship. The ship's executive chef buys food and kitchen supplies in bulk for the ship and can get better prices than the average shopper. Other savings result from the large freezers and the mobility of the ship giving the food service management the ability to stock up on supplies in countries where prices are low. Some crew and owners may choose to fish for leisure. This can supply some fresh food at even lower costs to the owners. Labor savings are realized when the crew is hired based upon the best global labor rates. The laws of supply and demand drive prices down in some places in the world. Proper ship management can capitalize on these disparities. All the savings would be passed on to the cabin owners resulting in an economical cost of living similar to what you could expect to spend with a conventional home. Ship management should have accounting transparency will all books (financial records) open and available for any owner to inspect. Also ship management should submit all financial records quarterly to an outside auditor for the peace of mind of the owners. Anybody in the chain who spends any of the ship's operational funds should also be periodically audited. For example, a good way to audit the executive chef would be for one or more of the live-aboard co-owners of the ship to go to the food market district of each port of call and they should try to haggle and get a better price for the same food than the price the executive chef was able to acquire. If the executive chef cannot find better deals than the ship's co-owners, then the executive chef should be given his walking papers. The executive chef position is a vital position on a cruise ship. This is a position of trust because he will bill the food he buys to the ship. He must never be tempted to accept bribes from vendors or suppliers. Therefore, he should know that he will be routinely audited and any substandard performance will result in termination of his employment.

The biggest value of all onboard cruise ship is in labor costs. The better cruise ships tend to be labor intensive, providing passengers with unrelenting attention and extravagant pampering. The hotel staff on all cruise ships provides the basic services including food preparation and serving, laundry, cabin stewarding, entertainment, casino operation, beauty shop operations, This is one area where I would prefer to not scrimp because of the very good value in these services due to the low cost of international labor. I would prefer to go beyond the level that most cruise ships go in the area of spas. Land based luxury and specialty resort spas are very expensive, but the exact same level of service, professionalism, skill, and treatments can be provided on a cruise ship at extremely low cost. Labor is the key and the primary reason for most of the expense of spas. Labor is a tremendous value on a cruise ship because the cruise ship managers can choose workers from the global marketplace where it is easy to get the best value for the money.

Spas

Spa treatment is customized for each client. Spas commonly offer services such as:

Soothing massage therapies, skin and body treatments drawing from European and Eastern principles, expert hair and nail services, and a full menu of therapeutic treatments utilizing a deep-cleansing facial at the start of the program, as well as a series of detoxification and contouring wraps, lypo-reduction wrap, as well as marine mud and herb wraps. Massage Therapies including: Swedish Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Deep Tissue Treatment, Maternity Massage, Therapeutic Foot Massage (Reflexology), French Hydrotherapy Massage.

The healing therapies include a variety of massages, reflexology, facials, firming and many other body treatments. Plus a wide variety of services and wellness programs specially designed to meet the individual's needs and desires. A full service salon offers all manner of hair treatments (including a certified colorist), as well as a variety of manicures, pedicures, and 'facelifts' for your hands. Extensive skin care includes: Age Management Therapies including, Glycolic Facial, Anti-Aging Facial Peel, Microdermabrasion; Facials including: Aromaplasty Facial, Teen Facial, Gentleman's Facial, Nutrisource Facial, Regulating Acne Facial, Vitamin "C" Skin Renewal Facial; Body Treatments including: Decleor Sauna Mask, French Hydrotherapy Massage, Andromeda Salt Glow, Mummy Mud Mask, Seaweed Body Wrap, Safe Sun Treatment, Herbal Wrap; as well as various hair and nail treatments.

Additionally, spas also can facilitate weight reduction programs, and even administer physical therapy. In short, you can be treated like a king, on the budget of a pauper.

Labor Costs – International competition provides the most value to the ship owners.

On paper it seems to make good sense to man the ship with a Philippine crew. I love the Philippines. I have been there several times. English is still widely spoken and usually spoken quite well. The people are usually friendly and happy to see foreign tourists. A large percentage of ships worldwide are manned by crews from the Philippines. The Philippine government has a pretty good structure and system to facilitate the export of Philippine labor. In spite of how attractive it seems on paper, I would recommend NOT hiring a crew from the Philippines. Philippine workers tend to be envious of others, and especially of everybody else's wages. They tend to think they are getting the raw end of the deal. It is rare to find a Filipino who is happy with his employment. While I am sure there are many good employees from the Philippines, there are more who are dissatisfied than satisfied with their employment. There seems to be a cultural anomaly in the Philippines where people feel that employers are bad guys. I would hesitate to recommend a crew from the Philippines in spite of the apparent advantages on paper.

My recommendation (for what it is worth)

I do know something about what I am writing about here. I am the former President of Adventure Spa Cruise. My advice is not just uninformed ranting. Back to the point now, the second best manning nation for a ship is India. I highly recommend India for the medical staff and the entire hotel staff, including the spa, and every other position except the deck and engineering. The labor costs in India are very attractive. I would also recommend using an Indian based manning agency. It is best if the ship's owners do not have to deal with every employee issue or concern. The manning agency takes the pressure off the ship's management, and their service is very reasonable. Indian employees tend to make better employees than do Filipinos. Indians also speak English, albeit not quite as well as Filipinos. I know Americans tend to get all worked up when someone uses a broad brush to paint an entire ethnicity. I love the people from the Philippines, but as employees they tend to be more problematic than do Indian employees. I realize that this statement is politically incorrect, and these days that might get me thrown in jail. I usually do not worry so much about being politically correct. I call it the way I see I and I let the cards fall where they may, and hope I can stay out of jail for speaking my mind.

All deck and engineering positions should be filled with an all Ukrainian crew. The ship will realize the most value for the money with Ukrainian deck and engineering staff. The Ukraine has a long maritime history and tradition. Maritime training and standards in the Ukraine are among the best in the world. Ukrainian deck and engineering staff are as good as or better than any other, but the cost of their labor is a very good value. The labor for deck officer and engineering staff are governed by international agreements, including STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers).

Putting a cruise ship into service

After acquiring the ship, it will require some more investment to put it into service. At this point the joint owners will need to reach some agreements on many points. The cost of putting a cruise ship into service as a megayacht (very large private yacht) is much less than putting the ship into commercial service. However, if you can afford to buy a ship can easily meet SOLAS 2010 requirements, and can afford to flag and register it as a commercial ship then you can use the ship commercially to produce income and ROI (return on investment).

There are many marketing options for a commercial cruise ship. If the owners use no more than half the cabins, then that will leave sufficient means to produce enough revenue to at least pay for operating costs, and possibly produce a profit above operating costs. I will just briefly touch on some of the options available for marketing cruise ship capacity.

1. Conventional cruises. There is a trade-off here. You can produce revenue by providing conventional cruises. This will require that the ship have an itinerary that suits the commercial cruising market.

2. Freight and cargo. Some cruise ships have enough cargo capacity to produce some revenue by booking freight.

3. Assisted living. A cruise ship is well suited for assisted living, including crew and facilities. The going rate for assisted living in the average city in America is higher than the average cost of a cruise of the same duration.

4. Timeshares. This is an option not available to conventional cruise ship operators but could be facilitated if your co-owners agree to this type of marketing to fill cabins not used by co-owners. I will not go into the figures here, but timeshares tend to be high profit sales. There is a good chance that if the joint owners use no more than half the ship's cabins for their own personal use, the remaining cabins could easily produce more than the total amount all the joint owners combined have invested.

