Pimples: Causes And Prevention

In order to prevent toxins from being excreted through the skin and thus leading to pimples, you should ingest less pollutants and encourage other ways of elimination.

Pimples  aren’t just an aesthetic problem. Among other things, they also point out that too many pollutants accumulate in the organism. Find out more on this topic in today’s article. 

Detoxification of the organism

Our body always tries to find a balance on its own. When we learn to recognize signs and symptoms, we are able to avoid many health problems.

Every day, toxins accumulate in our body in different ways :

• Unhealthy diet (additives, refined foods, fried foods, trans fats and sugars, etc.)
• Bad digestion
• Environmental pollution (exhaust gases, toxins and air pollution)
• Alcohol consumption
• Cosmetic products with chemical or toxic substances

The following  organs are responsible for breaking down toxins: 

• Intestines
• Kidneys and urinary tract
• Lungs
• skin

How does the skin break down pollutants?

The skin excretes toxins through the pores through sweat and sebum deposits in the form of pimples or pustules, boils, acne, blackheads, etc.

The harmful substances must be eliminated so that tumors and cysts do not form over time. The two main ways you can do this are  by preventing them from entering and by promoting the breakdown of toxins.

How can the penetration of the toxins be avoided?

• A conscious selection of natural, preferably unprocessed foods (no convenience foods, packaged foods, etc.).
• Prefer organic food.
• Always wash and peel fruit and vegetables thoroughly if they are not organically grown.

• Avoid additives.
• Do not combine too many foods in one meal.
• Treat possible digestive disorders (heartburn, reflux, gas, etc.).
• Eat slowly and chew the food properly.
• Avoid alcohol and cigarettes.
• Avoid toxic substances in our immediate vicinity (paints, varnishes, exhaust gases, etc.).
• Put detoxifying plants in the apartment.
• Use of natural or homemade cosmetics that do not contain heavy metals or other toxins.

What foods cause pimples?

There are certain foods that can make breakouts more likely. These should be avoided as much as possible:

• Fatty milk and dairy products such as cream, cheese or ice cream
• Red meat
• Sausages, especially those with a high fat content
• Milk chocolate (whereby dark chocolate or pure cocoa can be consumed)
• Trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fats
• Sauces
• Fried

How is our body detoxified?

To prevent pimples, body detox can be promoted in other ways:

• Regulation of the digestive system, avoiding constipation and frequent episodes of diarrhea.
• Care and tonification of the liver with bitter herbal teas (milk thistle, Boldo bush, dandelion, artichoke).
• Promote the detoxification function of the kidneys  (with burdock or horsetail tea).

• Perform detox therapies, such as B. Oil rinses, the Tibetan garlic cure and regular detox cures.

How can we take care of our skin

Proper skin care is also important so that the toxins can be eliminated through the pores without pimples forming.

• Carry out a weekly peeling that is tailored to the skin type, using natural products such as sugar, salt or hydrogen carbonate.
• Apply a healing earth mask every ten or fourteen days . This takes the toxic substances directly and supplies the skin with minerals and nutrients.

• Use moisturizing creams, preferably of natural origin. Vegetable oils can also be used, however chemical products should be avoided, especially those containing paraffin.
• To control excess sebum, rice paper can then be used and aloe gel applied.
• Then stay away from the pimples as much as possible. Apply some tea tree oil and wait for the pimple to dry out as it could become infected.
