Skin Sensitivity and Rosacea 

The most annoying part about flare-ups is that even when they are gone or look better you dread that they will find a way to come back. Rosacea  is a problem that affects nearly 20 million people that is far from just the blush it is mistaken as. It causes the skin to be overly sensitive and leave a red-tinted flush that remains for hours. It is a chronic type of inflammation that primarily shows on the face due to dilated capillaries that can remain red longer with every flare-up. For some, bumpy blemishes, itching, stinging and thickening of the skincare additional complications that are coupled with rosacea. While your parents genes play a strong influence, rosacea can be controlled by avoiding common triggers. 

What Your Skin Routine Shouldn't Include

One of the first things most people look at changing when they are suffering from a skin issue is adjusting their skin routine. Of course, this is an excellent start, but it is important to remember your skin is extremely sensitive and the last thing you want to do is be overzealous. Certain products, especially exfoliants and astringents, will be harsh on the skin and are best avoided when you notice they are turning your face red. Abstaining for harsh sulfates and opting for gentler or natural cleansers will make difference. Exfoliants may still be used, but remember, you want to seek those that are gentle and do not irritate the skin. The same applies for body cleansers and products like lotions and perfumes containing fragrance and alcohol.

Is it Your Makeup?

We wash our face to get rid of all the grime and dirt that accumulates throughout the day. Making sure all your makeup is thoroughly removed will help. Completely changing the brand of makeup you use can also help in the event it is the makeup itself that it causing the triggers if you are allergic to it. If you suspect you are allergic, it is best to keep track of your symptoms when you wear makeup, and what happens when you do not for at least two weeks. 

Don't Let Stress Get the Best of You

It is amazing -- in a not so good way -- what stress can do physically and mentally. When you are under a lot of stress your body releases chemicals as a way to help deal with the stress. These chemicals can affect your skin when there is too much, and a lack of it can to the same (when you are burned out). It is all about keeping a balance and refraining from stress.

Consider What You Are or Aren't Consuming

The body is a funny thing. What affects one person may not affect the other so it is hard to completely rely on the methods of what worked for one person. A sad, but excellent example is food. Flare ups can happen for some who consume something that activate the unwanted response, often because you are allergic to it. The opposite affect can happen as well with not eating enough of a nutrient, plummeting the immune system, which causing an immune response to occur. The only true way to determine your issue would be to test either or both out to see if food, or a lack of a certain food, is causing your problem.  

Treating Your Rosacea

It is hard for many to find something that can lessen their flare-up attacks with rosacea or eliminate it. One of the best things a person that has it could do is to keep away from as many chemicals as possible. This is crucial because most with rosacea have sensitive skin. Baltic Essentials Amber can treat problems with rosacea naturally without any side effects. Reaping the benefits of amber is as simple as wearing it if you want to see results. Amber, made from succinic acid, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that can reduce inflammation from the source within the body when it warmed by the body and carried to the bloodstream. The redness also caused from inflammation is reduced and itchiness is relieved thanks to Amber's analgesic properties. Baltic Essentials Amber starts working from within moments after it is worn. It will not take long until you notice the difference.

 How can I Banish Pimples?

It is tough to say there is a single product out there that can completely get rid of pimples because what works for one person may not work for another. When it comes down to it, getting clearer skin has little to do with following the exact routine a person follows – it is all about experimenting. Still, there is a reason why there are certain skincare routines and treatment options that work for a handful of people. It may help reduce excess oil production or it could stop unwanted bacteria in its tracks.

If traditional acne products are not working as well as you would like them to, here are a few natural remedies you could try to treat acne on your own.

1 - Clay Masks

Clay masks (bentonite, kaolin, rhassoul) are beneficial for those looking to have great skin due to its powerful absorbing powers that gets red of toxins, bacteria, sebum, blackheads, whiteheads, and dead skin. While doing this, it also delivers oxygen and circulation to the face. As it gets rid of things we do not want on our face, clays are filled with minerals that are transferred to the skin for the body to use (many of which we are deficit in).

2 - Exfoliate

Exfoliating the skin, at least weekly, will help remove debris and dead skin on the surface of your skin. The key in using the right exfoliator is choosing the correct level of abrasion based on your skin type (sensitive, normal). For example, a gentle exfoliant like oatmeal is perfect for those with delicate skin, and a mineral based exfoliate such as sea salt will yield the best results for those with normal to combination skin. Honey, coconut oil, and kefir are excellent bases to blend with the exfoliant of your choice due to their healing and bacteria fighting properties.

