Dark pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, redness, inflammation and painful irritation are typical indications of acne prone skin. Excessive secretion of sebum can block the hair follicle opening, between the sebaceous gland towards the surface of the skin. Usually sebum helps in removal of dead cells from hair follicles
Effective Acne Prone Skin Treatment Tips
• Because of its antibiotic effects garlic can be used as an acne remedy by controlling the growth of bacteria in the pores.
• Vitamins A & C are present in tomatoes so tomatoes have anti-oxidant effects. Vitamin C is partly responsible for revitalizing the skin while vitamin A is responsible for maintaining healthy skin.
• In order to avoid acne always try to use medicated, oil-free cosmetics.
• Do not clean your face with a scrubbing action, use gentle motion.
• Off-the-shelf scrubs can be irritating to the skin surface, so use them carefully or avoid them completely.
• Pimples heal faster if you can avoid trying to squeeze or pop them.
• Medicated face cleansers are much more effective in acne treatment than non-medicated cleansers.
• Try to keep away from cream-based cleansers if you have trouble with oily skin.
• Mix orange peel powder with water and apply it on your face’s affected area. Wash it off after 20 minutes with warm water and continue with this, shortly you will observe ‘fruitful’ results.
• Indian Neem also has known antibacterial effects that really make it useful in controlling various epidermal dysfunctions like acne.
• Juice of raw papaya is also very effective in treating acne – apply directly to the affected areas of the face.
• Juice of cucumber is often used locally on affected areas of the face and is among good remedies for cleansing and calming irritated acne prone skin.
Repetitive washing of sebum is another treatment of acne. In most drugstores, acne sufferers will typically find several skin washes and pore cleansers designed to treat acne. The best face washes typically contain 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide or 2% Salicylic Acid. Both of these medicated substances play a key role in treating acne.
Treating acne can be a frustrating experience for more serious conditions. Sometimes, in addition to natural remedies, a specialized product can be the best solution. For breakouts on the scalp and around the hairline, a shampoo for oily hair and a deep cleansing conditioner combined is the best treatment. Razor bumps can also be treated with a clear pore shave cream.
