Acne Treatment without Drugs

Today, people all around the world are seeking natural alternatives to prescription drug formulations and synthetic cosmetic preparations for various skin ailments and general skin health and vitality.
What is acne?

Acne is one of the most common of all skin problems. It affects most teenagers to some degree and even adults. Acne shows up as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and deep painful bumps (nodules) that look like boils. Acne most commonly occurs on the face but can also appear on the neck, back, chest and shoulders. It is estimated that as many as 80% of people between 12 and 25 years of age suffer from acne. While in most people, acne clears up after a few years, many suffer from permanent scarring of the skin.

What causes acne?

During puberty rising hormone levels cause the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin to get bigger. It is activated by male-type hormones found in both males and females. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily complex called sebum which empties onto the skin's surface through the hair follicles.

Acne is a complex condition that depends basically on excess sebum (oil) production that occurs when you are going through hormonal imbalances... (specially during adolescence or, if a woman, during your period...) in conjunction with toxins within your skin, due to the intake of excess protein of poor quality, resulting in either:

a) those toxins within the skin follicles attract moisture and create pressure as if the sebaceous glands where pinched off, resulting in a soft pliable lump (knows as a cyst) within the hair follicle. The cyst is usually not painful or discolored unless it becomes infected by bacteria. Then it may become a deep painful bump (severe nodular cystic acne).

b) plugging of the opening of the hair follicles due to shedding of skin cells from the outer layer of the skin sticking with the sebum, resulting in whiteheads. When whiteheads are exposed to air they form blackheads due to oxidation (think of an apple that you leave on your desk half eaten).

Also, the mixture of oil and cells helps the bacteria, especially P. Acnes, to grow and become virulent. The increased pressure within the clogged follicle causes the wall of the follicle to rupture. As a result, sebum, bacteria and shed skin cells escape into the surrounding tissue, forming papules, pustules and nodules that can be large and painful. This usually heals within 8 weeks. Nodular acne can result in permanent scarring.

Anything that causes excess water retention within your skin can pinch off the sebaceous glands and make you break out sebum where acne bacteria will proliferate, in minutes, specially if you are going through a period of high sebum production. Excess salt and spices are the most common triggers, so if you eat too many potato chips... they contain both.

More on cooked proteins and acne: Heat destroys and/or changes essential nutrients. New harmful complexs are formed in all animal or vegetable foods that are heated in whatever way. Dietary protein is partially damaged in the preparation process (cooking, freezing, etc) Protein molecules interact with dietary carbohydrates, forming new molecules. This process is called "the Maillard reaction", and the same occurs to peptides (amino-acid chains) because of simple oxidation.

In more detail: Digestive enzymes break protein amino acids, only if the targeted part of the protein matches what the enzyme is programmed for. If the linked amino-acids have changed due to heat their is no separation. The un-separated amino-acid chains are transported by the lymph system, at a much lower rate than blood does. And such cargo of Maillard reaction and oxidized peptide products is discharged into the skin so that the lymph can return to the digestive tract and the liver to pick up new cargo of valuable nutrients that it transports for use by the body's organs.

Cooked proteins transform into broken peptides (amino-acid chains) not absorbed into your blood stream but disposed off by your lymphatic system. And end up in the inner layer of your skin attracting moisture and pressing your sebaceous glands to the point of blocking them... and thus pimples.

Procedure to get rid of toxins accumulated within your skin (in the dermis):

1.- Go to a sauna and get into it for 15 minutes (not more not less), then shower. Then back to the sauna for another 15 minutes.. then shower, and then drink clean pure water. You can do this once or twice a month if you do not get addicted to such pleasures... and the clear results for your skin... specially if you also follow the next step.

If a sauna is not feasible steaming your face a few times a week will help a little. Boil some water in a pot on the stove, turn off the heat, cover your head and face with a towel and hang your face over the pot. Take your face away from the heat whenever you need to, and when the steam is gone, rinse your face with cold water. A steam bath or steam shower can also help open up your pores.

2.- Shift your diet, and stick strictly to it for two weeks. Eat loads of fresh fruits and fresh salads including tomato, avocado and virgin olive oil, plus fresh Brazil nuts and 50 grams each day of high quality bio-available proteins in the form of raw fish such as sashimi (fresh fish the Japanese way without the rice) or raw tuna fish (fresh not refrigerated or canned). Click to add avocado & extra virgin olive oil to your shopping cart.