3 – Garlic

Garlic is nature’s incredible antibacterial that can help stop pimples when it is eaten or applied on the affected area. If you decide to use it topically, slice a portion of the clove thinly to get to the juice before placing it on the problem area. Alternatively, you may blend the garlic clove. Be sure to keep it on your skin for at least 10-30 minutes.

4- Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider may not smell appealing, but what it can do for the body, inside and out, makes up for it. You can drink it or apply it directly to the spot you wish, and be sure to dilute it with water to find the best solution that works for you. While it is a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, apple cider is equally refreshing. Raw, unfiltered apple cider is suggested because it is filled with the most nutrients. It can be used as a spot treatment when you are breaking out or as an overall toner for the face after cleansing.

5- Cornstarch

Many would not think that cornstarch is not good for anything other than cooking, but it is a splendid natural remedy that is soothing and gentle. It is ideal for those struggling with irritation and redness. Cornstarch may be used as a face mask or added only to areas of concern. It should be left on for at least 15-20 minutes, but it is safe enough to leave on overnight to see an incredible change.

6 - Egg Whites

Adding egg whites to your skin routine is sure to make a difference in not just helping fight pimples, but improving the overall texture and appearance. This cheap facial mask will even help decrease oil, the appearance of pores, and draw out any impurities. In order to achieve the best results, you should leave it on your skin until it is completely dry (as evidenced by a tight face). Here’s another bonus: you will notice an amazing glow after you wash it off.

7 – Hazelwood

Acne is caused from things such as excess debris, a lack of nutrients or an internal imbalance which results in inflammation. Knowing how acne is started and fixing the problem is what will clear your skin long-term. Baltic Essentials Hazelwood can help cure acne naturally because it is capable of helping the body restore itself to its rightful pH and promote a healthy GI system. The hazelwood also helps fight inflammation and irritation when it comes in contact with the skin. Flareup’s may very well be a thing of the past when wearing Baltic Hazelwood, not only as an accessory, but as a secret weapon.

Stubborn Acne

Acne is one of the most common condition that affect nearly 90% of people around the world, and everyone has probably experienced its unwanted arrival at least once in their lives. One of the most annoying things many could agree is that the
condition is persistent and does not go away no matter what crazy methods we try. It helps to understand the root cause of your acne as it varies for many. De
pending on the cause, pimples can contribute to other illnesses and may be linked to:

• Insulin resistance (Type II Diabetes)
• PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
• Hypothyroidism
• Chronic Fatigue
• Excess cortisol (as a result of high stress)

Taking a Closer Look at Commercial Products

It’s frightening to think that your staple skin product can also be one of the worst things for you because of the toxins and carcinogens it contains. The beauty products laid out on shelfs look attractive and say the “right” things because they are made to sell. Our skin is made to protect as much as it functions to absorb so the fragrances, preservatives, stabilizers and artificial colors are absorbed via our pores and can result in many long-term issues. Acne forms because of bacteria, clogged pores and, for many people, excess sebum production. There are two primary causes of excess oil production: excess hormones and toxicity in the body. The chances of increasing the risk of either cause is increased when using synthetic skincare products.

Going Au-Natural

Treating your skin the right way means using the right products and avoid using harsh chemicals. There are a ton of natural products you can use to get rid of pimples, but even one product can be effective in getting rid of the skin problem. Baltic Essentials Hazelwood can help eliminate acne naturally due to its powerful capabilities in restoring internal balance. When the necklace is worn, the wooden beads absorb excess acidity until pH equilibrium has been reached. Hazelwood also reduces the number of free radicals in the body while releasing antioxidants to help get rid of acne. The power of Hazelwood can last for months at a time when it is kept away from water (when showering or going to the pool). You will know it is time to change the necklace when the wood begins to get dark.

Which Form of Acne Do You Suffer From?

Not all people suffer from the same form of acne during the times it erupts. In a lot of cases, it is possible to have more than one type appear on the skin at the same time. This complex issue can  make how acne should be approached when you are treating the ailment. The rise of hormones or imbalance can happen to any age. It is also of no surprise that our diet and the environment may also play a role in the development of acne, putting genetics aside. The following below can help you understand what type, or types, of acne you may be struggling with. 

Whiteheads

Believe it or not, these unsightly white spots that appear on the skin are oil glands that occur due to excessive production of oil which causes the glands to clog. Due to this, the oil remains trapped between skin layers and is unable to reach surface causing  a plug to form. Although no true infection takes place, bacteria may be present as well. Whiteheads do not last nearly as long as blackheads, with an average cycle of seven days.