Ships that would easily meet SOLAS 2010 tend to cost a bit more money to buy up front, and cost more to put into service. So I will give you couple of examples.

The Orient Venus is one of my favorite high-end ships. The specs:

My personal assessment of the Orient Venus

It is a late model and beautiful ship. It has many highly desirable attributes for a residential ship. It is a high end luxury cruise ship with an extraordinarily high tonnage to passenger ratio. This is very important for a residential ship. More living room and more space per passenger is far more essential for a residential ship than for a conventional cruise ship. When passengers are only on a ship for a short time, they can tolerate cramped living quarters, but when they live year-round on a ship, the extra space is quite valuable. The owners have been trying to sell this ship for $22,000,000. That may seem like a high price, but when you divide it by the number of cabins (195) the asking price per cabin is $102,564. This price is in line with what you would expect to pay for a condominium. The last word I got from the owners is that they will sell the ship for $18,000,000 now ($92,307 per cabin). The cabins are all "outside" cabins and are large. The ship can accommodate 606 passengers and a crew of 120, for a total of 726 people.

Several ship brokers have this ship listed. I usually do not talk to ship brokers. I prefer to talk directly with the ship owners. I am in contact with the owners of the Orient Venus. I could probably get this stunningly beautiful ship for less than $15,000,000 today, and get some concessions and extras thrown in to boot.

Another example of a high end ship that would make do well as a commercial cruise ship, plus accommodate a hundred or so full-time live aboard co-owners is the Dream Princess, originally named Song of Norway.

Ship was redecorated / refurbished extensively during 2005.

The asking price on this ship is $31 million USD. Divide the asking price by the number of cabins and the average cost per cabin would be $57,620. Of course some cabins are better than others so co-owners would have to agree of the shared usage before agreeing to the purchase.

I have some bad news for the ship owners and some good news for you. This ship will not sell for the asking price.

Fuel

Ship fuel is cheaper than automobile fuel for a few reasons. There are no road taxes on ship fuel of course and also it is different fuel. Ships main engines usually run on IFO180 or IFO380. Generator engines tend to be more finicky and commonly require diesel (MDO), which is still cheaper than automotive diesel. IFO 180 and 380 costs much less than MDO, usually about half the price. Ships consume a lot of fuel. So fuel cost is a major concern. I have some suggestions. If I were a co-owner of a ship I would be willing to invest a little more in the ship to increase fuel efficiency, and thus lower operating costs. There are many things that can be done to increase fuel efficiency. I would start with hull resistance. There is a new silicone-based paint from International Paints that when applied to the hull reduces amount of resistance in the water sufficiently to result in a 3 to 5% decrease in fuel consumption. A similar coating for the propellers also has been proven to increase fuel efficiency.
In addition to hull and prop coatings, there is an even more promising way to achieve dramatic fuel savings.

There is a company called Kiteship that has developed and produces kites for racing sailboats. These sailing kites do not require a mast. The kites fly high above the vessel, attached by cable and controlled from the vessel. Dave Culp of Kiteship has done a technical feasibility study on fitting a very large kite onto a conventional cruise ship. This would dramatically reduce fuel consumption. It would convert a fuel guzzler to a "green machine." This is tantamount to converting a powerboat into a sail boat. The design of a cruise ship limits the amount of sail that a conventional ship can safely accommodate. A cruise ship lacks the ballast of a sail boat. If used in addition to the main engine(s) the kite will increase fuel efficiency. If the kite is used to pull the ship with the main engines shut down the ship's speed will be reduced substantially. However, in this case, not only would the ship save IFO (main engine fuel) but also save MDO (generator engine fuel). If the kite were pulling the ship unassisted by the ship's engines, then the propellers could be used to propel the ship's generators without firing up the diesel generator engines. Even if the ship were traveling very slowly in the water, the propellers would turn in reverse if freed from the main engines. This is a very simple and easy task for the ship's engineer to accomplish. In other words, the ship can be pulled by the kite, and that motion will push the ship's propellers providing power to produce electricity and power the air-conditioning without using any fuel. The trade-off is a loss of speed and also some tacking is required, further reducing actual speed. What's the rush? Why not go for maximum fuel savings? The salient point is that a high flying large kite can pull a cruise ship. If I were a co-owner of a cruise ship I would hope to find like minded co-owners who would be receptive to using such state-of-the-art technologies to save fuel.

There are hundreds of cruise ships on the market but I will just mention one more here. This cruise ship has RO/RO (Roll-On, Roll-Off) capability. This would be very convenient for live aboard owners who want to bring their "toys" with them. The garage deck will accommodate 6 to 8 trucks, or 60 to 80 cars. That converts to a lot of co-owner toys such as motorhomes, travel trailers, campers, cabin cruisers, ski boats, jet skis, sailboats, houseboats, bass boats, motorcycles, ATVs, cars, and trucks.

Adult Acne Cases Treatments
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Milos_Pesic]Milos Pesic

Adult acne and teenage acne are similar in many ways, but they are different in significant ways as well. Mild teenage acne can usually be treated successfully with over-the-counter acne-fighting topical medications. They work well, but most of them have a drying effect. This drying effect isn't a problem for teenage skin but for adult skin, it IS a problem.

If adult acne strikes, it is the best policy to see a dermatologist rather than treating it yourself. Dermatologists have a whole arsenal of adult acne-fighting tools at their disposal. They have topic medications that they can prescribe that will clear the acne but not dry the skin. They also have oral medications that can help to clear adult acne. It's important to note that the medications needed to clear up adult acne are usually much stronger than the products that are effective for fighting teenage acne.

Usually a "twentysomething" will be shocked to see acne on their faces. After all, they survived the teenage years without suffering from acne, unlike most of their friends. They really shouldn't be all that surprised, though. Acne will affect about 95% of the population who are between the ages of 12 and 25. The prime age for getting acne isn't over until you are on the shady side of your 20s - and even then, it can crop up from time to time.

One of the main culprits of acne is hormonal imbalance. During problematic menstrual cycles, hormones are in disarray and acne is certainly a good possibility. Likewise, hormones are unstable during pregnancy and when starting or stopping birth control pills. During any of these situations, acne is likely to develop. The good news is that once the hormones are again in balance, the acne will simply disappear.

Avoid This Food To Clear Up Acne Quickly
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sean_Bower]Sean Bower

Acne affects about 85 percent of the population at some time in their life and is the most common skin disease treated by dermatologists. Most teens get the type of acne called acne vulgaris, which can appear on the face, neck, shoulders, back and chest.

After many years of suffering from acne I found this truth out. Some food causes acne and some prevent acne. Let me share with you the number one food that I found that caused acne.

It took me many years to find out this and apply it to my life so that I would no longer suffer from acne. It wasn't fun having acne and I'm sure you understand.

So what food causes the worst acne?

Processed Grain and Sugar is the culprit!

Grain and Sugar is a common ingredient in modern food. It is found in many of the foods we all eat today like biscuit, donuts, sugary foods, and pizza.

Eliminate processed grain and sugar from your diet and prevent acne.

But why does grain and sugar cause acne?

It causes hormonal imbalance that leads to serious inflammation and results in acne. Grain is actually the cause of your worst acne. You will feel like your acne is going away once you stop eating grain. You can find out if foods contain it by checking the ingredient section.

I personally experienced an amazing clear up after stop eating processed grain and sugar. I suggest you read the ingredient section of the foods to eat to check because all foods nowadays have these labeling.

