Out with pimples and pigmentation
Question : I'm 38 years old and have four children. I have skin pigmentation, freckles and pimples on my face. What are the causes and how do I get rid of them?
Answer : Acne or pimples is a skin disorder caused by inflammation of the hair follicles and the sebaceous glands in the skin. Sebum (oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands) trapped in hair follicles encourages bacteria present on the skin to multiply easily, leading to inflammation, and causing pimples break out. Pigmentation, on the other hand, may be due to over-exposure to the sun, medications and hormonal changes. It may be worsened by poor liver condition as this organ is mainly involved in eliminating toxins.
Firstly, ensure adequate intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Bright coloured fruits and green leafy vegetables such as carrot, tomatoes, beetroot and spinach are rich in beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A). Drink at least six to eight glasses of water daily.
Essential
fatty acids (EFAs) are needed for the formation of the lipid layer of the skin. This helps improve the smoothness and softness of the skin and may be beneficial for those with hormone imbalance. Evening primrose oil is a rich source of the omega-6 fatty acids.
Milk Thistle is a liver tonic. It helps to optimise the function of the liver which is vital in detoxifying the body. The diuretic action of dandelion improves the body's elimination system. In combination, these herbs aid in cleansing the body of toxins.
You should wash your face with a cleanser formulated with tea tree oil, St John's Wort and calendula. Tea tree oil has remarkable antiseptic properties while St John's Wort and calendula are soothing for the skin. This combination cleanses deep into the skin and controls oily complexion problems. It also soothes and brings down inflammation.
