Skin care for bad acne and natural cures for cystic acne

How much water would you drink in a day? Not enough for healthy body function is the most likely answer, but how come water is so important for the healthy functioning of the skin? The answer simple - water helps to flush out toxins from the body which would otherwise be excreted through the skin which could then lead to further acne breakouts. Water also helps to keep the skin well moisturized and therefore in better condition. Personally, I recommend drinking at least two liters of water a day, spread out over the day and not all in one big go. If possible use a water filtration device to remove any foreign particles from the water which may have a negative impact on your health.
From our understanding of acne as it is today, we know that within our skin we have millions of tiny little glands (sebaceous glands) that produce a substance called sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that is an essential part of the hair growth cycle and is found anywhere on the body where hair is needed. For some reason, it appears that the sebaceous glands of acne patients are overly sensitive to normal levels of testosterone, and that sensitivity causes the sebaceous glands to produce very high levels of sebum which clogs up the pores causing spots and blackheads etc..
There are several different kinds of acne treatments that you can choose from including homemade, store bought and prescribed. If cost is a factor, a homemade acne treatment is your best bet. Many department store products are also fairly inexpensive and bring about great results. So, what's better, homemade or store bought? Nearly 80 percent of people who tried department store acne treatments reported an improvement in their acne condition. Those who chose a homemade acne treatment also reported a great improvement in their skin. This means that personal preference, cost and convenience are the deciding factors.