If you stop eating processed grain and sugar today (white bread, candy, pizza, donut, etc) I guaranteed your acne will start to fade.

Useful Tips to Reduce Acne Naturally
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Dulisse]Mark Dulisse

Most of us have had acne at some point in our lives. Although you can use various lotions or creams to combat acne, following these natural tips reduces the occurrence of acne.

Keep your face clean to avoid acne, but excessive washing of your face could dry your skin, leading to or increasing acne. Wash your face gently, as scrubbing opens the acne lesions and causes further spread.

Avoid picking or popping acne.

Use water-based products on your skin to avoid clogging of pores, instead of oil-based cosmetics.

Acne breakouts reflect your stress level. Try keeping your body and mind relaxed by doing meditation or yoga. Low stress levels allow better movement of oxygen within the body, and
your face remains clearer with less acne.

Certain medications for other health problems cause acne. Review your medicines with your doctor to reduce acne outbreaks.

Eat a healthy diet of vegetables and fruit which include sufficient fiber. Avoid iodized and sugary foods as these often cause acne.

Drink sufficient water to clean your system and wash out toxins. Insufficient water levels in the body hamper excretion of waste products. These can erupt as acne.

Wear loose clothing. Tight clothes accumulate sweat and block skin pores, increasing acne on your back and body.

Herbal medicines may produce positive results for acne as they clean your body inside and outside. They also clean your system of different toxins.

If you struggle with acne, Chris Gibson's Acne Free in 3 Days is an excellent read on the total treatment and prevention for acne.

Tips to Effective Acne Body Treatment
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Barry_Collins]Barry Collins

If you are like some other people,I know what you are probably thinking right now. "I have tried so many stuffs that promised to work but they were all junks."

If that is your thought, then you are the exact reason why I am writing this article on effective acne body treatment. Sure, there are lots of information and tips on acne and you may have tried some acne treatment or medication that did not work.

You must know that acne can be compared to dieting. You need to invest a lot of willpower, time and commitment.The reason why not all acne treatment products produce desired results for everyone is because there are different types of skin and different types of acne conditions. The acne cure is the one that works for you and what works for you might not work for somebody else.

So, the first step is to find out your own type of acne(Is it Acne vulgaris or Acne rosacea)? You should also try and stick to some general forms of acne body treatment. These natural remedies for acne that are general include:

Stress Reduction-Try and reduce stress because it has been discovered that stress triggers acne outbreaks.

Exercise-Physical exercise helps boost the immune system which can help in fighting acne outbreaks.

Fruits- Taking a lot of fruits and vegetables has also been proved to aid effective acne body treatment. Also try to drink a lot of water. The amount should be at least eleven 8 ounce glasses. Water flushes your system which includes your skin. Also visit other acne forums to see what people are saying. The fact is that the solution is out there, simply reach out for it.

Acne Cure Books
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_Paul]Robert Paul

There are dozens of books about curing acne, some of which are physical books that you can find on amazon, others are electronic books (ebooks) that you can download from websites.

The books I've read have varied in quality, and some of the worst were physical books where they recommend a special cleansing routine involving acids and ice....one of which is called "The Acne Cure".

Other books, mostly ebooks, have advocated natural methods to clearing acne, and most famous of which is "Acne Free in 3 Days", which is a simple 3 day cleansing method and worth trying out.

Dr. Perricone has a decent acne book, which although slightly out of date, does offer valuable information regarding diet. He seems to think that inflammation in the body is the cause of acne, and he probably isn't far wrong. His book is called "The Acne Prescription".

Mike Walden, author of "Acne No More" offers a very detailed holistic acne program which is very comprehensive. This book is tailored for people who have severe acne and nothing else has worked for them.

One of the newest books is "Mr X Acne Says: You Can Cure Your Acne". The book centres around inflammation, but offers more up-to-date information regarding this than Dr Perricone's Acne Prescription.

These are some of the better books on clearing acne on the market and all of them are worth buying and trying their system. If one doesn't work for you, move onto the next and you'll definitely end up with clear skin.

Is Acne Affecting Your Life?

2008-11-06T07:58:00.001-08:00

Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a condition that affects the skin as a result of blockages in hair follicles. Acne is commonly referred to as zits and pimples. It is mostly seen in teenagers, affecting more than 85%, and can continue to affect an individual for the span of his/her entire adulthood (but more commonly, acne diminishes by the time one reaches his/her early twenties).

In most cases, acne affects the face and neck areas, however, acne can occur anywhere on the skin's surface. The most typical forms of acne are inflammatory papules, comedones, nodules and pustules. Large nodules can be identified as nodulocystic - symptoms of a condition called Cystic acne. Acne can affect anyone and for a variety of reasons. Hormones, genetics, and cleanliness may all be possible causes. In this severe form, scarring is common. Such scars include ice pick scars, box car scars, hypertrophic scars and rolling scars.

Aside from physical pain, acne can affect one psychologically. It may diminish one's self esteem and can feel like a restraint while among other people in social scenarios. To avoid this, early treatment is highly recommended. This will also lower the possibility of permanent acne scarring.

Treatments for acne are widely available online and in stores and come in various forms. Some methods are more effective than others, but ultimately it depends on the individual and the severity of the condition. Those who suffer from acne scarring are limited in their treatment options, however, there are paths one can take to fade acne scars.

Acne Skincare - How to Get Rid of Acne Fast
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jennifer_Connolly]Jennifer Connolly

Do you want to know how to get rid of acne fast? Believe it or not, something as simple as making a few easy changes to your daily skincare routine might be the answer.

As strange as it sounds, many people wash their faces incorrectly. But your skincare regime should be specific to both your particular skin type, and any skin problems you have, like acne. If you suffer from acne breakouts, following this simple, daily routine is the first step to having clearer skin.

1. Use a Cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide

One of the major causes of acne is bacteria. So your first step is to gently wash with a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide, an ingredient that kills bacteria.

Benzoyl peroxide can cause irritation, especially when you first start using it. So use a product that contains only 2.5% or 5% or benzoyl peroxide. Many users find that, over time, a lower percentage is just as effective as using a higher dose, and without the skin irritation.

Don't scrub at your skin. Scrubbing won't get your face any cleaner. Instead, it could aggravate your acne, making it even worse.

2. Use a Glycolic Acid Gel or Cream

After gently patting your skin dry, apply a non-comedogenic lotion, cream or gel that contains about 8% glycolic acid to your face. Glycolic acid will help prevent clogged pores, another major cause of acne. It can also help get rid of any dark, discolored spots left on your face by previous acne breakouts.

3. Spot Treat Blemishes and Breakouts

Use a product that contains 5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide to spot treat current breakouts. This will give more potent treatment to your current, problem areas, while saving the rest of your face from possible irritation.

4. Finish Up with an Oil-Free Moisturizer that contains sunblock

Most people who have acne probably also have oily skin. Oily skin can block pores and cause breakouts. Another cause of blocked pores could actually be the moisturizer you are using. Look for moisturizers that are noncomedogenic, oil-free, or water based. Also, if you are using the glycolic acid treatment, it is important that you choose a moisturizer with some SPF, as the glycolic acid makes your skin more sensitive to the sun.

If your skin is very oily in some places (like your forehead, nose and chin) you might not have to apply moisturizer to those areas at all. Instead, apply moisturizer to the dry areas, like your jaw and cheeks.