In between meals drink mineral water to help your body flush out toxins. The recommended amount of water you should drink is at least half your bodyweight in ounces of water (a 140lb. individual should drink 70 ounces/day ). After those two weeks try eating a diet high in fiber and raw foods — salads, bran, complex carbohydrates, fresh raw fish, Brazil nuts and lots of mineral water. This will keep your system free of dirty proteins and your digestive tract moving so that your skin is not burdened by wastes your system can't handle. Keep your diet low in fat, sugar, too much salt and spices.

3. Apply GLYCOBALM™ twice a day to a) speed the process of clearing your sebaceous glands of debris. b) place acne bacteria within your skin follicles under control, and c) clear acne marks and repair acne scarring.

How to use GLYCOBALM for acne.

Wash your face with lots of lukewarm water and if necessary use a neutral or acid ph soap (Purpose soap from Johnson & Johnson will do). Pat dry before applying a thin layer of GLYCOBALM on your skin. Gently massage GLYCOBALM into your skin with your fingers. Do not use exfoliation washes, the balm already contains enzymes that get rid of old, worn out and damaged skin cells. If you are currently infected with ACNE: STEAMING your face a few times a week will help. (Boil some water in a pot on the stove, turn off the heat, cover your head and face with a towel and hang your face over the pot. Take your face away from the heat whenever you need to, and when the steam is gone, rinse your face with cold mineral water. Tap water may contain to many irritating complexs.)

GLYCOBALM contains enzymes combined with skin repair complexs. It gently peels off the dead outer layer of the skin and opens the pores for the skin regenerating ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin follicles where it repairs damaged tissues (acne scars and marks) and where GLYCOBALM acts as a natural antibiotic against bacterial infection.

Our recommendation is to apply only a little GLYCOBALM twice a day. If you place too much then the peeling is too much and your feeling of dryness is uncomfortable. Some people experience a tingling or tightness or dry effect during the first two weeks of using the balm and then it subsides. This can be remedy by applying a moisturizer on top of GLYCOBALM after waiting about 15 minutes for it to be absorbed.

During adolescence or if you are suffering recurrent acne break outs only a change in your nutritional habits plus the daily use of a little GLYCOBALM™, will help dissolve dead cells that clog pores, get rid of toxins within your skin for they attract too much moisture and cause the sebaceous glands to be pinched off, place acne bacteria under control, heal inflammation and acne lesions quickly and ultimately have the sebaceous glands function normally.

We are confident you will be surprised with the good results of this procedures... instead of endlessly searching and testing antibacterial products or reducers of your normal sebum production (they only address part of the problem) that just might work against the acne break outs you have been grappling with.

Acne Scar Remedy

The key to skin renewal is a process where (1) the skin is irritated or slightly damaged by exfoliating agents (such as enzymes contained naturally and in a low dose in GLYCOBALM) or mildly damaged by other procedures ("sanding" by dermabrasion or burning by laser). This is followed by (2) a natural rebuilding of the skin that removes imperfections, rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers that tighten skin, and increases the amount of glycosamoinoglycans, the moisture-holding proteins that give skin its firmness. The stronger the exfoliation or skin damage, the stronger is the skin rebuilding action. Unfortunately, strong exfoliation causes strong skin irritation with itching, burning, and pain. And the results of laser resurfacing or dermabrasion depend on the skills of the practician. However, to get good results it is IMPERATIVE skin healing progresses at rapid pace.

GLYCOBALM as the snail's slime it is made off contains enzymes, that get rid of damaged cells, combined with skin regenerating accelerators. When used as a long term skin care routine (2 to 4 months) it may be as good as a short term strong chemical peel or a skilled dermabrasion procedure. The skin regeneration accelerators are special proteins and peptides (amino-acid chains) that signal the body to start reproducing human skin cells as quickly as for the repair of the snail's skin. The ultimate healing is when new "invisible hair" called "lanugo" start coming out of the restored hair follicles where the skin was once damaged. This process can take as long as 4 to 12 months for old scars.

What our customers say: "My acne scars haven't completely disappeared from my back and chest after just one jar and 8 weeks of your BIOSKINEXFOL. But they were so deep I thought nothing would remove them! What I can tell you now is they have reduced in size considerably, and become less “dense”. I just can’t believe my eyes. I’m ordering another jar now. Hopefully I will get even better results!"

