Natural Remedies - Are they best.

Many Acne sufferers use over the counter or prescribed medication. Many are aware of the ingredients, but are unaware of what they actually are or what they do. Would you put a product that contains an ingredient that mechanics use to clean oil spill off the floor on your face. Maybe you already do.

Many products contain chemicals such as Benzoyl peroxide which have been known to cause irritation and dryness. This can subside over time, but sometimes this is not the case.
Benzoyl has been known to suppress the immune system, and after extensive studies on animals it is believed to increase carcinogenesis.
Glycolic acid is another known irritant used in skin peeling products, it is all very well removing the top layer of skin, but the problem with acne is that it is the lower layers of skin which is where the problem actually is.
After using skin peeling products one can often look like they have a very bad case of sunburn, not very attractive.

Many acne treatments do not have to pass very stringent guidelines according to the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) state that cosmetic companies, products including acne remedies do not have to have pre market approval, with the exception of colour additives and a few prohibited substances. Other than this they are free to produce their cosmetics and in turn sell them to the public for profit.
You will all have a your own views on this, but you should all be aware of the chemicals that may be in your acne treatments.

Dandruff -solve the problem

Dandruff is the excessive shedding of dead skin cells.
It is natural for people to shed dead skin cells, but when this
becomes excessive it causes us problems as it is unsightly and in
turn can affect our confidence.
Sufferers may even resort to never wearing dark clothes, so as to
save them some embarrassment.

Many cases of dandruff are due to an imbalance in our diets, our hair
seems to show any deficiency in our diets, through our hair, another
reasons could be due to certain types of eczema

Dandruff can appear due to a lack of essential fatty acids, or
vitamin B. Also foods that contain a large amount of sugar, and
white bread, can make the condition worse.

There are many products, IE shampoos that can control this
problem, but not all of these work, some can also cause irritation to
the scalp and should be stopped immediately and if after some time
these are not working, try another product, this can be tedious and
disheartening.

Try to brush your hair regularly as this helps to remove and
encourage the shedding of dead skin cells. Do not use greasy
products, IE styling wax as these can increase the severity of the
condition.

General good health and a well balanced nutritional diet, goes a long
way to reducing or even preventing this embarrassing condition.
Eat a diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, less refined
carbohydrates, and eat plenty of Zinc rich foods such as Brown
rice, Chicken,salmon, Wholewheat bread and oatmeal.

Tea Tree Oil has been found to be very successful in the treatment of Dandruff, but again this may not be for everyone.

from a professional dermatologist.
