Our secret weapon in eliminating acne lies in the sea water

There are two major causes of acne and the rest are just secondary. Before we can tackle them, we need to understand what they are and how they affect us. 

Acne is caused by imbalanced hormone production. When you were a teenager, your body began to produce a hormone known as androgens, which activates and stimulates the oil glands in your skin, thus increasing oil and sebum production. 

Logically, with the limited size of each pore and the constant influx of sebum, your pores get clogged and you may notice the presence of blackheads and pimples. As that spreads across the skin, it becomes known as acne vulgaris. 

Stress in this case acts more like a catalyst rather than a cause. But do not underestimate the damages of stress. It can potentially worsen the acne a person has. 

Our secret weapon in eliminating acne lies in the sea water. The sea water is formed with a balance of the salts in minerals such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium chloride and bromides. 

These forms of minerals are vital in their respective ways for acne treatment. 

• Magnesium reduces stress and water retention, hampering aging and soothes the nervous system. 
• Calcium prevents water retention while increasing circulation. 
• Potassium balances skin moisture level and replenishes minerals lost in vigorous activities. 
• Bromides ease muscle stiffness and tensions, thus eliminating stress, which is a major contributing factor to acne. 
• Finally, sodium is a booster for immune system function. 

All these act as a natural defense for your body against any acne breakouts. 

So how can we apply the power of sea water and exercise to your acne condition, the answer is simple. Just head down to the nearest beach and have a swim! The only thing you need to be careful of is sunburn. Therefore, only go on early mornings: 9am-11am or evenings at 5:30pm to 6:30pm. 

You may begin to notice the effects of this treatment after your first swim! And you will be amazed on how smooth your skin has become. The more vigorous your swim and the more you sweat, the more your skin will be cleansed. 

This is a double action cleansing as your sweat pushes the impurities off your skin, which by the way is no longer clogged after the sea water washes away the debris! 

Additionally, the minerals in the seawater penetrate the pores to do some deep skin cleansing, all while you’re having fun swimming!
