Acne Tips Solution: April 2009

Saturday, April 11, 2009

Adults know the importance of washing their skin regularly. We're told from an early age that if we do not wash properly we can get acne. Unfortunately, we aren't told the 'proper' way to wash our faces. We're only told: "wash your face." If you're tired of struggling with adult acne, try this regime to see if it works for you!

Evening:
You've had a long work day. You put your hands to your own face several times. Your make-up has worn thin. You feel tired, hot, sweaty, and exhausted. You walk through the door. Perhaps you don't even wash your face right away. Maybe you'll start making supper immediately for the kids. In order to fight adult acne, you need to take better care of your face. Take time out for you! Even if it is just a few moments:

1) Cleanse your skin: Never use cold water or hot water for that matter. Always wash your face with luke warm water. Hot and Cold water , when not blended - can cause broken capillaries in your face. There's no need to add soap. As most soaps include fragrance and chemicals that will only dry out your skin, making it appear very dull. Some cleansers even contain oil. This oil will dissolve natural oils in your skin, but their residue will clog pores, promoting excessive bacteria buildup in the pores.

2) Moisturize: Use a fragrance free moisturizer to help your skin look softer. A moisturizer will not prevent adult acne, but it will help your skin maintain a youthful appearance. This is especially important during the winter months. Skin can easily become dull and weathered-looking without moisturizer. The moisturizer you choose should be friendly to your skin! Chemicals and artificial extracts offer nothing to your skin. Try an all natural moisturizer which contains real extracts and ingredients.

3) Attack the root cause of the acne, which lies in the buildup of oils secreted in the pores. DHT is now known to be the big culprit in promoting oil buildup in the skin, which attracts dirt and bacteria and leads to clogged pores, resulting in blackheads and acne. Using acne products designed to reduce DHT (and thus the associated oil buildup) will clear the problem before it starts.

Morning:

1)Start the day off by washing the moisturizer off of your face. Just because you can not feel it, doesn't mean it's no longer there. Your skin will absorb most of the moisturizer, but you still need to remove excess dirt and oil. Prevention is just as important as keeping adult acne at bay.

2) Need an invigorating jump start for your day? Daily exfoliating. While this may not seem like an important step to preventing adult acne, it is! Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and surface dirt. It also helps unclog pores which have trapped dirt and become clogged. Your skin will feel and look very refreshing each day.

3) Use a DHT reducing product on the areas where acne exists. While reducing DHT you are effectively reducing the amount of oil created and thus freeing pores from excess oil, dirt and bacteria.

Tips to Alleviate Acne Breakouts

If you suffer from acne, there are several skin care steps you can do to alleviate the outbreaks and help prevent future outbreaks. This article will give you information that will help you whether you are teenager or an adult suffering from acne.

One of the main daily routines to help with acne breakouts is washing your face or outbreak areas twice a day. It is vitally important to keep your skin clean. The way and the products you use to wash your face is also important.

Wash your face GENTLY at least twice a day and after any strenuous exercise that has caused perspiration. Do not SCRUB your face or skin. This actually can cause more harm than good and can even inflame your pimples.

Use a very mild soap like Neutrogena. Do not use anything that makes your skin feel overly dry. It is not necessary to use an astringent, yet if you do, only use it where your skin is very oily. If you visit a dermatologist, he/she should be able to recommend the best soap for your particular acne symptoms.

Do not excessively handle your skin. Your hands have bacteria on them and can cause the acne to get even worse. In other words, DO NOT pick at your pimples. I know that it is very hard not to do, yet it is very good advice. Only a doctor, with special instruments can effectively "pick" at pimples in a way that will not cause more inflammation and excessive scarring.

Use a special sunscreen that is at least spf15 and is non-comedogenic, non-oily, which means it does not clog pores. A good sunscreen for acne sufferers is Neutrogena SPF 45 Sunblock with Parsol 1789. You should always try to avoid tanning and sunburn because both could cause acne pimples and acne scars to become even more noticeable.

Shaving with acne can be tricky. It may be wise to invest in a good electric razor. Alternatively, if you use a safety razor, make sure you use a good shaving cream that really softens the hair follicles and skin. Try not to nick the acne pimples.

If you choose to use base makeup, it is recommended you choose a makeup that is oil free (and again) non-comedogenic. There are acne cover-ups that are available that also have acne medication. One product that is my favorite is Clinique's acne cover-up. It can cover up even the worst outbreaks.

Taking these few extra steps with acne skin care can make a world of difference in your flare-ups.

How Does Oily Skin Affect Acne?

By: Louise Forrest

Do you have acne? This affliction can be a rather traumatic one if left untreated. Our appearance, as we all know, can have such a pertinent effect on our confidence, or lack there of. How is your skin looking these days? It's certainly no rarity to be tormented by acne, but you should never let this skin disorder get the best of you. It's time to stand up tall, and demand your life back. With the oodles of resources at our disposal, there's no reason why we can't strive to be acne free. While proper skin care and reliable treatments are crucial in getting rid of blemishes, many people overlook the other things. It's not just about your exterior, folks. We have to consider what goes on inside us as well. This brings me to the topic of acne diets. What do you eat?

