The Sure Way to Fight Acne
Posted by GuestPoster in Health & Fitness on September 2nd, 2010
People that suffer from acne all have one thing in common other than having acne; they want to find a solution that works for them. Some people have tried acne laser treatments while others have undergone chemical peel treatments.
Both solutions work but they work to varying degrees based on the severity of the acne and the type of skin we have. With a chemical peel or laser treatment we may have cleared up the breakout but the war is long from being over. In order to keep the acne away we must keep a daily cleaning schedule.
The first thing we should train ourselves to do is to cleanse our face in the morning. Using a facial cleanser is the best way to ensure that we are properly cleaning off the gunk that leads to acne. Facial cleansers that have benzoyl peroxide in them will also kill the bacteria that live in our pores, feeding off of the dead skin cells. When we wash our face it is best just to use the cleanser and our hands so that we don’t agitate the skin anymore than we need to.
To help increase the effectiveness of the facial cleanser we can follow up with a facial scrub. A scrub will do the job of a wash cloth in that it will actually take off any excess dead skin cells or oil and dirt that may still be left on the surface of the skin. Any debris that is left on the surface of the skin is a potential threat to clog up the pores so it is important to keep the surface as clean as possible throughout the day.
To ensure that our face will have the best fighting chance against any other debris that may find its way to our face during the day we can apply a skin lotion on it right after the previous two steps. The lotion will also help to keep the skin moisturized as well as helping to slough off dead skin cells. If you have oily skin then it may be more beneficial to use an astringent instead such as witch hazel.
This 3 step process is the most effective way that most of us have to fight acne. The best thing we can do is not get discouraged when we don’t see the instant results that we want. It took time for the acne to develop and it is going to take time to get it to go away.
