Acne is a chronic skin disorder that plagues
millions of people in the whole world for many years. It has been one
of the misfortunes of the teenagers, although infants and adults are
also affected. Certain studies have noted that acne is brought about by
the inflammation of oil glands, known as sebaceous glands, under the
skin. It is the inflammation of these glands that generally causes the
secretion of oil on to the skin, which in turns blocks the pores of the
skin blocking in dead cells and bacteria, promoting the acne formation.
When it comes to acne formation, there are actually a number of
precautions you can take to control acne. As you may know, there are
also a wide range of prescription and non-prescription drugs on the
market today which can greatly relieve and control acne. It is also
worth noting that acne can be eased but it can also be aggravated. So,
it is important that you know the factors that can help control acne and
those that can worsen the condition.
One of the best and simple ways to control acne is simply washing your
face with a very mild soap at least twice a day. A certain line of
products you can use to control acne are the astringent cleansers since
they have the power to reduce oiliness. However, it is also worth
noting that astringent cleansers are dehydrating so it very important to
moisturize afterwards with a non-greasy lotion for a much better
result. Another helpful step to control acne is to make sure that you
use a clean towel when washing the affected areas of your skin as this
skin condition can be exacerbated through hand to face contact. In
relation to this, you must also avoid rubbing your skin as this act can
jus worsen the condition. So if you want to control acne, simply pat
your face tenderly to dry it off after washing.
There are also a number of over-the-counter medications out there that
you can take to help control acne. These non-prescription medications
can greatly help control acne, although the effects may take a little
time to show. One of the helpful tips to control acne is simply for you
to look for products, when buying over-the-counter acne medication,
which contain sulphur, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide. Just
understand that these ingredients are pivotal in the treatment of acne
and can aid to control acne from forming. These ingredients can be
found largely on creams, washes, cleansers, gels, and lotions.
For those with severe acne, you should know that the best way to control
acne is to take prescription medication with the proper guidance of
your doctor. Antibiotics, anti-bacterial lotion, Retin-A cream, and
some concentrated creams, lotions and gels are the common prescription
medication to use to control acne.