If you want to get rid of your acne fast, following this skincare routine twice a day (morning and evening) is the first step to having clearer, acne free skin.

For some acne sufferers, benzoyl peroxide and glycolic acid can be too harsh. If you are looking for natural ways to combat your acne and you have sensitive skin, [http://hubpages.com/hub/5-Natural-Acne-Remedies]natural acne remedies are especially helpful.

Home Treatment For Acne - Speed Up Acne Cure at Home
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alice_Morgan]Alice Morgan

There are several prescription treatments for acne that you can easily get over the counter. However, these treatments would, more often that not, contain chemicals that can be very harmful on your skin. Thus, it would be so much better to go for home treatment for acne instead. Fortunately, there are a number of methods that are popularly used these days. Below are some of the things that you yourself can try, if you are affected with the condition of acne as well.

The first is to apply essential oils. The popular choices for essential oils include tea tree oil, clove oil, lavender oil, bergamot oil, rosewood oil, and so many more. You have to remember that essential oils are quite strong, so you would have to dilute them accordingly. If you have extremely sensitive skin, you can choose to use grapeseed oil in diluting whatever essential oil you are using. Also, you should be very careful when diluting tea tree oil. The mixture should contain 95% water and 5% tea tree oil. Yes, this type of essential oil is that strong. You should apply the essential oil onto your face before you go to bed in the evening. Rinsing should be done in the morning, with pure hypoallergenic soap, like Ivory.

The second tip is to get as much sunlight as possible. If you are not taking medication that has side effects related to exposure to sunlight, then by all means, go out and enjoy the sun. The sun actually has properties that can effectively kill bacteria that cause acne. The sun can also dry up sebum oil, which is responsible for the production of acne. What's more, this is one home treatment that would not cost you anything at all!

Thirdly, you should remember the fact that acne actually starts inside of your body. Acne may manifest itself on your skin, but the source of dirt is inside your own body. Thus, you should drink a lot of water, to help your system detoxify accordingly. Fruits and vegetables are also in order here. Since we are on the subject of diet, it is also imperative that you avoid processed foods. Just stick to natural food items, such as fruits and vegetables. Make sure to take them in fresh as well.

If you want more information on home treatment for acne, do not hesitate to consult your dermatologist. He or she would be glad to shed light on the topic for you.

Treating acne scar can be simple and fuss free, if you take the necessary steps and precautions. You should first and foremost look for [http://www.acnescarnaturaltreatment.org]acne scar natural treatment that is suitable for your skin condition and skin type.

Infantile Acne

Infantile Acne
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=P._Banas]P. Banas

As a dad, you need to worry about your kid's sensitive skin, especially if it is sunny where you live. Applying sunscreen is a solution, but far easier said than done when you are dealing with a restless toddler.

Infantile acne is a term used for the acne that affects toddlers between the age of three and 12 months. On rare occasions, infantile acne may persist in toddlers until the age of three. This type of acne is slightly more severe than baby acne that affects toddlers immediately after birth. Infantile acne usually results from hormonal changes during the birth of the toddler.

Toddlers affected with infantile acne generally have yellow papules on their face. They may also have blackheads, whiteheads and pustules.

Normally infantile acne is self-corrective and is remedied within a few months of its eruption. However, some times the acne can be severe enough to require treatment. It is worthwhile to note that in some cases toddlers with infantile acne may develop acne again in their teens.

Following are some cases when it is advisable to provide treatment for infantile acne:

• When infantile acne continues for more than a few weeks in your toddler

• When infantile acne develops after the ages of two or three

• When there is a family history of infantile acne

General Treatment:

• Mild acne can be cured by gentle cleansing of the affected area followed by application of topical agents such as benzoyl peroxide

• Severe acne can be treated by using antibiotics and isotretinoin or any other therapy as prescribed by your doctor

Acne Treatment - Can Changing Your Diet Get Rid of Acne?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Raja_S_Sekharan]Raja S Sekharan

The most frequent question that pops up in the minds of anyone who has had acne is "does my diet cause it?". Recent scientific research suggests that acne can indeed by caused and worsened by eating the acne inducing food.

The most common notion about diet is that junk food or oily food causes it. So we avoid food items like Pizza, French fries and so on. Researchers have found that these food items do not affect acne at all. In fact, junk food was found to have the least tendency to cause acne.

Which Food Items Do Cause Acne?

The real food items that cause acne are the ones that cause a rapid increase in your blood sugar. These food items are generally known as high GI foods. Anything that is high in carbohydrates such as rice, bread and some sugar based confectioneries are examples of such food items. Researches say that acne can be reduced by up to 50% by reducing or eliminating your intake of such food items whenever possible. However not everyone's acne is caused by diet factors. Acne in some is caused by hormonal factors, particularly in women.

Acne can sometimes be caused and aggravated by certain types of cosmetics. It is not uncommon to see acne caused by certain types of make up. Some acne creams even irritate the skin and end up doing more damage than good if used by the wrong person. Others have acne because of hereditary causes. The only way to treat acne in all of them is by following the treatment plan described in the Acne Book. The book describes a step by step procedure that is guaranteed to clear acne.

Acne Body Wash

Acne Body Wash
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=George_Knoechel]George Knoechel

For many, the problems of acne are all too real. Unfortunately, acne not only develops on your face now and then, but sometimes it spreads all over your body as well. I have even heard of more than one case of acne spreading on to the genital area. Others report persistent problems with acne on the feet, legs, and other areas. That is the bad news but for many there is really good news as well. That good news comes in the form of two words: Acne Body Wash.

The problem with acne body washes is that they come in so many different sizes, shapes, flavors, smells and shapes. Yes, there are so many different types of acne washes to consider. Let me try and make it a little easier on you.

The majority of acne body washes employ one of two select ingredients; benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid. The remaining ingredients are not anywhere as important. My preference and I believe it is on the side of prevailing research is to go with acne body washes that consist of salicylic acid. Just a caveat: the only exception to this rule is for those with predominant facial acne issues as they would be better off going with an acne body wash that has benzyl peroxide.

In light of what was mentioned I recommend the following: Using a thorough acne treatment that includes a benzyl peroxide acne facial wash, and an acne body wash that includes salicylic acid. This should go a long way in assisting you with acne reduction.

Back Acne Treatment
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=David_Smiths]David Smiths

So you're looking for treatments for back acne (sometimes known as bacne). Well at least you've made a start, you've started looking for treatments on the Internet, rather than going to your local doctors and getting their latest acne creams. The best way to treat any kind of acne in my opinion is by using natural home-made remedies. But unlike treating acne on your face, you can treat back acne a little bit differently; the skin on your back is thicker than on your face, so irritating back acne isn't as bigger problem as irritating acne on your face or neck.

How do you treat back acne?

Well you treat it like you would with acne on your face, only you can be more aggressive with your treatments. You can use over a 5% peroxide cream on your back, unlike your face, but it's recommended you don't use one that is over 7%. The key to treating back acne is consistently. Find a method that you know can help improve your back acne, then stick with it until you see an improvement in your back acne. If it's a great improvement then stick with this method, until your completely free of back acne. Personally I find the best natural solution to use for back acne, is getting someone to massage you with potatoes! I know that sounds completely crazy but hear me out, potatoes have been proven to help acne, it helps break down bacteria of acne, and the properties of the potato give your skin a more of a healthy look, as well as acting as an exfoiliater.

Acne Hormones - The Real Cause of Acne?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=David_Rambai]David Rambai

Are hormones the real cause of acne? Or this a myth? Find out the truth in this article...

