You look in the mirror today and you see you have developed
a new “zit”. How do you go about clearing up this problem you
see so vividly on your face?
Well, follow your mother’s childhood directions for your skin and
acne by cleaning it gently! Don’t go at this “zit” with the vengence of
wrath! Scrubbing at it with strong detergent soaps will only
make your skin problem worse. Most doctors agree with your
Mother, they recommend using a mild cleanser for your skin and
acne problem, once in the morning and once before you go
to bed.
Ask your doctor or another health professional for advice as to
which cleanser to use for your skin and acne care.
Acne skin care also means washing your skin after any heavy
exercise. You should wash your face from under the jaw to your
hairline. Do not use rough scrubs or pads. It is truly important
to thoroughly rinse the skin with clear water after washing it.
You risk developing scars if you begin to squeeze, pinch or pick
at your acne blemish. Additional acne lesions can form in areas
where pressure is frequently applied to the skin. And if you take
your skin and acne seriously, you must resist rubbing and touching
the skin lesions.
For the older people who suffer, your skin and Rosaeca may really be
what you are battling with. Commonly referred to as “adult acne”,
it can not be healed using traditional acne over the counter remedies.
You must confer with your Doctor to get a prescription gel application
to fight this ongoing disease.
The cosmetics you use, such as foundation, blush, eye shadow and
moisturizers, should be oil free. You may find it difficult to apply your
foundation evenly during the first weeks of your treatment. Your skin
and acne may be red or scaly, particularly if you are using topical
treatments such as tretinoin or benzoyl peroxide. Hair products should
typically be labeled as “Noncomedogenic” (does not promote the
formation of blemishes.)
Remember that sunburns can seriously damage acne prone skin. The
suntan or sunburn that reddens the skin is very deceiving. It may make
the blemishes less visible, and the skin feel drier for a little while, but the
benefits are temporary! The sun promotes aging of the skin, and causes
skin cancer and many medications you might use could make you prone
to burning your skin.
Your skin and acne can be healed. By taking control of your blemishes,
you can take back your life and be the person God meant you to be!
Patients should wash their face from under the jaw to the hairline; rough scrubs or pads should not be used. It is important that patients thoroughly rinse their skin after washing it. Astringents are not recommended for acne skin care unless the skin is very oily, and then they should be used only on oily spots. Doctors also recommend that patients regularly shampoo their hair as part of acne skin care. Those with oily hair may want to shampoo it every day for proper acne skin care.
