Acne and Skin Care
Being the outermost layer of our body, skin faces all types of pollutants,
microorganism attacks, and weather changes, while protecting our body
tissue at the cost of its own health. It is necessary to take daily
care of skin in order to avoid any skin disorders. For people suffering
from acne, a skin care regimen becomes more important as a lack of
cleansing and hygiene might lead to a flare-up of already infected
skin.
It is easy to take care of normal skin. But acne-infected skin needs
special handling as it becomes sensitive to cosmetics, dietary habits,
and psychological factors like stress.
Acne-infected skin should be washed with a mild cleanser.
Cleansers or soaps with very heavy fragrances should be avoided
as they might trigger an allergic reaction. If you have acne,
wash your face at least twice a day: once in morning and in
the evening, along with washing with a three-step acne kit.
In between, wash your face after any strenuous activity which
might make you perspire, like exercise. Acne-infected skin
should not be scrubbed as it will spread the infection on
other areas of skin. Instead, use an oil-absorbing
microfiber cloth that grabs oil and traps it. Skin should
be thoroughly rinsed with water after washing. Dermatologists
also recommend for acne patients to shampoo hair regularly
as oils from the hair spread to the face with ease.
If your skin is very oily,
an alcohol-based astringent is ideal to wipe the skin before
washing or before going to bed. Based on our own research,
we helped build a solution that does not use alcohol, which
burns the skin. [Feel
free to read more on Tru-derma.] Keep in mind that this
astringent should be put on a microfiber cloth first and then
on the skin. Do not use too much astringent as it might cause
irritation in the skin. For dry
skin, use a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide as it is less harsh
than 5-10% Benzoyl Peroxide creams. But, if your skin is dry
and you suffer from acne, then keep away from creamy cosmetics
or cleansing milk as it will increase the oiliness of infected
area.
Acne patients should wash their face with warm water, mild soap,
and use only their fingertips for washing. Do not use any kind of scrub,
harsh wash cloth, or sponge on the skin infected with acne. Rinse
with warm water and then pat dry. All this hardly takes a
minute but makes a lot of difference to your skin. When using a microfiber
cloth, make sure to wash the cloth after every use.
Although skin care is necessary to maintain healthy skin,
if you do not pay attention to the internal processes for
healthy skin, then no amount of outer care will make your
skin clear. A poor diet, bad digestive function, liver malfunction,
excessive sun exposure, and smoking are some of the reasons
behind bad and unhealthy skin. Keep in mind too that there
is no cure for acne, so it will keep coming back until you
do something to actively treat it. [We recommend staying away
from oral acne fighting products as they have negative side
effects.]

For acne patients, it is very important to pay attention to what
kind of cosmetics purchased and use. Most of the cosmetics have chemicals
which produce comedones (pimple). If you have acne then you should
look for cosmetics which are labeled as being non-comedogenic. All
the cosmetics you use should be oil free. Ideally, they should have
acne-fighting ingredients in them! Even oily hair
products might spread acne to the forehead and T-area (the shape the
acne makes down your nose and across your eyebrow ridge). To have healthy
skin, it's necessary to get rid of dead skin cells. If you don't, then
the skin will look dull. Dead skin prevents oxygen, moisture and nutrients
from reaching the new skin cells being formed under the dead cells.
Scrubs and chemical peels can be used to rid skin of dead cells, but
they are dangerous. Again, based on this research and recommendations
from dermatologists, we helped build an outstanding exfoliator which
removes the outer layer of dead skin so the medication can do its.
We call this product Tru-derma,
and you can read more about it here and make a decision for yourself.
For people having acne or very
oily skin,
a traditional face mask made of gram flour is also very useful. It
not only exfoliates dead cells without harming the skin, it also dries
out the excess oil and relieves the skin of stickiness. In fact, it
is good to use natural cleansers on acne skin and oily skin.
Orange peels are one such method which makes oily skin
glow with its essential oils and drying property. You can prepare
it at home by drying out an orange peel and then grinding it to a
fine mix. It is especially good in summers to clean skin of excessive
oil.
All-in-all, essential skin care can be completed in four easy steps.
Determine your skin type, perhaps with the help of some skin specialist.
Clean your skin daily. Use a 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide exfoliator, a toner
to cleanse your skin once you have exfoliated the dead and dirty skin
away, and apply a restoring cream to keep the acne from returning.
Optional care includes a moisturizer, even for oily skin,
as all types of skin need protection and lubrication. Protect your
skin from the sun and exfoliate regularly to remove dead cells.
We personally recommend our effective three-step kit, Tru-derma, which
we have built to stringently conform to the specifications of medical
professionals and dermatologists, most of which have been outlined
in this article. To jump to information on Tru-derma, click here.