Blackheads

This type of acne is extremely common for people on and around the nose, chin and forehead. If a pore remains open, it is also known as a open comedo. Black lumps appear because of blocked follicles because of bacteria, dead skin cells, and other substances that react to oxygen when it reaches the surface. It may appear black, grey, or brown.

Papules (Inflammatory)

Papules appear as little bumps or reddish dots on the skin. The area is inflamed although it may or may not be sensitive to the touch. They typically do not contain any pus or display a visible pore. It is best to not pick the area when flare-ups are active as it may result in scarring.

Pustules (Inflammatory)

You may be dealing with pustules the acne is inflammed, hard, and filled with pus that appear as white spots with a yellowish center. Attempting to pick or pop it can also lead to scarring and dark spots. The primary difference from and papules is that pustules contain white blood cells. There are an accumulation of these cells as the immune system tries to combat bacteria that travelled inside a ruptured follicle. The area tends to inflamed and tender.

Nodules (Inflammatory)

This is one of the more severe forms of acne that is larger in size compared to pustules and papules. The inflamed bump is painful although it does not contain pus and is hard and stiff. People may notice them during the latter stages when they are breaking out. Nodules appear due to accumulated skin cells, sebum, and bacteria within the follicles that are formed deep within the skin for a long time. This deepness poses potential tissue injury. They can be dormant, and activate occasionally. Should they be popped or squeezed, deep in
fections are a high possibility as well as permanent scarring. 

Cysts ((Inflammatory)

Cysts are the deepest form of acne that are filled with pus, unlike nodules. It is tender to the touch, and do not come to a head. Since cysts are located so deep under the skin, they do not look like pimples. They simply look like big, swollen lumps that either clump together or occur individually. Scarring and hyperpigmentation are almost a definite aftermath when it heals.

An Option for Treating Many Types of Acne

Baltic Essentials Hazelwood can naturally treat many types of acne without having to worry about troublesome side effects. It is especially helpful for those who are dealing with inflammatory acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Hazelwood is also able to ease pain associated with some forms of pimples because it is also a natural anesthetic. The active form of Hazelwood, acetylsalicylic acid, is delivered directly into the bloodstream where it attacks the infected and inflamed area. This ability is most favorable for deep pimples in the skin where topical agents have little to no effect on the area. It can be used to treat active breakouts as well as prevent them from coming so you can look your best.  

Getting Painful Pimples

For something so small, pimples can pack quite the punch on a person, whether it's  physically or emotionally. The pain is often intensified if we dare to pop it which may or may not be successful. Even the aftermath of popping a pimple is ugly as it invites scabs and scars. The reason pimples sometimes hurt is because the pore has become infected due to the collect of oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. This causes the body to fight back to kill the infection, wrapping the infected pore in a secluded bubble where inflammation takes place. The level of pain also depends how close the area is pushed against a nerve. It helps to implement a routine to reduce to eliminate the appearance of acne, but should the enemy decide to appear, there are a few things you can do to get rid of it quick while easing the pain.

Addressing the Pimple

There are a few methods you can try to banish the pimple(s). Try one or all to see what works best for your problem and skin type. Of course, keeping your skin clean and trying not to touch it should be remembered.

      1. One of the most helpful, and immediate, ways to relieve the pain to apply ice to the area. It's best to apply to the area for five minutes on and off for no more than 30 minutes.

      2. Typically, painful pimples do not head a head and they are embedded deep within the skin so drawing it up to the surface by applying a heat cloth can also be beneficial (other than the clay mask). As with the ice, apply it for 5 minutes on and off up to half an hour.

      3. The cooling sensation of peppermint and tea tree oil can also ease the pain as it heals the pimple by cleansing the area while drying it out. Remember to dilute the oil. It may be wash off or left over night.

      4. Clay masks have ability to draw out toxins and impurities from the skin and speed up the healing process. It is best to keep apply them to the spot for no more than 15-30 minutes.

As a side note, if you notice a pimple is especially deep, hard, and sore to the touch, you may be experiencing Cystic Acne. This form often requires alternative methods to get rid of it for good.

