Acne Information

Acne is a term for pimples or blackheads that commonly form on the face, chest, upper back, or shoulders. A pimple forms when and oil gland in the skin is blocked, and secretions and bacteria build up under the skin. Acne usually starts during the teens and often persists into adulthood.

Many women get a few pimples just before their menstrual periods.

Stress and some birth control pills make acne worse. Fatty foods, such as chocolate and nuts are not considered to be a cause of acne. Many cases of acne will respond to home treatment, especially if they are mild. For severe or persistent cases, you doctor can prescribe stronger topical medication, antibiotics, other drugs. We suggest a healthier, alternative method to treating your skin.

Prevention

• Wash your hands with a mild soap, such as Dove, or one that contains Benzoyl Peroxide, such as Oxy Sensitive. Wash as often as necessary to keep your face clean, but to not scrub or overdry.
  
• While foods are no longer considered a significant cause of acne, eat a healthy diet and avoid any food that seems to cause pimples or skin outbreaks for you.

Home Treatment

• Cleanliness is essential. Wash your face, shoulders, chest and back with a very gentle soap, such Aveeno, Neutrogena, or Basis. Avoid using drying soaps, such as deodorant soaps. Always rinse well.
  
• Keep long hair off your face and shoulders, and wash it daily.
  
• Don't squeeze pimples and blackheads. This can cause infections and scarring.
  
• Benzoyl Peroxide gel or cream, a non-prescription medication is one of the common forms of treatment, but can leave your skin dry and itchy as it is harsh to sensitive skin. For Natural Herbal Skin Treatment Click Here.
