Acne treatment is one of the most common requests dermatologists
hear from their patients. The condition generally begins in the
teenage years, but can affect people into their thirties and
forties. Blemishes often cause people to avoid social situations
and, in extreme cases, can lead to feelings of depression.
The exact cause of acne is not known, but there are several
theories. One is that break outs tend to be hereditary. If
parents and siblings suffer from it, you may too. Another is
that the hormones that surge through the body in puberty cause
the sebaceous glands to increase in size and produce more oils.
This leads to an increase in blemishes. Other hormonal causes
include pregnancy, menstruation and birth control pills.
Although the exact cause of this skin condition is unknown,
there are factors that can aggravate it. Squeezing a blemish can
spread bacteria and cause more break outs on your face.
Excessive humidity and sweating can also spread bacteria and
aggravate the condition.
There are several myths surrounding acne. Stress is thought to
cause acne, but it does not. However, the stress you feel as a
result of the pimples is real. Consider relaxation techniques,
reading the bible and prayer as a way to reduce this stress.
Other myths include diet and having dirty skin.
Proper skin care can help prevent the spread of acne. Improper
skin care can actually make blemishes worse. Excessive scrubbing
with harsh cleansers is drying, causes irritations and can
create more pimples. Use a gentle cleanser no more than twice a
day, if your skin is excessively oily, you can wash three times.
Look for a gentle cleanser that is made for your skin type.
Salicylic acid is a good ingredient to look for.
Don't use astringent unless you have very oily skin. Astringents
can dry out the skin and make it worse. You may be tempted to
skip the moisturizer, but don't do this. Your skin needs
moisture. Choose a product that is made for people who are prone
to pimples. Look for an oil free, non acnegenic lotion.
Dermatologists can help with acne treatment. Topical ointments
and oral medications can be prescribed for extreme cases. Many
of these prescriptions can cause photosensitivity. You should
always wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, if you go in
the sun while using prescription medications. For maximum
rejuvenation, your doctor may recommend a chemical peel.
In the past, you could only have a peel in the dermatologist's
office. Now there is a home treatment alternative. Esthetician's
Choice is a medical grade peel that you can use in the comfort
of your home. The main ingredient is Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)
which is considered to be the most effective skin peel product
on the market. TCA is a non toxic chemical that has been used by
dermatologists for over 30 years to treat acne and other skin
conditions.
Peels exfoliate the skin on a deeper level than can be achieved
with most other skin care products. Easy to follow, step by step
directions allow you to perform the peel easily at home.
Esthetician's Choice takes only minutes to apply. You may
experience a slight reddening for a day or tow and the skin will
continue to peel, revealing clearer skin underneath.
You will notice results quickly, unlike topical ointments and
medications, which can take months to see results. Use the peel
full strength for a deeper peel, or you can dilute it for
surface exfoliation. Visit
