Yet how does it relate to your fitness?</p>
<p>Think about it&#8230;</p>
<p>If your face is spotty you tend to shun the bright lights of the gym. And you hardly need to be reminded again and again by all the mirrors they have around the place.</p>
<p>It can turn you into a &#8220;stay at home.&#8221; Which means fitness tends to go into limbo as you watch TV and eat those snacks.</p>
<h2>Lets Get Acne Sorted!</h2>
<p>Firstly most treatments cost some money.</p>
<p>Secondly whatever you do it&#8217;s unlikely that you&#8217;ll get every spot to disappear so don&#8217;t raise your expectations too high. And in fact the treatment may only keep the acne rom getting worse.</p>
<p>If you want to avoid paying for treatment there are other avenues to explore.</p>
<p>Of course you need to be sure that any treatment you undertake is safe. And be aware that the guidelines I describe are <b><u>ONLY</u></b> for mild acne. If you have more severe acne, or it has complications you need to check in with a doctor. </p>
<p>With any remedy you try at home results are likely to be slow. So you need to be a little patient. However, if after 2 weeks there&#8217;s no noticeable difference stop using them as further use could make your acne worse and your skin worse too.</p>
<p>That applies to any of the remedies you hear as you surf the Internet too.</p>
<h2>Using A Different Soap</h2>
<p>In reality acne stems from hormone levels and the oil production it activates. So washing is unlikely to completely resolve the problem. However, you could try using benzoyl peroxide, which treats the spots, rather than the cause of acne. </p>
<p>You can find this in face wash, soap bars, creams and gels. </p>
<p><b>Caution:</b> You need to remember not to over use this as it can leave your skin looking very red and very dry. So use it sparingly and check your results.</p>
<h2>What About Using Aspirin?</h2>
<p>Actually you don&#8217;t aspirin you use its active ingredient salicylic acid. This is found in facial washes and facial pads. These may help unclog your pores reduce pimple growth.</p>
<p>Remember, like before, be careful how you use it, follow instructions and discontinue its use if it doesn&#8217;t work as you expect.</p>
