The title of this article was deliberately written to make you think, with the hope you will read it and take the advice it offers about treating severe acne at home. It is important that you understand that your acne is NOT your fault but, at the same time, that you learn a simple home acne treatment that will help you tremendously.
There is no denying it: Acne is a destroyer of self confidence that negatively affects us. Everything about us suffers. Relationships suffer. Career advancement is stalled. Even certain jobs are out of reach. You and I both know the pain of these truths. But, the acne is NOT who you are, it is simply something that happens to most of the human race at one time or another.
Just what is this affliction that turns our lives upside down?
Acne is nothing more than the result of a hormone imbalance in our body that clogs skin pores. Clogged skin pores are havens for bacteria that causes big pimples, zits, and blackheads.
Oil glands are responsible for keeping our skin waterproof and pliable. They can generate excess "sebum" that chokes hair follicles, clogging skin pores.
Therefore, it follows that severe acne CANNOT be your fault and you can take comfort that most teens and 25% of adults suffer from some level of embarrassing acne. Just look around you. You are not alone in the battle against this condition.
Uninformed and cruel people will claim that, because you have acne, you must be an unclean person and you have pimples because you do not practice good hygiene. Not only is such a belief not backed by any scientific fact, it is a hurtful lie!
Poor hygiene CANNOT be the cause of acne!
So, what is an effective home acne treatment that you can start using right now?
It is... Wash your face the right way every day!
That's it! It is that simple! Wash your face the right way every day and you will begin seeing positive improvement in your severe acne within a week or two. Cleaning our skin pores is the first step towards acne-free skin.
Here is the way to do it:
1. Wash gently with warm water. Never wash with steaming hot water.
2. Use a hypo-allergenic face cleanser. Do not use common soap.
3. Rinse with cool water, not very cold water because your pores need to remain open.
4. Dry your face gently with a nice 100% cotton towel. Do not use a towel that has synthetic fiber.
5. Wash your face in the morning, at lunchtime (if possible), and definitely before you go to bed.
