Acne is caused by an overproduction of sebum, a substance which is
produced by your Sebaceous glands. Your Sebaceous glands can be found on
your face, upper neck and chest. Sebum production increases during
adolescence and starts to wean around the age of 20. This does not mean
that acne vanishes at age 20. Infact, acne, which is usually thought of as
a teenager's skin care issue affects adults both female and male.
Treating acne requires patience, finding the right acne treatment
products and sticking to a good treatment routine. Here are tips on what
to do and what to avoid.
Do
Cleanse. Fighting acne requires you to establish a daily routine of
gently washing your face with a good acne skin cleanser. Acne skin cleansers will get rid
of the accumulated makeup, oils, sweat and dirt on your face. There are
skin cleansers for various types of skin types: oily, dry, sensitive and
normal. You will want to buy the correct product for your skin type.
Exfoliate. Exfoliation allows your new skin cells to shine through by
getting rid of your dead skin cells. The result is a new replenished look
that helps give your skin a youthful, fresh appearance. It is advisable to
exfoliate more during the summer months since you tend to sweat more.
Moisturize even if you have oily skin. Choose the right moisturizer for
your skin type.
Use "noncomedogenic" comestics and skin care products. These products
do not clog your pores.
Consult a day spa esthetician or dermatologist for expert advice, if
your problem gets consistently worse.
Don'ts
Do not overwash your face.
Do not scrub or rub your skin excessively.
Never pop, squeeze or pick at acne. This spreads the inflammation and
makes things worse.
If you find that certain foods aggravate your acne, try to avoid them
(e.g. oily foods such as fast food).
Avoid excessive sun, tanning booths and sun lamps.
Avoid excessive sweating or humidity.
