Acne – Acne and Skin Care

The reason why a person develops acne has little to do with their skin care practices. However, once a person does have acne, how they take care of their skin is essential to its treatment.

In fact, washing and scrubbing the skin has little to do with why a person develops acne. The effects of scrubbing is that it roughens and dries out the skin. In fact, the effect of scrubbing can worsen the skin by exposing lower layers which then have to develop protective coats of oil and dermis. This takes time for this protective coat to develop, which leaves the skin exposed to bacteria. Our skin is our best defense against all types of infectious pathogens, and scrubbing a layer off does not help the situation.

What is recommended is a softer and more gentle washing. And, one should use a mild cleanser.

While is has been recognized that one’s own natural skin oil plays a major role in the development of acne, completely eliminating your natural skin oil is not the answer. Your natural skin oil keeps your skin moist and without it would lead to little cracks in your skin which is the doorway for bacteria to enter.

Thus, any type of astringents that are used should be done so sparingly, and all over the counter treatments need to be used according to their directions.

A challenge that men face is shaving. Even electric shavers can lead to a small cut when it goes over a blemished area. It is important to be very careful around tender areas, and to use a softener gel.

When shaving with a razor it is important not to backshave and go against the direction of hair growth. Ingrown hairs and pores that are clogged do produce acne, so it is wise to soften the hair with warm water and soap before shaving, and shave in the same direction of the hair growth.

As for women, most makeup these days do not clog the pores, and yet skin can be irritated with too much foundation. Look for “non-comedogenic” labels in your purchase of makeup.

At all times, keeping the skin pores open so that your skin’s natural oil has movement and allows the shedding of dead skin cells is the key.

An anti-bacterial lotion can help prevent acne, but it does little to treat it. As well, over medicating your skin will clog your skins pores, so read and follow the directions.

Acne, pimples, zits Go away

Pimples or acne are tiny skin lesions or inflammations of the skin. They are commonly caused by clogged or infected pores. They may appear as deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) on the face, neck, chest, back and sometimes shoulders.
Severe acne can affect many facets of a person’s life, causing a great deal of embarrassment and stress. Some severe forms of acne like acne cysts may rupture and cause scars that can result in psychological effects on the sufferer. Having skin full of pimples and zits may significantly limit one’s social life. Although acne is not considered to be a life threatening disorder, the psychological impact of acne can be quite profound as it affects the most visible parts of your body.
If your acne condition is severe it can cause disfiguring and require years of treatment. In such cases seeking the help of a qualified dermatologist will be your best option.
Causes of acne
The cause of pimples is unknown. The process by which a pimple develops is highly intricate. While we do know that a pore collapses on itself and blocks sebum (oil) from escaping, we do not fully understand why this process takes place in one sebaceous gland versus another.
But the causes of adult acne and teen acne may include the following:

  • Hormones
  • Diet
  • Evolutionary biology
  • Vitamin deficiency
  • Stress

Possible measures you can take to prevent pimples are:

  • Relax regularly for a certain period of time. Your body restores and refreshes skin cells while you are relaxing. Teenagers are notorious for not getting rest but it is essential in helping to prevent pimples.
  • Do not squeeze or pick at pimples because this has the risk of producing a more severe infection.
  • After you exercise take a shower so that the sweat does not contribute to clogging your pores and producing another pimple outbreak.
  • Wear clean white t-shirts to help keep pimple off your back. The white t-shirts tend to absorb the excess oils in your skin and will help to prevent pimple on your back at least.
  • Before going to bed, clean off any makeup. Again, the key here is to keep your pores clear of oil and bacteria and help prevent pimple outbreaks. After washing, you can use a cleaning solution on your skin containing what is known as Salicylic Acid.
