The Best Weapon in The War Against Acne

Some of us are at war. The battlefield is our face, where an invading army (or even just a sole assassin) has taken up camp in order to ruin the scenery - our beauty. These unwanted soldiers are better known as pimples, zits, spots, blemishes or comedones. But we have a battle plan, and word is spreading because the tide of the war is turning in our favour. With this plan, and our secret weapon, victory against this menace is achievable.

STEP 1. Know your enemy and attack their home base

Do a recon mission. Find out the likely cause of your invasion. Attack accordingly. Perhaps you have too much sugar in your diet (and remember that carbohydrates are sugars too!). Cut it back. Maybe you've changed medications. See your doctor. Still smoking? Quit or smoke less. Under a lot of stress? Change your situation or take up meditation. It may not be one of these - scour the internet and learn about the different causes of acne - one may strike a chord.

STEP 2. Keep it clean

Keep your battlefield clean. Don't leave any dirt around for the enemy to hide behind. Cleanse daily with an oil-free cleanser such as Active Face Cleanser, and exfoliate every 2-3 days to ensure that dead skin cells are not left lying around to clog up your pores. Wash your pillowcase and towel regularly. Keep your hair away from your face. Avoid touching your face during the day.

STEP 3. Unleash the secret weapon

We're not going nuclear, we're going natural. They'll never see it coming. Blemish Gel can be applied directly on to the invading forces to inspire them to flee, without damaging or drying your skin (yes, oily skin can become dehydrated!). The blueprints for the weapon are as follows:

ac.net™ - A botanically derived ingredient that targets 4 areas that lead to acne: excess oil, excess shedding of skin cells, bacteria, and inflammation

Hyaluronic acid - A super hydrator used in the top moisturisers around the world

MSM - A natural anti-inflammatory which softens the skin and helps slough off dead cells

Organic aloe vera - Helps to regenerate healthy cells

Vitamin B3 (Nicatinamide) - An anti-inflammatory which helps to kill bacteria, strengthen the skin barrier and work towards anti-ageing

Vitamin B3 (Panthenol) - Helps to break down sebum (when your natural oils form a plug and block the pores)

Vitamin E - Moisturising, anti-oxidant

Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) - Helps to heal and control breakouts

THE BEAUTY, HEALING AND RESTORATIVE MINERAL

MSM is known to be highly effective in joint health, muscle recovery, sports nutrition, immune support, and healthy ageing. 

What is MSM?

MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane or Dimethyl Sulfone) is an organic sulphur compound found in all living organisms. It is the purest and most bio-available form of sulphur, one of the essential minerals crucial to life and the regeneration of cells. MSM has traditionally been taken as a food supplement to increase joint health for flexibility and mobility, as well as for strong hair and nails, beautiful skin, and other health conditions from leaky gut syndrome to mild arthritis, osteoporosis, and psoriasis. 

Why do we need to supplement with MSM?

Natural MSM is largely destroyed when our food is processed and can be lost entirely when foods and ingredients are stored for a long period of time. MSM bonds with moisture, so any food which undergoes any sort of dehydration will lack its natural MSM.

For these reasons, and because MSM is so critical for almost every athletic function in active bodies, it is important to consistently supplement with a quality MSM nutritional supplement 

How does MSM work at the cellular level?

Collagen is the principal structural protein holding the skin together and is largely responsible for the skin’s mechanical properties.  Sulphur is integral to the production of collagen and elastin, and MSM is a source of organic Sulphur. 

Approximately half of the body's sulphur content is found in the skin, muscles, cartilage and bones.

How can MSM benefit your skin, hair and nails?

  • Protecting collagen against collagen degrading enzymes
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin production
  • Boosting the natural production of Glutathione, one of the body's key anti-oxidants ... as an anti-oxidant, MSM will boost the immune system and reduce pigmentation and cellular damage
  • Acting as an anti-inflammatory agent by reducing the production of cytokines (compounds that cause inflammation)
  • Maintaining skin cell membrane flexibility and permeability, promoting an efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products to help keep skin clear
  • Helping to maintaining the body's pH balance

How can MSM help with joint health and support? 

MSM has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a natural alternative to help reduce pain from mild arthritis and osteoarthritis related symptoms.

How does MISMO MSM help with exercise recovery?

Our muscles, skin, bones, organs, and connective tissue all rely on sulphur and without it our bodies can not function properly.  MSM is an important nutritional supplement for anyone living an active lifestyle, as it delivers the sulphur and methyl nutrients which are key to the structure of healthy cells in muscle and connective tissue.

MSM is valued by bodybuilders, strength, and power athletes because it supports healthy and flexible cell structures and can help reduce the inflammation of muscle tissue and can offset muscle soreness and joint pain caused by inflammation.

Where is MSM found and how is it manufactured?

MSM is found in the fluid and tissue of all living organisms. It is present in a variety of foods including raw vegetables, eggs, milk and fish, but is lost through cooking and food processing. One of the richest natural supplies is pine trees and cabbage.

Although MSM is abundant in nature, even the richest natural sources only provide MSM in the level of several parts per million. Commercial extraction of MSM from trees is not possible so a process is undertaken which parallels the natural oxidation that occurs in the marine atmosphere and produces MSM that is chemically identical to that found in nature.

Click here for a detailed explanation of how MSM is manufactured.

How pure is MISMO MSM?

Every batch of our MSM is rigourously tested by an independent laboratory to ensure the highest quality, minimum 99.99% pure MSM.

    How much MISMO MSM should I be taking?

    An average dose is between 2 to 6 grams daily. Most people take a teaspoon (approx. 4 grams) daily. If more relief is needed, increase the dose slowly. Can be taken in water or juice after breakfast, although there are no rules as to when you should take MSM.

    A word of caution ... some people find if they take MSM late in the day, after 4 or 5pm, they do not sleep as well, as it energises them. This is not a general occurrence but worth mentioning.

    WARNINGS: If taking Warfarin or strong blood thinners, do not take MSM without your doctor's approval. Not to be taken by children without a health professional's advice.  MSM can also interfere with the accuracy of the blood test for liver enzymes by sometimes producing false positive results. It is recommended you cease taking MSM at least 4 days before these blood tests. You can resume after the test.

      Mismo MSM is a game changer!

      Over the past 7 years, I have had significant issues with calcium build up in my shoulders. This has meant numerous trips to hospital, X-rays and day surgeries so that they can put needles into my shoulders and dig out the calcium build up and this happened many times. The last time, they advised me that the calcium build up had become too hard to remove and so I was forced to take immune system suppressants and anti-inflammatory medication to relieve my pain. Sleeping at night was an issue, I couldn’t lift my arm above my head, my knees were becoming a problem and taking the prescription medication was also a huge issue as I started to bruise very easily as the tablets that I was taking were thinning my skin and blood unnecessarily.
      My wife found MSM online and what a game changer. I was taking numerous tablets and painkillers every day and now 3 months into taking 2 x teaspoons of MSM every morning, I have stopped taking all the medication that I have been taking for years. I mean NO other medication at all….
      I feel more awake during the day, my work load & daily activities have increased, I get on my motor bike and do 5 hour rides traveling more than 400 km’s regularly, I do 5 km walks daily and have never felt better at now 63 years of age.
      Thank you Mismo as your Ultra-Pure Distilled MSM has definitely made my life so much better.

      great

      love MSM. Got my husband to take it over a six months period a few years ago as he had bursitis of the shoulder.
      After about 4 months it had gone so he kept taking it to make sure. He couldnt believe it but it fixed the problem. We are both back on it again now just for general health. Feel great on it and it has improved my dry skin.