Common causes of acne are excess sebum, bacteria on the skin, and hormones that are out of balance. But which is the real cause of acne? The truth is that all three are part of the development of acne but only one is at the root of the problem - acne hormones.

The sequence of the causes and effects of acne goes like this: "inflammatory hormones" are produced from external factors like food and stress. These inflammatory hormones cause negative effects in the body and lead to "cellular inflammation".

Cellular inflammation builds up and if genetically predisposed, can cause the inflammation of the hair follicle and sebum glands. This results in excess sebum production. The bacteria on the skin which everyone has mixes with the excess sebum, and an explosion of inflammation results. This is called acne.

So internally, acne starts off as hormonal inflammation. One type of acne hormone is called prostaglandin series 2, and is produced as a reaction to "inflammatory foods" like fats and oils. The reason this hormone doesn't cause acne in everyone is that not everyone is predisposed to getting acne from inflammation. Some people put on weight or get some other body effect.

In order to successfully treat acne reducing the amount of acne hormones like prostaglandin series 2 is necessary, as it stops the sequence of biological events that happen inside your body that lead to acne breakouts.

Diet For Acne - Can Your Diet Really Cure Your Acne?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Robert_Paul]Robert Paul

There is a lot of information and myths spread around about acne. One of them is that diet has nothing to do with acne. This is a lie. Your acne is caused by food, and food can cure it too. Read on to find out how...

According to the latest scientific findings changes in diet are being found to have drastic effects on acne. Simple changes to what a person eats is evidently uniformly clearing up acne even in severe cases of the condition.

This means that you can cure your acne by learning the truth about acne and diet, and by making some changes yourself. Think you can do it?

Anyone can. For instance, one of the main foods being found to cause acne is FATTY FOODS. Fatty foods cause inflamed, cystic acne. You must avoid fatty foods in order to prevent acne and clear up existing acne. Other anti-acne dietary guidelines should be followed, but by simply avoiding fatty foods you can make a big difference in reducing your acne in the next few days...

So why does fatty food cause acne? The simple answer is that they mess up your hormonal balance, down to a cellular level. Mess up your hormones too much, and chronic acne occurs, and it becomes almost impossible to cure acne without dealing with this hormonal factor.

Other acne treatments may help, but diet for acne is easily the most effective method of clearing up your acne problem. More information about diet for acne can be found at my [http://mrxacne-program.blogspot.com]website for curing acne here.

Why You Will Never Achieve Long-Lasting Acne Free Skin With The 'External' Acne Treatments Today

2008-10-14T10:01:00.000-07:00

Most of the acne treatments out there just don’t have what it takes to get rid of acne.

This is simply because most (or shall I say all) of the acne treatments out there are doing, is just masking the symptoms of acne. And doing absolutely nothing to stop the real cause of acne. Therefore, once you stop using acne treatment, acne will come back again and again every time you stop using it.

This is why acne sufferers continue buy acne treatments month after month (year after year).

And in some cases, most acne treatments will make your acne conditions worse. This is because some acne treatments contains harsh chemical that’s not good for your skin, causing it to irritate, itch, peel, and skin dryness.

If you really want to get rid of your acne and achieve a long-term acne free skin. You have to correct the very root problem that is causing acne. You need an internal acne treatment and not the external acne treatments you see today.

You should know that acne is just an external feedback to a much larger problem happening on the inside of your body, and not your skin itself.

So you really need to stop looking at your skin as the problem because acne has nothing to do with your skin and everything to do with what’s happening on the inside of your internal system.

Fake Acne Myths
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dan_Adlam]Dan Adlam

Chocolate doesn't cause acne. Sugar doesn't cause acne. Junk food doesn't cause acne. You've heard these statements before, typically said by people who never experienced acne in their lifetime. These quotes are very misleading, because it tells acne sufferers that eating these types of foods is totally safe for their acne. If you went to the supermarket and ate a gallon of candy, as an acne sufferer would you truly believe you will not get acne from it? Unfortunately, eating these types of foods do cause acne, whether you like it or not.

Although it hasn't been scientifically proven, sugars and greasy foods have been known to cause acne. No, they aren't a direct cause of acne, but eating these types of foods often lead to the formation of acne. These foods are often very difficult on the liver to breakdown, and it often ends up on the face.

Greasy foods cause the skin to "sweat" oil. If you think about it, this isn't much of a problem, unless you're an acne sufferer. When grease mixes with dead skin cells, a very sticky substance is formed. This leads to the formation of a clogged pore. Once bacteria infect the clogged pore and multiply, your acne will become visible.

By avoiding these types of foods, you can definitely minimize the amount of acne you get on the face. Stick with non-reprocessed foods, and keep junk food to a minimum. It's not necessary to ban these foods from your diet, but eating them every single day definitely isn't doing your body a favor.

Three General Types of Acne

2008-10-10T08:17:00.000-07:00

Three General Types of Acne
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Yun_Ye]Yun Ye

Just as there are different types of acne lesions, there are also different types of acne. Although there are a number of rare forms of acne, most experts divide acne into three main types: comedonal acne, acne vulgaris, and cystic acne.

The first type, comedonal acne, consists of whiteheads and black-heads alone, without the presence of other acne lesions. Therefore, comedonal acne is the mildest form of acne. However, since closed comedones often burst and become inflamed, it is not uncommon for people with comedonal acne eventually to develop papules and pustules.

When people have a mix of comedones, papules, and pustules, they have acne vulgaris, or common acne. A man who suffered from acne vulgaris recalls: "I had them all. I had blackheads on my nose. I had whiteheads on my forehead. I had bumpy red pimples and big pus pimples on my chin, neck, back, and shoulders."10

Acne vulgaris is the most common form of acne, affecting approximately 90 percent of all people with acne. Acne vulgaris can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the number of acne lesions a person has and how severely the lesions are inflamed.

The third type of acne, cystic acne, is the most severe form of acne. The presence of comedones, papules, pustules, and numerous acne cysts characterize cystic acne. Because cysts are caused by severe inflammation and infection, cystic acne can be quite painful.

Making matters worse, if cystic acne is left untreated, the severe inflammation and infection that cause cystic acne can damage surrounding tissues. This frequently leaves the skin of people with cystic acne permanently scarred. A patient explains: "You can see the scars where I had cysts today. They look like little craters. You can see them on my neck and on my back. I've got a little bit of evidence on my face too. Wherever you see a crater, that's where I had a cyst."

Panic Attack Information Including Allergies
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nick_Bolton]Nick Bolton

Panic Attack Information tells us that panic attack symptoms and Allergy Symptoms can be quite similar and while the treatment may differ somewhat in the end the solution lies in self knowledge.

When it hits, it may seem like nothing can stop the terror or dread of losing control brought on by a panic attack. There is an urgent need to find ways of preventing and helping sufferers of all kinds of panic attacks, including allergy panic attacks and there are currently many tests being carried out in our Universities and Hospitals.

Asthma attacks and panic attacks are quite similar. Both have similar symptoms. Often, people equate allergies with sneezing, congestion and itchy eyes caused by pollen and in fact this may often be the case but allergy attacks can have more serious symptoms. The sufferer feels unwell and may be prone to nausea, headache, dizziness, breathlessness etc.

Allergy panic attacks can be self perpetuating as sufferers often anxiously await the next attack and their weakened mental state facilitates such an occurrence.

