5 natural solutions to acne, and the reasons why they work

Acne can have an enormous effect on a person’s life, as they can seriously affect self-esteem and destroy an individual’s self-image. An abundance of advice and different approaches to fighting acne already exist and new information on how to treat acne-prone skin seems to emerge every day. It is not our wish to sound repetitive and we believe that you already know that fatty foods need to be avoided and that drinking plenty of water is beneficial. Instead, we’ve gathered a few facts that the majority of you is most likely not yet familiar with, but are nevertheless important when fighting acne-prone skin. Facts even people dealing with this nuisance for a while might not yet be familiar with.

 

The good news is that there are 5 natural acne solutions that can help you get rid of acne, pimples, and blackheads

Healthy skin is acidic
We wrongly believed that the balanced pH of the skin is 5.5. Recent scientific studies show that our skin is naturally more acidic, with the pH below 5.0. At this level, the skin seems to be covered with an acidic coating (the neutral value is close to 7) that successfully protects it from negative environmental effects. Because of that, the more ‘acidic’ skin seems to be healthier and more beautiful. Imbalance in the skin’s pH values is often the cause of acne-prone and impure skin. In addition to using aggressive skin care products, the water’s pH balance and hardness (in Europe the pH is close to 8.0) can also be the cause of imbalanced acidity in the skin.

The solution is simple: restore the skin’s acidity with various hydrolates after each washing, some even suggesting the use of apple cider vinegar. Even more importantly, make sure to find a face cream that contains natural and beneficial acids.

 

Oils can be good for acne, but only non-comedogenic oils

Oils are a natural way to feed the skin with fatty acids while raising the level of moisture at the same time. People with acne-prone skin have a lack of linoleic acid in the skin, and some natural oils provide an excellent source.

It is however very important not to use just any oil. The oil must have a non-comedogenic structure, meaning it doesn’t clog your pores while still cleansing them perfectly. Oils mentioned as most non-comedogenic are hemp, safflower, camellia and poppyseed oil as well as shea butter.

Acne-prone and oily skin lacks linoleic acid, of which Hemp oil is a rich source that is at the same time also non-comedogenic and doesn’t clog pores. Curious why your skin loves hemp oil?

 

Omega-3 and Omega-6 are crucial for healthy and beautiful acne-free skin

Two of the most important ingredients in any skin care product are essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 being at the top of the list. These tend to soothe irritated skin in areas where impurities accumulate most.

There is no place in nature where omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids would be more perfectly balanced than in cold pressed Cannabis Sativa oil.

CBD (Cannabidiol) is the new discovery in the fight against acne-prone skin

Clinical studies have shown that CBD cannabinoid or industrial hemp resin (Cannabis sativa), reduces the formation of tallow in sebaceous glands, while at the same time displaying a strong anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

The use of CBD in combating skin problems is already well established, with a growing number of scientists and manufacturers of cosmetic products dedicating time and resources to researching the substance at hand.

 

Acne can be a reflection of an internal imbalance

Our skin mirrors our well-being. It directly reflects any stress and hormonal imbalances our body might be going through. Our best efforts to eat healthy and avoid stress might sometimes still not be enough.

The use of CBD oil is recommended to harmonize our body and reduce our stress levels, as CBD stimulates intercellular communication and restores the internal balance of our organism. It also has a beneficial effect on our gastrointestinal tract, further contributing to the health of our skin.
