Top Tips for Acne Prevention and Improvement.
Acne results from the pores on the skins surface becoming
blocked, the follicles under the pores have a hair and a oil
gland in them, the oil gland is designed to help keep the skin
lubricated, but some times it produces to much oil and that is
when the problems start. The pores may become blocked this can
lead to blackheads and if an infection gets in, to Acne.
So what can we do to help lessen the risk of infection or to
reduce the effects if we should be unfortunate enough to be
infected with Acne.
1.When cleaning your skin use a gentle mild, non-drying soap
there are several on the market including Dove and Neutrogena.
2.Be sure to clean all the dirt or make-up from your skin, but
don't over do it, to much washing can dry your skin out and lead
to even more problems.
3. Be sure to wash your hair every day, an oily scalp or hair
will exacerbate the Acne infection. Comb or fasten your hair
back to keep it away from your face.
4. I know it's a great temptation but avoid trying to squeeze,
or rub the pimples. It can lead to skin scarring and help to
spread the Acne infection.
5. If at all possible don't touch your face with your hands or
fingers unless you know they are clean i.e. you have just washed
then thoroughly.
6. Only use water-based or none pore blocking formula cosmetics
or creams. Be sure to carefully take off your make up at night
and completely clean your skin.
If the above measures don't clear up the infection, it may be
time to try over-the-counter Acne medications. These treatments
are usually applied directly to the skin but make sure your
hands are clean when using them or use a sterile cotton swab to
apply the medication.
This type of medication will normally contain one of the
following ingredients, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or
salicylic acid the amounts are quite small but remember it is
important to read the label and only use them as directed.
They work by killing the bacteria that course acne, and drying
up the excess oil that coursed the problem.
If the Acne pimples are still causing a problem after using this
type of medication, it is time to consult your family doctor or
a dermatologist who can prescribe stronger medications and
explore alternative treatment options with you.
