Acne- Fighting Blemishes
If you have ever tried to get products to clear blemishes, you would have come across a whole lot with different brand names all claiming one wonder or the other. Some actually tell you that you can get a clear skin in a week. Well I'm not here to disprove that but just to point out that what works for Jack may not work for Jill. Whether it works or not would depend on how your body reacts to the medication. It is necessary to point out that you may use any of these products and immediately see results or I should rather say improvement because you may also use these products and see results but no the kind you paid for. A product that worked for one can cause another's face to look irritated and dry and may most likely cause more break outs.
If you notice a dryness of the skin, using a moisturizer should help. In fact, it could also help your blemishes since we should know that acne is worsened by dryness of the skin. You say a skin is healthy when it is clean and well moisturized. You can try to use moisturizer to help the problem with the dry skin. This could help your blemishes as well since many times acne is fueled by dry skin problems. A healthy skin is one that is well moisturized and clean. I do hope we are not getting set to wash the hell ( or acne ) out of our faces and then nourish it with lots of oil because of the last statement about a healthy skin? When we say clean, we do not mean washing the face several times a day. This will in fact worsen the situation as the skin would get irritated. Washing the face twice a day is quite enough. You clean your face to remove any oil, dirt, and pollutants from the air or make up because if you do not, the remains could result in bacteria seeping into your pores. Unfortunately, there are almost always bacteria in your pores. Whatever acne product we use tries to get rid of them and whenever that is achieved, you end up with a pimple free face.
However, Bacteria are not the only cause of acne. There is also the issue of Hormones. The great rate at which Hormones are at work in adolescents result in their tendency to suffer a lot from this condition and therefore have blemishes. If you fall into the category of people whose Acne condition is caused by Hormonal activities, then you don't have much of a problem because Acne products are usually quite effective for those who have zits caused by hormones. They usually last for a short time and once they have gotten over that period of increased hormonal activity, their blemishes are gone. Before then, medication found over the counter seem to helps dry out the visible pimples and prevent fresh outbreaks.
If outbreaks continue to happen you might want to try new products or just forget the acne products in the store and seek out the advice of a dermatologists. Dermatologists would be able to decide whether to prescribe medications that you take orally to help fight the bacteria in pores or prescribe stronger medications that may work better than the ones in the store.
Remember, always try to find out more about your condition. The more correct information you have, the faster and easier it would be to realize your dream of being Acne free.