The only solution to the problem is to learn everything you can about the problem. Read as many articles as possible about it and get to know how to cope.

Now thankfully allergy panic attacks and other anxiety disorders can be brought under control by addressing the problem directly and eliminating it at its roots. There are many products on the internet that claim to be able to do just that and rid people permanently of their anxieties, as well as phobias, and allergy panic attacks, and they are certainly worth trying out. Panic Attack Information is readily available. Procrastination is the thief of time. If you are a sufferer then grasp the nettle now and address the evil that is blighting your life. Take that one small step and open the door to a healthier and happier life.

Why suffer from anxiety or panic attacks when help is so close at hand http://www.whypanic.info

1 banana
1-teaspoon of lecithin granules
1-teaspoon of any type of bran, but oat bran is best
1 cup or more 50:50 rice dream: almond milk
Now add strawberries one by one with the blender on until you get the consistency you like, but start with about 10 of them
Now in a coffee grinder, grind the following and add them to the blended strawberry mix:
1-teaspoon flax seeds
1 or 2 teaspoon sunflower seeds
1-teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon of powdered vitamin C
This shake has a high concentration of fiber. Betty Kamen, Ph. D., talks about how fiber helps skin diseases,

"Treatment of any skin condition is always more effective when the intestinal tract is free of disease-producing fungi. Vegetable fiber is recommended to reduce yeast colonies between your intestinal villi - the threadlike projections covering the surface of the mucous membranes lining your small intestine…Fiber also helps to avoid yeast cells from invading your lymph tract and circulating blood. This is effective in clearing seborrheic eczema (the kind that causes excessive discharge from the sebaceous glands, forming greasy scales and cheesy plugs) and other skin conditions."

Drink your shake slowly. Do not drink it like water. The best way to drink it is to move the mixture around in your mouth so saliva is mixed with the shake ingredients. Drinking a shake too fast can lead to excess gas to form in the stomach, which can cause some discomfort.

Once your shake is made, drink it within a five minutes, since the contents start to oxidize and breakdown. This oxidation process reduces the nutritional value of this shake.

Since the shake ingredients will start to decay quickly as it has air mixed in from the blending process, fill a thermos to the top, you can use the shake for later. By adding vitamin C powder, the shake will last longer before losing it strength and power.

Use a health shake to help you get rid of acne. Also, use other methods, with a health shake, to help you eliminate acne.

Some of these products are meant to rinse your skin with one or more times a day after the regular wash and then to be flushed away. Others are meant to remain on your skin until the next regular wash.

If your skin is heavily clogged by comedones or the acne process has produced heavy amounts of fatty deposits on your skin you can occasionally use stronger rinsing media, called acne peels or acne shrubs. With these media you can dissolve and shrub away the stuff clogging the pores, and also take away excessive horny layers and hard fatty deposits that make your skin surface irregular. These media contain strong dissolving substances and mineral powders with an abrasive effect, and should be used cautiously so that you do not hurt your skin.

- Stimulating the immune system to fight bacteria and to clear out impurities in the skin tissues.
- Stimulating your skin to heal.
- Giving your skin building nutrients necessary to heal.

NATURAL INGREDIENTS USED IN ACNE TREATMENT PRODUCTS

In modern acne treatment drugs natural ingredients are extensively used because many of these often give less side effects than syntetic pharmacological substances.

- Aloe Vera extract, Viola tricolor extract and Rose hip oil, are often used in oral and topical products to reduce inflammation and to stimulate healing.

- Azelaic acid: The substance is a carboxylic acid found in some corn species and also produced by yeasts normally found on the skin. This substance stimulates the division and renewing of cells in the follicles and the skin. Thereby it causes the comedones to be pushed out. It also works against the bacteria infecting the skin by acne and reduces inflammation. It can however produce skin irritation in strong solutions. It is used in topical products.

- Bioflavonoids: These are antioxidant substances produced by plants that protect against tissue damage. Many of these give fruits or other plant parts bright colors. Bioflavonoids are often included in oral acne treatment drugs to counteract tissue damage and ease healing.

- Plant oils: Evening primrose oil, olive oil, flax seed oil, borage oil, soy oil and wheat germ oil are used in oral and topical products for several purposes. They contain essential fatty acids and vitamins that stimulate healing. The oils can also help to dissolve the comedones. They are also used to give topical products the right consistency.

- Lecithine: Lecithine is a blending of phospholipids. These phsopholipids are very important building blocks of the cells in the body and also contain smaller elements used as effector tools and hormons in many processes. Lecithine is used in oral products to stimulate rinsing processes in the skin and to stimulate skin reduilding after damage.

- Salicylic acid: This substance is an antibacterial effector found widespread in the nature. It is used in topical products to dissolve comedones in the pores and to help fight bacteria. Salicylic acid is perhaps the most frequently used ingredient in topical acne products.

- Sulphur: Sulphur is used in topical cleansing products to dissolve comedones, dry up the skin and to rub away irregularities. It can sometimes cause too much peeling and can irritate the skin.

- Vitamins and minerals: Both oral and topical acne treatment drugs often contain vitamins, vitamin-like susbstances or minerals, as vitamin A, C, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D, E, folic acid, beta-carotene, copper, zink and selenium. These substances are working tools in the body, and they may effectivize cleaning processes, the immune defence and the regeneration from damages exerted by acne. In addition many of these substances are anti-oxidants that protect the skin against damages. Vitamin E and A also help to reduce inflammation. Zinc seems to be the most effective mineral for acne treatment.

PHARMACOLOGICAL SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS USED IN ACNE TREATMENT PRODUCTS

Pharmacologically synthetic substances are traditionally used in acne medicines. These are very effective, but carry a heavier risk for side effects. Drugs containing these substances are often bound to prescription.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics are used both in topical and oral products to fight the infectious element of acne. Topical antibiotcs have fewer side effects than oral ones. Antibiotics used against acne are tetracycline variants, erythromycin, clindamycin, stivamycin, sulfacetamide and trimethaprim.

Bezoyl peroxide: The substance is mostly used in topical acne products to kill bacteria and dissolve comedones. Benzoyl peroxide often produce dryness and irritation in the skin. These side effects may however go away after some times use.

Resorcinol: Resorcinol is used in topical products to kill bacteria and to dissolve comedones and other deposits. It is also effective against itching. It can cause too much peeling and can irritate the skin.

Vitamin-A-like compunds (retinoids) - Tretinoin, tazarotene, adapalene and others: These stimulate the cells in the outer skin layer and in the lining of the pores to divide. This cell proliferation has the effect of pushing out the comedones clogging the pores. They may also stimulate healing of damages caused by acne and of other types of skin damage. The substances can however themselves cause side effects like itching, burning, redness, scaling and thin skin if not used with caution.

Tea tree oil is cheaper than most medications and has helped thousands of acne sufferers to get rid of their acne. Tea tree oil is very effective and has natural anti-bacterial properties that helps to kill the bacteria that infects the acne area.

My Acne Clearing Secret

My Acne Clearing Secret
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jack_Venta]Jack Venta

In this article you're going to learn the secret to clearing your acne, 100% naturally and effectively.

I used to suffer from terrible acne for over a decade. I had tried hundreds of different acne treatments, from antibiotics, accutane and over-the-counters, to 3 step cleanser systems, 3 day fasts on apples and drinking nothing but lemon water...

And none of these worked to clear my acne!

I can only sympathize with those that have acne and have tried 'everything'. It's frustrating and upsetting. But there is a way to clear acne naturally, and this is how I cleared my acne...

