Sulfur: How I Use it to Treat Acne
During a recent trip to the mall I was introduced to a product, or active ingredient rather, that has worked wonders on my acne after using it only two weeks. What is the name the product? The name is not important because it is just a run-of-the-mill store brand acne cream, but what is important is the active ingredient; sulfur.
Most people have heard at least something about sulfur in their lifetime, usually that it stinks. But, you may be surprised to learn that this is not all that sulfur has to offer, in fact it has a lot more; it is a highly effective acne treatment for some.
While other products take two different treatments to remove dead skin, unclog pores, and kill bacteria sulfur is able to do it all in one step.
The first thing you will want to do is use a facial scrub that contains sulfur as the active ingredient. The purpose of a scrub is to remove the outer layer of dead skin, which exposes the skins pores and readies them for the next step.
After the pores are exposed you can rinse your face with warm water, this will flush out built-up dirt and oil which love to harbor bacteria, which is the focus of our next step.
Now that your outer layer of dead skin cells have been removed, the built up dirt and oil in your pores have been flushed out, and the bacteria have been killed you will want to keep it that way. This brings us to another product.
The best thing to use for this is non-soap face soap. I know that this sounds weird, but that is precisely what it is. This product is a lot milder then the sulfur facial cleanser, so it can be used on a daily basis without causing irritation.
While I use all of these products and I recommend them to everyone that I come into contact with, I am not a professional. For this reason, you should consult your dermatologist before beginning any of these treatments.