You may or may not have come across the subject of acne diets. This pertains to what you consume and how it affects your skin. I recall a few winters ago I was sitting in the doctor's office with my wife. She was there for a back pain assessment. I had severely chapped lips at the time and asked her if she had some lip balm in her purse. The doctor looked at me with a smirk and said, "You know, the condition of your lips actually relates to your diet." Huh? She informed me that consuming the proper nutrients and fluids on a regular basis would prevent my lips from being chapped. This baffled me. However, these days I have adopted a more nutritious diet and refrain from using lip balm. What do you know; I never have chapped lips anymore. It's bizarre how some things work. This concept also applies to our skin. Did you know that the food you eat excretes back through your pores? Well, substances from them do anyway. This gives whole new meaning to the phrase, you are what you eat. This is why acne diets may be important for some individuals. Foods high in fat and grease are known for causing breakouts. I'm talking about fast foods, especially.

When it comes to acne diets, foods that are great for your skin include, fruits and vegetables, organic products, non-processed items, and of course water. I highly recommend that you give acne diets a shot if pimples are giving you trouble. This should certainly better your complexion if you stick to it. For more information on acne diets, you can simply hop online.

Acne Free in 3 Days - Scam or Real Cure?

By Forest Sun

Acne free in 3 days? That surely sounds like a bold claim to me. To be honest, I didn't believe it. Acne has been bothering me for years but this guy named Chris Gibson promises that his acne treatment will clear acne in just 3 days? Give me a break. That's not possible. I tried many products before. Some of them work to some extent. But certainly none works in 3 days! Don't blame me for my skepticism. There are too many scams and over hyped stuff on the market nowadays. I need to be cautious not to be ripped off. I won't believe it unless I try it out and it gives me the result it claims. Though in doubt, I won't want to miss out on something that might be the cure for my acne. I visited the Acne Free in 3 days website. I read everything there carefully and decided to give it a try. The price seems reasonable and they have risk-free 60 day money back guarantee. If it doesn't work for me, I can always have my money back. It won't hurt to try it out.

I read it through first. Then I followed the instructions. Well, the detoxing process takes some serious discipline to follow. No it's not difficult, rather it's pretty strict instead. It really requires you put some efforts to follow the instructions literally, the reward is well worth it though. Yes it works for me as it has worked for many other people.

I can now honestly and confidently say the methods work for mild or moderate acne (my case). I'm not sure if it works for a severe/cystic acne though.

If you suffer from mild or moderate acne, Acne Free in 3 Days is certainly a good option for you. Want to say good bye to your acne and the embarrassment caused by acne? Give Acne Free in 3 Days a try.

5 Ways To Deal With Acne

By: James Briggs

One of the most common but devastating skin problems is acne. Contrary to what many people believe, acne can happen to anyone and at any point in their lives. In other words, it's not an age or gender thing.

Acne is often associated with high hormone levels or hormonal imbalance. This is why it's not surprising to see teenagers usually developing acne. However, teens aren't the only ones who have to deal with this problem. In fact, a large percentage of adults also develop acne at one time or another in their adult lives.

Acne can cause social anxiety and depression for those suffering from it. This is why it's vital to treat this problem to avoid such unnecessary pain. Although there's no single best way to get rid of acne, here are a few pointers to help you fight off this annoying problem.

#1 Use Over the Counter Products: Today there are several soaps and moisturizers that you can buy over the counter at the local pharmacy or supermarket. Some products work better than others and it's usually a trial and error process before you can settle on one that works best for you. The only downside here is that these can be quite expensive.

#2 Antibiotics: Some patients react very well to antibiotics, however in most cases, the body becomes immune to these medicines making them ineffective. But the good news is that antibiotics work fast to clear acne, although you may have to bear mild side-effects depending on the type of medicine.

#3 Try the Pill: Studies have shown that Acne is closely related to high hormone levels. This is why it's not uncommon to see women suffer from acne around the time of their menstrual periods each month. Many women on birth control pills, to help balance hormone levels, have been pleasantly surprised when their acne clears up.

#4 Nutritional Supplements: One of the best ways to get rid of acne is to take nutritional supplements and Vitamin derivatives that target acne directly. The essential Vitamins A, C and E along with minerals like Iron help to increase blood flow, improve the quality of your skin and fight acne as well. You can probably find these at your local grocery store or health food store.

#5 See the Light: One of the latest treatments for acne involves exposure to intense light for short sessions. These sessions are usually conducted over a period of four weeks. Many patients have shown great progress under this form of treatment as compared to other methods and medicines.

By trying some of the above solutions, and washing and moisturizing your skin regularly, your acne will eventually go away. So if you have it now, don't worry. Just keep the above methods in mind and try any one or more that you feel will do the job for you and enjoy an acne free life!
