to Acen
Acne is a common skin condition that is not restricted to any age
group or sex. Acne may appear for any length of time. But one should
not forget that Acne is not a disease and can surely be cured!
Conventional acne medications may be topical-applied directly to the
skin, or they may be systemic-taken internally. Unlike medication
treatments, the effects of acne surgery are usually more immediate.
An acne condition can be improved and eventually controlled, monitored
or improved by a professional skin care program, or medical care
combined with the home care program. Acne medications and antibiotics
must be taken for several months for any improvement to appear in an
acne condition if the case is severe. Many non-prescription acne
products can control milder cases of acne without medical care.
Only recently, a laser treatment that causes temporary heat damage to
oil glands, which may reduce the oil supply, was developed for acne
cure. Not only this, several herbal remedies are also recommended for
acne cure. Herbs such as chamomile, lavender, juniper, bergamot,
dandelion root, and burdock root can be used to reduce toxicity and
improve the overall condition of the skin.
While trying to cure acne, one should not forget that skin treated
with alcohol, Benzol Peroxide, ether, acetone and other harsh
ingredients may prematurely age the skin and leave the former acne
sufferer with wrinkles and a grayish, sickly and tired skin tone.
Whether the acne sufferer chooses to use medications or not, skin care
must be used. Some of the popular products in the market that can
prevent and cure acne include:-Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid,
Retinoid, Antibiotics, Oral Contraceptives, Anti-Androgens and
Isotretinoin (Accutane).
A good basic skin regimen just consists of Cleansing twice daily with
a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash. An alternative for those who are allergic
to benzoyl peroxide is 2% salicylic acid. Use of a light skin
moisturizer and an oil-free makeup is need of the hour!
One should give dry skin extra care, being sure to wash and rinse
their face thoroughly and using products especially made for dry skin.
One should follow some of the important routine things like regular
exercise, drinking plenty of water, use of safe cosmetics, having a
healthy diet and following a healthy skin regimen. Avoid getting over-
stressed; even "good" stress can trigger internal chemical responses
that result in acne and not to forget drinking lots and lots of water
and add more fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts to your regular
diet.
