Top Tips for Acne Prevention and Improvement.
By Roger Overanout
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.