BIOSKINFORTE - Natural Acne Treatment Balm
A gentle yet powerful solution for acne breakouts and even stubborn acne cysts that have not been amenable to other treatments

This acne cream yields what no other natural acne product does for recurrent stubborn acne and acne cysts because of the synergistic benefit of combining our biological serum with the most potent botanicals:

a) Inca Inchi Oil the richest vegetable oil in Omega-3 fatty acids. A powerful anti-inflammatory and with the ability to correct the deficit of linoleic acid in hair follicles which is a trigger of immoderate inflammatory reactions from our immune system. The oil is also a factor that reduces sebum output;

b) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates, the miraculous serum, from a living creature with skin similar to human skin who never suffers from skin infections and acts as an effective adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, trigger of skin repair and skin regeneration, and enzyme dissolver of blocked pores;

c) Licorice Root Extract (*) an antimicrobial with potent activity against acne bacteria, anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, and an inhibitor of sebum production;

d) Alpine Willow herb extract (Epilobium Fleischeri) a botanical source of keratolytic salicylic acid in a natural form, and an antimicrobial;

e) Essential oil from the roots of Coleus Forskohlii with strong antimicrobial activity and a strong medicinal smell that you might not appreciate for about 20 minutes until it fades away.

The smell is a small price you pay for an "essential" component of BIOSKINFORTE for it activates many of your more than 10 million olfactory receptor neurones. But its nothing = "nada" when compared to the value you get: the strongest remedy that effectively heals and contains acne breakouts without any side effects on your body or skin. You always have the choice to behave as if you were a warrior and just use the product without previously messing with your nose inside the jar.

f) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) that deeply moisturizes the skin and restores the capacity of the skin to hold in water;

g) An extract from the fruit of black pepper which enhances the penetration of the active ingredients.

Apply a little of this acne cream twice a day on all the area affected by acne cysts or stubborn pimples (whole face, chest or back).

BIO ACNE CARE
Gentle but effective acne treatment serum for pimples & acne cysts, specially for those on the chest or back.

The product is oil free and contains the following ingredients that act in concert to yield benefits that go beyond the sum of those of their specific parts:

a) our biological Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates with antioxidant, antimicrobial & skin regeneration properties to heal skin lesions within the follicles, control acne bacteria and prevent and get rid of acne scars;

b) the active extract of the bark of the Black willow ( Salix Nigra) tree to enhance cell renewal on the surface of the skin, unclog pores and reduce acneic skin flora (Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus). The actual content of willow (Salix Nigra) extract expressed as standarized salicylic acid is less than 0.5%. The Salix Nigra extract also provides natural B-hydroxy acid activity, without the skin irritation commonly associated with synthetic salicylic acid;

c) modified glucomannan (carbohydrate) -high molecular weight heterpolysaccharides made up of glucose and mannose derived from the Japanese Konjac tuber (root)- that reduce the surface tension of oil and facilitates its dispersion into droplets. These droplets get distributed evenly along the skin’s surface, minimizing their presence and oily feel;

d) Hyaluronic Acid a glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) to deeply moisturize the skin and restore the capacity of the skin to hold in moisture; and seaweed extracts that provide moisture and trace minerals necessary for the recovery of damaged skin cells; and sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid (naturally in human skin) moisturizer;

e) Japanese Licochalcone LR-15 from Licorice (Glycyrrhiza inflate) extract which clinicals (*) in Japan have shown that at very low concentration reduces undesired p. acnes and other acneic skin flora, is anti-irritating, anti-inflammatory and reduces sebum output. 

Apply a thin layer twice a day on all the area affected with acne (whole face, chest or back) and then always use sun protection.  If you are allergic to salycilic acid or to aspirin do not use the product and if you experience stinging or irritation (very unlikely) you must stop using the product and consult your physician.

Abstract: Licochalcone-A, Polyol Soluble Licorice Extract P-U (now in the market as Licochalcone LR-15), prepared from the roots of Glycyrrhiza Inflata Batalin shows several activities such as inhibitory actions of testosterone 5 ALPHA-reductase, lipase and phospholipase A2, as well as androgen receptor antagonist, antimicrobial and SOD-like antioxidant actions, which relate to skin care, especially the suppression of acne formation and development. On basis of this evidence, a trial with acne patients was carried out and the efficacy of the extract was demonstrated clinically.
