How to Deal With
Teenage Acne
Acne is a highly complex condition that involves many parts
of the body. It tends to show up as only eruptions on the face and else where
on your skin. It is a signal that you have problems somewhere deep within your
body. Acne can be caused by a dirty colon, poor food digestion, a weak liver
and other conditions that will cause your blood to carry too much toxic
materials.
In order to clear acne, it is not always possible to stick
to one treatment and expect it to go away. However, it may be possible to just
use one special cream and see your acne literally disappear.
Acne may go away by just doing one thing but do not expect
that forever. A facial cream, proper diet, herbal treatment, exercise, and
colon cleanse themselves may not be able to get the job done. You will need to
perform a certain combination to see desired results.
An important concept to remember is if your facial pores are
not open or cleaned, they can build up toxic oil which is very hard to clean.
This results in a growth or pimple that begins to increase in size as more
toxic oil tries to reach the surface of your skin. If the pore walls burst
under the skin, white blood cells move in to digest the collagen around the
pores. This results in major scars appearing on your face.
To avoid visible scars, you will need to start an acne
cleansing program before or just as soon as you see acne coming. This will
ultimately prevent pimples and back heads getting to the point where they are
severely infected and burst.
Living with acne over a long period of time, (mostly during
your teen years), can be emotionally stressful. Keep in mind; this is the age
where your appearance is the most important. Teen acne is specifically hard on
the ego. Many times this results in the basic teasing from your classmates.
Because of this many teens not only suffer from the obvious acne, but also
depression.
During their adolescent years, a high percentage of
teenagers will have at least one whitehead, blackhead, or pimple. Teenage acne
usually occurs between the ages of 12 and 20. This is usually the result of
conflicting hormone levels. Once the hormones are in order, the acne will
usually disappear in a short amount of time.
Eating healthy and drinking plenty of water will help by
keeping your skin hydrated. Girls should preferably use oil free cosmetics.
Lightly exfoliating once a week will help open the pores, and remove dead skin
cells.
Smaller cases of acne can be controlled by using over the
counter medicines that are applied directly to the skin. These medications
almost always include benzoyl peroxide as an active ingredient.
Natural products that can be used to treat acne are tea tree
oil or green tea. You should wash your face twice a day with a mixture of these
herbs in order to reduce the number of break outs. Both ingredients have anti
inflammatory qualities.
As teenagers get older and their hormones are in full
control, their acne should have started to disappear. Some people continue to
have outbreaks even as during their adult life. If the teenage acne condition
worsens or becomes emotionally debilitating, it is very important see a
dermatologist.
