How To Determine What Is The Best Acne Remedy For You.

By Clayton D.

Definition- Acne is defined as a skin condition caused by over active oil glands, blocking, clogging and plugging pores with skin, dirt and hair instead of evenly distributing oil over the skin surface. The exact cause of the acne must be established before a suitable acne remedy can be identified.

Identification- It is absolutely essential to identify and diagnose acne correctly, often very difficult to do as acne resembles many other skin problems. Acne features include excessive oil on skin surface, white and black heads and large lumps or bumps on or below skin surface.

Types- Acne can inflammatory and non-inflammatory in nature, depending how serious the condition is. White- and black heads are considered non-inflammatory acne. White heads form when oil and bacteria plugs pores just below skin surface. Whiteheads are least visible of all the acne types. Blackheads are formed in the exact same manner whiteheads do with oil and dirty plugging pores. However black heads' colour is derived from the melanin and oxidizes contained in the oil changing colour. Blacheads' are the most stubborn acne to get rid of. Washing or scrubbing alone will not be sufficient with sebum content taking a very long time to drain. Papule's and Pustules are inflammatory in nature due to the extreme pain and discomfort caused by the legions. Papules form with follicle wall breakage and white blood cells rushing to the pores causing intense inflammation after a couple of days. The inflammation may increase to such an extreme that the papules collapse totally and Nodules or Cysts are formed.

Causes- Acne break-outs can be triggered by an endless list of causes such as bad eating habits, lack of proper hygiene, insomnia, vitamin deficiency, stress, hormonal changes during puberty and pregnancy.

Treatment options- An endless range of acne treatment options are available from natural and herbal remedies to prescription medication in the form of antibiotics, ointments and topical creams.

Home remedies- Apple Cider Vinegar is a very effective acne remedy clearing both spots and acne scars. The vinegar should be dabbed on the spots and left overnight. Calamine Lotion is not just great for treating chicken pox but also acne by merely dotting the lotion onto the spots. Aloe Vera gel or sap will clear the skin condition within a couple of month as well as improve skins' overall health.

Hydration- Skin hydration is absolutely essential for combating acne. This is easily achieved by drinking a lot of water. The water will detox and flush-out built up toxins in a natural and safe way. You will notice the difference in just a couple of days. Your skin will be radiant, soft and glowing.

Dietary deficiency- Acne can be caused by a lack in your diet in the form of vitamins and minerals. A great range of vitamin and mineral supplements are available at your pharmacy or local health store.

Professional analysis- It is essential to have your skin condition analysed by a professional such as a Physician or Dermatologist, he or she will be able to recommend the best treatment for the acne. The acne treatment should absolutely match you skin and acne type. - 17274
