NON-STEROIDAL ACNE OR WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR SKIN?

Almost every human being once in his/hers lifetime encounters such an inconvenience as acne. It’s common, it happens all the time and probably for someone who never had it in a severe form or for a prolonged period of time it might not seem like big deal but for some people who happened to be less lucky, skin problems could be a serious issue. 

Having your zits all over your face will not likely help you in your daily social life and sometimes cbs even cause anxiety or even a minor depression. This is why this issue should be addressed as soon as possible and it’s really important to leave no stone unturned. 

When dealing with acne the first thing that we have to do is to define the primary cause of it. The paradox is so that even though hormones do play a big role in this process and for example extremely high levels of estradiol can grant you oily skin,- this is not always the reason why you have acne. Some of us struggle with unpleasant skin texture for all of our lives never even touching any hormone at all. 

As you might have already guessed this is the type of acne I am going to talk about in about in this article. 

At the same time I toltally admit that hormones do play a great role in skin moistening however we will talk about steroid-related skin problems in the following notes. 

So what can bring you zits if not the hormones?

First of all it’s the lack of bathing. No, I am not telling you that you don’t spend enough time on your hygiene procedures but I am just pointing out that some people’s skin genetically require more frequent bathing than others. This is why switching to a two time daily bathing regimens indeed can make a difference. Sometimes adding a shower gel to your routine can also make a difference simply because your ordinary shampoo doesn’t have a required drying effect. If you haven’t ever considered this being a problem, we’ll you should give it a thought. 

Secondly remember that hydration is also a pretty important piece of puzzle in the when it comes to skin health. You should be drinking at least 35ml of water per kilogram of bodyweight(it also has other benefits especially for blood viscosity but that’s a totally different topic which should be granted a separate discussion). Sufficient water intake is a must if you do care about your health and better skin quality is just a pleasant bonus that comes on top of it. 

The less obvious thing which is we can’t skip is micro nutrients deficiency. Or it to put it better: individual requirements for certain minerals and vitamins. As we all know even though we are all humans we in fact posses different metabolic genes which are accountable for the fact why some humans can emulate effects of antidepressants while taking high dosages of certain B vitamins and others particularly don’t feel anything by doing so. 

So, yes, individual requirements do exist and we can’t neglect this fact. Speaking of which: a lot of people report drier skin and suppressed acne growth when they introduce zinc supplements and dosages >30mgs per day(zinc chelate works fine). 

Another vitamin B like structure that works in this scenario is pantethine which could be easily acquired on supplement sites and is 100% legal. It’s shown to work at dosages ~600mgs taken daily. 

If none of this works and you are still pretty positive the problem is about your hormones being dramatically out of range, then taking roaccutane at relatively low dosages(2.5-5mgs per day) for several moths usually does the trick. It’s really important to keep in mind that this indeed is a serious medication and must be taken with cautiousness. Don’t forget to not exceed this dosage(it’s better to run it for longer periods of time than bombarding yourself with higher dosages) and seek professional medical council before introducing this drug to your regimen. 

The things that we discussed today are not the only things you can do to get rid of non-steroidal acne but they definitely work, it’s been tested by many people.