What I discovered about acne and how to clear it is this. Food is a direct cause of acne. Some foods cause acne and some help fight against acne. This is because some foods cause something called hormonal inflammation, and this is what causes acne in every case.

So what food causes the worst acne?

In my experience, and in many other acne sufferers experience too, it is vegetable oil that causes acne. This is the worst food to eat if you want clear skin and don't currently have it.

Vegetable oil is found in many foods, but it is simple to avoid. Some cooking oils are vegetable oils, and junk food usually contains it. To find out where you are eating this acne causing food you need to check the ingredients of the food you eat, and cut out any that has vegetable oil in it.

If you do this you will see a DRAMATIC difference in your acne in just a few days. For more information on how to clear your acne [http://acnesolved.blogspot.com/ ]visit my site now.

Acne Skin Care For Men - Basically a Cleansing Process

2008-10-06T06:04:00.000-07:00

Acne skin care for men is a process that should actually start before acne appears. It is must be a proactive process and not reactive. Acne skin care overall should be the awareness of preventive actions to such skin conditions. Therefore skin care for acne involves day to day skin caring and maintenance with sufficient discipline.

Men's acne skin care is similar to that of women - it starts with cleansing. Face washing and cleansing during the mornings are the basic way of caring for your skin. But actually, it is not just about cleansing. Besides lukewarm water, you also need a mild, oil free and water soluble cleanser that will keep your face and neck really clean.

Indeed, cleansing is one of the most important acne skin care for men procedures. It takes away the dirt, grease and oil away from your skin; this effectively reduces the occurrence of acne on your skin. Men's skin is oilier than women, and so certainly regular cleansing is a very important part of skin care for acne.

A lot of men experience having acne in many stages in their lives. And if you yourself now have them, do not in any way touch of squeeze your acne as doing so can mean permanent scars. Acne skin care means gentle and careful cleansing of the acne area with the use of an over-the-counter medication and clean cotton pad.

Actually, with the proliferation of many man and anti acne skin care in the market, men who are concerned about their acne, and skin in general, can avail of inexpensive over the counter creams, gels and lotions. However, many of such non-prescription products may not give you the desired effect and so it is best if you can go instead to a licensed skin doctor or dermatologist for the proper acne skin care and treatment advice and recommendation.

Traditional acne product use to have this effect on skin but the newer microdermabrasion ace treatments have a dual exfollation and mild cleansing effect which can scrap away the skin debris with minimal or no skin irritation at all.

Mild exfoliators similar with those used in microdermabrasion are among the effective acne control methods. Daily usage of this method keeps the skin clear of impurities allowing faster healing and preventing new blemishes. Exfoliating particles are combined with classic acne fighting ingredients such as acid salicylic in powerful acne control systems.

Sensitive skin acne sufferers can't really take advantage of microdermabrasion as their skin sensitivity doesn't allow for daily usage. Home microdermabrasion acne treatments are offered in combination with toner and other acne products. It is important to use them together because they complement and balance each other in fighting acne.

The Basics of Acne

The Basics of Acne
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Liz_Lunn]Liz Lunn

What is acne?

Acne blemishes start at comedones. A closed comedone is a whitehead and an open comendone is a blackhead. The comedones are caused when a pore is blocked. It fills with oil and bacteria. As these areas become inflamed and infected, they are known as papules or pustules, better known as pimples or zits. Some blemishes start as nodules, which are lumps deep within the skin. These can be very painful.

What causes acne?

Acne can be triggered by many things, including cosmetics, overwashing and stress. Acne cannot be cured by constantly washing your face. In fact, washing too much will irritate you skin and aggravate your acne. Cosmetics can block pores and trap oil and dirt on your face. Stress causes acne flares in many people. Stress causes hormones to be released that increase sweating and oil production. This is also the reason that many women have acne outbreaks just prior to their period.

Treatment Options

There are many treatment options available for acne.You can buy over-the-counter topical medications (creams and gels). For milder or occasional acne, these usually work very well. For people with more chronic acne, a visit to the dermatologist is probably necessary. There are prescription creams that can prevent acne breakouts and help outbreaks heal faster. Antibiotics and hormone therapy are popular acne treatments. However, you should never pick at or squeeze your pimples. This can aggravate the acne and cause even more blemishes.

Acne can cause emotional as well as physical distress. Pimples and nodules can be painful, but more often the emotional distress has a bigger impact on the individual. Anyone who has acne that bothers them should see a dermatologist to get help with reducing the effects of acne.

2008 Best Acne Treatments

2008-09-24T08:07:00.002-07:00

2008 Best Acne Treatments
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dan_Adlam]Dan Adlam

2008 brings many new advances to the treatment of acne. These advances are noted in acne treatment devices as well as acne creams. In this brief article, you'll learn about what methods are being used to treat acne today.

Acne Devices

Acne devices, such as Zeno and blue light therapy have been gaining popularity among acne sufferers. These devices provide uninhabitable environments for the acne-causing bacteria, killing these bacteria, which in turn destroys the acne. A pimple without bacteria is merely a clogged pore, which can be treated easily with a decent acne cream. These acne devices work best for mild to moderate acne, but the treatment of severe acne is questionable. Since severe acne is rooted deep into the skin, Zeno has been shown to be ineffective towards these types of pimples.

Further research must be done to treat these nasty pimples. However, Zeno catches acne before they are formed, and it also helps treat acne in less than twenty-four hours. Blue light therapy has also helped treat acne by killing off the skin bacteria. The difference between zeno and blue light therapy is, zeno is a spot treatment while blue light therapy is a full-face treatment.

Acne Creams

Acne creams have been steadily improving over time. Since the 1960s, benzoyl peroxide has been the dominant chemical for treating acne. However, this chemical makes the skin appear "bleached," it stains clothes, and it only temporarily treats acne. Proactiv, Acne Free, and many other old acne treatments like to use this product to treat acne. Although benzoyl peroxide still works to treat acne, 2008 brings many new advances. Today, most acne sufferers are leaning towards using natural acne treatments, those that don't contain harsh chemicals that destroy the skin.

'3 Acne Day Free In' or Acne Free in 3 Days - Another Acne Myth

2008-09-24T08:07:00.001-07:00

'3 Acne Day Free In' or Acne Free in 3 Days - Another Acne Myth?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dr._Hanish_Babu,_MD]Dr. Hanish Babu, MD

Is it possible for 3 acne day free in? (Evidently jumbled- it should be 'acne free in 3 days'). During a keyword search for acne, the keyword "3 acne day free in" and acne free in 3 days crops up regularly. At first one thought that this must be some mistake on the part of the search engines. But then search with these keywords was quite revealing. There were a number of web pages on the keyword'3 acne day free in', some with high sales pitch on the instant cure for acne!

As a dermatologist with 25 years of experience in treating acne, it is really perplexing to see such misleading claims that could fool gullible teens. The interesting fact is that such unethical and highly improbable claim is made on web pages by lay persons who have no medical background. Their only qualification to prescribe the '3 acne day free in' cure is that they have suffered from acne, and have discovered a cure for acne which would make your '3 acne day free in' !

This also raises an interesting question: Should non-medical persons without any background of medical education be allowed to prescribe treatment on or off the web? Who will decide whether the patient is suffering from acne vulgaris or some other similar [http://www.best-treatment-for-acne.com/facial-eruptions-mimic-acne.html ]facial eruptions that mimic acne? And what is the guarantee that the prescribed treatment will not adversely affect the patient?

