Top 5 ways to get rid of acne
Acne is a problem that affects a large amount of people across
the world. Contrary to popular misconceptions it does not
discriminate completely against age or sex. It's true that it
does seem to be closely associated with hormones and people who
are suffering from high hormone levels and for this reason teens
are more likely to develop acne than any other age group.
However, over a quarter of adults will also develop acne at some
point in their adult lives. Adult acne can cause depression and
social anxiety so treating it can be vital to sufferers. There
have been many different treatments for acne in the past but
many have failed to regularly and consistently get rid of acne.
1- There are a number of cleansing lotions and moisturizers that
can be bought over the counter in chemists or supermarkets.
These have a varied degree of success and some will work better
than others. Unfortunately they can be expensive, especially if
you need to try several before you have any success.
2- Antibiotics can work well with some patients, but the body
quickly builds up an immunity to most antibiotics rendering them
useless. Also, while antibiotics might work to get rid of acne
they can also produce undesirable side effects in users. You may
become more light sensitive or suffer from dizziness or nausea.
3- Acne seems to be closely related to increased levels of
hormones. For this reason many women suffer from acne at the
same time each month during their menstrual cycle. A doctor may
prescribe a birth control pill that balances hormone levels and
therefore works effectively to get rid of acne.
4- Vitamin derivatives and nutritional supplements work very
well to get rid of acne as long as you buy the right ones.
Vitamins A, C and E as well as Iron work well in the fight
against acne and are readily available from most grocery stores.
Some of these supplements and derivatives can have some notable
side effects. The gels and creams will make you more sensitive
to light so you should always combine them with sun screen.
5- Short treatments of intense light have been proven to be very
effective in helping your get rid of acne. usually conducted
over a four week period many patients have shown excellent
progress, especially when compared to medicines and other
techniques.