Healing Pimples from the Inside Out

Pimples stem from within our body just as much as they can occur from outside sources. Understanding how acne is formed is the true key to getting rid of the pimple and the pain one may experience from it. Inflammation is often the source of pain yet it is needed to fight off infections. Nonetheless, preventing and limiting its length when it is no longer necessary is just as much as an important factor in getting rid of pimples. Baltic Essentials Hazelwood is a powerful healer that carries anti-inflammatory properties capable of treating painful pimples naturally and preventing acne from returning. The active agent,acetylsalicylic acid, is released from the wood when they are worn, and it is sent directly into the bloodstream where the benefits begin to work internally within a matter of minutes to hours.

Living with Pimples on Your Face

It's interesting how there are times we wake up one morning and notice an unwanted lump on our face. Pimples may appear few and far between or they may appear often and nest in many areas on our face. We often feel extremely unlucky when acne seems to make a home out of our face, never really leaving. Knowing which stage you often fall helps define its level of severity, what options there are to treat it, and how long it may take to get better. 

First Stage of Acne

The first stage is the mildest form of acne where people may notice that they have blackheads, whiteheads, and small pimples. The most common areas these signs occur is on the forehead or nose, and teens are most likely to suffer from this stage. Nonetheless, adults are just as likely to develop this form of acne, especially the black- or whiteheads on the nose. There are usually no active signs of inflammation although the person is breaking out and small blemishes can be seen.

Second Stage of Acne

The second stage is classified as moderate acne where comedones tend to appear on the skin. There is a high chance that pustules, papules, and nodules are present as well that most find are sensitive to the touch. The cheeks, chin, and forehead are primary locations where the breakouts occur. It is usually a local problem and does not typically spread to other areas of the body other than the face.

Third Stage of Acne

Like the first two stages, breakouts do not tend go beyond the face although there is a chance it will in some cases. During the third stage, inflammation is now in effect to a great degree and signs such as pain and redness are common. Papules, pustules, and nodules continue to be present. Problems such as scarring and hyperpigmentation are likely to take place after the pimples heal, but if addressed properly, can heal.

Fourth Stage of Acne

The last stage is, of course, the most severe with the skin not only having pustules, nodules, and papulues -- troublesome cysts are a problem too. Most people experience breakouts often and may suffer from those breakouts moving to other areas like the back, neck, chest, and buttocks. Scarring and hyperpigmentation is especially likely in this severe stage that can cause permanent damage to the skin. The appearance of cysts have the highest possibility of disfiguring the skin.

The History of Amber’s Amazing Benefits

Amber is fossilized resin that can be dated back to prehistoric times – as far as 50 million years ago. Everything in life has a use and a function so naturally, the benefits of resin would be used from the amber trees themselves to stay strong and prevent getting infected or injured due to its antibiotic powers. This neat finding was later discovered by people and for centuries, it has been used as a remedy for pain relief, boost the immune system, and enhance jumpstarting your body back to it's functional operation. It has long served as an embalming substance, having both antimicrobial and drying properties. During the Ancient Egyptian period and during wars, many would apply resin on the injured to disinfect their wounds and save their lives. Today, you may even find amber being sold in local pharmacies around the globe, especially in Europe.

To this day, amber’s therapeutic properties are being used and remains to be the center of attention in several scientific studies that indicate its amazing abilities. The soothing and calming effects of amber is released into the bloodstream when the oils from the beads are warmed from the skin. The resin is an electromagnet that produces mass amounts of organic, pure energy that our body uses. This can also equip our body with an added layer of protection from radiation sources such as television, computers, phones, and microwaves.

The highest concentration of amber is found within the cortex, or external later. Looking how resin works at the cellular level had an interesting finding. Succinic acid is a type of amino acid (protein) made in every cell of the body that is capable of aerobic respiration. Fats, carbs, and of course, proteins,
 are then metabolized to be used for energy for the Krebs or citric acid cycle. This explains how amber also the added benefit of has providing energy. This makes it a great remedy for those having issues with stress or sleeping too.

Skin Products and Harsh Chemicals

We all love taking the best care for our skin, and we always seem to get attracted to ads that promise us certain results that we are looking for. Those words we read while we shop in stores or look online bate and reel many of us to purchase and them regardless of the cost. Although the products advertised does its job by cleansing the skin to help with certain problems, there is another complication that comes with its use. The amount of harmful chemicals added in most skin care products are absorbed by your skin and has the potential to cause damage to your skin even when its production was made to heal your skin. There is also the chance of increasing the number of toxins and carcinogens in your body when your system becomes unable to clear accumulated debris. In this light, there’s the question if skin products do more harm than good, and if there is a better way to get great skin without having to use chemicals.

