Acne, also known as pimples, is the result of excess oil produced by glands of the skin, which is reflected in the face with outbreaks. Acne is usually a condition affecting all ages and both sexes, is common in adolescence, although not all adolescents have. It depends, sometimes, genetics or the circumstances of each agency. This excessive production of fat can be caused by several factors:
Causes of Acne
• Hormonal Imbalance, hormones act to produce high amounts of natural oils. Heredity is a factor that contributes to hormonal imbalance. During adolescence and menstruation have great movement hormonal, so during those periods acne is more likely to sprout?
• Medications: birth control pills or steroids, which influence hormonal movement, can lead to acne.

Natural treatments for acne. All of these remedies, but you seem very snecillos, are powerful elements together to fight acne:
* RELAXATION: If you suffer from acne, the first thing you should do is try to relax as much as possible and not see the problem as a monster. If you see well, you feel bad about yourself, you disapprove and reject your image, which significantly affects your mood and could lead to more acne. So try, every time you feel despair or anger about the condition, thinking that you’re taking action on the matter, and soon your face will start to look better looking. Just give time for nature to act.
* NATUROPATHY: to prevent the infection from spreading, you use towels, cotton balls and clean cloths soaked in water hamammelis. The rose water is good tonic too.
* EVITA CREAMS, TREATMENTS AND OINTMENTS “FAST”: this is one of the worst things to eradicate acne.
