A Microdermabrasion Cloth, Acne and the Honey Treatment
The causes of acne can be complex, ranging from hormone imbalance to poor diet to poor skin care.
From a skin care point of view the answer is simple; keep skin as clean as possible, free from bacteria, excess sebum (oil) and dead skin cells that would otherwise clog pores, cause infection and lead to outbreaks
Acne is not caused by unclean skin. But keeping skin clean is an important part of its control; however, we need to be thinking a little deeper than simple washing. Exfoliation is the next step.
Exfoliation simply means removing the surface layer (epidermis) of the skin to expose the new cells formed in the lower dermis. This shedding action has the effect of unclogging pores and removing imperfections. whilst at the same time, toning and brightening the skin by increasing circulation.
Exfoliation (or microdermabrasion) with a microfiber peel cloth is not only a safe and highly effective method of removing excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells, there are other benefits too, such as scar reduction and the increased production of collagen( a main connective tissue protein).
Microdermabrasion peel cloths are made up of ultra fine microfibers. Tiny fibres, woven together to form a unique cloth of microscopic wedge shaped filaments. Each filament has a nylon micro core that acts to lift and trap oil, dirt and debris, holding it like a magnet away from the skin surface. The result is exceptionally clean skin.
It is important to note that not all microfibers are suitable for skin use. Some have been developed for the domestic market. Be sure to use only cosmetic grade microfiber, (80% polyester,20% polyamide) that has been dermatologicaly tested and is therefore safe for use on even the most sensitive skins.
These unique fibres are very fine, each fiber no thicker than one hundredth the width of a human hair, with fibers finer than silk…The results are quite amazing.
Micro peel cloths are not a daily treatment, and although results are immediately visible, the trick is not to overdo it. It's a process, and the recommended treatment is 1-3 minuets every 7 to 10 days, depending on skin sensitivity.

As mentioned earlier, although not perhaps the root of acne, bacteria and clogged pores are a primary causes for concern. The processes discussed here ensure we are not promoting an environment in which bacteria can flourish.
Microdermabrasion peel cloths, with there deep cleansing exfoliating properties provide a perfect means for keeping pores clear of microbes… but why stop there?
If bacteria are the foe, then a natural product with powerful antibacterial properties could be just what's needed…
Honey …are you aware of its amazing healing properties?
Honey has outstanding antibiotic and antibacterial properties, in fact most micro organisms cannot exist within it. It's a real kryptonite for bacteria!
Honey has many supporters and is currently even being trailed in the fight against MRSA. But this is not a new story. This miracle of nature has been used as a treatment for wounds and skin ailments for over 2000 years. The ancient Egyptians had over 500 uses for healing honey, and today this inexpensive home treatment is just waiting for you to discover it!
Of the many types of honey and honey products available, raw honey is considered to be the best in terms of antibacterial content, and of the raw honeys without doubt the most interesting from our point of view is "MANUKA ".
Manuka honey as the name suggests is made from the flowers of the manuka bush (from New Zealand) and has been shown to contain a very high degree of healing properties apart from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), common to all honey.
Manuka honey seems to contain an additional antimicrobial healing agent, termed UMF (unique manuka factor); it has proved to be effective against all infectious organisms, and is the recommended form to use.
As you can see the topical use of honey helps maintain a positive skin environment and makes a perfect partner for your home microdermabrasion treatment.
Here are some simple recipes for you to try…Remembering that although nothing is guaranteed to work for everyone in every case, honey is totally safe and natural and therefore well worth trying. (If you can't get manuka then simply use the honey available)… You may be pleasantly surprised by the simple substance sitting on you kitchen shelf!
