Wise Acne Skin Care

Believe me, when I was a teenager it was embarrassing to walk into those well lit classrooms for all to see what was on my face! I hated the light, and made sure none were on when I was at home, but having brothers that were on to me. The lights didn't stay off for long.

When it comes to our appearance, one thing that sets us apart is, the blemish! That awful looking red spot, looking like a target ready to be nailed. When you are a teenager, this is one of the last things you want to have to deal with. It's bad enough that you are going through puberty, and your voice is changing for boys, and girls are getting their menses. Hormones, that is are at play! That's one of the biggest reasons most teenagers tend to find themselves dotted up in their teenage years.

From teenagers to adults, we all get to deal with zits, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, at some time in our lives - there are things that can be done when acne starts to develop. The first defense that you can have is to keep your hands off your face, good hand washing, and hygiene go a long way in preventing further blockages of the oil glands.

Beautiful skin, is clean skin. One of the acne skin care tips that you can put into practice is to regularly clean your skin with mild cleansers. Make sure too that you are cleaning your skin, especially, your face with a mild soap or cleanser to avoid irritating it. No scrubbing, no grainy scrubs, just gentle cleansers, and or a soft wash cloth or just use clean hands and warm water with gentle cleanser. Gentle is key. The cause of Acne is not from dirt, per se, but from overproduction of oil secretion and skin cells mixed together blocking a hair follicle thereby clogging the oil gland.

Hormone fluctuations, hence puberty is when you start getting the pimples. Also, to add insult to injury, the skin cells turn over rapidly as you are growing, and mix with the oil secretions, then causing a blockage when it starts to build up. The tips and tricks are not about diet, but rather keeping the blockages from occurring, the only way to slow it down and to eliminate it is to use exfoliation methods prescribed by a dermatologist, and what schedule he or she may set up for your regime at home. As long as you haven't picked at the skin so severely, and caused a secondary infection under the skin, there shouldn't be any need for antibiotics, but talk with a dermatologist, after all that is what they specialize in.
