How To Solve Acne Woes

August 26, 2008 by admin 

Many teenagers suffer from acne. Some of them will not suffer from acne when they get older, but it is not always the case. If adults still suffer from acne, they may feel self-conscious. It can be quite distressing to live with acne. For ladies who put make-up to cover up their acne, it may actually make the situation worse. Several reasons for adult acne include stress and hormonal problems. Sometimes, medications to resolve these problems may worsen the situation.

What exactly causes acne?
It occurs when the hair follicle or the pore is clogged. When you exfoliate your skin, some parts of your skin cells remain on the skin and this results in a blockage. Skin cells block the pores and sebum is trapped as a result. As a result, bacteria will build up and inflammation of the skin occurs.

How can we solve the problem?
Some people put tea bags on their faces. Some put toothpaste. Some scratch and pick their faces, leaving awful scares. There are many unorthodox treatments that may cause greater problems.

A lot of products found in the market help to reduce acne in adolescents and adults.The most common treatment is retinoids that is available in Vitamin A. Many over-the-counter products are quite good. Retin-A is highly demanded in acne prescription medication.

How do the medications work?
They remove the stickiness in the skin cell that causes the exfoliated cells to remain trapped. Exfoliating your skin on a more frequent basis will prevent sebum from building up and bacteria from remaining there. There are many acne products you can use to unclog blocked pores as they reach the sebaceous matter. You need to find a suitable cleansing product for your type of skin. Using cleansers on a regular basis will see benefits eventually as your skin slowly becomes blemish-free.
