Acne Treatment: 7 Things You Must Know!


Let me ask you this...

Are you suffering from acne?

Do you know what is causing it and is there any effective acnetreatment?

Studies show that an estimated 80 % percent of people experienceacne at some point. No one knows exactly what the cause of acneis, but there are a few theories.

Let´s take a look at 7 of them:

1. Acne normally begins between the ages of eleven and thirteen.

This is true in both males and females due to changes in hormonelevels. These hormones, called androgens, will enlarge thefacial glands. The oil produced by the glands is known assebum. The hair follicles shed dead cells too quickly and thecells and sebum form a blockage in the gland.

2. Pressure and rubbing from tight garments.

Adult with acne should avoid tight-collared shirts that mightirritate the acne further. Adult athletes may notice an outbreakof acne from equipment such as backpacks or athletic helmets.

3. Acne can also be caused by genetics.

Studies have shown that a family history of acne can affectwhether you have acne and the severity of it. So if your motheror father had acne as a teen, chances are that it will be acontributory factor to the cause of your acne.

4. Factors linked to women

Women have several factors that men don't that can be linked tothe cause of acne. Women go through several phases of life thatcause their hormone levels to change. These changes can causeacne in adult women between two and seven days before theirmenstrual cycle.

5. Pregnancy and hormones

Pregnant women also experience a fluctuation in hormones.

Those who may have previously had little or no acne may seepimples during their pregnancy and for a time after the birth ofthe baby until the hormone levels return to normal.

6. Menopause and hormones

Menopause will cause changes in hormone levels for woman and canbe a cause of acne. Women also tend to wear heavy makeup whenexperience an acne outbreak, which only worsens the problem byfurther clogging pores.

7.Stress.

Especially in adults, stress can be another cause of acne. When you are stressed, the hormone cortisol is produced.

Cortisol will worsen any acne you already have. To preventstress-related acne, try relaxation and meditation.

Some adults experience acne from picking at blemishes on theirskin. You should never pick at or squeeze a pimple, blackhead orany other blemish on your face.

This can only cause more acne and possibly an infection. When cleaning your face, avoid harsh facial cleansers(they cause the creation of more sebum) and scrubbing your face too vigorously.

Acne treatments

The sad part is that most of the acne products are sold over thecounter for treatment.

Most over-the-counter acne treatments are topical and come inthe form of a cream, soap, lotion or gel.

Acne products normally contain benzoyl peroxide (good forkilling the bacteria and possibly reducing oil production),sulfur (helps eliminate blackheads and whiteheads) and/orsalicylic acid (cuts down the speed of cell lose).

More severe cases may require prescription acne medicine that istopical or oral.

Oral acne medication can help reduce both the growth of thebacteria and inflammation of glands.
