What is acne and what is the cause?
Acne is an inflammation process caused by clogged sebaceous glands which secrete oily sebum. Excessive production of sebum is usually caused by the hormone androgen and other lifestyle factors. This oily environment is ideal for bacteria reproduction (Propionibacterium acnes) which are the primary cause triggering the inflammation process. The symptoms include reddening, pain and swelling of the spot; uncomfortable pimples are the result.
What are the other factors causing acne?
There might be a wide range of factors triggering acne such as stress, smoking, diet, medication, hormones or incorrect skincare.
This problem is usually tackled with medication, cosmetics or other aesthetic treatments (laser, peeling or micro-needling). All these methods help to relieve the symptoms and moderate the sign of scarring after an inflamed spot. However, almost none of these modern techniques do not fix the cause of acne.
How can green superfood help?
The cause of acne can correlate with an unhealthy lifestyle, an acidic environment in the body contributing to the inflammation process, a faulty immune system or bacterial skin irritation. Green barley and chlorella play an important role as they are complex preparations which prevent acne.
They flush out the toxins from the body and give us biologically active ingredients such as chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, E, K, beta-carotene, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphor, kalium and natrium. Green barley and chlorella are the revolution in diet and they are also rich in enzymes.
The picture is showing acne before and after using greenfood. Chlorella and green barley were consumed for 4 weeks.
