Natural Treatment for Acne & Rosacea

Nature's Gold has developed a 3-in-1 Natural Acne Treatment which has been especially developed from natural ingredients including Jojoba Oil base, essential oils and herbal extracts to help control excessive oil produced by very active sebaceous glands.

What is Acne?

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions that affects most people during teenage years but can extend into adult life. It appears as differenct types of bumps on the skin including whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and cysts usually occurring on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Although it is not a serious health threat, it can be a source of significant emotional distress. Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring.

What Causes Acne?

Doctors believe acne results from several related factors but the exact cause is not fully understood. Acne occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands are stimulated by male hormones that are produced in the adrenal glands of both boys and girls. This increases the amount of sebum which can clog the pores causing whiteheads and blackheads. Bacteria that live on the skin grow in these oils and produce waste products that cause inflammation.

How to Care for Skin with Acne

Clean your skin - If you have acne, you should gently wash your face with a mild cleanser such as Nature's Gold Acne Cleanser/Toner each morning and evening.
Avoid scrubbing or rubbing your skin - you can't scrub your acne away! In fact, abrasive or frequent washing can lead to dry skin and irritated acne.
If you exercise hard and sweat a lot, gently wash your face afterwards.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day.
Don't touch your face - our hands have oil and bacteria on them which can aggravate your acne.
Don't pop that pimple! If you squeeze now, all you'll do is force the contents deeper into the skin that will make matters worse.
Exfoliate once or twice a week with Nature's Gold Acne Facial Mask to remove dead skin cells and allow excretion of excess oil and impurities.
Use a gentle moisturiser like Nature's Gold Acne Moisturising Lotion with Jojoba Oil. This non-greasy lotion creates an invisible barrier against moisture loss and also assists in controlling excessive oil produced by very active sebaceous glands.

Treating acne takes time so be patient! The goal of all acne treatments is to get rid of existing blemishes and to prevent new ones from forming. Unfortunately this doesn't happen overnight and you may find your skin gets worse before it gets better. Results are usually seen in a few weeks but is may take up to 8 weeks or more. We recommend using the complete Natural Acne Treatment as each of the products is designed to work together to get the best results.
