How Does ARMSTRONG SKIN AID for ACNE Work?
In order to understand how ARMSTRONG SKIN AID for ACNE works, it is important to know the basic causes of Acne. Although it is not fully understood why some people get acne and some do not, it is known that heredity plays a part. In addition, there are several other factors that are known to be linked to the outbreak of Acne:
- Hormonal Activity, such as menstrual cycles, and changes during puberty.
- Stress, through increased output of hormones from the adrenal (stress) glands.
- Excessively active sebaceous glands.
- Accumulation of dead skin cells.
- Bacteria in the pores, to which the body becomes ‘allergic.’
- Skin Irritation or scratching of any sort will activate inflammation.
- Use of anabolic steroids. (Not recommended)
- Use of some medications.
- Some environmental exposures.
ARMSTRONG SKIN AID for ACNE contains four very important ingredients, PASTEURIZED CREAM, BEES WAX, ROSIN, & ESSENTIAL ORGANIC OIL. These ingredients in their most pure and natural state, mixed in the exact proportions and prepared in a manner that has been refined and improved through four generations of use result in a winning formula for the treatment of Acne, significantly controlling and relieving 4 of the above causes of Acne.
Bacteria in the pores: These ingredients have been well known by ancient cultures as well as by today’s natural specialists to be some of the best natural antiseptics (substances that prevent the growth and reproduction of various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses). Due to these antiseptic properties, ARMSTRONG SKIN AID helps to control cause #5 of Acne: bacteria in the pores.
Accumulation of dead skin cells: The ingredients in ARMSTRONG SKIN AID also are emulsifiers, humectants, and emollients, as well as soothing and helping the skin in retaining its natural moisture (not oil). These qualities added to the natural presence of Vitamin A in its ingredients allow ARMSTRONG SKIN AID to be easily absorbed into the skin, increase the rate of skin cell turnover and temporarily increase skin Collagen. (The most abundant protein in humans, Collagen is responsible for skin strength and elasticity.) Because of these attributes, ARMSTRONG SKIN AID significantly relieves cause #4 of Acne: accumulation of dead skin cells.
Excessively active sebaceous glands: The ingredients in ARMSTRONG SKIN AID naturally contain Abietic Acid, which is excellent for the regulation of sebum (a semi-fluid secretion of the sebaceous glands consisting mainly of fat, keratin and cellular material). In addition, topically applied, Abietic Acid is very beneficial for . . .
Skin irritation and inflammation: This combination of ingredients results in a completely natural emollient, soothing and softening the skin as it controls and relieves the causes of Acne.
Because the other five causes of Acne may still be present, treating Acne with ARMSTRONG SKIN AID requires consistent use as instructed. However, any subsequent breakout of Acne will be of significantly less severity and can be effectively controlled and diminished with the use of ARMSTRONG SKIN AID.
