Steps to Proactive Acne Treatment
by Nnamdi

Proactive acne treatment involves the complete management of acne until it is finally healed. Since acne is a chronic skin affliction characterised by inflammation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, proactive acne treatment should deal with the root causes of acne. The aim of proactive acne treatment is, among other things, to reduce the factors that give rise to acne and promote speedy healing where it has occurred.

Prominent among the possible causes of acne are:
•Hereditary tendency;
•Sex hormone imbalance at puberty;
•Impaired fat metabolism.

Proactive acne treatment will, therefore, attempt to attack these root causes of acne. The chief target of proactive acne treatment is to prevent the psychological stress associated with acne since acne comes at a time majority of the victims want to look their best.
Of the three major causes of acne above, impaired fat metabolism can be reasonably controlled.

Therefore proactive acne treatment should involve responsible dieting. Though the possible effect of diet in causing acne has not been positively determined, I [and some others] think it is an important factor in proactive acne treatment. Positive change in diet has a lot to do with proactive treatment of acne.

Proactive Acne Treatment and Food
To aid in the proactive treatment of acne, the following should be observed:
1. A conservative diet should be observed. Excesses of fat [especially the saturated fats of animal origin], pastries, chocolate and greasy foods should be avoided.
2. Consumption of fruits and vegetables [raw, as far as possible] should be encouraged.
3. Tea, coffee, cocoa, cola drinks and all alcoholic beverages should be avoided.
4. Do not ingest medicines unless prescribed by an authorized person
5. Sugar should be avoided; Foods with artificial flavors and preservatives should also be avoided.
6. White Bread? Avoid it. Whole wheat bread is a good substitute.

In addition to the above, for effective proactive acne treatment,
[a] Get eight to nine hours of sleep each day
[b] Carry out a gentle body exercise daily
[c] Keep your hands away from your face and other affected areas
[d] Do not apply cream, oil, ointment or grease of any type to the affected skin areas.

You are well on your way to recovery through this proactive acne treatment steps. Not only will your acne be gone, you will not have to suffer from acne again [at least as a result of metabolic disorder].