A Natural Skin Care Routine

Skin care products only contain a certain percent of the beneficial ingredients that you are looking for; the rest is filled with additives and chemicals. Rather than buying a bottle of toxins just to get the fragmental benefits, use the natural products themselves.

Natural products are a cheap, simple, and effective to provide antioxidants, fight UV damage, and build your immune system while healing your skin. Try these natural products on your skin:

The Unwanted Face Fiend 

There isn’t a person in this world who enjoys the struggles of dealing with acne no matter what stage in life they may be. Its presence can be embarrassing for many as well as a recurring nightmare. Many people may feel frustrated when they make attempts to eat better and treat their skin right, but often stop because they see no results. Although it would be nice to have clear skin within a week (granted this rarity can happen for some), simplicity and consistency is key in getting the clear skin you want. Don’t let products that promise a "cure-all" for this trouble fool you. Detoxing your body from the inside and out is the true way to address acne and control your skin.

Detoxing the Skin 

Our skin is the largest organ of the body that serves to protect us. Visibly, we can only see the epidermis of our skin, but we should not forget the role the dermis layer has in the creation and persistence of acne. This deeper layer can take up to 6 weeks to surface, meaning the internal and external changes you make take the same amount of time to show signs of improvement. It may take months for those suffering from a skin condition to notice changes.

  Acne is the result of infected and overstimulated oil glands that are caused by unbalanced hormones as well as digestive, liver, and adrenal function. Eating foods or applying topical products that contribute to an abnormality an any of these can further overstimulate oil-producing glands. Eating foods that aid in the normal function of glands can both prevent and unclog pores. Although there is no such food you much absolutely stay away from, a few known congesting foods to keep in mind are dairy (filled with hormones), refined foods and sweets, and animal fat. Our adrenal glands work in response to stress causing excessive oil production and chemicals that can irritate the skin. Keeping stress in check is easier said than done, but reducing stress can make a remarkable difference for the skin. Our liver serves as an internal detoxifier and our gastrointestinal (GI) system is responsible for providing our body the nutrients it needs while eliminating everything else. Consuming foods that ultimately hinder these processes cause a buildup of toxins in the system and can also cause acne.

Detoxifying Foods for the Body

Overall, it is best to eat foods that is as organic as possible and to eat a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables to aid in nutrient uptake, improved digestion, and elimination of toxins. Take a look at these amazing foods that help restart your system and fight acne from within:

• Fish/fish oil
• Grapefruit
• Garlic
• Asparagus
• Tumeric
• Lemon/Lime
• Beets
• Green tea/White tea
• Sweet potatoes
• Strawberries
• Cayenne Pepper
• Kiwi
• Eggplants
• Tomatoes
• Ginger
• Celery
• Kale

 What is Inflammation Anyway?

The body does a lot of things to protect itself from foreign invaders, and inflammation, which is normal under certain circumstances, is one of them. Inflammation is one of the many chains of reactions the body has when it is under attack that is started by chemicals relaying information to prepare for defense. Yes, inflammation is a needed reaction, but it can become problematic if you have a certain condition or injury that allows it to persist longer than it is welcome. Other times, the body has it completely wrong and winds up attacking itself (autoimmune disorders).

The start of Pain

Inflammation becomes a painful experience when your joints, organs, or blood vessels are inflamed. If it persists long enough, it may turn into conditions such as cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer – all of which pose a risk for pain. Discomfort does not occur due to swelling alone; environmental, internal and external factors may also be involved. For example, if you lack sleep, smoke or are exposed to it, have excessive sun exposure, and eat an unhealthy diet.

Two Ways Ease Swelling and Pain Naturally

Treating pain is different for everyone because not everyone feels pain the same and not everyone has the same type of pain. Curing your discomfort is possible when you create and use a solution that works for you. When you go through pain that lasts for more than a couple of day or have an issue that you will have to deal with for the rest of your life, start to become costly or worse – not as effective because you have grown tolerance to it. There are natural alternatives available you can use aid in treating your pain instead of or in addition to medications you use. 

Baltic Essentials Amber

Amber is made from fossilized resin, and has been use for hundreds of decades as a way to heal injuries and treat pain. Amber may not appear to be special at first glance until you learn it has the ability to ease pain due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Baltic Essentials Hazelwood

Baltic Essentials Hazelwood Necklaces absorb excess acidity from the skin and helps eliminate the abundance of free radicals that lounges within and outside our body.
