What is acne? Acne is basically another word for a clogged pore. While your skin sheds
its cells, not all of the dead skin cells flake away. Sometimes they get stuck
on the skin when they mix with your skin?s oils. When this happens, the pore
gets blocked and excess oil and bacteria get stuck in the pore with no way out.
This causes acne, inflamed bumps and blemishes, otherwise known as
pimples.
In order to treat your acne effectively you'll need to exfoliate
the dead skin cells. Having a good skin care regimen is necessary to maintain a
glowing complexion. Take care of your skin by cleansing it regularly. Using an
oil-free cleanser that contains the ingredient salicylic acid. This will help
get rid of pimples. If you already have developed acne, use a acne treatment
that contains benzoyl-peroxide at night. This will help kill the bacteria that
has already gotten itself trapped in your pores.
Using an acne treatment
product with salicylic acid will help your skin more than repeated cleansings.
It will help you gently get rid of your existing acne.
When buying any
new acne treatment, give it a couple of weeks. It usually takes this long to
start seeing actual results. If your acne really hasn?t improved at all, or if
it has gotten noticeably worse over the course of the two weeks you have used the
acne product, it may be time to switch to something else. Make sure before you
switch acne products that you were using the products as directed, meaning the
appropriate number of times a day. If you've tried countless acne remedies and
none seem to be effective, see a dermatologist. A dermatologist will be able to
prescribe an acne treatment that is prescription strength. A dermatologist can
also recommend a more high-tech option to prescription acne cleansers and acne
creams, such as acne light treatments that kill surface bacteria for months. The
downside to these acne treatments is of course the hefty price involved, usually
hundreds, or even over $1,000.
If you have extremely oily skin a
dermatologist might prescibe an oil-control acne medication. One indicator of
oily skin is usually visible, large pores. If you have large pores, your skin is
more acne prone. Seeing a dermatologist for advice on acne treatments is very
beneficial in treating acne.
Visiting a dermatologist can be quite
expensive. Usually your medical insurance will not cover acne treatments. If you
can't afford to see a dermatologist, try using a weekly mud mask that contains
the ingredient sulfur which can help calm acne and broken-out
skin.
Women?s acne problems fluctuate due to monthly hormone surges which
cancause an increase in oil production. Make sure you stick to a regular skin
care routine all the time. Don?t abandon your skin care routine when your skin
looks good and then try to start it up again once a month, once the acne has
already started. Being consistent in your skin care regimen is an important part
of treating acne.
