Acne is not caused by French fries, or chocolate, or lemonade. You don’t inherit acne from your patents like freckles and red hair. However, research bears out that acne does “run” in families and may have to do familiar life style such as cleansing. Harsh chemicals and soaps are not the answer. Acne sufferers should use a gentle cleanser that will kill bacteria and clean deeply under the surface area of the skin. Additionally, cleansers should be non-irritating and contain natural ingredients, have anti-inflammatories, antioxidants and moisturizers.
Medication containing hormones may contribute to acne. Fluctuating hormonal levels are the primary cause of acne. Puberty, menopause, and pregnancy are all events when hormones soar and ebb. They are also the periods when people use hormonal medication to relieve accompanying symptoms.
Cosmetics can make matters worse by taking one minor breakout to a full blown case of acne. Too often people are allergic to many acne products on the market. Allergies will worsen the redness, rashy pimples and soreness.
Picking or popping whiteheads and pimples will cause the bacteria to go deep into the skin and spread the problems to a larger area. Picking will also cause scaring that will last a lifetime. A regime of cleansing and exfoliating will produce a far better outcome. Exfoliating will heal existing pimples and work to prevent new ones by penetrating pores and eliminating skin cell build-up. Also, picking and popping blemishes leaves skin an angry red, swollen, and sore, all qualities an exfoliation lotion will resolve. Spot treatment is a valuable tool against daily breakouts. Murad, for example, has developed a spot treatment product, which is formulated with natural ingredients to promote healing and reduce inflammation while fighting dryness. Users have found that, “A little goes a long way”, and that they, “See results in 24 hours”.
Environmental pollutants can clog pores, and, while not actually causing blemishes, they can make small skin irritations develop into major outbreaks. Once again, it follows to maintain a clean and healthy skin. Heavy oils may help to hold in dirt and skin oil. Bacteria settles deep in the pores and breaks down the sebaceous gland, a heavy oil gland, and causes inflammation and blemishes. If this is an issue you must deal with, make a special effort to deep clean twice a day.
