What Is Adult Acne and How to Treat It Posted: 06 Jun 2013 04:18 AM PDT Overview Acne is a condition of the skin that causes pimples or zits to emerge and they include blackheads, whiteheads and patches of inflamed skin. Acne mainly occurs when pores on the skin’s surface get clogged. The clogging of these pores will lead to a build up of dirt, dead skin, oil and eventually bacteria sets in. The result is irritation or infection of the skin which causes an eruption of acne. It can also be caused by various hormones in the body. Acne is most common among teenagers but is sometimes found to affect adults and children as well. Knowing how to treat adult acne is therefore important because it may save you the trouble of seeing a dermatologist. Causes of adult acne Some people tend to wonder what causes adult acne yet their teenage years are behind them. The answer to this is there are several factors that can cause the condition in adults. One of them is pregnancy which causes the amount of various hormones in the body to change drastically and one of these hormones is progesterone. Another cause of acne is the use of inappropriate cosmetics which not only irritate the skin but can also lead to bacteria infection of the pores. The use of birth control pills and steroids can also cause acne to emerge in adults because they interfere with hormones. There are also several myths regarding what causes adult acne and most of them have never been proven by science. One of them is the belief that eating chocolate and oily foods can lead to an acne attack. This has not yet been proven so never assume but instead consult a dermatologist or doctor to establish the exact cause of your acne. Adult acne treatment Finding adult acne treatment can be a bit tricky at times because most of the remedies available are designed for teenagers. This means that trial and error is sometimes the best way to go about it and it can take some time. The best thing however is to try and establish the cause of the condition before trying out different remedies. Some of the general remedies that can be used include the use of gentle cleansers to cleanse the skin at least twice a day. Strong gels and abrasive cleansers should be avoided because they may end up worsening the situation. Creams and lotions can also be used to clear up pores and unblock any clogged ones. There are also some oral antibiotics that can be prescribed to help eliminate bacteria in the skin. Acne can be hereditary so trying to find the cause may seem futile and also trying to find an adult acne treatment in this case will be an uphill task. Physical characteristics such as skin type can also be a contributing factor because people with naturally oily skin are more likely to get acne than those with dry skin. Allergies can also cause acne and so it is important to know what foods give you an allergic reaction and avoid them.

Treating Teen Skin Problems Naturally Posted: 07 Jun 2013 11:45 PM PDT Acne is a very common skin problem among teenagers which is largely caused by the hormonal changes taking place in their bodies. Acne is characterized by pimples on the face, chest and back but the degree of the problem and how long it lasts varies from person to person. Most teens find it an embarrassing condition and will do whatever it takes to get rid of them including the use of medicine and chemicals. The result of this isn’t always positive and the chemicals used may end up making the situation worse than it already is. This however need not be so because there are multiple natural remedies for acne which can be used. Get rid of acne: The first tip on how to naturally get rid of acne is keeping your hands away from your face. Human hands come into contact with so many dirty objects and so touching your face often can lead to the transfer of bacteria which cause acne. It is however very difficult to go for long without unconsciously touching your face and it is for this reason that we should keep our hands clean. Regular washing of hands with antibacterial soap is an indirect natural acne solution. Constantly touching and rubbing pimples on the face only makes things worse because it further irritates the skin. Drink enough water: Drinking enough water every day is important for the skin because it keeps it hydrated and healthy. On average, one should drink a minimum of eight or more cups a day depending on how active you are. If you are involved in several physical activities which make you sweat then you need to consume more water to compensate for what you loose as you sweat. The fact that teenagers are generally very active makes it important for them to drink lots of water. This is an ideal natural acne solution because it not only prevents acne, but it also promotes good overall health. Eat healthy: There are several recipes for making natural facial cleansers from home at a very low cost. The items used are cheap everyday items and so you do not have to go out of your way to buy them. One of these natural remedies for acne is made by mashing strawberries and mixing them with yogurt to make a facial cleanser which is 100% natural. It is a lot safer to use these home made remedies rather than the natural off shelf products because you can never be sure about the contents of what you buy. You should make sure that you eat enough vegetable and fruits. This will help you to obtain more vitamins and minerals. These are very helpful in bettering the condition of your body. Besides, some vegetables and fruits contain enough antioxidants that will boost your immune system and help in fighting bacteria as well as viruses that cause these skin diseases. If you apply the above tips, you will be able to heel teen skin infection naturally. Related posts: |

What You Should Know About Human Growth Hormones Posted: 11 Jun 2013 02:45 PM PDT One thing that has bedeviled human beings since the inception of man here is the problem of the commencement and termination of life. When it comes to the issue of commencement, man has a very big and distinct role to play in this for there can never be such without copulation between man and woman. But the aspect that has eluded the understanding of man is the termination of life otherwise called death. Here, it is one of the things man is not willing at all to experience, but still comes in a manner that makes it even worse. It comes in ways and time that are never known to man and man has no remedy to it. This is the reason why man has been seeking every possible means of prolonging this life and avoiding death. In as much as man has tried to slow the process of aging which it is believed leads to the most conventional death, the accidental and unconventional type of death cannot be controlled. This whole issue has also led to a lot of controversies, understandings and misunderstandings when it comes to the issue of the human growth hormone. What is growth hormone? The growth hormone is one of the numerous hormones in the body and it has the specific job of enhancing and developing the growth of man through the increase both in size and mass of the body muscles. It is one of the compounds in the human body that propels growth and used in the treatment of people with growth deficiency and other health needs. This is a sort of organic substance that is pea sized and is situated at the pituitary glands of the base of the brain. The human growth hormone comes with age. It is produced in the highest quantity in the human body during the adolescent and youthful stages, and this is why the greatest growth and strength in us is by this stage. The next thing is that the level of release of this in your body determines how fast and big you grow, as it is largely responsible for growth in the body. Human growth in food supplement The human growth hormone as a food supplement has also been shrouded in controversy as the aging have claimed that it can help them get back to the youthful years. When we grow old, we develop old and wrinkly epidermis, decrease in the lean muscle, diminished sexual fascination and spare tires. But the human growth hormone though not yet proven and certified beyond reasonable doubts might be very useful in restoring the original sheen of the skin color, easy creation of muscle mass, raising the occurrence of bones ending osteoporosis, clearing up of problems of sleep and memory loss etc. Incomplete medical research has shown that this is good to the body of the aging. But this test has not been concluded and reliance on this might be very dangerous. These hormones no doubt can be gotten from the supplements, but in any case, it is good to note that the natural is always the best. Side effects of human growth supplements The supplements work by making the pituitary gland to generate more of this instead of injecting the hormone from outside. However, this very useful and all important hormone has its own bad side. When there is an excess injection of this into the body, it might cause such disorders as pituitary tumor, diabetes type 2 or even pituitary gigantism. All these will require some huge treatment or even surgery to be arrested and corrected. That is why the use of this is supposed to be done under some medical inspection by an expert.
