Acne Treatment: 7 Things You Must Know!
Let me ask you this...
Are you suffering from acne?
Do you know what is causing
it and is there any effective
acne treatment?
Studies show that an estimated
80 % percent of people experience
acne at some point. No one
knows exactly what the cause
of acne is, but there are
a few theories.
Let's take a look at 7 of
them:
1. Acne normally begins between
the ages of eleven and thirteen.
This is true in both males
and females due to changes
in hormone levels. These hormones,
called androgens, will enlarge
the facial glands. The oil
produced by the glands is
known as sebum. The hair follicles
shed dead cells too quickly
and the cells and sebum form
a blockage in the gland.
2. Pressure and rubbing from
tight garments.
Adult with acne should avoid
tight-collared shirts that
might irritate the acne further.
Adult athletes may notice
an outbreak of acne from equipment
such as backpacks or athletic
helmets.
3. Acne can also be caused
by genetics.
Studies have shown that a
family history of acne can
affect whether you have acne
and the severity of it. So
if your mother or father had
acne as a teen, chances are
that it will be a contributory
factor to the cause of your
acne.
4. Factors linked to women
Women have several factors
that men don't that can be
linked to the cause of acne.
Women go through several phases
of life that cause their hormone
levels to change. These changes
can cause acne in adult women
between two and seven days
before their menstrual cycle.
5. Pregnancy and hormones
Pregnant women also experience
a fluctuation in hormones.
Those who may have previously
had little or no acne may
see pimples during their pregnancy
and for a time after the birth
of the baby until the hormone
levels return to normal.
6. Menopause and hormones
Menopause will cause changes
in hormone levels for woman
and can be a cause of acne.
Women also tend to wear heavy
makeup when experience an
acne outbreak, which only
worsens the problem by further
clogging pores.
7.Stress.
Especially in adults, stress
can be another cause of acne.
When you are stressed, the
hormone cortisol is produced.
Cortisol will worsen any acne
you already have. To prevent
stress-related acne, try relaxation
and meditation.
Some adults experience acne
from picking at blemishes
on their skin. You should
never pick at or squeeze a
pimple, blackhead or any other
blemish on your face.
This can only cause more acne
and possibly an infection.
When cleaning your face, avoid
harsh facial cleansers(they
cause the creation of more
sebum) and scrubbing your
face too vigorously.
Acne treatments
The sad part is that most
of the acne products are sold
over the counter for treatment.
Most over-the-counter acne
treatments are topical and
come in the form of a cream,
soap, lotion or gel.
Acne products normally contain
benzoyl peroxide (good for
killing the bacteria and possibly
reducing oil production),
sulfur (helps eliminate blackheads
and whiteheads) and/or salicylic
acid (cuts down the speed
of cell lose).
More severe cases may require
prescription acne medicine
that is topical or oral.
Oral acne medication can help
reduce both the growth of
the bacteria and inflammation
of glands.
