Using Acne Cleansers To Control Your Acne
Before getting into acne control, let us know how it is formed.
Oil called sebum is secreted normally from hair follicles which
travel up to the pores where it lubricates and protects the
skin. Sometimes, there are overworked oil glands which enlarge
and produce too much sebum which can get trapped in the hair
follicle. Thus the pores will get clogged which are either
called blackheads or whiteheads, allow bacteria overgrowth of
Propionibacterium acnes. In the surrounding skin, acne will be
formed by inflaming the hair follicle by this bacterium.
Acne control
Including a variety of seeds, nuts, vegetables and fresh fruit
in your diet can be a good control for acne. Drink plenty of
water every day since dehydrated skin sheds dead cells which can
lead to clogged pores and effective acne control. Most skin care
products contain chemical ingredients that can aggravate acne.
If you use make-up, try products that are non-comedogenic.
Keeping stress levels low can also reduce the release of stress
hormones and reduce the intensity of acne. Dairy products and
red meat in your diet can cause acne. Heavily tanned skin can
lead to blocked pores. Some of the acne control guidelines
recommended by The American Academy of Dermatology are as
follows. * Do not squeeze, pop or pick at the acne lesion. This
can spread the inflammatory process and worsen the acne. * Wash
your face twice a day gently with mild soap or sulfur soap. Just
pat your face |

dry and do not rub it with a towel. * Avoid oil
based products. * Avoid acne irritants such as airborne grease
from fast food restaurants, rubbing or friction from sporting
equipment etc. * Give anti-acne products time to clear up the
lesions. This can mean several weeks or even months. * Some acne
products increase the skin's photosensitivity. When in the sun
wear a hat and use sunscreen and avoid tanning booths while
using these products.
Acne Cleanser
Acne Cleansers have an important part in skin care. A good acne
cleanser will remove make-up, oil build up, dirt and other
debris from the skin's surface, preparing it for acne fighting
treatments.
Before the acne treatment, the skin has to be washed properly.
Avoid using bath soap on your skin for cleansing. There are many
kinds of skin cleansers in the market and you can choose the
mildest cleanser for your skin. They are all natural and
medicated cleansers and are great in controlling acnes. Some of
the natural daily cleansers are as shown.
1. PhytoMe Gentle Cleansing Gel Ingredients include herbal
extracts that remove debris, impurities and excess sebum from
the skin's surface to leave a clean refreshed feeling to your
face. It can be used 2-3 times daily as a facial cleanser or
make-up remover.
2. Clarins One-Step Facial Cleanser It includes all natural,
facial cleanser/toner/make-up removers. This acne cleanser uses
