• Chamomile tea -- is used as a sedative. Essential oils derived from the plant had anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-microbial activity. When externally applied, it is useful for sore skin and eczema.
Acne develops as a result of blockages in follicles. Hyperkeratinization and formation of a plug of keratin and sebum (a microcomedo) is the earliest change. Enlargement of sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum production occur with increased androgen (DHEA-S) production at adrenarche. The microcomedo may enlarge to form an open comedo (blackhead) or closed comedo (whitehead). Increased sebum production provides an environment for the overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes. Bacterial overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes can cause inflammation, leading to inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, or nodules) in the dermis around the microcomedo or comedo, which may result in scarring.
Salicylic acid - effective in eliminating bacteria and excess oils on the skin. It is used in many skin care products and is proven to be a good treatment for blackheads.
