No
matter what you call it pimples, blackheads or zits these
are all forms of acne and some
time can be very hard to treat. Acne
treatment can be home remedies or you can use over the
counter products or even prescription medication given by
your doctor. We will talk about some home remedies and review
a few over the counter products.
The
first thing you should know is that acne can not be remedied
over night. On average it takes 6 to 8 weeks for acne symptoms
to clear up. If someone or some company is telling you there
product is will clear up your acne over night then be highly
skeptical. It just doesn't happen.
The
best advice is for you to try different options and see
what happened. Listed below are a few home remedies for
you to try that might help. Not all will but keep trying
until you find what works for you.
First
let’s talk about how acne occurs!
Acne
is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit and is found all
over the body. The Pilosebaceous unit is a sebaceous gland
connected to a canal and is called a follicle. That follicle
contains a fine hair. These are found mostly in the face,
chest and upper back. The sebaceous glands make an oily
substance called sebum. The sebum drains into the skin through
an opening in the follicle called a pore. keratinocytes
also line the follicle these 3 items hair, sebum and keratinocytes
can produce a plug. This plug can stop the sebum from reaching
the skin and so sebum and other cells allow bacteria Propionibacterium
acnes to grow in the plugged follicles. The result is pimples.
What Causes Acne?
The
exact cause of acne is unknown, but doctors feel it’s a
verity of factors that lead to the cause of acne. Hormones,
heredity and genetics can all play a part.
Many people believe to have acne you must have oily skin.
So a good question to ask would be if you have dry skin
why do you still have acne? The idea that only people with
oily skin will have acne is just wrong. Trying to remove
oils from your skin in hopes it will make your acne disappear
is an exercise in futility. Unless your skin is oily, drying
your skin will not work. If you skin is oily all you can
do is try to keep id dry, but you can’t treat acne by drying
the skin. This might even hurt you more.
Ingredients
in acne medications:
The
most widely used ingredients in acne medication is benzoyl
peroxide and is found in many gels and ointments. benzoyl
peroxide fights bacteria that cause pimples it also help
to remove dead skin cells from the affected area.
