How to get rid of Acne?

 

The term «acne» is broad and it covers pimples, blemishes, whiteheads and blackheads. Though it is adopted to consider that that is the teens problem, in fact it isn’t so. Acne can strike at all the ages.

The principle of the action for getting rid of the problem is usually common and consists in the following:

First you have to have your pores uncloged. For this salicylis acid is used. As the condition for the acne to be formed is when a «plug» of sebum and keratin clogg the pores, the action of it is directed on loosening the plug by softening the keratin. It is important to know that salicylis acid influences the skin making it more sensitive to UV light, so it is necessary to use sunblock regularly. It is not also good for your skin if you exfoliate or wash face too much. The skin gets irritated and there appears the effect of extra dead skin, which plugs the pores again.

 When the pores are clogged bacterias grow in there and produce chemicals, which influence the pore walls breaking them down. As a result a pimple forms. So it is necessary to wipe out them using cream, gel or soap with such component as benzoyl peroxide in the morning and before going to sleep. To avoid irritating the skin, which can be resulted in redness and dryness use non- comedogenic moisturizer. If the effect doesn’t disappear you need the product with lower concentration.

Effective active ingredients for acne treatment is sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur as they are keratolytic like salicylic acid. You should take patience and wait till the medication will work.

Popping the pimples you should do it correctly in order not to create infection or scar.

Warning! Though there are different effective measures for acne treatment the can cause serious side effects. So consult your dermatologist before taking any of them.
