Treating Acne Can Be Achieved Without Using Acne Treatment Products?

Some people may think that this is an erroneous statement but allow me to explain. We have all been bombarded by acne products that ‘we should use’ but did you know that you can actually manage acne without products that are intended for acne?

Well just let me tell you of my own experience. Sometime ago I ran out of acne products and getting the ones I have been accustomed to proved difficult, so I decided that hey I don’t have my acne product but I had an Olay line of products, I would use that in the mean time. It was made up of a simple facial scrub a night cream and a day cream. I decided to use these products consistently because I have grown accustomed to the fact that consistency is the key for most things to show result. My reason for using this was to improve the look of my face, particularly to make it look a little more radiant and reduce the acne scars I had developed. Since I wasn’t getting rid of the pimples I thought well at least I could try to improve on the appearance of my face.

So I used the scrub cleanser twice a day, at mornings when I wake and at nights before going into bed. I followed every night with the night cream and in the mornings with the day cream, that was after scrubbing of course. The scrub I used was not very abrasive and so it didn’t leave my skin damaged in anyway. To my surprise after about 2 weeks my acne had improved in fact the acne were so few that it was as if I were using some fancy acne product. Additionally my face looked radiant and the marks were beginning to fade, I was pleasantly surprise.

The improvement on my face was so noticeable that I was even complimented on how well it looked. After about one month there was remarkable improvement on my skin. That taught me a valuable lesson about acne. That lesson was that as long as you are persistent and committed to working on your skin it usually improves, even if you don’t follow what is considered the norm.

Please don’t get me wrong acne treatment products are great in effectively clearing acne in a relatively short space of time, but in the absence of these products there should be nothing preventing you from doing the best for you skin, and believe me when you try your best it always pays off. Mind you any brand of product would work just fine, I happened to have Olay at the time. So don’t despair if you are experiencing breakouts or stubborn acne, just know that as long as you are diligent they will eventually go away.
