If your severe acne problem has led you to search for extreme solutions, you might now be willing to try just about anything. Be conscious that by experimenting with crazy-sounding acne treatments, you might be succumbing to some elaborate wise-tales, risking the general health of your skin. Definitely investigate the weird acne treatment you are interested in prior to deciding to try it, or ask your acne dermatologist for his or her opinion.
For starters, you've probably been hearing all the talk about one bizarre acne treatment since the smashing hit movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" arrived on the 'big screen'. From the media to your own home, the hope that acne can be solved using crazy treatments you had never thought of is being put to the test.
The Facts About Windex, Egg Yolks and Snail Serum?
If after seeing "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" you had the hunch that using a household cleaning product on your sensitive facial skin was not such a good idea, you are not alone. Windex contains alcohol and ammonium hydroxide that aid in the process of drying out the skin. The bad news is that these ingredients can also irritate the skin, resulting in extreme dryness, red spots and rawness.
Yet another rumor describes a simple acne treatment that has actually been used for centuries. Due to their high Vitamin A content, egg yolks have frequently been recommended by dermatologists who believe that this vitamin serves has an effective natural acne treatment. While this ancient technique is reported to have a 70% success rate in the reduction of acne lesions, it also has its draw backs, such as the intense preparation and treatment periods involved in applying the egg-yolk based mask.
It's doubtful that either of the two crazy acne treatments mentioned can really be all that effective, despite their fame on the big screen or as historical legacy.
The good news is that with intensive research methodologies and extensive clinical testing, certain scientists have been able to reveal a secret and strange ingredient now used in pioneering an acne treatment cream. This natural acne treatment's secret is secreted by the small brown snail you typically find outdoors. Numerous molecular and cellular processes natural to the snail extracts cause regenerative effects when applied to human skin.
This serum's effectiveness lies in the fact that it contains collagen, elastin and water holding molecules that consequently have the same structural elements of human skin. The idea of smearing your face with a snail serum may not be that appealing, but this natural acne treatment has been proven to work in a clinical setting.
Just when you thought all hope was lost, a recently discovered, all-natural acne treatment gel has been scientifically proven as an effective natural acne treatment cream that won't cause negative side effects.
