Dermatologists normally treat acne but often you can use some homemade recipes
to prevent severe acne. You should wash your face at least thrice a day with
cold water and a mild cleanser. Using essential oils like lavender, chamomile,
calendula, juniper and mint with almond oil on your skin will give effective results.
You should also start adding zinc supplements to your diet and avoid caffeine,
junk food and salty foods. Other than these homemade recipes, you can also take
prescribed medicines that contain benzoyl peroxide, salicyclic acid, sulfur,
Azelaic acid, vitamin A, and OTC topical medicines to recover fast from acne.
Individuals that are prone to acne and are being treated for it should use oil
free cosmetic products. Benzoyl peroxide and other acne skin care treatment can
redden the skin so applying regular cosmetics products might be difficult.
Regular cosmetic products usually contain more fatty acids that are harmful to
acne prone individuals. Looking for organic and acne skin care products that
will match your skin tone can help avoid more infections.
Makeup conceals acne, it doesn't cure it! But you already knew that, right?
Using makeup to conceal acne isn't difficult, but there are some basic rules
that you should always follow. Your three acne hiding weapons will be a
concealer, a foundation and a finishing powder. Stay away from the dollar store
and use only brand names that you can trust. Choose only oil-free makeup
products that match your skin tone. Oil-free is the key to success here so read
the labels carefully. You don't want to aggravate your existing acne problem by
layering a fresh coat of oil on skin that already has too much to begin with.
Choose a hypoallergenic brand while you're at it.
With the advanced acne treatments and acne products available today, acne need
no longer have such a crippling impact on the sufferers' life. Once the outward
symptom of acne first becomes apparent, that is, inflammation and lesion on the
skin, it is important that you treat it right away so as to slow down or stop
further inflammation.
There are many moisturizers available that are specifically designed to help
with acne such as Cetaphil, Eucerin, and Neutrogena. Severe acne, or acne that
has not responded well to over the counter products, can be successfully
treated with the knowledge and expertise of a dermatologist. A dermatologist
will consider many things before suggesting treatment. He will perform a
thorough evaluation of the patient, considering things such as severity of
acne, patient age, lifestyle, and co-existing conditions. The dermatologist
then may suggest a combination of two or three different therapies for best
treatment.
In general, over-the-counter acne treatments and traditional prescription
medications have not proven effective in the reduction and elimination of acne.
There are other less traditional ways to approach the treatment of acne. When
delving into non-traditional medicine most are dealing with approaches such as
acupuncture, herbal medicines, homeopathic medicine, mind/body medicine,
Ayurveda and Kampo as well as dietary and nutritional considerations.