The only acne which could be cured in 3 days (3 acne day free in) is not acne! It could be a simple follicular infection on the beard, called sycosis barbae. Or it could be an allergic reaction to some cosmetic application on the face. Now the interesting fact: yes, these eruption which are not acne, can be cured in 3 days! But not the acne. Control (not cure) of acne could take weeks or months, with chances of getting recurrences depending upon the patients' food habits, stress and hormonal status.

To conclude, acne free in 3 days or '3 acne day free in' is a myth.

My Acne Clearing Secret

2008-09-23T05:46:00.000-07:00

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jack_Venta]Jack Venta

In this article you're going to learn the secret to clearing your acne, 100% naturally and effectively.

I used to suffer from terrible acne for over a decade. I had tried hundreds of different acne treatments, from antibiotics, accutane and over-the-counters, to 3 step cleanser systems, 3 day fasts on apples and drinking nothing but lemon water...

And none of these worked to clear my acne!

I can only sympathize with those that have acne and have tried 'everything'. It's frustrating and upsetting. But there is a way to clear acne naturally, and this is how I cleared my acne...

What I discovered about acne and how to clear it is this. Food is a direct cause of acne. Some foods cause acne and some help fight against acne. This is because some foods cause something called hormonal inflammation, and this is what causes acne in every case.

So what food causes the worst acne?

In my experience, and in many other acne sufferers experience too, it is vegetable oil that causes acne. This is the worst food to eat if you want clear skin and don't currently have it.

Vegetable oil is found in many foods, but it is simple to avoid. Some cooking oils are vegetable oils, and junk food usually contains it. To find out where you are eating this acne causing food you need to check the ingredients of the food you eat, and cut out any that has vegetable oil in it.

If you do this you will see a DRAMATIC difference in your acne in just a few days. For more information on how to clear your acne [http://acnesolved.blogspot.com/ ]visit my site now.

Topical products can actually be better for some individuals because they do not cause any real side effects that ingesting can cause such as stomach problems and drug interactions with other medications that you are taking. The most common types of antibiotics for topical treatments of acne include clindamycin, erythromycin and in some cases tetracycline.

It can be easier then to just take the medication orally. The oral options to treat acne include tetracycline or erythromycin. These are the most common options for oral antibiotics for acne treatment!. These medications can help you to stop the bacteria that is irritating your skin and therefore causing it to be irritated, but this does not, by itself, improve the acne that you have. As soon as the bacterium gets to the pores, again, you still have a problem.

It is necessary to treat acne in several ways, in most people. Usually, it is the combination of factors and treatments that allows you to get the most benefit from acne relief. Antibiotics! like these can and do help with the relief of acne but they do much better when they are combined with other methods. Often, the problem lies in how much oil the skin is absorbing. When this is the case, it is essential that the oil glands are regulated at well or you will just be attracting new bacteria to the pores. If you stop taking your antibiotics and still have the right opportunities for acne to reappear, it can be only a few weeks to even a few days until you see acne forming again.

Acne Treatment: Exfoliating

2008-08-22T09:53:00.000-07:00

There are many things that you can do to help to improve your skin’s condition when it comes to acne treatment. One of them is exfoliation. This is the process of using a non harmful but slightly abrasive product to rub and wash against the skin. Like most other types of acne treatment, it is common for these products to help when worked in conjunction with others. Yet, exfoliating the skin can be one of the best ways to treat acne.

There are several different types of products that you can use for exfoliating. It can be done through a mechanical element such as an abrasive scrub product or a liquid soap which are made for the use of exfoliating. These are the most common types of products used for exfoliating. Exfoliating can also be done chemically by using products such as salicylic acid as well as glycolic acid. These products will help the skin to peel back the top layer of it. It is nothing that you will see happening and in most case you will not feel anything bad. The goal here is to use these products to help remove the top layers of the skin where dead skin cells are. These cells get into the skin through the pores and block them. This blockage along with the over production of oils that happens in the skin can encourage acne. These products can be used as both preventative measures or as a treatment for existing acne.

When you have acne that is already present on your skin, you can use exfoliating products that are designed as treatment products. You should take note though that you do not want to cause pain to your face especially in those sensitive acne areas. Always use the products as directed for the best results and the right reaction on your skin.

In some cases, exfoliation can cause visible flaking of the skin. This is generally normal and should not be anything to alarm you. You may want to purchase moisturizers for your skin that are not oil based to use after the exfoliating process. You may want to consider these because the skin can become quite dried out and irritated. You will find these moisturizers available with the exfoliating products. Look for those that can be used in conjunction with each other for the best results. Exfoliating is a good way to work on healing or preventing acne on your face and throughout the rest of your body. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions, though, to insure the best possible outcome.

Before you can treat your acne, it is important to understand that there are different types of acne. By understanding what type of acne you have, will help you choose the right treatment to control or cure it.

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common types of acne the affects people. This type of acne is commonly found on people that have very oily skin. Vulgaris acne alone comes in three different types. They are known as inflammatory lesions, non inflammatory lesions and secondary lesions.

Comendonal acne is a type of acne that appears without becoming inflamed. Hormones fluctuations, certain facial products or high humidity have a high risk of worsening this type of acne.

There is a certain type of acne that only affects babies. This type of acne is known as infantile acne. Infantile acne usually disappears a few months after the baby is born.

Which Acne Products are the Best?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Paul_Cris]Paul Cris

Acne is a skin problem for many. During the teenage years this skin disorder arises. During teenage years the male sex hormone, androgens increases both in male and female. This increased androgen causes overproduction of keratin and sebum. This keratin and sebum clogs the skin pores. In the clogged skin pores the presence of bacteria creates acne. Acne creates black spots on the skin if not taken care of properly. Even after the teenage years, when acne is no more around, the black spots on the skin remind you about acne.

Around the world numerous companies are producing thousands of acne products. Some of the acne products are effective and some are not. Acne products come in various forms. The types of acne products are listed below…

· Face masks and scrubs

· Cleansers

· Toners

· For acne scars

· Soaps

· Moisturizers

All of the above acne products are not for acne treatment. Some of the acne products are for treatment and others are suitable for acne-affected skin. Acne products are easily available in the market and as well as on the Internet. You can easily order acne products online by paying through credit cards. Before buying acne products, you should be fully aware of the acne products. Otherwise you can end up buying acne products, which don’t suit your skin or your acne type. Acne can be of different types, so it is advised to buy prescribed acne products.

Acne Treatments: Ineffectiveness or Impatience?

2008-03-17T11:19:00.000-07:00

Acne treatments generate billions of dollars every year. People flit from acne treatment to acne treatment in search of something, anything, that might work. I used to be one of those people until I realized that trying a different acne treatment every week doesn’t help combat acne. There are many reasons why an acne treatment, an acne product, or an acne program may seem ineffective, but the truth is, it may not work due to the user’s impatience. An acne treatment comes with instructions for very good reasons. When someone uses an acne treatment more than the product calls for, they may irritate the skin and, as a result, cause more acne to develop. On the flipside, when an acne treatment is not used as often as suggested, it lowers the effectiveness of the medication as well.

So, if you have tried one acne treatment after another, be patient. A legit acne treatment will probably take at least 2 to 3 weeks before you see some type of results. The key to getting the most out of your acne treatment is to use it just enough, don’t overuse it, and give it time- don’t mistake a product’s ineffectiveness with your impatience.
