How To Treat Acne

Acne can be embarrassing, but it is not a disease. It is a skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged and start to produce excess oil and dead cells. The excess oil and dead cells can then block the pores, creating a lump or pore. This condition is called acne vulgaris.

Pimples are caused by bacteria, which live naturally on our skin. When we are exposed to certain triggers, the bacteria multiply and cause the pore to clog. This can happen because of excessive oil production, changes in the environment, stress, and certain foods.

There are many treatments for acne. Some of them are expensive and others are free. Some work well, while others may not work at all.

Some treatments are topical, which means they are applied directly to the skin. Others are oral, meaning that you take pills or capsules. Still others are hormonal, meaning that they target the hormones in your body. All of these treatments are effective for some people, but they may not work for everyone.

If you want to try to get rid of acne, here are some tips:

• Try to avoid using soap, shampoo, or other harsh chemicals on your skin. These products strip the skin of natural oils and dry it out.
• Avoid eating spicy foods, especially chili peppers. These can irritate your skin and cause pimples.
• Keep your skin clean and moisturized. If you wash your face too often, you will strip the skin of natural oils.
• Wash your face with mild soaps and cleansers. Be careful about using products that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries the skin and can cause pimples.
• Avoid wearing tight clothing and jewelry. Tight clothing can trap sweat and moisture against your skin. Wearing jewelry can also trap moisture and bacteria against the skin.
• Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to keep your skin clean and hydrated.
• Drink plenty of water and drink fruit juices. Water flushes toxins from your system, and fruit juices provide vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
• Eat a healthy diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. They will give you the nutrients you need to fight acne.
• Exercise regularly. Exercise helps to keep your body in shape and it helps to flush toxins from your system.
• Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can make you more prone to acne.
• Try not to worry about acne. Sometimes worrying can make it worse.
• If you think you have acne, see a doctor. Your doctor can prescribe medication or perform other tests to help determine the cause of your acne.
• You may want to visit a dermatologist if your acne does not go away. Dermatologists specialize in treating skin conditions, including acne. They can prescribe medications or perform other procedures to help clear up your skin.
