Acne Removal
Get rid of your acne as soon as possible! Because acne won’t get you any date, that’s for sure. Teenagers abhor it, and adults sufferers don’t embrace it either. As most teenage girls will attest, blemishes and pimples arise at the most inopportune moments, which can be anytime on any given day for them. Acne affects self esteem, self worth, and self identity, and can turn a once outgoing person into a recluse.
Exactly why 99.9% people getting acne and a few exceptional people don't is not fully understand. However, several factors are known to be the causes are:
- imbalance hormonal activity such as puberty in young people and menstrual cycles in women.
- stress, which increase body's hormones.
- increase oil production by sebaceous glands.
- diet, but most evidence today suggests that hormones and stress are more likely to be the culprits.
There are different types of acne that occur on the body, and not just on the face, which is the most common. Acne, commonly known as pimples, zits, whiteheads, or blackheads, start to form in hair follicles or pores when the oil or sebum is trapped beneath the skin surface causing bacteria to form. Acne can be mild or severe, which is called acne vulgaris, and can cause disfiguration and severe scarring. It’s important to keep hands off, and if you must, wash the area and your hands first. If you are successful in expelling any of the gooey ingredients, be careful not to spread it to surrounding areas where it can cause another eruption.
To pop or not to pop? It is tempting, because you just want it to go away. You want to remove it immediately. Popping it will not always cause scarring, but only pop if it’s ripe and ready! Otherwise, the skin can become more irritated if you continue to pick at it, then a scab will form and more bacteria has been spread as well, leaving you with a bigger mess than you had to begin with! If you must pop, you should wash your face with warm water and cleanser and remove all makeup, and of course, wash your hands too! Try to avoid using your fingernails because dirt can be trapped beneath which will be introduced to the open skin when popping and spread germs. Use a tissue to apply pressure or a tool specifically designed for this purpose (available at most cosmetic supply retailers). Stop after pus has been expelled and if nothing comes out, this will just create further irritation. Just be careful when removing acne, especially the facial area. You don't want to leave any scar afterward.
There are many different acne product treatments available, some work and some don’t. If acne is severe it would be wise to consult a skin dermatologist, who can prescribe a acne treatment plan to lessen the number of outbreaks, and subsequent scarring. The most common ingredient in most acne products is 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which can be very effective for mild to moderate acne in combination with regular gentle cleansing of the skin. There are also many websites dedicated to various acne treatments that provide a wealth of information for the acne sufferer. For those who have severe cases, antibiotics or Retin-A may also be added to the treatment regimen.
Whatever type of acne you suffer from, no matter if it is mild or severe, it is possible to have clean skin. Start now and send acne on its way, forever! But you have to start NOW. Don't wait til the last minute, the sooner
you start the better.
